Patent CA-2301253-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WOODY ROBERT S
IPC: A61B19/02
Filed: 1998-08-12
Abstract: A method for containing potentially infectious devices. The potentially infectious devices are deposited in a container which contains a monomer, a reducing agent and water. An oxidizing agent is later added to cause polymerization of the monomer to immobilize the devices, and to act as a disinfecting agent due in large part to the exothermic nature of the reaction.  In an alternate embodiment, the composition contains a monomer, a thickener and water. Before use, this solution is admixed with an oxidizing and reducing agent and the thickened solution is poured into a container having disposed therein potentially infectious devices. Related methods, kits, devices, and compositions are also disclosed.

Patent CA-2313006-A1 (CA)
Title: Rapid acquisition magnetic resonance imaging using radial projections
Inventor: MISTRETTA CHARLES A
IPC: G01R33/563
Filed: 1998-12-11
Abstract: High resolution and high speed MR imaging is provided for imaged objects in which the brightness of the imaged objects dominates the surrounding tissues by using sparse angular sampling and projection acquisition techniques. Individual objects throughout a large field of view are imaged at a rate and resolution normally associated with small field of view techniques. For applications such as angiography, artifacts associated with sparse angular sampling are acceptable. Volume images are acquired by combining sparsely sampled ejection in two dimensions with weighted Fourier acquisition in the third dimension.

Title: Gate for injection molding rubber compounds
Inventor: WHITE JOHN RICHARD
IPC: B29C45/27
Filed: 2000-09-25
Abstract: A combination rubber injection gate system (24) and method of injection molding rubber to produce desired flow patterns in the rubber is disclosed. The combination gate (24) directs rubber through a first region (26) to flow at cross angles (38, 40) through the injection gate (24), relative to the direction of flow of the rubber (22) through the injection gate (24).  The rubber (22) is then directed through an adjacent region (28) to flow through the injection gate (24) at a direction parallel to the direction of flow of the rubber (22) through the entire injection gate (24). The combination gate (24) yields a highly mixed and uniform flow of rubber (22) that is particularly useful when injection molding fiber-loaded rubber where it is desired to orient the fibers in a particular direction.

Title: Positron emission tomography using gallium-68 chelates
Inventor: MCBRIDE WILLIAM J
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1999-05-06
Abstract: A method of delivering Ga-68 to a target site is effected by administering a bi-specific antibody which specifically binds via a primary binding site to a substance produced by or associated with the target site and which specifically binds via a secondary binding site to a subsequently administered chelate-Ga-68 complex, and allowing the antibody to localize at the target site; optionally administering a clearing agent to clear non-localized bi-specific antibody rapidly from circulation; and administering a chelate-Ga-68 complex comprising Ga-68 chelated to Ac-Phe-Lys(DTPA)-Tyr-Lys(DTPA)-NH2 and allowing the chelate-Ga-68 complex to localize at the target site via specific binding by the secondary binding site of the bi-specific antibody.  The targeted complex then can be used for PET imaging to give highly resolved images. Alternatively, the Ac-Phe-Lys(DTPA)-Tyr-Lys(DTPA)-NH2 can be conjugated to a targeting antibody fragment and used to elute Ga-68 from a generator, after which it is infused into a patient for direct targeting of the Ga-68 for PET imaging.  Reagents and methods of making and using them also are provided.

Title: Transgenic microbial polyhydroxyalkanoate producers
Inventor: PEOPLES OLIVER P
IPC: C12N1/21
Filed: 1999-08-17
Abstract: Transgenic microbial strains are provided which contain the genes required for PHA formation integrated on the chromosome. The strains are advantageous in PHA production processes, because (1) no plasmids need to be maintained, generally obviating the required use of antibiotics or other stabilizing pressures, and (2) no plasmid loss occurs, thereby stabilizing the number of gene copies per cell throughout the fermentation process, resulting in homogeneous PHA product formation throughout the production process. Genes are integrated using standard techniques, preferably transposon mutagenesis. In a preferred embodiment wherein multiple genes are incorporated, these are incorporated as an operon.

Abstract: A handle (10) supported pivotably but axially tight on an installation body (20) has a polygonal bar (30) mounted for rotation within a handle neck (12) for actuating a closing mechanism. Two drivers (15, 35) movable relative to each other are engageable in a non--positive and/or a positive way between neighboring surfaces (17, 37) either directly or by means of coupling elements (36, 40, 42) so that a torque transmission from the handle (10) to the polygonal bar (30) is free but is blocked from the polygonal bar (30) to the handle (10) as at least one coupling element (36) is displaced in the direction of the attack. A main portion of a polygonal driver (35) may be concentrically enclosed by a two-shell handle driver (15) having wings (52) with front faces (19) which drive e.g. pairs of spring-loaded roller pins (36) held in a wedge-shaped confining zone (55). Corner areas of indentations (31) of the polygonal driver (35) serve to attack the roller pins (36). Central parts (50) of the handle driver (15) may guide a compression spring (38) which loads engaging balls (47) in an outward direction; recesses (27) of the installation body (20) are associated to the balls (47) at enclosing surfaces (24; 44).
