Patent CA-2453701-A1 (CA)
Title: Scoop for cat litter
Inventor: PARR MICHAEL J
IPC: A01K1/01
Filed: 2003-12-19
Abstract: A circular litter box having a scoop removal remounted in a scoop holder which is pushed around the sidewall of the box to scoop the box.      The mounting mechanism for the scoop causes the scoop to assume a relatively vertical position during scooping, to minimize formation of a wave of litter in front of the scoop as it is rotated, but causes the scoop to assume a more horizontal position as the scoop is removed, so the collected waste will not spill from the scoop during removal.

Title: Isolated dna molecules encoding humanized calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor, related non-human transgenic animals and assay methods
Inventor: KOBLAN KENNETH S
IPC: C12N9/64
Filed: 2002-09-26
Abstract: Disclosed herein are isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding a humanized version of a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor, which comprises the G-protein coupled receptor calcitonin-receptor-like receptor (CRLR) and the receptor-activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1). The humanized CGRP  receptors of the present invention attain pharmacological profiles similar to the wild type human receptor via modifications to the respective mammalian RAMP1 nucleotide sequence, specifically at amino acid 74. Also described are related recombinant vectors, recombinant hosts and associated methods for generating such humanized CGRP receptors. Also presented are non-human transgenic animals which express humanized RAMP1. Such animals have been engineered to provide for a CGRP pharmacological profile similar to human CGRP. Antagonist of CGRP function may be useful in the treatment of various disorders such as migraine headaches, pain indications, menopausal hot flashes, migraine prophylaxis, chronic tension type headache, cluster headache, neurogenic or chronic inflammation, gastrointestinal disorders, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disorders.

Patent CA-2485848-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GREBER ERICH
IPC: B23H7/26
Filed: 2004-10-25
Abstract: The clamping apparatus comprises a first coupling element and a second coupling element that can be releasably attached thereto. The first coupling element is provided with four at least partially conical centering pins that are adapted to engage four grooves correspondingly arranged on the second coupling element. Both coupling elements have stop surfaces serving as Z references, cooperating upon clamping together the two coupling elements to determine the position of the second coupling element with regard to the first coupling element in Z-direction once they are clamped together. Tree centering pins are, in relation to the grooves, designed such that each centering pin rests only on one flank of the associated groove. Thus, a gap remains between the centering pin and the other flank of the groove. Out of the overall eight groove flanks of the four grooves, the centering pins rest on in each case two pairs of diametrically opposite flanks, while they do not rest on the two further pairs of oppositely located flanks.
