Abstract: A panelling system preferably for floors is defined by a series of panels each formed of a plurality of tongue and groove main floor plank strips arranged side edge to side edge and cut to a common length with a tongue along one cut edge and a groove along the other. At the edges are attached edge strips formed also from the flooring planks with tongue and groove and fastened together to form a common panel member for transportation and installation. The outwardly facing edge has a tongue or groove for mating with a groove or tongue of a next adjacent panel. The strips are fastened by pins or corrugated plates from the rear or by a bonded sheet material on the rear. The strips may include tongue and groove joints of the snap fastening type where the connection of each strip to the next in the assembled panel can be simply by way of an adhesive tape over the rear surface of the joint.

Title: High resolution radio frequency medical imaging and therapy system
Inventor: ZWIRN GIL
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2006-08-03
Abstract: A method for imaging includes directing a plurality of radio frequency (RF) beams (206, 207) toward a target organ from a plurality of angles. The RF  beams include one or more first pairs of the RF beams, each first pair including two of the RF beams that impinge on the target organ from opposite directions. RF signals reflected from the target organ are received responsively to the RF beams, the RF signals including one or more second pairs of the RF signals engendered respectively by the one or more first pairs of the RF beams. Local tissue parameters at multiple points in the target organ are extracted by jointly processing the RF signals in each of the second pairs. Images of the target organ are produced using the extracted local tissue parameters. Other embodiments described herein include methods for passive imaging, motion vector analysis, ablation, local heating and application of electromagnetic pressure.

Abstract: A U-shaped connector (10) for connecting together abutting or adjoining timber elements includes a stem portion extending between two kinked spike portions (14,16) with each spike portion (14,16) extending in a common direction from the stem portion. Each kinked spike portion (14,16) is comprised of four straight portions (15,18,20,22 and 17,19,21,23) of equal length joined end-to-end, with each straight portion extending at an angle to its adjacent portion. Distal ends (24,25) of each tip portion (22,23) are sharpened and splayed wider than the stem portion. On installation, the flexibility of connector (10) is sufficient to provide a compressive force to the abutting faces of the timbers being joined with the kinked spike portions (14,16) moving outwards away from each other so as to increase the connector's pull out resistance.
Patent CA-2618372-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CALABRESE RAFAEL JANUARIO
IPC: A23K1/10
Filed: 2006-09-26
Abstract: It has now been discovered that impregnated calcium, preferably precipitated calcium carbonate, may advantageously replace titanium dioxide as a whitening agent for rawhide chew products. Calcium has several desirable properties as a whitening agent compared to titanium dioxide including: 1) readily commercially available forms of calcium are already food grade and do not incur any additional effort to remove harmful impurities; 2) calcium provides nutritive value while titanium dioxide does not; 3) calcium has mild abrasive qualities thereby aiding dental hygiene. Rather than a mere coating, the present invention provides for a chew product which is impregnated with calcium. Therefore the desirable properties imparted by calcium are prolonged because calcium which is impregnated beneath the rawhide surface is not easily removed compared with calcium which is merely coated on the rawhide surface.

IPC: B21D3/12
Filed: 2008-02-06
Abstract: A metal strip is stretched as it is moved longitudinally generally continuously between an upstream traction-roll set and a downstream traction-roll set. The roll sets are differentially driven - with the downstream set moving at a slightly higher peripheral speed than the upstream set - so as to apply to the strip in a region between the sets a tension generally equal to a stretch limit of the strip. The strip is locally heated or cooled at an upstream location in the region between the roll sets so as to set in the strip in the region a temperature distribution that is nonhomogeneous transversely across the strip at least immediately downstream of the upstream location.

Title: Method of quickly detecting antigen using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy or fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy
Inventor: SAITO KENTA
IPC: G01N21/78
Filed: 2006-09-08
Abstract: In detecting an antigen by using the fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) or the fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy (FCCS), it is intended to provide a method of quickly detecting the concentration of an arbitrary antigen in an antigen sample without resorting to stepwise examination on the concentration ratio of a detection reagent to the antigen to be detected, particularly in the case where the antigen concentration in the sample is unknown. A method of detecting an antigen by FCS or FCCS with the use of a fluorescent labeled complete antibody targeting an epitope of the antigen to be detected or a fluorescent labeled antibody fragment, which has been fluorescent labeled, and a non- fluorescent labeled complete antibody targeting another epitope of the above-described antigen or a fluorescent labeled complete antibody or a fluorescent labeled antibody fragment, which has been fluorescent labeled, as detection reagents, which comprises preparing a system (1) to which the detection reagents are exclusively added and another system (2) to which an antigen enabling the achievement of the maximum concentration of a trimer and the detection reagents are added, conducting fluorescent analysis, and then quickly detecting the presence or absence of the antigen in the sample based on the presence or absence of a trimer detection signal from a detector in the cases (1) and (2).

IPC: G06F21/44
Filed: 2005-08-09
Abstract: A sending device prepares a key for each electronic message sent by the device by applying an algorithm to specified data in the message and then incorporates the key in the message. A receiving device, upon receipt of an electronic message, locates the incorporated key and the data from which a sending device practicing the invention would have prepared it. The receiving device communicates a confirmation request to the purported sending device which contains the key and the data for its preparation. The sending device receives the confirmation messages and prepares a comparison key by applying the algorithm to the data in the confirmation request. The sending device replies to the confirmation request confirming that the sending device sent the message if the comparison key matches the key in the confirmation request and otherwise responds with a denial.
