Patent CA-2497821-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NUNEZ PAUL
IPC: E05B47/00
Filed: 2003-08-13
Abstract: A handle support mechanism is designed for attachment to a door lock, preferably the exterior of a mortise lock, that has two handles (50, 52) driven back to an initial position with a common return spring (62) after either handle (50, 52) is used. The support mechanism prevents the unused handle from drooping or rotating when the common return spring (62) is compressed as the opposite handle is turned. The support mechanism includes first and second friction discs (12, 14) trapped between the exterior of the mortise lock and the legs (16, 18) of a U-shaped spring bracket (10). The spring bracket (10) applies an inward spring pressure to prevent a friction disc (14, 16) and its corresponding handle (50, 52) from turning when the other handle is in use. The handle support mechanism improves visual appearance and is particularly suitable for retrofit installations, lever handle designs and mortise locks with independent switch sensors on the two handles that notify a monitoring system as to which handle was turned to ope n a monitored door.

Patent CA-2500843-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DEMPSEY MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: B01J8/20
Filed: 2002-10-09
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil (8) dans lequel une biomasse est supportée sur un substrat fluidisé. Au dessous de ce dernier, se trouve une couche de particules du distributeur que traverse le milieu de fluidisation avant d'entrer en contact avec le substrat fluidisé et la biomasse qui lui est associée. La couche du distributeur se caractérise en ce que ses particules amortissent la turbulence excessive dans le milieu de fluidisation, ce qui évite toute turbulence inutile du milieu à l'intérieur de la couche fluidisée. Ce système présente l'avantage de contrôler dans une certaine mesure l'épaisseur du biofilm qui peut être supporté par les particules fluidisées du substrat. Ces particules (1, 2, 5) peuvent être recyclées dans la couche du distributeur où l'action des particules du distributeur permet de supprimer l'excès de film des particules du substrat qui sont ensuite renvoyées dans le lit fluidisé.

Title: Proteines de liaison au collagene derivees d'enterocoques
Inventor: HOOK MAGNUS
IPC: A61K39/09
Filed: 2000-05-10
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à une protéine MSCRAMM de liaison au collagène, dénommée Ace et dérivée d'entérocoques, qui est homologue à la région de liaison à un ligand de Cna, la MSCRAMM de liaison au collagène de    Staphylococcus aureus    , et qui peut être utilisée de manière similaire aux autres MSCRAMM de liaison au collagène pour empêcher l'adhésion des entérocoques aux protéines matricielles extracellulaires. La région N-terminale de Ace contient une région (résidus 174-319), ou domaine A, qui semble être équivalente à la région minimale de liaison à un ligand de la protéine Cna de liaison au collagène (Cna 151-318), et contient plusieurs motifs en tandem à 47 résidus, appelés motifs de domaine B, entre le site de liaison au collagène et les régions associées aux parois cellulaires. Cette protéine Ace peut être utilisée dans des méthodes de prévention et/ou de traitement des infections par entérocoques et, en outre, les anticorps dirigés contre cette protéine Ace, ou son domaine A, peuvent être utilisés pour empêcher efficacement l'adhésion de cellules d'entérocoques à un substrat de collagène. Cette protéine Ace est donc une protéine MSCRAMM de liaison au collagène fonctionnelle et elle peut être utilisée pour traiter ou prévenir les infections de la même manière que cela a été fait avec d'autres MSCRAMM isolées, notamment dans des méthodes de traitement ou de prévention des infections et des maladies provoquées par des entérocoques.

Title: Method, system, and program product for conducting bingo games
Inventor: O'CONNOR BRENDAN
IPC: A63F13/00
Filed: 2004-01-30
Abstract: A method for conducting bingo games includes using a server (101) to collect game play requests (501) from a plurality of electronic player stations (103).  The server (101, 102) determines if a group of the collected game play requests meets one or more predefined conditions for establishing a quorum (502), and if so conducts a game with the group of game play requests (506, 507). Even after the game is started, the server continues to collect game 10 play requests in preparation for conducting additional games (506, 500). When enough game play requests are collected (503), the server starts the next game, even if previous games are still in progress (506, 507). Each game play request is associated with a bingo card representation (1201) and each such card representation is associated with a respective pay table. Prizes or outcomes (1501, 1601) of the game are assigned for each bingo card representation according to the respective pay table with which the card representation is associated.

Abstract: A scalable, multi-game, single-draw lottery operating platform based on a single number selection system and method.   The methodology presented is designed to optimize the operational efficiency and financial profitability in the draw-centric portfolios of "on-line" lotteries. It involves a comprehensive system for the sale and management of multiple games with differing play formats, odd levels and prize structures through a compounded wager management structure. Supported by the programmed implementation of a dedicated random number generator application for specifically crafted platform games, the aggregated daily results for the entire draw-centric lottery portfolio are produced in a single process. This consolidated platform consolidates the complete range of administrative tasks that lottery jurisdictions currently undertake on a game-by-game basis. Accordingly, once implemented, this system and method would obviate the need to account for wagers, prizes, commissions, refund credits and forfeitures, respectively for each draw game product category, on an individual basis.
