Abstract: A valve body (15) is formed of two half sections (16, 18) which are secured together to define a drain line passage (12) and to confine therebetween a thin gate valve (45) between a lower open position and an upper closed position. Actuator (110) includes flexible bellows (80) confined between a cylindrical wall (88) and cover (110).

Title: Parallel fixed bed reactor and fluid contacting apparatus and method
Inventor: HAUSHALTER BOB
IPC: C40B30/08
Filed: 1999-06-02
Abstract: The present invention discloses an apparatus and method for rapid analysis of members of a combinatorial library. The apparatus includes a plurality of vessels for containing individual library members and a fluid handling system that apportions a test fluid about equally between each of the vessels. This allows for simultaneous screening of library members by detecting changes in test fluid following contact with individual library members. Fluid flow through each of the vessels is controlled using passive flow restrictors or active flow controllers to ensure that each library member contacts approximately the same amount of test fluid per unit time. The disclosed apparatus is especially useful for screening library members based on their ability to catalyze the conversion of fluid reactants.

Patent CA-2303416-A1 (CA)
Title: Repressed trans-activator system for characterization of protein-protein interactions
Inventor: ROHDE JOHN
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1998-09-08
Abstract: The invention provides a system for assaying protein-protein interactions. Amino acid sequences of interest are inserted into 'bait" and "prey" fusion proteins. The bait fusion proteins include a DNA-binding domain.  The prey fusion proteins include a transcriptional repression domain. The interaction of the bait and prey fusion proteins is detected by the repression of reporter genes. The reporter genes have operator sequences to which the DNA-binding domain of the bait fusion protein can bind. The reporter genes are expressed unless the prey fusion protein interacts with a bait fusion protein at the operator region of the reporter gene. When a prey fusion protein binds to a bait fusion protein, the expression of the reporter gene is repressed. Compounds that interfere with the interaction of bait and prey fusion proteins may be detected by their ability to reverse the repression of the reporter genes.
Patent CA-2309492-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JONSSON MAGNUS OKAFUR
IPC: B68B1/06
Filed: 2000-05-26
Abstract: The invention relates to the restriction of the angular displacement of a bit for animals so that it is comfortable is the animal's mouth and facilitates training and control. The bit consists of a central section, end sections and bridle-irons, which are joined by means of ball-joints of such a design and size as to restrict the angular displacement of the bit. The bit according to this invention is intended to have restricted angular displacement in the animal's mouth so as to prevent it from rising too high and injuring the animal's palate. It is also to avoid excessive pinching of the corners of the animal's mouth and its jaw, and to restrict the resistance of the ball joints so that it is easy for the animal to move its tongue and teeth relative to the bit without encountering resistance, and to prevent the animal from passing its tongue over the bit. The restriction of the angular displacement of the bit is based on the thickness of the ball-neck and the size of the socket apertures in the ball-joints in the bit.
