Patent CA-2435181-A1 (CA)
Title: Vacuum belt conveyor system
Inventor: SHERWOOD BERNARD J
IPC: B65G15/58
Filed: 2003-07-15
Abstract: A modular pneumatic transfer system for belt conveyors bas a series of individual plastic transfer blocks over which the belt rides. Used as a transfer vacuum system, each transfer block is part of a self-contained suction module, each module incorporating a low pressure air jet serving as a reaction sensing means to determine the presence of an overlying article; a multi-stage air-driven venturi, operating as an air ejector, provides high vacuum in the suction block; and a pneumatic control actuated by the sensing means activates the venturi and applies the vacuum to the respective block. This suction at the block, is applied to perforations in the belt causing "draw-down" of the sensed object onto the belt, for transfer thereby. The blocks may also be used as air cushion modules, in a supporting mode. The belt drive synchronous motor is located in the conveyor mid-section, with belt position relative to workstations located alonside the belt being determined by the motor controller, for instance, a synchronous electric motor, for accurate stop/start operation of the conveyor (including reversal) in relation to the adjoining work stations. Direct drive of the transfer belt can be provided, using a toothed transfer belt. A number of such conveyors can operate side by side, drivers by a shared splined drive shaft. The guide rolls of the system nay be of plastic, having the support bearings set into the roll end or ends, for love cost replacement of the roll. The extruded beam on which the transfer blocks are carried contains four large bore service galleries from which high pressure and low pressure air are supplied to the system.
Patent CA-2436125-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOGELAND JANE
IPC: C07D311/78
Filed: 2002-01-23
Abstract: A novel process for synthesizing .beta.-lapachone (beta-lapachone), an agent that has demonstrated significant antineoplastic activity against human cancer lines. The process comprises the conversion of starting material, 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphothoquinone into .beta.-lapachone intermediate, lapachol. The lapachol is then converted to .beta.-lapachone by treatment with sulfuric acid and purified by recrystallization from ethanol. This novel process is extremely simple and provides .beta.-lapachone in excellent quality and high yield.

Title: Information recording device and method, information reproducing device and method, recording medium, program, and disc recording medium
Inventor: USUI MAKOTO
IPC: G11B20/10
Filed: 2003-01-24
Abstract: An ECC block is constituted by RS(248,216,33). Of a data length of 216 bytes (symbols), only 16 bytes are allocated to BCA data and the remaining 200 byt es are used for fixed data having a predetermined value. Using the fixed data o f 200 bytes and the BCA data of 16 bytes, parities of 32 bytes (symbols) are calculated. Only the BCA data of 16 bytes and the parities of the former 16 bytes of the 32-byte parities, that is, a total of 32 bytes only, are record ed in a burst cutting area of an optical disc. In decoding, error correction processing is carried out by using the fixed data of 200 bytes. The unrecord ed parities of 16 bytes are processed as having been erased. Thus the error correction capability in a burst cutting area of an optical disc can be improved.

Patent CA-2456590-A1 (CA)
Title: Biological assay detection method
Inventor: INGLESE JAMES
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 2002-08-02
Abstract: The invention is a method for detecting a reaction product which signals the presence of a reaction product inducer such as an enzyme. The method enables the recognition of epitopes that form the basis of a detection strategy without the need for specific antibodies to the epitope. In the method, a directly or indirectly labeled modular domain and a biotinylated form of the cognate peptide ligand are used as the basis for a measurable interaction. T he peptide ligand can be masked by modifications through, for example, phosphorylation of the Ser or Thr residue, or extension of the amino acid sequence beyond the C-terminal Val. Because the masked residues are critical to binding of the labeled modular domain, masking of at least one of the residues prevents binding. Upon treatment of the masked residue by the appropriate enzyme, (e.g., treatment of the phosphorylated residue with a phosphatase enzyme, or treatment of the extended residue with a protease enzyme, the peptide is converted to the original unmasked ligand that is capable of binding to the labeled modular domain and forming a measurable complex.
