Patent CA-2403275-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAMMEN RICHARD F
IPC: B01J41/12
Filed: 2001-03-14
Abstract: The present invention relates in general to the preparation and use of matrices having solid spaces, interstitial spaces and interstitial polymer networks. In particular, the interstitial polymer networks have utility in chemical and biochemical separations, solid phase synthesis, catalysis of chemical reactions, and immobilized enzyme reactors. The interstitial polymer networks in one embodiment comprise crosslinked polymers suspended in the interstitial spaces from and/or between solid particles. The matrices are characterized by high ligand and functional group density and by reversible high sorptive and binding capacity, and are substantially accompanied by a very low nonspecific adsorption or interaction with molecules such as proteins. Moreover, the matrices of the invention exhibit other characteristics highly desirable in chromatographic and catalytic applications, such as high physical rigidity, high ligand density, chemical stability, high ligand reactivity, and rapid exchange and reaction kinetics.

Title: Device and method for synchronising a system of coupled data processing facilities
Inventor: FRIEDLI MARKUS
IPC: G06F9/52
Filed: 2001-06-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for synchronising coupled multi-computer systems, in particular those used in railway technology. Said system and method increase availability and reliability. Multi-computer systems that use the inventive system only require one hardware timing module, thus eliminating the risks caused by a synchronisation of hardware timing modules.  In order for a coupled computer (R1, R2) to have a clock pulse (pulse), the latter is simulated by the time synchronisation method. As each computer (R1, R2) is usually equipped with a hardware timing module, the allocation of the active hardware timing module to a computer (R1, R2) can be altered if necessary. Subsystem steps (RD, PC1, PC2, OT) have been introduced into the inventive system to maintain an appropriate separation of the synchronisation process (SYN & CHK) from the applications (APP). Said subsystem steps (RD, PC1, PC2, OT) are independent of the operating system (OS-LAY) and the hardware (HW-LAY). This permits the division of applications (APP) into constant elements without the system having to take into consideration the task of the application (APP). Synchronisation points for a validity check are defined between said steps.

Title: Seam plate for retaining roof decking membrane
Inventor: KOBETSKY ROBERT G
IPC: F16B43/00
Filed: 2002-11-27
Abstract: A seam plate for use in connection with securing membrane sheets to underlying roof decking substructure com-prises a substantially rectangular plate having a central aperture for receiving a bolt fastener. Upstanding rib structure is provided upon the plate so as to provide dif-ferent regions thereof with different rigidity, flexibility, and bendability properties. The rib structure can have, for example, a substantially diamond-shaped configuration or an X-shaped configuration for respectively providing corner re-gions of the plate with increased or decreased flexibility.      A plurality of downwardly extending projections, having sub stantially V-shaped cross-sectional configurations, are pro-vided upon the underside of the seam plate so as to engage the membrane sheets and retain the same at their desired locations upon the underlying roof deck substructure assem-bly. The projections are arranged within longitudinally and transversely separated pairs so as to be dispersed through-out the extent of the plate so as to distribute pressure loads throughout the underlying membrane and thereby pre-vent tearing and rupture of the underlying membrane.

Inventor: SCHOFIELD JULIAN
IPC: A61P3/00
Filed: 2001-06-25
Abstract: The present invention relates to use of GPI-PLD antagonists for the prevention, treatment and diagnosis of pre-eclampsia. The substantial GPI-PLD  activity is present in the placenta in pre-eclampsia is not expressed in the placenta, but rather is taken up from the maternal circulation. As a result, abnormal or dysregulated GPI-PLD activity present in the placenta in pre-eclampsia may be correctable by administration of GPI-PLD to the mother to correct the problems caused by abnormal or dysregulated GPI-PLD, e.g. to reduce the abnormal release and in situ production of placental IPGs involved in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia. This can be achieved using exogenous GPI-PLD or a fragment thereof, e.g. an inactive GPI-PLD capable of competing with or displacing the abnormal or dysregulated GPI-PLD, e.g. from Apo-A1.
