Patent CA-2493166-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARTRUG BRUCE A
IPC: C03C27/10
Filed: 2003-07-16
Abstract: A laminate, e.g. a heatable windshield has a pair of glass sheets laminated together about a member responsive to electrical stimuli, e.g. changes transmission or is heated as current passes through the member A pair of spaced bus bars is in surface contact with the conductive member, and a lead assembly associated with each of the bus bars has a lead in contact with its respective bus bar and extends beyond the periphery of the sheets. The lead assembly further includes first and second air barriers to prevent air from moving between the sheets after the edge sealing procedure and during autoclaving of the laminate subassembly. End portions of each of the bus bar extend beyond the perimeter of the coating into the uncoated area to minimize, if not eliminate hot spots at the end portions of the bus bars. Additional embodiments to reduce hot spots includes not having the side portions of the coating between the bus bars extend beyond the ends of the longest bus bar, and reducing the space between the bus bars while maintaining the bus bars outside the vision area of the windshield.

Abstract: It is intended to provide a process for producing multipotential stem cells characterized by comprising culturing testoid cells with the use of a medium containing glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) or its equivalent to thereby give multipotential stem cells. The above-described medium may further contain leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), etc. By using this process, multipotential stem cells, which can be obtained exclusively from a fertilized egg or an embryo by the existing methods, can be produced from an individual after birth. By using these multipotential stem cells, various tissues having favorable tissue compatibility for autotransplantation can be constructed, which makes them useful in medical fields including regeneration therapy and gene therapy. Moreover, these multipotential stem cells are usable in constructing a transgenic animal and a knockout animal, which makes them useful in the field of biotechnology.
