Patent CA-2700268-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BUIJVOETS JOHANNES GERHARDUS JOSEPH
IPC: F16L1/20
Filed: 2008-09-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and means to wind a pipeline in a spiral and thus prepare for storage or for transport to another location, while this pipeline is floating in circles next to each other (as a large spiral) in the water. The considered method only contains the part of laying the pipeline in a spiral in such a way that the spiralling is reproducible and the spiral keeps its round form during its the floating lifetime. After the spiral is unwound the pipeline will come back in its original form. The spiralling starts from a straight stretch of pipeline that will be wound around a central point where anchor lines and centre lines are part of the construction to produce the first winding. When the first winding is prepared it will be kept in place by only centre lines. Steel pipeline is very well to bend when it is in its area of elastic strain. It is possible to calculate at which radius a steel pipeline can be bend, without crossing the boundaries of elasticity. Certainly when one takes the large diameter of the floating circles in consideration the pipeline doesn't come under plastic strain and as a result, it will not deform permanently.

IPC: A62C2/00
Filed: 2010-05-10
Abstract: A dynamic water shield fire protection system and method is provided for continuously wetting roof and both external and internal wall surfaces of a building with running thin water films for protecting against an impending fire. Unlike conventional sprinkler systems in which water is sprinkled, in the present invention, specially designed nozzles with flat outlets spread flattened water flows at close range directly on the surfaces to protect against fire.  Protected from wind, water flowing from adjacent individual nozzles merges into a uniform water film acting as a water shield to protect the surfaces from an impending fire. A drain assembly is installed longitudinally along the bottom of each water protected surface to collect the water running down, enabling water evacuation or recycling. Thus, a fire protection system is provided to protect a building from both exterior and interior impending fire.

Title: Mn/ca ix-antibody binding specifically to non-immunodominant epitope of mn/ca ix and uses thereof
Inventor: PASTOREK JAROMIR
IPC: G01B3/10
Filed: 2003-02-21
Abstract: Disclosed herein is the discovery of a soluble MN/CA IX (s-CA IX) in body fluids, such as, urine and serum. Said s-CA IX comprises the extracellular domain of CA IX or portions thereof. The predominant s-CA IX species is the extracellular domain comprising a proteoglycan-like (PG) domain and carbonic anhydrase (CA) domain, and having a molecular weight of about 50/54 kilodaltons (kd) upon Western blot. A smaller s-CA IX form of about 20 to about 30 kd comprising the CA domain or parts thereof, not linked to the PG domain, has also been found in body fluids. Diagnostic/prognostic methods for precancer and cancer that detect or detect and quantitate said s-CA IX in body fluids, are described. Also disclosed herein is the coexpression of CA IX and HER-2/neu/c-erbB-2 that provides parallel, alternative and potentially synergistic diagnostic/prognostic and therapeutic strategies for precancer and cancer. Further disclosed are new MN/CA IX-specific antibodies generated from MN/CA IX-deficient mice, preferably monoclonal antibodies and immunoreactive fragments and engineered variants thereof. Such new MN/CA IX-specific antibodies, fragments and variants are useful diagnostically/prognostically and therapeutically for cancer and precancer. Particularly preferred are the new monoclonal antibodies, fragments and variants that are specific for the non- immunodominant epitopes of MN/CA IX, which antibodies are, among other uses, useful to detect soluble MN/CA IX (s-CA IX) in body fluids, alone but preferably in combination with antibodies specific to the immunodiminant epitopes of MN/CA IX, for example, in a sandwich assay.

Title: Tablet-dispenser
Inventor: DILL FRITZ
IPC: B65D83/04
Filed: 2008-11-07
Abstract: What is proposed is a dispensing device for dispensing tablets belonging to a stack of tablets separately. There is arranged, in a casing (100), a conveying element (200) which can be moved to and fro, in relation to said casing, between a dispensing position and a conveying position.  The dispensing device also comprises holding means, in particular a lift element (300), which cause the stack of tablets to be kept stationary when a movement of the conveying element, relative to the casing, from the dispensing position into the conveying position occurs, and which cause said stack of tablets to be entrained towards the removing aperture by the conveying element when said conveying element returns to the dispensing position. In this way, the stack of tablets is conveyed in the direction of conveyance by a predetermined amount, particularly by the thickness of a single tablet, when a forward-and-backward movement of the conveying element occurs, and said single tablet can be easily removed.

Abstract: A method of estimating sepsis risk in an individual with infection comprises a step of assaying a biological sample from the individual for an IL-2 or IL-7 mRNA value, and correlating the mRNA  value with sepsis risk. The IL-2 and IL-7 mRNA values are quantified by absolute quantification of mRNA copy number, wherein the copy numbers are normalised to a house keeping gene and corrected against a calibration curve for serial dilutions of the IL-2 and IL-7 cDNA. The method generally involves a step of assaying a biological sample from the individual for IL-2 and/or IL-7 mRNA values, optionally in combination with mRNA values for other cytokines, and correlating a sum or difference of the values with sepsis risk using a regression analysis curve against outcome.
