Patent CA-2461501-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHILGER HERBERT K
IPC: E04C2/20
Filed: 2004-03-19
Abstract: A novel building construction is described for exterior building walls. The construction comprises an interior frame formed of a plurality of laterally spaced studs or beams, a layer of rigid insulation adjacent to the exterior side of this steel frame, exterior building cladding adjacent the exterior side of the rigid insulation and a plurality of low conductivity connectors, e.g. insulating plastic connectors or thin metal strips having an insulating plastic foam coating, extending through the layer of rigid insulation and connecting together the exterior cladding and the interior steel studs or beams. Vertical channels are formed adjacent both the inside and outside faces of the insulation layer to remove moisture. This provides the required structural strength with a minimum of thermal conductivity from the warm side to the cold side of the building envelope, while providing exterior drain channels and interior moisture removing channels.

Title: Micro-rna molecules
Inventor: LAGOS-QUINTANA MARIANA
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 2002-09-27
Abstract: In Caenorhabditis elegans, lin-4 and let-7 encode 22- and 21 -nucleotide RNAs, respectively, that function as key regulators of developmental timing. Because the appearance of these short RNAs is regulated during development, they are also referred to as "small temporal RNAs" (stRNAs). We show that many more 21-and 22-nt expressed RNAs, termed microRNAs, (miRNAs), exist in invertebrates and vertebrates, and that some of these novel RNAs, similar to let-7 stRNA, are also highly conserved. This suggests that sequence-specific post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms mediated by small RNAs are more general than previously appreciated.

Abstract: A method of thermally joining plastic eavestrough allows plastic eavestrough systems to be considered in more applications including traditional aluminum eavestrough systems where long lengths of continuous eavestroughs are desired. The method allows end to end joining of plastic eavestrough with a thermal joint therebetween or an angled connection with a thermal joint therebetween. This allows plastic eavestrough systems to be customized on site for improved performance and appearance. Thermally joined plastic eavestrough sections either aligned in an end to end or angled connection are possible.

Title: Detection of odours
Inventor: BAYLISS JUSTIN SHELDON
IPC: G01N33/00
Filed: 2002-12-20
Abstract: Apparatus for detecting a specific target odour comprises: a detector unit adapted to have removably associated therewith a holding unit for housing at least one insect in a predetermined position; means for exposing an insect i n a holding unit associated with the detector unit to a sample of gas to be tested; and means for enabling monitoring of a response of the insect to the sample thereby to detect a response indicative of the target odour. In use o f the apparatus, a holding unit housing at lest one insect that responds in a detectable manner to the target odour is associated with the detector unit. A sample of gas to be tested is supplied to the apparatus, for exposure to the insect or insects in the holding unit. The insect is monitored for a respons e indicative of the target odour, thus enabling determination as to whether or not the target odour is present in the sample. Because the holding unit is n ot part of the detector unit but is removably associated with therewith, the holding unit can be used to transport an insect or insects housed therein fr om a first, remote location, e.g. where insects are raised and conditioned, to a point of use at a second location where the detector unit is located. The detector unit may be a permanent or semi-permanent fixture at a point of use , ormay be in the form of a portable unit. Also disclosed is a method of detecting a specific target odour.

Patent CA-2482353-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TAZZIA CHARLES L
IPC: C09D175/04
Filed: 2004-09-24
Abstract: An aqueous composition includes in dispersion an active hydrogen-functional resin and a uretdione compound. The uretdione compound is a crosslinker for the active hydrogen-functional resin. The uretdione compound does not release volatile by-products during the curing reaction, which reduces regulated emissions and increases the amount of coating solids weight converted to cured coating on the substrate. The aqueous dispersion coating may be made by combining a solid uretdione compound with a molten, water-dispersible resin, salting the water-dispersible resin if necessary, and dispersing the resin mixture in water. The molten, water-dispersible resin may have functionality reactive with the uretdione compound, or the coating composition may contain a further water-dispersible resin having functionality reactive with the uretdione compound.  The coating composition of the invention is applied to a substrate and then cured to produce a cured coating layer on the substrate. In a particular embodiment, the coating composition of the invention is electrodepositable and is coated onto the substrate by electrodeposition.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une charnière à broche recouverte, de profil fin, qui comprend un premier élément charnière, un second élément charnière, et un élément de couverture articulé mécaniquement. Le premier et le second élément charnière sont reliés pivotants par une broche. Ceux-ci peuvent en outre comprendre chacun une patte destinée à être reliée à un objet articulé par charnière, par exemple à une porte ou au montant d'une porte, et au moins un charnon au travers duquel la broche peut être reçue. L'élément de couverture peut être oblong et présente une cavité intérieure, ce qui permet à l'élément de couverture d'être glissé sur la charnière par dissimulation des charnons et des joints entre les éléments charnières. L'élément de couverture présente deux extrémités et peut être mécaniquement raccordé à la broche au niveau d'une ou de ses deux extrémités. Dans un mode de réalisation, au moins une extrémité de la broche peut avoir au moins deux engrenages comprenant une partie d'engrenage. Les extrémités de l'élément de couverture peuvent présenter au moins un support d'engrenage destiné à mettre les engrenages en contact sur l'extrémité de la broche. L'ouverture et la fermeture angulaire du premier et du second élément charnière entraîne le déplacement de l'élément de couverture par rapport à la broche, et fournit ainsi un espace libre supplémentaire qui permet aux charnons des éléments charnières de pivoter à mesure que la charnière est sollicitée.
