Patent CA-2682405-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MOHAMMAD SYED F
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2008-03-28
Abstract: The present invention is drawn to concentrated fibrinogen compositions and associate methods and use thereof. The concentrated fibrinogen compositions can be produced by adding a sufficient amount of a cationic agent, such as protamine, to a fibrinogen containing fluid to cause the fibrinogen to form a fibrinogen precipitate; collecting the fibrinogen precipitate by a collection means, such as centrifugation; and suspending or solubilizing the fibrinogen precipitate in a liquid vehicle to form a concentrated fibrinogen composition. The concentrated fibrinogen compositions can be incorporated into systems for making fibrin glues and be used in treating wounds.

Title: Flashlight
Inventor: LIU YUN-ZHAO
IPC: F21V29/70
Filed: 2009-10-08
Abstract: This invention provides a flashlight in which locating slots for constraining and fixing conductive strips are provided in a plastic housing. The conductive strips are connected with a conductive heat dissipation element of a light source body and a conductive seat at the tail portion of the plastic housing, and are turned on by the conductive seat and a smart controller such that variation of the light emitted from the light source body is controlled by the smart controller. In addition, the conductive heat dissipation element of the light source body is assembled with the front cover having heat dissipation effect so that the heat dissipation of the light source body is facilitated and hence the lifetime of the light source body is extended.

Title: Amplificateurs multiports dans des satellites de communications
Inventor: JONES DARYL RICHARD
IPC: H03F3/60
Filed: 2008-05-02
Abstract: On utilise des boucles de rétroaction dans un amplificateur multiport (MPA) de satellite de communications pour gérer un suivi de phase et d'amplitude et donc une performance d'isolation et de combinaison au niveau des bandes Ku et Ka pour lesquelles l'intérêt dans des applications MPA est accru, et dans lesquelles les longueurs d'onde sont courtes et la gestion du suivi de phase/amplitude exigent beaucoup. Les boucles de rétroaction sont situées au niveau de points stratégiques dans le réseau de sortie MPA (ONET) pour détecter des erreurs de suivi et fournir une compensation. Les erreurs sont détectées via des mesures de puissance au niveau de points zéro, une puissance zéro correspondant à un suivi précis. Les boucles de rétroaction permettent de régler les phase/gains MPA de sorte que les niveaux à ces points sont maintenus à zéro. Le mécanisme fonctionne avec un signal pilote pour mesurer les zéros injectés au niveau de l'une des entrées MPA.

Inventor: FANGET ALAIN
IPC: C08G59/62

Abstract: The invention is a process for making reinforced composites using an epoxy resin composition. The epoxy resin compositions are hardened using a gemdi(cyclohexylamine)-substituted alkane as a hardener and a tertiary amine compound, a heat-activated catalyst, or a mixture thereof as an accelerator. This epoxy resin composition has a long open time, and then cures rapidly in a mold in the presence of a reinforcement. These cure characteristics make the composition well suited for use in manufacturing processes such as resin transfer molding (RTM), vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM), Seeman Composites Resin Infusion Molding Process (SCRIMP) and reaction injection molding (RIM).

IPC: C10G33/04
Filed: 2008-11-21
Abstract: A method for the removal of dissolved water or water and ice from hydrocarbon liquids such as petroleum refinery fuels or natural gas liquids in a manner which enables the fuels to be readily treated by the coalescence/separation technique while reducing the potential for plugging filters and other equipment with ice crystals. Free water or water/ice is removed from the liquid hydrocarbons by contacting the hydrocarbon feed with a treating agent which as an affinity for water prior to subjecting the mixture to coalescence/separation. The treating agent is preferably a co-solvent for the water and the hydrocarbon such as an alcohol e.g. methanol. The treating agent and water are separated from the hydrocarbon component during the coalescence/separation and recirculated to the feed with the composition of the recycle aqueous phase being controlled to achieve the desired level of water removal to meet relevant product specifications. Consistent with the removal of the water during the coalescence/separation, the water concentration of the recycle loop containing the co-solvent/water blend gradually increases with removal of the water from the feed. This progressive increase in water level can be compensated by controlled addition of pure co-solvent to the recycle coupled with continuous or periodic dumping of excess mixture. Alternatively, the circulating mixture may be subjected to continuous or batch regeneration or disposed of in any other way which is convenient and economical.

Abstract: The purpose of this invention is to assist in the installation and removal of halogen light bulbs. The halogen bulb manufacturers state that the bulb life will be shortened by contact with the skin and the fixtures containing these bulbs, in most cases, do not afford enough room along the sides for one to get their fingers around the perimeter of the bulb.  Removal of the bulbs after they are burnt out removes the skin contact issue from the equation, but the access problem still persists. Removing burnt out bulbs before they have cooled could lead to burns to the skin, this tool will alleviate that threat.  A prototype model has been developed and used for testing its functionality. It performed well in all cases.
