Abstract: L'invention concerne des formules d'alcools mixtes qui peuvent être utilisées comme additifs combustibles dans l'essence, le gazole, le carburéacteur, l'essence aviation, le mazout domestique, le combustible de soute, le charbon, le coke de pétrole, ou comme carburant pur en soi. Les formulations d'alcools mixtes de l'invention peuvent contenir des alcools Cl-C5 ou, dans un autre mode de réalisation, des alcools C1-C8 ou des alcools C1-Cl0 supérieurs afin d'augmenter la teneur en énergie. Les alcools mixtes C1-C5 contiennent plus d'éthanol que de méthanol, avec des quantités qui vont en diminuant de propanol, butanol et pentanol.Les alcools mixtes C1-C8 contiennent les mêmes éléments, avec des quantités qui vont en diminuant d'hexanol, d'heptanol et d'octanol. Les alcools mixtes C1-C10 contiennent les mêmes éléments, avec des quantités qui vont en diminuant de nananol et de décanol. Les formules d'alcool mixtes synthétiques possèdent un nombre d'octanes et une densité en énergie supérieurs au MTBE ou à l'éthanol à base de grains fermentés, des caractéristiques de mélange à la pression de vapeur Reid plus stables, et des effets de solubilisation augmentés sur l'eau condensée. Les alcools mixtes présentent comme avantages principaux une efficacité de combustion augmentée, des profils d'émissions réduits et de faibles coûts de production.

Title: Adjustable ratchet wrench
Inventor: KINSKEY TERRY
IPC: B25B13/46
Filed: 2006-03-02
Abstract: An adjustable ratchet head assembly has first and second jaw members that are connected using a pinion shaft and a cogwheel shaft. The pinion shaft has oppositely threaded end portions that engage oppositely threaded pinion shaft receiving bores in a central section of each jaw member. The cogwheel shaft has oppositely threaded end portions that engage oppositely threaded cogwheel shaft receiving bores in a proximate end of each jaw member. A pinion gear is concentric with and engages the pinion shaft. A cogwheel gear is concentric with and engages the cogwheel shaft, and is in driving engagement with the pinion gear. Driving the cogwheel gear will cause rotation of the cogwheel shaft, pinion gear and pinion shaft, and will cause the jaw members to move toward or away from each other. The ratchet head assembly is received in a cylindrical ratchet head body, which is received in a handle assembly.

Title: Method for transiting a metal conductor into a superconducting state
Inventor: MARKOV GENNADIJ ALEXANDROVICH
IPC: C22F1/00
Filed: 2004-03-15
Abstract: The invention relates to engineering, in particular to superconducting materials and to methods for processing said materials. The inventive method for transiting a metal conductor into a superconducting state consists in plastically deforming a conductor by a wire single-spiral winding or by coiling wires into a spiral, in bringing a dislocation density to a value equal to or greater than 1.108 cm-2 by deformation and in successively increasing said dislocation density of the conductor to a value ranging from 1.1012-1.1015 cm-2. A metal conductor can be prewound around the longitudinal axis thereof and afterwards coiled into a single-spiral. The winding of two wires into a spiral is carried out at an angle of turn inclination to the longitudinal axis thereof ranging from 20 to 58~. Each wire can be also prewound around the axis thereof. Heat-treatment is carried out by means of any known method at a temperature which is less than a metal melting point.  Said heat treatment can be carried out simultaneously with a current passage through the spiral. Said invention makes it possible to obtain a such dislocation density in a metal conductor which is required for the transition thereof into a superconducting state and which can not be attained by plastic deformation.

IPC: G06F15/16
Filed: 2006-05-03
Abstract: A method and system for providing rules-based or algorithms based automated response optimization in the email-marketing environment such that recipient responses during the delivery process of an email campaign influence the delivery parameters and/or message elements of the portions of the campaign yet to be mailed. Responses to an email marketing campaign determine its marketing effectiveness and include delivery statistics, undeliverable statistics, opens, link-clicks, replies, opt-outs, and conversion events.  Conversion events are recipient actions that are intended results from the marketing campaign and include marketing or service transactions that are completed online (e.g. purchases, registrations, filling out surveys, etc) and/or offline (e.g. brand awareness, store visits etc.). The system monitors emails as they are being received by recipients during delivery and, based on rules established by the marketer or on default rules established by the system using algorithms, tracks designated response statistics and dynamically alters the email elements, such as subject line and/or other content, including clickable links so that messages that produce the most desirable response statistics is sent to a greater percentage of the remaining recipients. Rather than completing the entire emailing operation using the same content throughout, this invention allows for changing the content for emails remaining to be sent so that the more effective content (in terms of stimulating favorable recipient reactions and purchases) is delivered to as many of the recipients as possible. Additionally, the process may be applied between separately mailed campaigns so that the delivery parameters for subsequent campaigns in a "campaign stream" are automatically modified based on the results of the prior campaigns in the stream and on the rules being applied to the stream.
Patent CA-2608505-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TSAPIS NICOLAS
IPC: A61K9/16
Filed: 2006-05-18
Abstract: Orally administrable, site-specific (colonic), particulate delivery systems including adsorbents are disclosed. When delivered specifically to the colon, they can remove various substances present in, or as they reach, the colon.  Methods of treatment using the delivery systems, and methods of preparing the delivery systems, are also disclosed. The particulate delivery systems are based on adsorbent matrices encapsulated into and/or onto particles, which selectively deliver the adsorbents to the colon. Representative drug delivery devices include pectin beads, which can optionally be crosslinked with metal ions such as zinc and/or calcium. The delivery system protects the adsorbent and prevents its adsorbing effect in the upper gastro-intestinal (GI) tract.  When the particles are made from pectin, and the beads are administered to the colon, specific pectinolytic enzymes in the colon degrade the pectin, allowing the adsorbent to be released and to be fully active. Antibiotics, toxins, and other absorbable substances present in the colon will then be inactivated by adsorption into or onto the adsorbent.

Title: Methods for modulating osteochondral development using pulsed electromagnetic field therapy
Inventor: GORDON STEPHEN L
IPC: C12N5/0775
Filed: 2006-05-30
Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for modulating the growth, development and repair of bone, cartilage or other connective tissue. Devices and stimulus waveforms are provided to differentially modulate the behavior of osteoblasts, chondrocytes and other connective tissue cells to promote proliferation, differentiation, matrix formation or mineralization for in vitro or in vivo applications. Continuous-mode and pulse-burst-mode stimulation of cells with charge-balanced signals may be used. Bone, cartilage and other connective tissue growth is stimulated in part by nitric oxide release through electrical stimulation and may be modulated through co-administration of NO donors and NO  synthase inhibitors. Bone, cartilage and other connective tissue growth is stimulated in part by release of BMP-2 and BMP-7 in response to electrical stimulation to promote differentiation of cells. The methods and devices described are useful in promoting repair of bone fractures, cartilage and connective tissue repair as well as for engineering tissue for transplantation.
