Patent CA-2411664-A1 (CA)
Title: A grounding system for rotating fixtures in electrically conductive mediums
Inventor: ANDREAE BRADLEY S
IPC: C25D17/20
Filed: 2002-11-13
Abstract: An e-coating line for small parts includes a series of load carriers, each having a rotatable shaft supporting an apertured metal barrel with parts to be treated. Electrically conductive drive chains and sprockets connect the rotatable shaft to barrel shafts to suspend the barrel from the carrier for submersion of the barrel into treating tanks including an e-coating tank. The chain/sprocket units are self cleaning and establish a reliable grounding of the barrels through the load carrier and slide rail conveyor conducting the load carriers to ground. A rack is mounted on a support secured to move with the load carriers. The rack engages a drive sprocket on the rotatable shaft. A push cylinder secured to the rack, moves the rack with the slide rail held stationary to rotate the shaft and coupled barrel. The system provides a low cost and effective grounding of the barrels and minimizes maintenance requirements and costs.

Title: Methods and compositions for transcription-based nucleic acid amplification
Inventor: KURN NURITH
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2001-06-26
Abstract: Methods for isothermal exponential amplification of a target polynucleotide are disclosed. The methods employ two transcription modules, the first modul e providing linear amplification resulting in RNA transcripts, and a second module providing for further (generally cyclical) amplification resulting in  more RNA transcripts. In one aspect, the amplification for the first module is composite primer based. In a second aspect, the amplification of the first module is based on target switching to generate a primer extension product comprising a promoter sequence. In all aspects, the RNA transcripts of the first transcription module are subjected to further amplification by creatin g an intermediate product comprising a double stranded promoter region from which transcription can occur. The invention further provides compositions a nd kits for practicing said methods, as well as methods which use the amplification results.

IPC: H01M8/06
Filed: 2002-03-06
Abstract: A micro component steam reformer system for producing hydrogen-enriched gas to power a fuel cell (68) adapted for scalable power requirements. The steam reformer system uses a cycle in which, in laminar flow modules, a vaporized hydrocarbon is mixed with fuel cell off-gas having a hydrogen component and combusted to heat vaporizers (14, 18 and 22) and a steam reformer (34).  Vaporized hydrocarbons and water vapour are introduced as a feedstock into the steam reformer (34) to produce a syn-gas, which is cooled in heat exchangers (38, 46 and 54) and purified a shift reactors (42 and 50) and in preferential oxidation reactor (60). The resulting hydrogen gas may be introduced into a hydrogen fuel cell (68). Off-gas from the fuel cell (68) is recycled to provide hydrogen and water for use in the system cycle.

Title: Controlled resorption of medical implants
Inventor: BALDWIN SAMUEL
IPC: A61F2/04
Filed: 2002-03-14
Abstract: The resorption of a medical implant can be controlled with the use of particles embedded in a resorbable bulk material forming the implant or portion thereof. The implant can be removed from a body of a mammal by natur al biological mechanisms after use. The resorption of the implant can involve swelling and/or hydrolyzing of the particles within the implant upon contact with a body fluid such that porosity and flow of fluid within the bulk material of the implant is increased. Resorption of the implant may also involve the use of particles with magnetic properties embedded within the implant such that an applied magnetic field causes the particles to vibrate within the bulk material thereby increasing the porosity and thus the flow o f fluid, hence facilitating resorption of the implant. The resorption rate of the implant can be controlled by modulating swelling, hydrolysis, or movemen t of the embedded particles.
