Patent CA-2624442-A1 (CA)
Title: Drag-reduction, propulsion, and lift generating system
Inventor: BROOK SAPOTY
IPC: B63H11/00
Filed: 2006-10-04
Abstract: A motion generating system for propelling and/or lifting a craft exploiting explosive and implosive processes, whereby a propulsive or lifting force on the craft arises from two sources: generation of a stream of fluids which imparts thrust to the craft; and generation of zones of reduced pressure and density in front of and above the craft allowing the craft to be thrust forward and lifted by ambient pressure on the rear and underside of the craft.  Furthermore, reduction of fluid density in front of the craft results in a reduction of frontal drag allowing the attainment of higher speeds. The motion generating system may have other applications; for example, the motion generating system may be used to propel a stream of liquid in the manner of a pump.

Title: Hand guard arrangement, barrel arrangement and weapon
Inventor: FLUHR NORBERT
IPC: F41C23/16
Filed: 2006-11-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to hand guard arrangement for a weapon (1), where a shell element (7a, 7b) can be fixed to a support (8, 9). The support (8, 9) comprises at least one spring-loaded holding unit (8) which, in a holding position, engages in one end (7a", 7b"), thereby fixating it. The holding unit (8) can be brought, against the spring force, into a release position in which it releases the respective shell element (7a, 7b) at one end (7a", 7b"). The spring-loaded holding unit (8) is configured in such a manner that it can be fixed onto the barrel (5) mounted on the weapon (1) from the side of the mouth and can be fixated in the region (4) of the rear end of the barrel (5).
Patent CA-2627746-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BREYNE OLIVIER
IPC: C08G69/10
Filed: 2006-10-31
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des nouveaux matériaux à base de polyaminoacides modifiés, biodégradables, utiles notamment pour la vectorisation de principe(s) actif(s) (PA). L'invention vise aussi de nouvelles compositions pharmaceutiques, cosmétiques, diététiques ou phytosanitaires à base de ces polyaminoacides. Le but de l'invention est de fournir une nouvelle matière première polymère, susceptible d'être utilisée pour la vectorisation de PA et permettant de satisfaire de manière optimale à  toutes les spécifications requises en l'espèce : biocompatibilité, biodégradabilité, aptitude à s'associer facilement avec de nombreux principes actifs ou à les solubiliser, et à libérer ces principes actifs in vivo. Ce but est atteint par la présente invention qui concerne des nouveaux polyglutamates modifiés par des dérivés de l'histidine, et par des groupements hydrophobes comportant de 8 à 30 atomes de carbone. Ces polyglutamates modifiés par des dérivés de l'histidine sont solubles à pH inférieur à 5 et sont aptes à se transformer aisément et économiquement en particules de vectorisation de principes actifs, ces particules étant elles même propres à former des suspensions colloïdales aqueuses stables. Ces polyglutamates modifiés sont en revanche insolubles dans l'eau à pH physiologique (7,4) et devraient donc, lors d'une injection sous-cutanée, précipiter sur le site d'injection.

Title: Method of quantifying membrane protein by using mass spectrometer
Inventor: KAMIIE JUNICHI
IPC: G01N30/72
Filed: 2006-10-27
Abstract: It is intended to provide a method whereby a membrane protein occurring in cell membrane can be conveniently, quickly and highly accurately quantified by mass spectrometry with the use of a stable isotope-labeled peptide as a probe.  This method comprises: fragmenting a cell membrane protein into oligopeptide fragments; identifying them by LC-MSMS; selecting peptides obtained by using a protease and a peptide specific for the target molecule as essential criteria;  setting scored criteria for selection considering hydrophobic amino acid content, sequential conditions, amino acid residue count, specific amino acid sequential conditions and so on; selecting a peptide fragment, which can be ionized by the ESI method, in accordance with the criteria for selecting the target peptide to be quantified whereby a peptide having a higher total score is preferentially selected; and thus quantifying the cell membrane protein at a high accuracy by mass spectrometry with the use of the target peptide to be quantified and the stable isotope-labeled peptide.

Filed: 2007-01-15
Abstract: An offshore system allows a vessel (12) to sail to a predetermined sea location (14), quickly set up a loading system and start the transfer of hydrocarbons to or from a pipeline (22), and then quickly disconnect and sail away. The vessel is a DP (dynamic positioning) vessel that does not require mooring or anchor lines, so the only apparatus to install is a conduit (30) that can be picked up by the vessel to extend between a stationary pipe end (24) that lies at the sea floor and the vessel. The conduit includes primarily a flexible hose (32) that extends in a sine wave with two loops (80, 82). The conduit includes a rigid reinforced hose section (34) that is pivotally connected to the sea floor. A chain (114) can be provided with a portion of the chain lying on the sea floor, to help the disconnected hose coupling (42D) remain at a stable position above the sea floor.

Inventor: RUBANOVICH DAN
IPC: G06F3/01
Filed: 2008-08-29
Abstract: An improved handheld electronic device and associated method provide an advanced editing feature and an improved learning feature that are provided in a disambiguation environment. The advanced editing feature advantageously enables a new word that has been incorrectly disambiguated by a disambiguation routine to be readily by the user without requiring the incorrectly disambiguated word to be deleted and retyped.  Rather, the advanced editing feature enables the incorrectly disambiguated characters to be replaced with opposite characters on the same keys, and such changes can be accomplished merely through the use of inputs to a track ball. The newly edited word can then be learned by a learning database. The improved learning function advantageously favors words that are learned using the advanced editing feature over words that have been learned in other fashions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a blind rivet and a device for placing said rivet.  The blind rivet contains a rivet head with a collar at one end and a rivet tip at the other. The rivet body contains a cavity in the form of a bore in a sleeve section. As with other blind rivets, the blind rivet is inserted into an opening in two sheets that are to be joined together, until the collar comes to rest on the upper face of the upper sheet. In a second step, the part of the rivet body or the rivet head that lies on the rear face of the two sheets is deformed with the aid of a hammer or expanding body, which is advanced with a percussive-type action in the same direction. A device for placing a rivet of this type contains a part that can be pushed forwards with a percussive-type action, said part consisting of a hammer for exerting pressure on the expansion body.

Abstract: A visualization surface representative of a portion of the brain at a depth below the head surface of the subject is generated by combining an actual representation of the head surface with an idealized representation of the head surface. The combining is a function of the depth and is performed to minimize in the visualization surface any irregularities existing in the actual head surface of the subject. A display shows the visualization surface overlaid on a volumetric image of the brain, the electric field induced on a region of the visualization surface by a transcranial magnetic stimulation ("TMS") induction coil device positioned above the head surface and the TMS coil device. By viewing the display, a user of the TMS coil device can interactively position the TMS coil device in relation to the head surface and, for a target site on the brain at a selected depth, determine the position at which the TMS coil device induces a maximum E- field on a visualization surface corresponding to the selected depth.
