Patent CA-2243740-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHUNG KENNY
IPC: A45D40/00
Filed: 1998-07-20
Abstract: This invention provides a self humidifying case which comprises a base for receiving a stick-type product, a hollow cap formed with an outer wall fitting over the base, and a volatile solvent-absorbing material secured within the case and soaked with a volatile solvent. This volatile solvent used is the same as that which is employed within the composition of the volatile-solvent containing product. The volatile solvent contained in the product and the solvent-absorbing material evaporates, thereby saturating the inner chamber of the case with the volatile solvent in vapor form. This saturation aids in preventing the volatile from escaping from the stick-type product by creating an equilibrium within the cases' interior chamber.

Patent CA-2249874-A1 (CA)
Title: Apparatus, system and method for removing parts from a mold
Inventor: KRESAK PAUL FEDOR
IPC: B29C45/43
Filed: 1998-10-08
Abstract: Lightweight part retention apparatus is arranged on a removal tool plate. A low pressure air supply is supplied to the apparatus to induce an area of reduced pressure in a channel formed in a passage therein, the reduced pressure being formed by a jet pump action within the channel. The reduced pressure draws a part to be removed from a mold or the like into the apparatus and retains it therein until a separate device removes it and/or the air supply is interrupted. Due to the relatively low mass of the retention apparatus, the tool plate and retention apparatus, with the molded part retained therein, can then be rapidly withdrawn from the open mold to permit early closing of the mold so that a new molding cycle may begin.

Patent CA-2273616-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WINZELER ELIZABETH
IPC: C12Q1/6837
Filed: 1999-06-02
Abstract: Parallel hybridization analysis is used to detection and analyze allelic variation between two closely related genomic nucleic acid samples. Nucleic acid samples from both sources are cleaved to generate short fragments. The fragments are end-labeled, and then hybridized to a high density oligonucleotide array. Hybridization patterns for the two samples are detected, normalized and compared. Those positions on the array that correspond to sequences with allelic variation between the two samples show decreased hybridization efficiency for one of the samples relative to the other. A map of allelic variation can be generated with this information, and used for genetic linkage analysis, determination of chromosomal regions having low diversity or high diversity, forensic studies, etc.

Title: Vehicle bed
Inventor: JURICA JOSEPH J
IPC: B62D65/00
Filed: 1998-01-09
Abstract: A vehicle bed assembly, and process of manufacture, which involves formation of a one-piece floor pan (31) by roll forming. The floor pan has a central pan portion (47) and secondary portions (48, 49) positioned forwardly and rearwardly of wheelwell openings (41) formed in the pan adjacent opposite side edges thereof. Strengthening ribs extend longitudinally throughout the entire length of the pan and terminate at the front and rear edges (36, 37). The strengthening ribs also extend longitudinally of the secondary portions and terminate at the front and rear edges (43, 44) of the wheelwell openings (41).  The one-piece floor pan has the wheelwell openings formed therein, as by a controlled notching operation, after the pan has been roll formed from flat sheet material, and the notching operation provides a series of flanges around the periphery of the wheelwell opening, both along the longitudinal inner edge (42) and on the front and rear edges (43, 44). Some of the flanges are coplanar with top walls of the stiffening ribs, and others are coplanar with the base wall of the pan between the stiffening ribs. The roll-formed pan is subjected to a subsequent forming operation which causes the flanges to be wiped downwardly generally into a perpendicular relationship so that the flanges are positionable in overlapping relationship to the vehicle inner side wall or wheelwell housing for securement thereto, such as by welding.

Title: Actionneurs therapeutiques micro-usines
Inventor: KRULEVITCH PETER A
IPC: A61M25/16
Filed: 1998-02-27
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à des actionneurs thérapeutiques micro-usinés, fabriqués à partir d'un polymère à mémoire de forme (SMPshape memory polymer), un polyuréthanne qui subit une transformation de phase à une température donnée (Tg). A des températures supérieures à cette température Tg, la matière est souple et on peut facilement lui donner une autre forme. Lorsque la température décroît en dessous de la température Tg, la nouvelle forme est fixée et bloquée tant que la température reste inférieure à la température Tg. Puis si l'on chauffe ladite matière jusqu'à une température supérieure à Tg, la matière reprend sa forme d'origine. L'utilisation de cette matière SMP pour la fabrication d'un micro-tube permet d'utiliser ce dernier en tant qu'actionneur de libération pour l'introduction de serpentins (11) anti-embolie à l'intérieur d'anévrismes, par l'intermédiaire de cathéters (10). Le micro-tube (10) peut être fabriqué suivant diverses dimensions et la température de changement de phase Tg est définie en fonction d'une cible de température particulière et d'une utilisation particulière.

Filed: 1998-02-25
Abstract: A process for recovering a polyphosphazene polyacid or acid salt obtained by hydrolyzing a polyphosphazene having at least one ester moiety present in at least one substituent group. The polyphosphazene having at least one ester moiety present in at least one substituent group is hydrolyzed with a base in an organic solvent in the presence of water. The water is present in an amount effective to induce the agglomeration of particles of the synthesized polyphosphazene polyacid or acid salt, which enhances the separation of the polyphosphazene polyacid or acid salt from a polymer-free liquid organic phase. The polymer-free liquid organic phase then is separated from the polyphosphazene acid or acid salt, whereby the polyphosphazene acid or acid salt is recovered.
