Title: Method and apparatus for unloading ribbon rails from rail cars
Inventor: BEERS TIMOTHY M
IPC: E01B29/17
Filed: 2005-02-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus for unloading long ribbon rails which are carried on a transport car on bunks which hold the rails in four or five different tiers each containing eight to ten rails. A special railcar is equipped with a gantry crane which feeds the rails from the bunks into power driven thread boxes. The thread boxed grip the rails and feed them rearwardly onto the railway bed. After the first to rails have been unloaded side by side, the next pair are fed into the thread boxes. The thread boxes feed these rails o ut of the bunks as the train is moved forwardly at the same speed as the rails are fed rearwardly so that the rails are unloaded end to end with the first pair of rails. The railcar has retractable over the road wheels that allow i t to be towed on the roadway to the site of the rail transport.

Title: A new method of expanding cord blood cells
Inventor: DUPUIS NICOLAS
IPC: C12N5/02
Filed: 2005-04-25
Abstract: Based on previous evidence suggesting positive effects of fever on in vivo hematopoiesis, the effect of hyperthermia on the expansion and differentiation of megakaryocytes (MKs) in ex vivo cultures of CB CD34-enriched cells has now been tested. Cells were cultured at 37~C or 39~C for 14 days in cytokine conditions optimized for MK development, and analyzed periodically by microscopy, flow cytometry and colony assays. Compared to 37~C, cultures maintained at 39~C produced much more total cells (5X), MK progenitors (9X) and total MKs (7X), and showed accelerated (3-4 days) and enhanced MK  maturation with increased yields of proplatelets and platelets (11.7X). The increased number of CD34+ cells and myeloid progenitors in the 39~C cultures also suggested a general stimulatory effect of hyperthermia on the expansion of more primitive stem/progenitor cells and of cells of other lineages.

Title: Method and apparatus for operating a control valve by means of a control loop and performing diagnostics of the same
Inventor: JUNK KENNETH W
IPC: F15B5/00
Filed: 2005-03-15
Abstract: A control loop of a control valve is operated using outlet pressure from a pneumatic amplifier as the control parameter. The control loop may be operated continuously in pressure control mode, or may be switchedd from another mode, such as travel control mode, to pressure control mode in response to certain operating conditions such as operation in the cutoff range, operation with the throttling element engaging a travel stop, or as a backup in the event of primary control parameter sensor failure. Operating the control loop in pressure control mode further allows diagnostics to be performed on the control loop components, even when the system is operating in cutoff range or has engaged a travel stop. The diagnostics may be performed using pressure and displacement sensors normally provided with a positioner. A processor may be programmed to receive data from the sensors and generate fault signals according to a logic sub-routine. The logic sub-routine may include calculating mass flow of control fluid through pneumatic amplifier outlet ports and comparing other operating parameters to detect leaks and blockages in the control loop components. Once a fault is detected, the location of the root cause of the fault may be identified by characterizing operating parameters of the control loop at the time of the fault.
Patent CA-2562988-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCCREA JONATHAN
IPC: C22C1/04
Filed: 2005-12-16
Abstract: Fine-grained (average grain size 1nm to 1,000nm) metallic coatings optionally containing solid particulates dispersed therein are disclosed. The fine-grained metallic materials are significantly harder and stronger than conventional coatings of the same chemical composition due to Hall-Petch strengthening and have low linear coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs).  The invention provides means for matching the CTE of the fine-grained metallic coating to the one of the substrate by adjusting the composition of the alloy and/or by varying the chemistry and volume fraction of particulates embedded in the coating. The fine-grained metallic coatings are particularly suited for strong and lightweight articles, precision molds, sporting goods, automotive parts and components exposed to thermal cycling. The low CTEs and the ability to match the CTEs of the fine-grained metallic coatings with the CTEs of the substrate minimize dimensional changes during thermal cycling and prevent premature failure.
