Patent CA-2207843-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for assembling custom glass assemblies
Inventor: RUECKHEIM ERIC W
IPC: C03C27/06
Filed: 1995-06-02
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for assembling a small number of custom sealed double glazing units in which spacers can have different widths and panes of different assemblies can be differently sized.  In accordance with one method of the invention, a spacer (31) having sealant (34) on opposing surfaces thereof is adhered to a first glass pane (21) and a resilient member (40) is positioned alongside a portion of the spacer. A seond glass pane (26) is positioned over the spacer so that it is partially adhered to the spacer to define an interpane space (36) around which the spacer is adhered, but with the resilient member preventing contact with the whole of the spacer, so maintaining a gap between a portion of the spacer and the second glass pane. The resulting assembly is moved into a gas exchange chamber (60), and air is removed from the chamber and accordingly also the interpane space. A gas having a coefficient of thermal conductivity lower than that of air is introduced into the chamber and accordingly also the interpane space, and the glass panes are pressed together while in the gas exchange chamber to compress the resilient member and adhere the second glass pane to all of the spacer to seal the interpane space.

Inventor: FELBINGER ZDENKO
IPC: E21C37/22
Filed: 1997-09-05
Abstract: The present invention pertains to hydraulically powered hand held tool, used in mining for removing the loose rock off the walls of an underground excavation. This ensures safety for the miners entering the excavation subsequent to the blast, preparing to install the permanent rock support such as the rockbolts and screens. The scaling process and the tool have hardly changed over the years from the very beginning of mining as such. Today more economical hydraulic equipment is rapidly replacing the compressed air equipment and its limitations. The tool utilizes the hydraulic equipment power source, and eliminates most of operators' physical effort required. The spare parts and materials are widely available. Having no exhaust completely eliminate breathable air contaminants; fogging, causing the poor workplace visibility, and significantly reduces audible noise pollution. The tool substantially improves overall efficiency of scaling process, and requires no additional infrastructure.

Title: A multichannel cochlear prosthesis with flexible control of stimulus waveforms
Inventor: LOEB GERALD E
IPC: A61N1/36
Filed: 1996-04-23
Abstract: A method and system provides for a wide range of temporospatial patterns of electrical stimulation waveforms to be readily specified for respective channels of a multichannel cochlear prosthesis. The cochlear prosthesis includes: a speech processor system, and a cochlear stimulator. The speech processor system typically includes an external headpiece, including a microphone, coupled to a speech processor. The speech processor includes electronic circuitry, typically including a microprocessor, that converts acoustical signals sensed through the microphone to electrical signals, and processes the electrical signals in accordance with a desired speech processing strategy. The definition of simple or complex stimulation waveforms to be used as part of the selected speech processing strategy is facilitated, in a preferred embodiment, through the use of a template table stored in the speech processor. The rows and columns of the template table define time intervals and stimulation channels (and hence stimulation sites). The individual cells of the template table are programmed, e.g., using a laptop computer, to contain selected alphanumeric codes or characters, including null characters, that define the polarity and relative magnitude of desired stimulation patterns and waveforms that are applied to the defined stimulation sites at the indicated frame times. Alternatively, the stimulation patterns and waveforms may be specified in a list of spatial/temporal events.

Title: Use of fructose diphosphate to reduce cyclosporine dosages after organ transplantation
Inventor: MARKOV ANGEL K
IPC: A61K38/13
Filed: 1998-01-19
Abstract: This invention discloses a method of using fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) to help suppress the rejection of internal organs such as kidneys, hearts, etc. At least three major advantages of FDP in conjunction with organ transplants have been identified: (1) FDP can help reduce the unwanted proliferation of certain types of stimulated lymphocytes which would otherwise pose a risk of attacking the non-self cells in the transplanted organ; (2) FDP can also potentiate the effectiveness of cyclosporine as a transplant-protecting immunosuppressant, thereby allowing a reduction in CSA dosages, which in turn can reduce the likelihood and the severity of toxic side effects and other dangers of CSA treatment; (3) FDP can also reduce the amount of damage inflicted on an organ during the removal and storage steps required in organ transplantation.

Pour maximiser le temps de réponse et éviter une pénalité d'écriture, de petites opérations d'écriture sont appliquées dans des configurations RAID 1 et des opérations d'écriture moyennes et importantes sont appliquées dans des configurations RAID 3. Ces segments sont transportés dans des configurations RAID 5 en tant qu'opération de fond, pour minimiser la perte d'espace sur disque. Ledit système cache les modifications de configuration nécessaires pour l'ajout et/ou la suppression de disques à l'ensemble de disques. Tandis que ces modifications sont en cours, l'ensemble (106, 110, 112, 114, 116) de disques reste en ligne et toutes les données centrales sont disponibles pour accès et modification.
