Title: Method of screening ptp zeta activity promoter or inhibitor
Inventor: FUJIKAWA AKIHIRO
IPC: C12Q1/42
Filed: 2001-07-23
Abstract: A method of promoting a PTP.zeta. activity promoter or inhibitor, which is useful as a remedy for neutral monoamine nerve system disorder or gastric ulcer caused by Helicobacter pylori or pleiotrophin, by using the physiological functions of PTP.zeta.; and a non-human model animal having a low sensitivity to excitants, pylori toxin or pleiotrophin. A PTP.zeta. activity promoter or inhibitor is screened by administering a test substance  to a PTP.zeta.-knockout mouse and a wild type mouse and comparing and evaluating the PTP.zeta. activities of these animals (for example, occurrenc e of the central monoamine nerve system disorder, the extent of accommodation to new environment, responsiveness to stress, the extent of binding to pylori toxin or pleiotrophin).

Title: A lockable latch for a lowerator having combined latch actuation and carrier movement
Inventor: OLDFORD KEITH A
IPC: B23P21/00
Filed: 2003-03-05
Abstract: A lowerator for an assembly system of the type including at least one rail defining a path of travel with respect to at least one workstation, and a conveyor for transporting a workpiece along the rail. The conveyor includes a trolley moveable along the rail and a carrier moveable with respect to the trolley. The carrier supports a workpiece during movement with respect to the workstation. The carrier is vertically positionable between a raised position and lowered position with respect to the trolley. The lowerator moves the carrier between the raised and lowered positions and cycles a latch for securing the carrier to the trolley when in the raised position. The lowerator includes at least one lifter or actuator defining a path of travel in at least a first direction, where the lifter actuates the latch to uncouple the trolley and carrier before moving the carrier into the lowered position at the workstation so that one or more processing operations can be performed on the workpiece. A lock, including a reciprocal pin and rotatable catch, can operably engage the latch in an engaged position for holding the carrier in the raised position with respect to the trolley. A lockout pin can be operably positioned to obstruct free movement of the latch from the engaged position until the lockout pin is removed. A guide member can be associated with each carrier for engagement with a guide channel located at the workstation for guiding movement of the carrier between the raised and lowered positions.

Patent CA-2423260-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WISHART DAVID SCOTT
IPC: G01R33/46
Filed: 2001-11-01
Abstract: A process for quantitative and qualitative analysis for identifying compounds in a sample mixture involves the identification of a set of reference spectra selected according to a measured condition, e.g. pH, of the sample, which collectively define a composite spectrum which best matches a spectrum produced from the sample. The compounds associated with respective reference spectra of the identified set are the compounds that are determined to be likely to be present in the sample. Quantities of the compounds may be determined from the intensities of certain representative peaks associated with the compounds, relative to the intensity of a peak associated with a reference compound which is unaffected by the measured condition of the sample. Thus, given a test spectrum of a sample and given a set of reference spectra, the process can identify and quantify compounds present in the sample.

Abstract: A method of producing a printing plate on a cylindrical printing-plate carrier in a rotary printing press uses a digital imagesetting unit and a raster image processor. The method includes subdividing the printing-plate carrier by computation in terms of its width and axial length into at least two circumferential subareas. Then an actual transfer characteristic curve for each subarea is determined and each actual transfer characteristic curve is compared by computation with a predetermined desired printing characteristic curve to find a deviation of the actual transfer characteristic curve from the desired characteristic curve of each subarea. The method further includes calculating a correction to compensate for each deviation; receiving a digital image data in a first data format using the raster image processor, the first data format independent of the printing press; converting the digital image data into machine-specific image data using the raster image processor, the machine-specific image data including the position and the tonal value in the form of a bitmap; applying the correction for a predetermined desired printing characteristic curve for the edition print to the machine-specific image data using the raster image processor; and supplying the machine-specific image data using the raster image processor to the imagesetting unit.

IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2001-10-25
Abstract: Systems and methods provide for the fixation of osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic long bones, especially Colles' fractures. A cannula having a circumferential opening is inserted into cancellous bone and directed such that the circumferential opening faces the fracture. The cannula is further adapted to receive an expandable structure, the expandable structure being inserted through the cannula until it is in registration with the circumferential opening. The expandable structure is expanded through the circumferential opening into cancellous bone and toward the fracture. The expansion of the expandable structure through the circumferential opening toward the fracture causes compression of cancellous bone and moves fractured cortical bone, thus creating a cavity proximal to the fracture. The cavity is then filled with a flowable bone filling material and the material allowed to harden.

Title: Kingpin angle mounted sensor
Inventor: OSBORN JASON A
IPC: B62D15/02
Filed: 2001-12-06
Abstract: A angle sensor (50) is used for determining the relative position of a streerable wheel hub (24), relative to a fixed wheel mounting hub (26).

IPC: B01D46/24
Filed: 2002-04-23
Abstract: A ceramic honeycomb wall-flow filter is prepared by plugging channels in a ceramic honeycomb comprised of clay by a method comprising the following.  First, a mixture comprised of a dispersing liquid and ceramic powder is formed. Second, the mixture is inserted into at least one channel of a green ceramic honeycomb that is comprised of a clay to form a plugged green ceramic honeycomb wherein the dispersing liquid essentially fails to swell the clay.  Alternatively, the mixture is inserted into a calcined ceramic honeycomb to form a plugged calcined ceramic honeycomb. Finally, the plugged green or calcined ceramic honeycomb is heated to a temperature sufficient to sinter the plugged green ceramic honeycomb to form a porous sintered plugged ceramic honeycomb. The method is particularly useful for simultaneously making the plugs and discriminating layers in the channels. In particular the method is useful to make wall-flow filter having plugs on at least one end with same composition as the discriminating layer or plugs on each end having different compositions.
