Patent CA-2524574-A1 (CA)
Title: Biochemical device
Inventor: CURCIO MARIO
IPC: G01N33/80
Filed: 2005-10-27
Abstract: Biochemical assay comprising a) a substrate (16) being capable of binding at least a target analyte and eventually other constituents contained in a biological sample, b) a test zone (18) on the substrate (16) for sample application, c) a non-immobilized conjugate reagent provided in the test zone (18) for labelling the analyte, said conjugate reagent being capable of specific binding to the analyte but remaining unbound to the substrate (16), d) a flow path (24) for transporting a washing liquid (22) through the test zone (18) and washing an excess of unbound conjugate reagent away from the test zone (18), e) whereby the test zone (18) is also a detection area for detecting the labelled analyte.
Patent CA-2528994-A1 (CA)
Title: Electrical connector and socket assemblies
Inventor: YURATICH MICHAEL ANDREW
IPC: H01R/
Filed: 2005-12-05
Abstract: An electrical connector assembly for a cable having a plurality of insulated conductors 20. The connector assembly comprises a body 70 having a respective recess for receiving a terminating pin 27' each of the conductors 20. A respective spigot 24' sealingly engages within each of the recesses and has a passage for receiving an associated one of the terminating pins27'. Furthermore a seal 23' is associated with each of the spigots 24' for sealing the spigot relative to the associated terminating pin 27'. The provision of a separate spigot 24' for each of the conductors and for sealing engagement within a respective recess in the body enables the spigots to be sealingly fitted to the conductors prior to each spigot being introduced into its recess and sealingly engaged therein. This provides improved insulation of the conductor and increased creepage distance between the mating electrical parts and the outer surface of the housing of the assembly. It also provides the additional advantage that the seal on the conductor tends to be smaller than in prior arrangements so that there is less thermal expansion of the seal when the parts get hot in a downhole environment.

Title: A vessel and system for curing a repair to a component made from composite materials
Inventor: BANASKY HOWARD VICTOR
IPC: B29C73/34
Filed: 2004-07-29
Abstract: The present invention provides a pressure vessel for exerting pressure on a repair to a component made of composite materials to cure the repair in the field. The pressure vessel includes a body having a chamber for receiving the repair to the component; a portal operable to permit a heating element of a heater located inside the chamber to be coupled with a power source located outside the chamber to power the heating element; and a pump operable to pressurize the chamber. By pressurizing the chamber, the pressure vessel may exert pressure on a repair placed inside the chamber that exceeds 14.7 psi, and thus, provide a better cure in the field to produce a stronger repair.  Furthermore, the pressure vessel may be more easily transported from one location in the field to another than an autoclave.

Patent CA-2545868-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHUTZENHOFER RICHARD
IPC: B01F3/08
Filed: 2006-05-05
Abstract: A method and system for producing a flavored beverage wherein the flavor is added in a separate step to a combination of the base ingredients after the base liquid has been pasteurized by, for example, thermal heating.  The flavor can be added to a continuous stream of the base liquid after a thermally processed hot-fill beverage base liquid is made up. A return loop conduit of the hot-fill beverage base liquid portion of the system is capable of diverting the heated hot-fill beverage base liquid in a stable state, that is, at the desired temperatures ready for continued beverage production, while the flavor may be switched over in a downstream flavor dosing portion of the system. The system may be used to produce a desired batch of flavored beverage by producing a first flavor, cleaning only that portion of the system to remove the first flavor and then changing over the flavor additive component to a desired second flavor.
Patent CA-2551176-A1 (CA)
Title: Autocalibrated multiphase fluid characterization using extrema of time series
Inventor: SCOTT BENTLEY N
IPC: G01F1/20
Filed: 2006-07-20
Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the fraction of a first phase of a multiphase fluid flow stream, such as the amount of water in crude petroleum oil flowing from a production well or container. An electrical property, such as permittivity, and a physical property, such as density, are used as the basis of the improved characterization. The method is particularly well-suited to reduce salinity-dependent uncertainties for wells experiencing high water cuts. A  time series of measurements is collected, and the extrema of the observed values are used to generate a hindsight auto-calibration and correction to the other values using knowledge of the degree of uncertainty in the measurements caused by variable salinity and variable phase state of the multiphase fluid. The hindsight auto-calibration and corrections thus permit more accurate measurements of the instantaneous and the cumulative amounts of each phase in the multiphase fluid flow stream.

Patent CA-2556963-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAST CHRISTOPHER
IPC: A61B17/68
Filed: 2005-01-28
Abstract: The invention relates to an osseous implant (10) that is implanted in a predetermined cavity or cavity that has been specifically produced, parallel to an implant axis (1) without a significant degree of rotation. Said implant has cutting edges (14), which do not lie on a common plane with the implant axis and are oriented towards the distal end of the implant. In addition, the implant comprises surface areas (16) consisting of a material that can be liquefied by means of mechanical vibrations. The cutting edges (14) are dimensioned in such a way that once implanted, they cut into the cavity wall.  To carry out the implantation, said implant is subjected to mechanical vibrations, causing the thermoplastic material to liquefy at least partially and be pressed into uneven areas and pores of the cavity wall, where it hardens to form a connection between the implant (10) and the cavity wall by means of a positive fit and/or a union of materials. The cutting edges (14) provide anchorage for the implant in the cavity wall, in a similar manner to a screw-type implant. As the implant requires no rotation, the implant can have a form that is neither cylindrical nor conical and can thus be stabilised against rotative stresses more effectively than a screw-type implant. The implant is also more stable with regard to tensile forces as a result of the anchorage by means of the liquefiable material and can, in particular, be subjected to stress immediately after implantation. The implant is, for example, a dental implant.
