Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing a viscous fluid food product from a pouch. The dispenser includes a housing configured and dimensioned for receiving the pouch. The pouch includes a food in the form of a viscous fluid therein. The pouch has first and second ends, a sidewall that can be arranged to form first and second opposed surfaces and an outlet. The dispenser incorporates an assembly that includes a roller for pressing the pouch so as to urge the viscous fluid food product toward the outlet. To do this, the roller has a pressing surface disposable in a position adjacent the first surface of the pouch and a planar surface disposed adjacent the second surface of the pouch. The dispenser also includes a closure assembly arranged for engagement with the outlet for closing same. This assembly is also capable of opening the outlet so as to cause the roller to move along the pouch surface toward the outlet by gravity for expelling the viscous fluid food product through the outlet.

Abstract: A storage card module having a front panel card component and
a rear panel transition module disposed on a backplane in accordance
with the Compact Peripheral Component Interconnect (CPCI) bus
standard, wherein the front panel card component is provided with at
least one Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) storage medium
drive. Power is supplied to the SCSI drive from a CPCI bus connector
on the backplane, whereas a user-defined I/O connector on the backplane
provides interconnection between the drive and the SCSI bus that is
coupled to an I/O controller via an interface formed on the real panel
transition module. Bus cabling coupled via the user-defined I/O
connector may be used to daisy-chain other SCSI-based cards, mass

Title: Turbine
Inventor: GARRETT STEVEN
IPC: F01D17/16
Filed: 2001-10-12
Abstract: A turbine in which a turbine wheel is mounted in a housing between an inlet
and an outlet. Rotatably mounted vanes are located in the inlet and coupled by
linkages to an actuator which is displaceable relative to the vanes so as to control the
angular orientation of the vanes relative to the housing inlet. Each vane is coupled to
the actuator by a flexible link, the ends of the link being secured to the vanes and
actuator in a manner which prevents relative movement between the link ends and the
vane or the actuator. Flexing of the links thus accommodates the rotation of the vanes
which results from actuator displacements.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de refroidissement permettant une réfrigération ou une congélation ultra-rapide. Le procédé consiste à faire circuler un fluide de refroidissement au moyen d'un circulateur submergé, tel qu'un moteur, à une vitesse sensiblement constante en défilement par rapport à une substance à refroidir; on maintient la vitesse de débit du fluide malgré les modifications dans la viscosité du fluide de refroidissement, soit en accroissant ou en réduisant la valeur de couple fourni par le moteur; ensuite on refroidit le fluide de refroidissement à une température souhaitée en faisant circuler le fluide en défilement par rapport à un serpentin échangeur de chaleur à canaux multiples relié au système de réfrigération. Un fluide de refroidissement optimal pour diverses utilisations se trouve compris entre environ -24 °C et -26 °C, permettant ainsi des gains de performance considérables par rapport aux procédés de refroidissement classiques.

Abstract: Selon la présente invention, l'administration par voie orale de compositions immunogènes permet d'induire une protection contre les pathogènes bactériens, viraux ou autres, en l'absence d'une réponse anticorps. Dans une forme de réalisation, la composition antigénique est une plante transgénique exprimant un déterminant antigénique dudit pathogène, dans une autre forme de réalisation, la composition antigénique est une entérotoxine qui peut être administrée avec un aliment ou avec une plante transgénique dans laquelle elle a été incorporée. Selon l'invention, l'administration de ces compositions immunogènes suivant des quantités traditionnellement inférieures à la pratique clinique qui sont insuffisantes pour générer une réponse anticorps, assure la protection contre l'attaque ultérieure par un pathogène particulier.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a method for identifying one or more regions within a genome of an organism of interest that mediate the expression of one or more genes of interest. The method comprises identifying a first and a second organism of interest, the first organism of interest is characterized by exhibiting a measurable response to an environmental stimulus, or otherwise exhibiting a phenotype associated with differential gene expression associated with a process of interest. The second organism of interest is characterized by lacking or not exhibit as strong a response to the stimulus as that observed within the first organism of interest, or it exhibits a different phenotype compared with that of the first organism of interest, wherein the different phenotype is associated with the process of interest, or it exhibits a phenotype of interest that segregates when compared with the first organism of interest, or a combination thereof. The first and second organisms of interest are crossed to produce a population of segregated progeny and RNA is extracted from each of the segregated progeny. The level of gene expression for one or more genes of interest that are associated with the response to an environmental stimulus, or process of interest is quantified. A linkage map of the segregated progeny using one or more markers is prepared, and the relationship between said one or more markers on the linkage map and the gene expression of the one or more genes of interest is determined and one or more quantitative trait loci (QTL) identified. This method also pertains to identifying one or more QTLs associated with one or more genes of interest in segregated progeny that are subjected a desired environmental stimulus. Furthermore, this method may be used for the identification of one or more QTL corresponding to a transcription factor or any factor controlling the expression of one or more genes of interest, and the one or more genes located at the one or more QTL may be isolated and characterized.
