Patent CA-2305934-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DIMIG STEVEN J
IPC: E05B65/20
Filed: 2000-04-18
Abstract: An improved modular vehicle door lock and latch system is disclosed which includes a door latch mechanism, an inside door latch and door lock handle, and a unique outside door handle and door lock interface member, all of which are assembled into a pre-connected configuration together with all necessary control cables, thereby significantly reducing the labor required to assemble the lock and latch system of the present invention into a door of a motor vehicle and correspondingly resulting in a significant cost reduction. A first module includes the inside door handle, the outside and inside locks, the door latch, and an outside door lock and door handle interface member, as well as linkages between these components. A second component is an outside door handle assembly which will be operatively connected to the outside door lock and door handle interface member. The outside door handle of the preferred embodiment has a lock plate which installs the outside door handle in position by merely placing it into position in an opening in the vehicle door and moving the handle from its non-actuated position to its actuated position.

Title: Friction clutch and automatic transmission of automobile using the same and non-stage transmission of automobile and power distribution device of automobile and power transmissiondevice of motorcycle
Inventor: MIMURA KENJI
IPC: F16D41/061
Filed: 2000-06-14
Abstract: The present invention relates to a friction clutch in which the wear in the sliding state can be reduced and an automatic transmission of an automobile using the friction clutch and a non-stage transmission of an automobile and a power distribution device of an automobile and a power transmission device of a motorcycle. That is, according to the present invention, in a configuration of making a pair of clutch members opposite to each other in a radial direction with a plurality of rollers held between them, an angle of a turning axis of each roller relative to the rotation axis of a clutch member is made more than 10° and less than 20°, and in the meantime, the angle of the turning axis of each roller relative to the plane including the rotation axis of the clutch member is made more than 25° and less than 90°, so that a stable frictional force may be generated at all times. In this case, when a load in an axial direction is added to the clutch member, each roller generates sliding friction while turning, and therefore, a wear is extremely smaller than that of a structure of bringing the respective fellow clutch plates into surface contact with each other like a multiple disk clutch.

Patent CA-2318997-A1 (CA)
Title: Loqueteau plastique d'une seule piece
Inventor: DUBACH WERNER FRITZ
IPC: B65D47/08
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: L'invention concerne une fermeture plastique à charnière à déclic comprenant une partie inférieure (1) et un capuchon (2) reliés par une charnière à déclic (3). Cette fermeture a tendance à se fissurer sur les bords latéraux (5), ce qui est quasiment inévitable en raison de la géométrie des fermetures qui sont rondes ou ovales vues de dessus, seule la flexibilité des parois extérieures (10, 20) étant utilisée jusqu'ici. Pour remédier à ce problème, on utilise une courbure convexe (43) qui s'étend sur la charnière (3) et qui est variable en hauteur ou épaisseur de paroi. Cette courbure convexe (43) est élastique en compression au centre et en traction sur les côtés.

Title: Prognostic allergy or inflammation test
Inventor: SAMPSON HUGH A
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 1999-01-28
Abstract: One can predict the likelihood a child will outgrow an allergy, especially a food allergy, by screening for IgE antibodies immunoreactivities with linear versus conformational epitopes. The child is first screened using standard techniques to determine what antigens the child is allergic to. The immunoglobulins in the sample from the patient are then characterised either using the natural purified antigen, recombinant antigen, reduced and alkylated antigen, proteolytic fragments of the antigen or synthetic peptides of between 4 and 40 amino acids in length, which can be immobilised for rapid and accurate screening. The antibodies from the patient are reacted with the protein or peptides to determine which peptides are bound by the antibodies. These antibodies are then characterised to determine if the epitopes they bind are linear or conformational. Those patients having antibodies primarily reactive with conformational epitopes will typically outgrow their allergies. A similar method for evaluation of IgG  antibodies can be used to predict the prognosis of certain inflammatory disorders.
