Title: Deck beam and support rail
Inventor: PETELKA BRIAN W
IPC: B60P1/00
Filed: 2003-12-17
Abstract: There is provided an improved decking assembly including a deck beam and support rail for use in supporting items such as freight in containers, particularly for the purpose of shipping as for example in a highway van trailer. The assembly comprises a pair of elongated tracks, a decking support carriage for each track, and locking means secured to the carriage. The pair of elongated tracks is vertically oriented in opposing relationship to one another. The tracks each have a top surface and a bottom surface, and the top surface has a pair of spaced, inverted, V-shaped grooves with constricted openings, running longitudinally. Each decking support carriage has an outer surface and an inner surface, and spaced, opposing pairs of legs outwardly extending from the inner surface. The pairs of legs form complementary, inverted V-shapes to matingly engage within the grooves on the tracks for secure, guided, sliding movement within the tracks. The locking means is secured to said carriage and is adapted to substantially prevent sliding of said carriage in said track when engaged.

Title: Propagation of human hepatoblastoma cell in non-human animals
Inventor: WU CATHERINE H
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2002-08-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to a model system for hepatitis C virus infection in humans. The model system is a non-human animal that is rendered immunologically tolerant to human hepatoblastoma cells and subsequently transplanted with the human hepatoblastoma cells. The invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery that ordents, tolerized in utero against human hepatoblastoma cells, were found to serve as long-term hosts for human hepatoblastoma cells introduced postnatally, and the introduced hepatoblastoma cells maintained a differentiated phenotype. Thus, the resulting chimeric animal is susceptible to hepatitis C infection and the infection results in the production of newly formed virions. Furthermore, this in vivo model system of the human liver can be used to identify and characterize HCV receptors.

Said mask is isotropically underetched to remove wafer material. An anisotropic etch forms a protruding structure. Optionally a second isotropic etch on said protruding structure exposes the blind hole. Optionally a final anisotropic etch extends the needle without forming side openings. The position and extension of the mask relative the position and dimension of the hole is such that said side openings form during either said anisotropic etc or said second isotropic etch.

Patent CA-2467188-A1 (CA)
Title: Internal cooled gas turbine vane or blade
Inventor: MORRIS MARK C
IPC: F01D5/18
Filed: 2002-11-12
Abstract: A robust multiple-walled, multi-pass, high cooling effectiveness cooled turbine vane or blade designed for ease of manufacturability, minimizes cooling flows on highly loaded turbine rotors. The inventive vane or blade design allows the turbine inlet temperature to increase over current technology levels while simultaneously reducing turbine cooling to low levels.  The invention comprises a complex multi-wall cooling system, which meets the inherent conflict to maximize the flow area of the cooling passages while retaining the required section thickness to meet the structural requirements.  independent cooling circuits for the vane or blade's pressure and suction surfaces allow the cooling of the airfoil surfaces to be tailored to specific head load distributions (that is the suction surface is an independent rearward flowing serpentine). The cooling air for the independent circuits is supplied through separate passages at the base of the vane or blade. The cooling air follows extremely intricate passages to feed the serpentine thin outer wall passages, which incorporate pin fins, turbulators, etc. These passages, while satisfying the aero/thermal/stress requirements, are of a manufacturing configuration that may be cast with single crystal materials using conventional casting techniques.

Title: Extraction and winterization of lipids from oilseed and microbial sources
Inventor: DUEPPEN DANIEL G
IPC: C07C57/03
Filed: 2002-12-12
Abstract: A process for purifying a lipid composition having predominantly neutral lipid components having at least one long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid is disclosed. The process employs contacting the lipid composition with a polar solvent, such as acetone, wherein the solvent is selected such that the contaminants are less soluble in the solvent than in the long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid. The process is typically conducted at cooler temperatures including about 0 ~C. Upon precipitation of the contaminants from the lipid composition, a separation is conducted to remove the precipitated material from the lipid composition. The long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids can include ARA, DPA, EPA and/or DHA. The process effectively winterizes lipid compositions, thereby reducing the tendency of such compositions to become hazy.
