Patent CA-2314327-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAUGHLIN RICHARD LOGUE
IPC: F25C5/16
Filed: 1996-02-14
Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing ice includes a bin and a shroud that contains a recess for housing a wheel. The shroud mounts to a front wall of the bin and includes a chute that communicates exterior to the bin. The shroud further includes a curved plate that directs ice into the recess so that the wheel can raise the ice to the chute. A plate mounts at an angle sloping downward towards the front wall of the bin to direct ice onto the curved plate of the shroud. A discharge chute assembly mounts to the ice bin and communicates with the chute of the shroud to permit the delivery of the ice exterior to the bin. A gear moor drives the wheel to facilitate the lifting of the ice to the chute of the shroud. Alternatively, in a combination ice and beverage dispenser, the plate mounted within the bin is replaced with a cold plate mounted within the bin at an angle sloping downward towards the front wall of the bin. The cold plate directs ice in the bin onto the curved plate of the shroud and communicates at inlets to a beverage source to cool beverages before dispensing. Dispensing valves communicate with outlets from the cold plate to permit the dispensing of beverages from the ice and beverage dispensing apparatus.

Filed: 1998-12-21
Abstract: La présente invention porte sur des compositions, un appareil et des procédés utilisés simultanément pour effectuer plusieurs dosages biologiques ou chimiques à haut rendement, à l'aide de matrices de sondes. Une combinaison de l'invention comprend une surface constituée de plusieurs régions de test, dont au moins deux, et selon une réalisation préférée, dont au moins vingt, sont pratiquement identiques, chacune de ces régions test comprenant une matrice de molécules d'ancrage génériques. Les éléments d'ancrage sont associés à des molécules de liaison bifonctionnelles, chacune contenant une partie spécifique à au moins un des éléments d'ancrage, et une partie qui est une sonde spécifique d'une cible. La matrice de sondes obtenue est utilisée pour analyser ou tester l'activité d'une ou plusieurs molécules cibles qui ont une interaction spécifique avec les sondes. Selon une réalisation préférée, les régions de test (qui peuvent être des puits) sont également subdivisées en sous-régions plus petites (creux ou dépressions). Selon une réalisation de cette invention, les EST sont cartographiés. Selon une autre réalisation, on détecte la présence d'un acide nucléique cible en protégeant la cible de la digestion de la nucléase avec un fragment polynucléotidique, et en analysant le polynucléotide protégé par spectrométrie de masse.

Patent CA-2325973-A1 (CA)
Title: Telescoping demolition tool
Inventor: WOOD ROBERT S
IPC: B25G1/04
Filed: 2000-11-14
Abstract: A demolition tool for impact hammering, impact pulling and prying is provided which includes an elongate handle defining a passage extending therethrough and first and second rods inserted at respective ends of the handle.  The first rod is slidably engaged within the handle and includes a hook at its outer end. The second rod is fixedly secured within the handle and includes a chisel at one end. The chisel can be used for impact chiseling or prying by sliding the first rod to a retracted position, such that its inner end collides with the inner end of the second rod. The hook may used for impact pulling by lifting the handle away from the hook into an expanded position in which the first rod is prevented from leaving the handle by a stopping mechanism. To increase leverage for prying, the tool may be extended to the expanded position. Because the stopping mechanism is within the handle, the risk of injury to the user is reduced. Because the hook and the chisel of the tool are on opposite ends, each implement does not interfere with the utilization of the other.

Inventor: DALLAS L MURRAY
IPC: E21B19/22
Filed: 2001-02-12
Abstract: A coil tubing injector assembly includes a frame structure and a pair of gripper chain drive systems mounted to the frame structure. The pair of gripper chain drive systems are disposed in a common plane and spaced apart from each other, and adapted to engage a first and a second coil tubing string to inject both of the first and second coil tubing strings into, and withdraw both the first and second strings from, a subterranean well.

While in use, the user's foot is axially aligned with an axle of the foot pedal, and is capable of supplying force to the foot pedal on both the downstroke and upstroke portions of the food pedal's rotation. An external attachment (300, 400) also serves as one of the plurality of user interfaces.  The external attachment is preferably designed to transmit force from the user's legs, arms, feet or hands to the foot pedal of the stationary bicycle.  Additionally, the external attachment can also transmit force from the user's legs, arms, feet or hands to this foot pedal. Similar to the foot holder, the external attachment is also capable of supplying force to the foot pedal on both the downstroke and the upstroke portions of the foot pedal's rotation.

Patent CA-2348984-A1 (CA)
Title: Hypodermic syringe with selectively retractable needle
Inventor: BUSH CHARLES L JR
IPC: A61M5/50
Filed: 2001-05-28
Abstract: A hypodermic syringe with a selectively retractable needle includes an elongate barrel defining a receiver and a hollow bore. The syringe has a plunger with an elongate cavity open to the proximal end. The plunger is sized to fit within the bore of the barrel for a slidable movement to define a chamber for receiving and expelling fluids. The inside diameter of the cavity in the plunger is sufficient to accept telescopically at least a part of a first portion of the plunger. A second portion and the first portion are joined at an attachment to form a shoulder extending outwardly from the first portion, with the plunger being telescopically collapsible by movement of the second portion into the cavity by of sufficient distal force to frangibly disrupt the attachment. The syringe includes an elongate sleeve sized to fit over the first portion of the plunger and extend from the shoulder. The plunger includes a stopper to a form fluid tight seal with the barrel. The sleeve has a cutting surface inside of the stopper. The syringe includes a hub with a proximal flange and a passageway within the receiver. The syringe has a needle with a pointed distal end mounted in the passageway of the hub extending distally outwardly. When sufficient distal force is applied to collapse the plunger, the cutting surface of the sleeve cuts through the stopper and through the flange of the hub and releases it from the receiver to retract the needle.
