Patent CA-2285023-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ATWELL JOHN LESLIE
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1998-03-26
Abstract: This invention provides polyvalent or polyspecific protein complexes, comprising three or more polyeptides which associate to form three or more functional target-binding regions (TBRs), and in which each individual polypeptide comprises two or more immunoglobulin-like domains which are covalently joined together, such that two Ig-like domains in a single polypeptide do not associate with each other to form a TBR. By using a linker peptide of fewer than three amino acid residues the immunoglobulin-like domains of the individual polyeptides are prevented from associating, so that complex formation between polyeptides is favoured. Preferably the polyvalent or polyspecific protein is a trimer or tetramer. The proteins of the invention have specificities which may be the same or different, and are suitable for use as therapeutic, diagnostic or imaging agents.

Title: Power supply chain
Inventor: BLASE GUENTER
IPC: F16G13/16
Filed: 1998-04-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a power supply chain (1) for guiding cables, flexible tubes and the like between two connection points, comprising several chain links connected and detached by upper and lower crossbars. Said links are assembled in two parallel strands, overlap each other and can be inclined. In each chain strand, the chain links (2) alternate in the form of inner links (3) having inner overlap areas (5) and outer links (4) having outer overlap areas (5). Inclination of the chain links (2) in relation to each other is limited by stops (8, 9, 12, 13) which are arranged in the overlap areas. The curvature of the chain (1) is defined by the arrangement of the stops (8, 9, 12, 13). By arranging the symmetrically disposed stops (8, 9, 12, 13) in an unsymmetrical position in relation to the central axis running in the longitudinal direction of the chain (S2), two different curvatures of the power supply chain (1) can be obtained using the same inner and outer links (3, 4) depending on the orientation of the links (3, 4) in relation to the longitudinal direction of the chain.

Inventor: HOOK RICHARD WAYNE
IPC: A01B61/04
Filed: 2000-02-17
Abstract: A spring trip standard for a tillage implement includes a coil spring freely compressed between an upper spring-abutting surface on the mounting bracket and a tower spring-abutting surface on a casting which is connected by a transverse pivot to the mounting bracket. A tool supporting shank is bolted to the casting and biased downwardly into a ground working position by the spring. The casting includes an integral downstop extending forwardly from the pivot. The downstop contacts the bottom of the bracket when the shank is in the ground working position so that a tension link between the bracket and casting is eliminated. A positive upstop limits upward pivoting of the casting to prevent spring breakage or permanent deformation of the spring. Shoulder areas on the casting contact rear edges of the mounting bracket to limit upward pivoting.

Abstract: A lid dispenser includes a base adapted for fixed securement to an associated support structure. An elongated shank projects outwardly from the base and includes a proximal end connected to the base. The shank also includes a distal end that is spaced from the proximal end, and a lid holding region is located intermediate the proximal and distal ends.      The intermediate region defines a first maximum cross-sectional dimension. An enlarged member is located adjacent the distal end of the shank and defines a second maximum cross-sectional dimension greater than the first cross-sectional dimension. Accordingly, associated lids are held on the intermediate region by placement of the enlarged member into and through an aperture defined in each of the associated lids, wherein at least a portion of the aperture defines a minimal span that is less than the second maximum cross-sectional dimension of the enlarged member. The second maximum cross-sectional dimension can be adjustable.

Title: Method for the non-specific amplification of nucleic acid
Inventor: VAN GEMEN BOB
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1999-01-21
Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a method for generating, in a non specific manner, multiple copies of RNA from a pool of mRNA's. Such a method is of particular importance in techniques for screening the differences in expression in given cell types or in cells under specific conditions. The present invention provides a non-selective poly A mRNA labeling and amplification method, i.e. a method not encompassing cDNA synthesis. The present invention is directed to a method for amplifying RNA by creating, in a non specific manner, multiple RNA copies starting from nucleic acid containing starting material comprising a pool of mRNA's each mRNA comprising a poly-A  tail, wherein the material is contacted simultaneously with an oligonucleotide comprising an oligo-dT sequence, the sequence of a promoter recognized by an RNA polymerase and a transcription initiation region which is located between the oligo-dT sequence and the sequence of the promoter, and further with an enzyme having reverse transcriptase activity, an enzyme having RNase H  activity and an enzyme having RNA polymerase activity and the necessary nucleotides and the resulting reaction mixture is maintained under the appropriate conditions for a sufficient amount of time for the enzymatic processes to take place. In a preferred method of the invention the generated RNA copies made are contacted with an RNA ligase, a double stranded nucleic acid complex comprising a double stranded DNA promoter sequence that can be recognized by an RNA polymerase, whereby one strand of said complex has a stretch of RNA attached to the 5' end of one of the DNA strands, an enzyme having RNA polymerase activity, and the necessary nucleotides. The resulting reaction mixture is maintained under the appropriate conditions for a sufficient amount of time for the amplification to take place.
