Patent CA-2436987-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WEISMAN STEVE MILLER
IPC: F01P7/04
Filed: 2001-10-26
Abstract: L'invention concerne plusieurs stratégies et techniques de commande d'un ventilateur à vitesse variable dans un moteur à combustion interne. Ces diverses techniques de commande réduisent la consommation de carburant en activant le ventilateur à une vitesse suffisante pour refroidir le moteur, tout en évitant des vitesses inutilement élevées qui ne favorisent pas l'économie de carburant. En outre, en cas de démarrage à froid, le ventilateur peut être complètement désactivé afin d'éviter un surrefroidissement, notamment dans un moteur utilisant un système de refroidissement d'air comprimé d'admission.

Title: Methods for the treatment of carcinoma
Inventor: PEALE FRANKLIN V JR
IPC: C12P21/08
Filed: 2002-10-16
Abstract: The invention concerns compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based upon the identification of genes that are amplified in the genome of tumor cells, such as renal cell carcinoma. Such gene amplification is expected to be associated with the overexpression of t he gene product as compared to normal cells of the same tissue type and contribute to tumorigenesis. Accordingly, the proteins encoded by the amplified genes are believed to be useful targets for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain cancers, such as renal cell carcinoma, and may act as predictors of the prognosis of tumor treatment. Th e present invention is directed to novel methods of diagnosing and treating tumor, such as renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides a steam generation apparatus that is liquid fuel fired and addresses conversion of gaseous fuel SIB units to operate with liquid fuel. The invention also relates to a conversion unit for a steam injection boiler, a method for converting a steam injection boiler from gas firing to possible liquid fuel firing and a method for generating steam from a liquid fuel source. The invention employs a fired heater for heating the liquid fuel to a temperature suitable for firing and preheats the water to compensate for the shortfall in heat liberation when a gas boiler is converted to use liquid fuel. In another aspect of the invention, production of steam is achievable consistently by employing step-up heaters with a steam injection boiler. The heaters being connected in parallel to continue heating the water/steam to achieve a higher quality steam over that produced in the boiler while minimizing consideration as to the adverse effects of coil fouling in the boiler.

Title: Mousse polypropylene et structure a ame en mousse
Inventor: BECKWITH ROBERT W
IPC: C08J9/12
Filed: 2003-03-07
Abstract: Selon l'invention, une ou plusieurs surfaces extérieures d'une mousse extrudée sont revêtues par co-extrusion d'une peau de polymère sur la surface de manière à réduire la diffusion de gaz de moussage hors des alvéoles de la mousse polymère de solidification. L'effet d'étanchéité peut impliquer de revêtir un côté de la mousse extrudée (forme AB) ou les deux côtés (forme ABA). Les peaux peuvent être solides ou en mousse. En variante, un cylindre est formé à partir d'une filière annulaire et, de préférence, d'un mandrin cylindrique de refroidissement. Les propriétés physiques optimales de la structure peuvent être obtenues par extrusion et étirage du cylindre de mousse sur un mandrin cylindrique refroidi qui étend le diamètre du cylindre. Ceci s'explique par l'étirement de la structure de mousse dans les sens longitudinal et latéral. De préférence, le polymère de moussage présente une résistance à la fusion intrinsèque et un durcissement par écrouissage de façon que les alvéoles présentent une taille et une forme plus consistantes. Les polymères préférés sont le polypropylène ou le polystyrène.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une substance cristalline suffisamment pure pour être utilisée dans des médicaments que l'on obtient par la formation d'une solution saturée de la substance, par la modification de la température de la solution de manière à la rendre super-saturée, et par l'émission brève d'ultrasons à forte intensité sur la solution, précédant le refroidissement progressif de la solution sans rayonnement. L'ultrason peut être appliqué à l'aide d'un récipient doté d'un réseau de transducteurs ultrasonores fixés à une paroi, de manière que chaque transducteur n'envoie pas plus de 3 W/cm?2¿, la dissipation de puissance du récipient étant comprise entre environ 25 et 150 W/litre. Ce procédé permet de réduire la largeur de zone métastable à moins de 10 K. La paroi ne subit aucune érosion et il n'y a, de ce fait, pas de formation de petites particules métalliques. L'invention trouve une application, par exemple, avec l'aspartame et les acides aminés.
