Title: Pivotable panel for clothes dryer drum
Inventor: PARADIS ANDRE
IPC: D06F58/04
Filed: 1995-06-05
Abstract: A panel assembly for use inside the rotatable drum of a clothes dryer for drying plastic containing clothes.  The panel assembly comprises: (a)  a perforated panel having a plurality of bores, this panel being of a size adapted to conform to the shape of a peripheral sector portion of the drum;   (b) polytetrafluoroethylene coating the perforated panel for preventing the lint, dust, and plastic parts of the clothes from accidentally sticking to the panel and from clogging the panel bores; (c)  a piano hinge, for edgewisely mounting the panel to the interior wall of the drum sector portion for relative movement of the panel between a closed position, in which the panel generally conforms to the drum sector portion spacedly therefrom, and an open position, in which the panel extends transversely to the drum sector portion interiorly thereof. The panel is releasably locked at its closed position by screws extending through the drum wall and through a panel flange located opposite the piano hinge.  Accordingly, when the clothes dryer is in operation, the perforated panel is at a lower temperature than the rotating drum wall, thus reducing the likelihood of heat fusing of the clothes plastic parts against the perforated panel.
Patent CA-2151250-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FROMMANN KLAUS
IPC: H02K44/06
Filed: 1993-10-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a process and a device for coating the surface of strip material, especially non-ferrous metal and steel strip, with a metal coating, wherein the material is conducted without reversal of direction through a container holding the molten coating material, which has a passage duct below the level of the melting bath, in which induction currents are induced by an electromagnetic travelling field and produce, in interaction with the electromagnetic travelling field, an electromagnetic force for restraining the coating material. In order to achieve a killing of the melt in the passage duct as well as in the container, and in order to be able to attain, to a large extent, a counterbalance between hydrostatic and electromagnetic forces, it is proposed that a constant direct or alternating current field be directed opposite to the travelling field in the area near the container, damping the movement in the coating material. For this purpose, an additional iron core (3), which has coils (4) running parallel to the inductor coils (2) and can be subjected to direct or alternating current, is arranged above each inductor on both sides of the passage duct (5).

Title: Method for enhancing detection ability of nucleic acid assays employing nucleic acid sequence based amplification
Inventor: PANDIAN SITHIAN
IPC: C12Q1/70
Filed: 1995-09-01
Abstract: This invention relates to a new and novel method for significantly enhancing the sensitivity of assays aimed at detecting the presence of target deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequences in a sample. Specifically, this method applies to techniques that employ nucleic acid sequence based amplications (NASBA?) or other nucleic amplification techniques to amplify copies of the target RNA or DNA (Sooknanan et al., Bio"Techniques, 17: 1077-1085, 1994) to allow for detection. The method of the present invention combines the following three steps for the first time: RNA amplification using NASBA; RNA:DNA hybrid formation; and immunochemical detection of heteroduplex nucleic acid sequences. This method extends the standard NASBA techniques to accommodate amplification of copies of the NASBA product, which, following binding to DNA sequences facilitates immunochemical detection of the RNA:DNA hybrids thereby formed. This combination of steps results in a new assay with increased simplicity, speed and sensitivity, including a greatly improved signal-to-noise ratio, over standard nucleic acid detection methods. This improved method will be extremely useful for performing analyses in the forensic, clinical, agricultural and biological fields.

Patent CA-2158097-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BULLOCK DONALD C
IPC: B63B7/02
Filed: 1995-09-12
Abstract: A collapsible tension-compression variable hull structure that collapses and stores substantially flat, yet deploys in seconds without additional parts or accessories. The tension boat design is a unique prestressed structure that strengthens the hull, reduces the need for ribs and makes the hull easily collapsible for storage and transport. Basically the present invention in it's most simple form or embodiment is a boat comprised of five simple parts: two hard, slightly flexible sides, a waterproof flexible bottom, a line running from bow to stern, and a means of applying tension to shorten the line. In the storage phase, the boat looks like two thin boards with rumpled waterproof plastic attached to the bottom. The sides bow out like an archery bow when tension is applied shortening the line. The exact beam or width of the boat depends on the amount of tension on the line. Additionally, the use of multiple tension members running through guides located off the center line of the vessel allows for most aspects of the hull shape to be trimmed and altered even while the vessel is underway. There are many optional formats for such a boat including use as a dingy, a canoe, a sailboat, or a pram, or other different variations which can be built from the same basic idea.
