Patent CA-2184007-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JAGGER THEODORE W
IPC: B65B55/02
Filed: 1995-02-27
Abstract: Apparatus for filling sterile containers is disclosed which defines an elongated but narrow sterile zone in which a number of operating stations are disposed. An elongated vertical wall is carried by an elongated frame and a cabinet type enclosure cooperates with the vertical wall to define the sterile zone. The plurality of operating stations are disposed in sequential relation over the length of the sterile zone, and an elongated container conveyor is disposed within the sterile zone to convey the containers through the plurality of operating stations. The conveyor is vertically oriented, consisting of an endless belt mounted on end wheels that rotate on horizontal axes. Each of the operating stations includes an operating portion disposed within the sterile zone. Actuating means are included for each of the operating stations as well as the elongated conveyor, each of which is disposed outside the sterile zone. Connecting means operably connect each of the actuating means outside the sterile zone through the vertical wall to the associated operating station within the sterile zone. By orienting the conveyor vertically and disposing the various actuating means outside the sterile zone in side-by-side relation, the effective width of the sterile zone is significantly reduced. As a result, the sterile zone is more easily accessed, and also more easily drained after washdown operations. In addition, the sterile zone of reduced size results in an apparatus that is much easier to manufacture and maintain in a sterile state.

Filed: 1996-11-21
Abstract: An electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) system includes both hardware and software safety detectors and monitors, and a pulse generator that generates train pulses, with user-specified parameters.  The safety detectors detect pulse characteristics including pulse width, frequency, voltage, current, treatment duration, as well as energy.  The safety monitors monitor these parameters during treatment to ensure that the system operates according to specification and does not injure the patient.  If any safety detectors detect a parameter that is out of tolerance, the safety monitor disables the pulse generator so that no further pulses are delivered to the patient.  The system includes a pre-treatment arming routine that applies a pre-treatment ECT pulse train to an internal load and monitors these same parametersto arm or disarm the system.

Title: Method of manufacture of a plastic component which is insensitive to the elements, and a plastic component so manufactured
Inventor: JAMBOIS JOHN C
IPC: B29C48/07
Filed: 1997-05-14
Abstract: A method of forming a plastic component. The method includes a first step of forming a substrate by pulling fibrous material, having been wetted out by a resin, through a first die and partially curing the composite formed so that it maintains its ultimate shape. The surfaces to be coated are treated to create free radicals (bonding sites) which are then available for bonding the acrylic compound. Thereafter, an acrylic compound is applied to the substrate to form a coating directly thereon. Application is effected by passing the partially cured and treated substrate through a crosshead extrusion die. There the substrate curing is promoted, and the acrylic compound coating is bonded directly to the substrate. The invention also includes a fiber reinforced plastic component manufactured in accordance with the method.

Title: Parity calculation for raid write cache
Inventor: DUFFY DARRELL
IPC: G06F11/10
Filed: 1996-02-14
Abstract: A method for using parity (28) and a write cache (30) for a RAID (12, 14) by adding a check code (50) for the parity data (34) itself. In addition, the time during which the parity check code (50) is unprotected is reduced by using a single loop to calculate the old parity code (72) and verify it, determine the new parity information (74) itself from the new write data, and calculate the new parity check code (76). Rather than cycle through all the parity blocks to calculate the old check code, and verify that it matches what is stored, the old check code is reconstructed block-by-block as the new parity is generated for each block in a loop. In addition, the new parity check code is constructed bit-by-bit at the same time.

Abstract: Methods for the production of radionuclides suitable for use in radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, and specifically, to the production of 186Re, 188Re and other radionuclides such as 195mPt and l38Au using an inorganic Szilard-Chalmers reaction.  Thin-film and powdered 185 or 187Re° metal targets, and 185 or 187Re oxide / metal oxide target compositions with rhenium in a lower, relatively reduced oxidation state are prepared. The thin-film rhenium targets are aged for at least about 24 hours and then irradiated with neutrons in the present of an oxidizing medium sufficient to form a product nuclide in the higher oxidized state of perrhenate, ReO4-.  Significantly, the rate and/or extent of oxidation of target nuclides which do not react with a neutron is controlled.  For example, oxidation of such non-bombarded target nuclides is minimized by irradiating under vacuum, controlling the amount of oxidizing agent present, cooling during irradiation, etc.  The product nuclide is recovered by dissolving the perrhenate in a non-oxidizing solvent such as water or saline.
