IPC: A23L1/305
Filed: 1994-07-13
Abstract: Modified .alpha.-lactalbumin, for example of bovine or human origin, comprising fewer phenylalanine residues than wild type .alpha.-lactalbumin may be used as a dietary component for sufferers of hyperphenylalaninemia. Preferably all of the phenylalanine residues are replaced.

Patent CA-2168029-A1 (CA)
Inventor: O'BRIEN JOHN S
IPC: C12N5/0793
Filed: 1994-07-28
Abstract: Prosaposin and peptide derivatives derived therefrom will promote neurite outgrowth in vitro. A peptide consensus sequence was determined by comparing the active neurite outgrowth-inducing saposin C  peptide sequence with that of various hematopoietic and neuropoietic cytokines. These cytokine-derived peptides will promote the same processes as their corresponding cytokines. In addition, prosaposin and saposin C promote increased nerve cell myelination ex vivo.

Patent CA-2174399-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HINDEN MILTON
IPC: B05C5/00
Filed: 1996-04-17
Abstract: A caulk dispenser device for use with conventional caulking cartridges and powered by expanding refrigerant liquid is disclosed.  Expanding gases are released into a chamber defined in part by a housing and in part by the caulk cartridge, the plug or piston within the cartridge forming a boundary of the chamber.  Discharge of the gas directly against the piston is avoided by the interposition of a deflector surface within the housing reducing the tendency of the caulk to increase in viscosity and bond to the walls of the cartridge or to tilt relative to the cartridge.  The propellant liquid-gas material incorporates an increment (e.g. 5%) of perflurocarbon or like compound liquid at ambient temperatures which minimizes the cooling effect resulting from discharge of the gas.  Preferably, the device is fabricated of material having a low thermal conductivity such as polymeric material to thereby reduce the cooling effect on the canister of propellant with resultant loss of pressure.

Title: Apparatus, system and method for treating process material such as waste material
Inventor: ANDERSON JOSEPH
IPC: B09C1/00
Filed: 1994-10-28
Abstract: An apparatus for treating process material includes a vessel into which process material can he introduced, an arrangement for introducing steam into the interior of the vessel to heat and impart moisture to process material in the vessel, and several fluid transport conduits extending helically through the vessel for conveying heated fluid through the vessel between opposite ends of the vessel in order to raise the temperature and pressure within the vessel to treat the material while also allowing the moisture content of the process material to be reduced. The fluid transport conduits are also configured to contact the process material and assist in treating and densifying the material. The vessel can also be adapted to be pivoted so that the forward end of the vessel can be selectively positioned above and below a horizontal position. The vessel can also be interconnected with one or more similarly configured vessels to define a system for treating process material. The system can include an arrangement that allows steam and heat from a hot vessel to be conveyed to a cold vessel. A method for treating process material can include introducing process material into two different vessels, raising the temperature within one of the vessels through the introduction of steam to heat the material in the vessel, and reducing the temperature in the one vessel while also increasing the temperature in the other vessel by venting the interior of the one vessel to the interior of the other vessel.

Abstract: Un système de répartition de fibres optiques comprend un bâti à plusieurs sections destinées à recevoir des modules de connecteurs, associés à des platines d'assemblage de jarretières, et des chemins de câbles supérieurs et inférieurs acheminant des fibres jarretières entre des sections adjacentes. Les platines d'assemblage de jarretières sont structurées de manière à ce que les jarretières inter-sections n'aient pas à subir plus de deux courbures continues de 90~, et également de façon à stocker facilement la partie relâchée excédentaire des jarretières de façon à éviter le bruit modal, même lorsque les deux extrémités de la jarretière se terminent dans le même plateau ou coffret. Chaque module de connecteur possède une pluralité de plateaux fixés pivotant à un coffret au moyen d'un support pivotant qui est placé à côté d'un vide dans la paroi latérale du plateau; ceci permet de placer les fibres entrantes dans le plateau sans avoir besoin de les faire passer dans un oeillet, et cela minimise également la tension des fibres lors du pivotement des plateaux. Des zones de stockage planes avant et arrière sont ménagées pour réceptionner la partie relâchée excédentaire provenant à la fois des fibres entrantes et des fibres de jarretières, et un passage peut réunir des zones pour former des voies de circuit de fibres adaptées sur le plateau. Des nervures de déflection d'embout sont ménagées sur le plateau, ainsi que des nervures limitant le rayon de courbure, afin de maintenir un rayon de courbure correct des fibres jarretières à la sortie du plateau. Un nouvel adaptateur d'acouplement est également ménagé pour permuter une extrémité du dispositif d'interconnexion vers le haut afin de faciliter l'installation d'une fiche de connecteur.

Title: A method for manufacturing castable metal matrix composite bodies and bodies produced thereby
Inventor: BANNING CHARLES ROBERT
IPC: C22B21/06
Filed: 1995-04-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel method for forming cast metal matrix composite bodies. In particular, the present invention relates to a novel method for forming or recycling metal matrix composite bodies so as to render such bodies in a condition for casting or recasting as a cast metal matrix composite body. Specifically, a scrap metal matrix composite body and preferably a scrap cast metal matrix composite body is placed into a crucible, optionally along with unreinforced matrix metal and/or virgin metal matrix composite material. Whether the scrap and/or virgin materials are placed into the crucible in solid or molten form, the contents of the crucible are ultimately rendered molten to form a composite melt. A means for applying high shearing rates to the composite melt, such as an impeller rotating at high speed is immersed into the composite melt and the composite melt is sheared for a time sufficient to comminute any entrained inclusions such as entrapped oxide skins to a size at which such comminuted inclusions are substantially ameliorated in terms of their effect on the fluidity of the composite melt and the mechanical properties of the subsequent cast metal matrix composite bodies. Upon conclusion of the high intensity shearing process, the high power shearing apparatus is removed from the composite melt and the composite melt is cast using appropriate techniques for casting metal matrix composite material. .
