Patent CA-2370372-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROOF MIKE
IPC: C12N7/04
Filed: 2000-04-21
Abstract: Substantially avirulent forms of atypical porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus and corresponding vaccines are provided which result from cell culture passaging of virulent forms of PRRS.  The resultant avirulent atypical PRRS virus is useful as a vaccine in that PRRS specific antibody response is elicited by inoculation of host animals, thereby conferring effective immunity against both previously known strains of PRRS virus and newly isolated atypical PRRS  virus strains. The preferred passaging technique ensures that the virus remains in a logarithmic growth phase substantially throughout the process, which minimizes the time required to achieve attenuation.

IPC: G01N1/20
Filed: 2000-11-17
Abstract: Testing procedures for milking animals whereby a milk flow has a sample flow diverted therefrom which is then tested for somatic cell count indicative of mastitis. Such testing of the diverted flow is automatic and involves a measure of viscosity change in the sample after the addition of an anionic detergent which causes gelling to an extent determined by the somatic cell count. As a consequence calibratable data from each milking animal can be generated and used as a comparative tool between animals and/or to monitor changes in the somatic cell count (SCC) of individual animals between milkings.

IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 2000-12-13
Abstract: An interferometer comprising a beam source (PM, M1, L1) of first and second light beams. The interferometer has a first arm that routes the first light beam via a first pair of mirrors (M4, M5) arranged at right angles to each other in the manner of a corner cube to reverse the direction of the first light beam and a second arm that routes the second light beam via a second pair of mirrors (M2, M3). The beam source (PM, M1, L1) and the second mirror pair (M2, M3) are mounted on a linear translation stage (P1). The first and second light beams are incident on a focusing element (L2) symmetrically about and parallel to its optical axis and then converge at an angle (.phi.) to form an interference pattern. The symmetric, balanced configuration of the interferometer is retained under motion of the positioning element, which varies the separation (d) of the first and second light beams on the focusing element. Proximity problems, such as contamination, which result from the use of phase masks in contact mode are avoided. More generally, the interferometer provides a flexible source for large-area, non-focused interference patterns of tuneable period.
