Patent CA-2331659-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BEUDEKER ROBERT FRANCISCUS
IPC: A23K50/10
Filed: 1999-05-14
Abstract: Protein cross-linking enzymes, such as transglutaminase, are used in ruminant feeds in order to improve protein and amino acid utilization by the ruminant.  Previously ruminant feed, such as silage, is subjected to microbial proteolysis both before feeding to the animal (in other words during ensilage, or fodder fermentation) as well as in the rumen resulting in degradation of valuable protein that is of nutritional benefit to the ruminant. In order to decrease the degradation of this protein, and so allow a greater proportion to reach the small intestine of the ruminant, proteins in the feed are cross-linked before they are fed to the animal, or ruminant feed is supplemented with an active protein cross-linking enzyme.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for altering an aggregate gradation mixture of an asphalt concrete mixture. The apparatus includes a heater for heating a layer of existing roadway materials, a milling and mixing auger for milling the heated layer of existing roadway materials and a hopper and conveyor for providing a predetermined amount of treated new usable aggregates to the milling and mixing means for mixing with the heated layer of existing roadway materials in order to produce a new asphalt concrete mixture.  The auger including a plurality of milling bits extending therearound for receiving the predetermined amount of aggregates and mixing them with the milled layer of existing roadway materials, the milling bits are slanted to direct the aggregates received thereby and milled layer to a center line of the apparatus. A second auger is positioned along the center line of the apparatus and behind the auger for further mixing the new asphalt concrete mixture. A shield plate is adjustably secured to the auger for separating and removing selected unusable aggregates from the material. The hopper is preloaded with the predetermined amount of treated new usable aggregates and the conveyor retrieves the aggregates from the hopper and provides the aggregates to the auger. The new mixture formed by the method and apparatus has the volumetric requirements for a superpave mix in accordance with the design system developed by the Strategic Highway Research Program of 1987.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un récepteur sécrétagogue d'hormones de croissance chez la souris qui a été isolé, cloné et séquencé. Ce récepteur est caractéristique de la famille des récepteurs de la protéine G. Les récepteurs sécrétagogues d'hormones de croissance chez la souris peuvent être utilisés pour cribler et identifier des composés se liant au récepteur sécrétagogue d'hormones de croissance chez la souris. De tels composés peuvent être utilisés pour traiter des affections survenant dans des cas de déficit d'hormones de croissance, telles qu'elles peuvent être observées chez des enfants présentant un tel déficit, chez des patients âgés souffrant de déficience musculo-squelettique, ou chez des personnes convalescentes d'une fracture de la hanche ou de l'ostéoporose. Le dérèglement ciblé du gène du GHS-R peut contribuer efficacement à l'élucidation du mécanisme d'action et du rôle des sécrétagogues d'hormones de croissance dans la physiologie humaine ou animale.

IPC: F16P3/14
Filed: 2001-09-11
Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling equipment in response to a proximity signal from one or more chips and sensors for detecting proximity of an individual with respect to a manufacturing device.     A chip can be retained by an individual and a sensor can be mounted on the manufacturing device. When the individual retaining the chip comes into a predetermined proximity with the sensor, the sensor can emit a signal. The signal can be received by an electric control device for disengaging operation of the machine or for placing the machine in a safe mode in response to the signal. The chip and the signal can interact in a first manner where the chip emits a signal receivable by the sensor. Alternatively, the chip and sensor can interact where the sensor emits a signal creating a field for identifying when a chip enters the signal generated field.

Filed: 2000-12-19
Abstract: Utilizing a sequential local search optimization algorithm (30), a determination is made of the cell/transceiver retunes (32) needed to implement, given a current frequency plan, a better frequency plan for a certain cellular communications system. Each of the individual cell/transceiver retunes is evaluated (34) to determine if it meets certain save criteria, and if so, is saved as an intermediate frequency plan (74) in a sequence of saved intermediate frequency plans necessary to migrate from the current frequency plan to the determined near-optimal frequency plan. A  sequential implementation (36) of these intermediate frequency plan revisions is then made to gradually reach, in a known and controlled manner, the better frequency plan.
