Title: Catalytic nucleic acids (proto-nucleozyme), and their use for detecting agents by catalytic activity of proto-nucleozyme with a co-factor forming a nucleozyme(ribozyme)
Inventor: ASHER NATHAN
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1997-08-26
Abstract: An isolated proto-nucleozyme, being a nucleic acid molecule or a complex of nucleic acid molecules, with essentially no catalytic activity but which can complex with a specific non-nucleic acid co-factor to form a nucleozyme possessing catalytic activity, the co-factor being a molecule or a moiety within the molecule.  The proto-nucleozyme lacks a component essential for the catalytic activity of the nucleozyme, and the co-factor provides a component thereby converting the proto-nucleozyme into the nucleozyme.

Title: Concrete reinforcing fiber with dead anchor release means to reduce stress at overloading conditions
Inventor: BANTHIA NEMKUMAR
IPC: C04B14/38
Filed: 1998-07-16
Abstract: A reinforcing fiber for concrete is formed with two types of anchors positioned adjacent to each axial end of the fiber.

Title: System for detecting the status of a vent associated with a fluid supply upstream of an infusion pump
Inventor: VANDERVEEN TIMOTHY W
IPC: A61M5/142
Filed: 2004-12-31
Abstract: A system for detecting the status of a vent associated with a fluid container is disclosed. The vent is located upstream of an infusion pump, which draws fluid out of the container through a fluid line. The vent has an open status which allows air to vent into the container as fluid is drawn out resulting in pressure in the fluid line reducing at a rate expected under normal venting conditions. The vent also has a blocked status at which venting of air into the container is blocked as fluid is drawn out resulting in pressure in the fluid line progressively reducing at a rate in excess of the expected rate. The system comprises of a pressure sensor and a processor. The pressure sensor is located upstream of the pump, and is provides the pressure within the fluid line upstream of the pump mechanism. The processor samples the pressure over a plurality of selected pump cycles. The processor then computes an average pressure value. This is done to determine a progressive reduction in pressure in the fluid line and to generate a blocked vent alert when the reduction in pressure is in excess of the expected rate.
