Title: Discharge volume control method, discharge pressure control method, injecting apparatus, microbody forming method, discharge volume control device, and computer product
Inventor: HARADA TOHRU
IPC: G05D16/06
Filed: 2007-04-27
Abstract: A second valve is opened to combine an injection--pressure generating pressure with a maintaining pressure into an injection pressure. After the injection pressure is applied to a capillary to cause discharge of an object therefrom, an output pressure of a regulator is set to the injection pressure. Then, a first valve is opened to reapply the injection pressure to the capillary. The second valve is opened to combine a maintaining-pressure generating pressure with the injection pressure into the maintaining pressure. After the maintaining pressure is applied to the capillary to terminate the discharge of the object, the output pressure of the regulator is set to the maintaining pressure. Then, the first valve is opened to reapply the maintaining pressure to the capillary.

Title: Portable apparatus for working, shaping and polishing stone and other hard materials
Inventor: KALB ROBERT M
IPC: B23D45/02
Filed: 2004-12-09
Abstract: A wheeled trolley carries various tools across an object to be worked. A track attaches directly to the work and simultaneously isolates the tool from the work. A standard connection to the trolley readily accommodates a variety of diverse tools, using a keyway or the like to ensure accurate and repeatable placement of the tools. A preferred contouring guide allows a tool to be moved through an arc, where the focal point of the arc may be set to produce an infinite variety of custom shapes, bevels or angles of cut. An upper stop is provided which readily sets the break line between surface finish and edge contour. An adjustable tool carriage allows control over both position and force, including preloading a work tool with force. Resilience is incorporated into the apparatus to accommodate diverse hardness and abrasion characteristics, and, in at least one embodiment, to enable the track to accurately follow a warped or sagging work piece. Additional supports permit the following of a non-linear edge, and the polishing of arcs and circular objects.

Patent CA-2595638-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GYONGYOSSY-ISSA MARIA
IPC: C12N5/02
Filed: 2006-01-26
Abstract: A method for cryopreserving cells entails the liposomal delivery of intracellular sugar(s), such as trehalose, sucrose, raffinose, stachyose, and combinations thereof, into cells and tissues, such as red blood cells, for enhancing post-thaw viability. This method enables rapid and easy delivery of protective molecules into cells which thus greatly simplifies the preparation of cells for cryopreservation. Furthermore, as much lower concentrations of intracellular protectant are used, the method allows red blood cells containing the liposomally-delivered intracellular sugar to be transfused into a patient immediately following the thaw without having to first remove any of the cryoprotectant sugar.

Title: Barre de redressement et de soutien
Inventor: GELINAS REJEAN
IPC: E04G5/00
Filed: 2007-09-19
Abstract: Le but de cette invention est une barre de redressement pour retenir différents matériaux avec force et sécurité. Aucun appui au sol n'est nécessaire et la vitesse d'exécution sont deux parmis les facteurs les plus avantageux de ce système. Aucune limite de hauteur ne peut être envisagé, vu que ce système peut s'installer sur des échafauds télescopiques fixes ou sur roues. Aussi, le système peut s'installer sur des échelles et des escabeaux. Ce principe lorsqu'il est mis en action en montant la pièce de bois (2" X 4") vers le haut, se bloque automatiquement dû aux pentures, au ressort, au caoutchouc anti-dérapant ou aux grippes qui se place en fonction de retenu. Nous sommes persuadés que ce système va révolutionner le domaine de la construction ou autres métiers.

Title: Loading control methods and apparatus for wireless access points of wireless local area networks in support of legacy terminals
Inventor: KEZYS VYTAUTAS ROBERTAS
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2008-01-30
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for use in controlling the loading of wireless access points (APs) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) in support of legacy terminals are disclosed. The WLAN has at least a first AP and a second wireless AP adjacent the first wireless AP. An indication which indicates whether a loading of the second wireless AP  is greater than a predetermined threshold is identified. When the indication indicates that the loading is greater than the predetermined threshold, a first nominal radio frequency (RF) transmission power of the first wireless AP is increased in order to increase a first RF  coverage area of the first wireless AP. A second nominal RF transmission power of the second wireless AP is correspondingly reduced in order to reduce a second RF  coverage area of the second wireless AP. In response, some of the mobile communication devices initially operating with the second wireless AP are switched to operate with the first wireless AP in order to reduce the loading of the second wireless AP. The techniques may be embodied in a centralized approach where transmission control equipment of the WLAN controls each wireless APs in this manner, or alternatively in a distributed non--centralized approach where each wireless AP acts independently and autonomously in the same or similar manner. Preferably, the techniques do not require the functional requirements of mobile devices to modified and therefore are suitable for use with existing legacy devices.
