Title: Chipper drive assembly
Inventor: TOHKALA ANTTI
IPC: B02C18/24
Filed: 2004-09-03
Abstract: The present invention concerns a chipping or crushing apparatus having a prominent speed of rotation and mass inertial moment. The main parts of the apparatus include a chipping disc or a rotor, a short circuit motor and a frequency converter connected to the circuit of the motor. From the chipping disc, respectively from the rotor or from the motor there is arranged a data connection of the speed of rotation to the frequency converter, and the frequency converter has been arranged to control the frequency of the motor current by means of said data so, that in a situation of peak load, when the motor load (torque M) has reached the nominal load, the frequency converter keeps the motor load at the nominal load by decreasing the frequency of the motor current. Thereby kinetic energy of the rotating components will be released for use in the peak loads corresponding to the decrease of the speed of rotation.
Patent CA-2513646-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TANGREA MICHAEL A
IPC: G01N33/569
Filed: 2003-07-23
Abstract: A method of removing a target from a biological sample which involved placing a transfer surface in contact with the biological sample, and then focally altering the transfer surface to allow selective separation of the target from the biological sample. In disclosed embodiments, the target is a cell or cellular component of a tissue section and the transfer surface is a film that can be focally altered to adhere the target to the transfer surface.  Subsequent separation of the film from the tissue section selectively removes the adhered target from the tissue section. The transfer surface is activated from within the target to adhere the target to the transfer surface, for example by heating the target to adhere or to a thermoplastic transfer surface. Such in situ activation can be achieved by exposing the biological sample to an immunoreagent that specifically binds to the target (or a component of the target). The immunoreagent can alter the transfer surface directly ( for example with a heat generating enzyme carried by the immunoreagent), or indirectly ( for example by changing a characteristic of the target). In some embodiments, the immunoreagent deposits a precipitate in the target that increases its light absorption relative to surrounding tissue, such that the biological specimen can be exposed to light to selectively heat the target. Alternatively, the immunoreagent is an immunofluorescent agent that carries a fluorosphore that absorbs light and emits heat.

Title: Purified polyoxypropylene/polyoxyethylene copolymers and method of preparing the same
Inventor: BALASUBRAMANIAN MANNARSAMY
IPC: A61K31/785
Filed: 2004-09-03
Abstract: The present invention comprises novel preparations of polyoxypropylene/polyoxyethylene octablock copolymers which retain the growth-promoting and immunity~enhancing activity of commercially-available preparations, but are free from the undesirable effects which are inherent in the prior art preparations. Because the polyoxypropylene/polyoxyethylene copolymers which comprise the present invention have a more homogenous population off molecules with fewer low molecular weight species than prior art preparations, the biological activity of the copolymer is better defined and more predictable. Moreover, the polyoxypropylene/polyoxyethylene copolymer of the present invention substantially reduces any risk to human health through the consumption of food animals since the copolymer hereof is not absorbed into the animal's edible tissue. Methods for preparation of the polyoxypropylene/polyoxyethylene copolymer of the present invention are also provided.
