Granted: 2005-06-28
Abstract: A combustion powered tool has a self-contained internal combustion power source constructed and arranged for creating a combustion for driving a driver blade to impact a fastener and drive it into a workpiece. The tool includes a housing constructed and arranged to enclose the power source, a combustion chamber defined at an upper end of the housing and a cylinder disposed be in fluid communication with the combustion chamber. A valve member is disposed to periodically close the combustion chamber. A  piston is associated with the driver blade and is configured for reciprocal movement within the cylinder between a start position and a driving position. Also included on the tool is a nosepiece having a workpiece contact element configured for contacting a workpiece. The workpiece contact element is movable relative to the nosepiece, and upon such contact, the movement of the workpiece contact element causes the valve member to close the combustion chamber. A delay apparatus is engageable with the workpiece contact element and the linkage for delaying the opening of the combustion chamber by the valve member until the piston returns to the start position after driving the fastener.

Granted: 2005-11-22
Abstract: A dual walled pipe string structure defines an annular cavity between the pi pe walls into which hard granules may be packed to oppose wall collapse when inserted to high pressure well depths. Segments of pipe thus constructed will reduce heat transfer across the pipe string allowing for the conveyance of drilling mud from a surface coole r to a downhole tool with diminished elevation in temperature. The rate of cooled drilling mud transfer to the tool may be controlled to match the heat transfer rates and the heat generated at the tool. To further counteract downhole wall pressures, inert gas at a corresponding pressure may be introduced into the interstices between the granules.

Patent CA-2345514-C (CA)
Title: Locking mechanism for chair and pushbutton control therefor
Inventor: HOBB GORDON DENNIS
IPC: A47C3/026
Filed: 2001-04-26
Granted: 2009-07-21
Abstract: A first chair part may be fixed relative to a second chair part by way of a sliding member attached to the first part which slides in a body attached to the second chair part. The chair parts are fixed relative to each other when a pin associated with the body engages in one of several apertures in the sliding member to fix the chair parts. A bent leaf spring may have an end engaging a collar on the pin. The other end of the leaf spring may be pulled to urge the leaf spring to pivot about a fulcrum created by the bend. However, if there is a force trying to move the sliding member with respect to the body (as may result from a spring between the two chair parts), a consequent shear force on the pin may be sufficiently strong to resist the urging of the leaf spring. In such case, the leaf spring will simply bend when its other end is pulled until the force between the body member and slider is relieved. The other end of the leaf spring may be pulled with an actuator device having a track bearing member with a closed loop track. An actuator member is linked to the other end of the leaf spring and has a track follower received by the track. The actuator member may be pushed against the urging of a spring to move the track follower between first and second locating positions on the track. Movement of the track follower from the first to the second locating position and back again causes no net rotation of the actuator member relative to the track bearing member.

Title: Novel methods for therapeutic vaccination
Inventor: STEINAA LUCILLA
IPC: C07K14/71
Filed: 1999-10-05
Granted: 2013-02-12
Abstract: A method is disclosed for inducing cell-mediated immunity against cellular antigens. More specifically, the invention provides for a method for inducing cytotoxic T-lymphocyte immunity against weak antigens, notably self-proteins.  The method entails that antigen presenting cells are induced to present at least one CTL epitope of the weak antigen and at the same time presenting at least one foreign T-helper lymphocyte epitope. In a preferred embodiment, the antigen is a cancer specific antigen, e.g. PSM, Her2, or FGF8b. The method can be exercised by using traditional polypeptide vaccination, but also by using live attenuated vaccines or nucleic acid vaccination. The invention furthermore provides immunogenic analogues of PSM, Her2 and FGF8b, as well as nucleic acid molecules encoding these analogues. Also vectors and transformed cells are disclosed. The invention also provides for a method for identification of immunogenic analogues of weak or non-immunogenic antigens.
