Patent CA-2120029-C (CA)
Inventor: HEIN RICHARD D
IPC: F16C23/04
Filed: 1992-12-04
Granted: 1996-04-23
Abstract: The technical field of the invention generally involves mount assemblies and in particular, a mount assembly is described for resiliently mounting a stabilizer bar on an automobile frame (12). The mount assembly comprises a bracket assembly and a bushing assembly. The bushing assembly includes an outer sleeve (9) adjacent to the bracket (8) and an inner sleeve (14) for con-tacting the stabilizer bar (10). The nesting sleeves are designed so as to provide restraint of axial movement while allowing ease of rotational movement. The restraint can be provided by a positive stop such as a projecting flange member (40, 41), or by cooperat-ing conical or tapered surfaces (33, 34) which defines an increased frictional engagement and compression of the stabilizer bar as the inner sleeve (14) and the outer sleeve (9) move increasingly out of relative axial alignment.

Title: Recombinant antibodies specific for tnf-.alpha.
Inventor: ADAIR JOHN ROBERT
IPC: C12N15/11
Filed: 1991-12-20
Granted: 1998-12-29
Abstract: Recombinant, in particular humanised, e.g. humanised chimeric and CDR-grafted humanised, antibody molecules having specificity for human TNF.alpha., are provided for use in diagnosis and therapy.  In particular the antibody molecules have antigen binding sites derived from murine monoclonal antibodies CB0006, CB0010,hTNF3 or 101.4.  Preferred CDR-grafted humanised anti-hTNF.alpha. antibodies comprise variable region domains comprising human acceptor framework and donor antigen binding regions and wherein the frameworks comprise donor residues at specific positions.  The antibody molecules may be used for therapeutic treatment of human patients suffering from or at risk of disorders associated with undesirably high levels of TNF, in particular for treatment of immunoregulatory and inflammatory disorders of septic, endotoxic or cardiovascular shock.
Patent CA-2129573-C (CA)
Inventor: SMITH DANIEL FORREST
IPC: C12Q1/22
Filed: 1994-08-05
Granted: 2006-11-14
Abstract: A self-contained biological indicator includes an outer container that is translucent and liquid impermeable. The container is normally closed by a vapor-permeable, microorganism-impermeable closure and contains a source of viable microorganisms, a culture medium, a composition that decomposes hydrogen peroxide, and a detector that undergoes a visible change in response to growth of the microorganisms. In operation, the indicator is first subjected to a sterilization cycle in a hydrogen peroxide sterilizer. Without opening the outer container, the microorganism source, culture medium, and hydrogen peroxide-decomposing composition are brought into contact.      The indicator is placed in an incubator, after which the detector responds to any microorganism growth, indicative of incomplete sterilization. But for the hydrogen peroxide-decomposing composition, hydrogen peroxide that becomes bound to the microorganism support during sterilization, could kill the microorganisms afterwards, yielding a false indication of complete sterilization.

Title: Computer-aided diagnosis system and method
Inventor: WANG SHIH-PING
IPC: G16H30/20
Filed: 1994-09-15
Granted: 2004-01-06
Abstract: X-ray images are displayed at both high-resolution and high- illumination with annotation superimposed in registration therewith to point out suspected abnormalities identified through a process in which the x-ray images are digitized and the digitized information is subjected to feature extraction processing. For example, the x-ray images are displayed at high resolution and high illumination in the form of x-ray film images displayed on a light box while the annotation information is selectively superimposed on the same image by a separate imaging system co-acting with the light box. In this manner, the radiologist can view either the x-ray film alone, in the conventional manner, or the same x-ray film, at the same position and at the same high resolution and at the same or substantially the same illumination level but with annotation information superimposed and in registration therewith. In addition, alternative ways are disclosed for displaying the high resolution x-ray image and for selectively superimposing the annotation information thereon.

Abstract: Polyesters de polyol solides et non digestibles où les groupes esters sont constitués essentiellement par: (1) des radicaux d'acides gras possédant au moins un groupe hydroxyle estérifié avec un autre acide gras ou un autre radical organique et (2) par au moins environ 15 % de radicaux d'acides gras saturés à longue chaîne (C20 ou supérieur). Le rapport molaire de (1):(2) se situe entre 0,1:7,9 et 3:5 environ. Ces polyesters de polyol solides et non digestibles sont des agents de contrôle très efficaces des pertes huileuses anales pour des huiles liquides non digestibles. Des produits comestibles contenant des lipides et comprenant des graisses non digestibles contenant lesdits polyesters de polyol solides sont moins susceptibles de présenter un goût de paraffine étant donné le niveau inférieur de solides nécessaire au contrôle des pertes huileuses anales.

Abstract: A process for the production of syn gas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) by reaction at high temperature between low molecular weight hydrocarbons, steam and oxygen in an impurities-containing refractory lined reaction zone. The lined reaction zone is pretreated with steam, or with steam and a reducing gas, e.g., a mixture of steam and hydrogen to leach out, react with, and transport the impurities, i.e., the reaction products of silica, or silica plus phosphorus or sulfur, or silica plus phosphorus and sulfur, from the reaction zone. Steam alone may be used to leach out, convert the silica to gaseous silicic acid, and remove same from the reaction zone; and then the hydro-arbons, steam and oxygen feeds are introduced into the reaction zone to produce syn gas.

Abstract: A self wear compensating valve for controlling flow of a fluid employs seals for sealing between relatively moving parts.  In one of the parts, an annular recess is formed.  A conformable sealing member is placed in the recess, and a spring biased to expel the conformable sealing member and press it against a sealing surface on the other part is provided.  An O-ring placed on the outside of the conformable sealing member prevents leakage of fluid through the recess outside of the conformable sealing member.   As the conformable sealing member is worn away, after many cycles of the valve,  the  spring continues to press  it against the  sealing surface, while the O-ring continues to prevent leakage of fluid outside the conformable sealing member.  A rotary valve suitable for railroad brake applications is provided, which controls flow of fluid from a supply to the brake cylinder, and provides for exhaust of fluid from the brake cylinder.  The valve has a supply port, a delivery port and an exhaust.  In one position, the supply port is connected to the delivery port through a passage in the rotor.  In another position, the delivery port is connected to the exhaust port through a passage in the rotor.  In a third position, the lap position,  all the ports are isolated from each other.   Seals prevent loss of fluid from the supply port and from the delivery port.  A seal is also provided to prevent loss of fluid through the exhaust port, when the delivery port is not connected to the exhaust port.
