Title: Microlithographic array for macromolecule and cell fractionation
Inventor: AUSTIN ROBERT H
IPC: G01N30/60
Filed: 1994-06-03
Abstract: A sorting apparatus and method for fractionating and simultaneously viewing individual microstructures, such as free cells, viruses, macromolecules or minute particles in a fluid medium. The sorting apparatus (20) is composed of a substrate (22) having a receptacle (24) located therein, the receptacle (24) having sidewalls (30, 31) and a floor (28). An array of obstacles (38) is portioned within the receptacle (24). A transparent cover (36) overlies the array of obstacles (38) to cover the receptacle and afford visual observation of the obstacles. Electrodes (40, 42) may be positioned within the receptacle (24) to generate an electric field in the fluid medium in the receptacle in order to induce the migration of the microstructures. Migration of the microstructures may also occur, for example, by hydrodymamic field, an optical field, a magnetic field, a gravity field applied to the receptacle. The obstacle of the array of obstacles may be of various shapes such as round posts, rectangular bunkers, or v-shaped or cup-shaped structures. The arrays of obstacles are formed of a predetermined and reproducible pattern, and can be reused. Methods for manufacturing and using the apparatus are also claimed

Patent CA-2174573-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HESTERMAN LARRY C
IPC: E04C2/26
Filed: 1996-04-19
Abstract: A prefabricated composite panel of the type comprising a supporting plywood board a foamed sheet of polyurethane and a covering layer on the front face of the polyurethane comprising a plurality of brick slices with an aggregate in the spaces between the brick slices which is bonded into the front face of the foam is improved in its fire retardancy by providing a plurality of vertical support metal strips on the inside face of thebrick slices at spaced positions across the width of the panel. Each metal strip includes a hanger element at the top which engages over a portion of the foam and a plurality of punched tabs each of which engages under a respective one of the brick slices. The support strips prevent sagging of the brick slices when heat is applied to the front face of the panel since that sagging can allow the heat to penetrate cracks in the covering aggregate. The fire retardancy is further improved by the addition of gypsum to the aggregate which reduces the temperature by releasing water molecules. A yet further improvement provides a reinforcing element in the form of expanded metal embedded in the foam sheet behind those ones of the brick slices which project outwardly at the sides beyond the end of the board.

Title: Method and apparatus for making a product by spinning
Inventor: MASSEE JOHAN
IPC: B21D22/16
Filed: 1996-11-08
Abstract: Method and apparatus for spinning a product, wherein a metal plate which may be preshaped or not, is deformed on a rotating chuck by a forming roller into a hollow product with a wall thickness. The shape of the chuck is determined and is stored in a memory of a control unit as a series of successive points. The control unit moves the forming roller according to a path corresponding with the shape of the chuck. This path is determined by the stored shape of the chuck with a desired wall thickness of the product added thereto. The metal plate is deformed by moving the forming roller according to the thus determined path. In each point of the stored shape of the chuck, the control unit determines a tangent line of the chuck shape at the location of this point and adds the desired wall thickness to the wall thickness at the location of this point accor-ding to a line perpendicular to the tangent line to calcu-late the path of the forming roller.

Patent CA-2193283-A1 (CA)
Title: Open metering system with super password vault access
Inventor: LEE DAVID K
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 1996-12-18
Abstract: A super password is a one time use password that is issued to a user for the singular purpose of reinitializing the user password system for a meter. When the meter is manufactured, the meter and the Data Center share secret data such that they can execute a predefined and identical algorithm for secure communication. Through such secure communications, the Data Center can authenticate a metering system, and the metering system can accept a predefined command from the Data Center securely. Counters are used as data to encrypt. One counter is used for the one way communication from the meter to the data center and counts the number of times that the meter issues a one time authentication code. Another counter is used for the one way communication from the Data Center to the meter and counts the number of times that the Data Center issues a one time super password. The counters are used for two purposes: as data to be encrypted and to confirm the delivery of secure codes between the Data Center and the meter. The use of counters in the process eliminates problems that undelivered messages would create.

Inventor: YAMAMOTO NORITAKA
IPC: G01N37/00
Filed: 1997-03-25
Abstract: A probe for a near field scanning microscope and a method for manufacturing the probe are disclosed.  A tip of the probe is sharpened and a transition portion 6 in a boundary zone between a base portion 5 and an elastic portion 4 is tapered.  The elastic portion 4 has a cross-section that is smaller than that of the base portion 5. Also, a part of the elastic portion 4 may be shaped in a constricted region to increase the elasticity of the probe. The probe material is preferably an optical fiber having a core portion 2 that propagates light therethrough and a cladding portion 3 that differ in refractive index from each other.  And the probe, except for an aperture at the tip, is coated by a metal film cladding 7.  The advantage is a more flexible probe that permits soft or delicate surfaces to be scanned without damage to the surface or the probe tip.  A further advantage is a microscope that can be used to investigate the optical characteristics as well as the surface topography of a sample.
