Patent CA-2171651-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MIOTTO BENIAMINO
IPC: A47C7/40
Filed: 1996-03-13
Abstract: A mechanism for adjusting the height of a back relative to a seat in a seating assembly having a support member interconnecting the seat and the back.  A recess is formed in an upright portion of the support member, and a toothed rack is secured within the recess.  The upright portion of the support member is slidably engage-able with a box-like unit secured to the back, and an engagement member is mounted to the box-like unit and disposed within the recess formed in the support member upright portion.  The engagement member includes engage-ment structure selectively engageable with certain of the rack teeth to fix the position of the back relative to the support member.  A biasing element urges the engage-ment member to an engagement position in which the en-gagement structure is engaged with certain of the one or more teeth.  The biasing element also functions to retain the engagement member in a disengaged position when the back is fully raised, for enabling the back to be lowered without engagement of the engagement structure with the rack teeth.  Release structure is engageable with the engagement member when the back is fully lowered so as to disengage the engagement member from the biasing element in preparation for subsequent positioning of the back by raising the back relative to the seat.

Patent CA-2172316-A1 (CA)
Title: Optical connector assembly
Inventor: ANDERSON JERRY MAX
IPC: G02B6/36
Filed: 1996-03-21
Abstract: A connector 10 for terminating an optical fiber includes a cylindrical ferrule 140 and a base member 150.  An axial passageway 145 extends between end faces 141-142 of the ferrule and is adapted to receive an uncoated end portion of the optical fiber.  The passageway has a generally circular cross section whose diameter is substantially constant along its entire.  In particular, the ferrule does not include an entry funnel at either end face for guiding fiber into the passageway.  Rather, the base member, which holds an end portion of the ferrule, includes a funnel region for this purpose.  The base member is molded around the ferrule by a process known as insert molding.  And because the funnel is exclusively present in the base member, the need to etch, grind or fire polish a funnel in the ferrule no longer exists.  The cylindrical ferrule is made from a drawn glass tube whose outer surface has a diameter of approximately 1.25 mm, and whose axial passageway is concentric with the outer surface.  The ferrule includes a generally flat region 148 near, but not contiguous with, an end face 141 for preventing rotation and removal of the ferrule from the basemember.
Patent CA-2174166-A1 (CA)
Title: Pallet deck with strain reliefs
Inventor: BADGER DAVID W JR
IPC: B65D19/00
Filed: 1996-04-15
Abstract: The field of invention relates to a corrugated cardboard pallet of the type generally formed by a pair or more of pallet decks which are stacked atop one another, each of which has finger elements die cut therein radiating outwardly from a central circle and terminating on a circular score line of substantially the same diameter as the inner diameter of one of the leg elements.  The die cut lines for the fingers radiate tangentially outwardly to create a substantially spiral pattern.  The improvement of the present invention is the provision of stress relief circular punch-out sections positioned adjacent the circular score line and having a diametric dimension extending inwardly from the score line in the direction of the central circle and laterally on each side of each of the die cut lines.  The stress relief punch-out sections function to relieve the stress caused when the finger elements are folded downwardly in order to accept the attachment of the pallet legs to the pallet deck.

Title: Subtitle encoding/decoding method and apparatus
Inventor: TSUKAGOSHI IKUO
IPC: H04N19/102
Filed: 1996-07-23
Abstract: Subtitle searching is achieved by encoding a subtitle to be displayed exclusively during a trick playback mode.      Addresses for the subtitle to be played back during the trick playback mode are stored on a record medium reserved for addresses. A computer-readable memory directs a computer to retrieve these addresses and locate subtitles to be displayed during the trick playback mode on the record medium. The subtitles are searched by decoding and displaying the subtitles located at the addresses on the record medium to be displayed during the trick playback mode.

Title: Method and device for detection of specific target cells in specialized or mixed cell populations and solutions containing mixed cell populations
Inventor: FODSTAD OYSTEIN
IPC: B01D63/08
Filed: 1995-03-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for detecting specific target cells in a simple and time-saving way, using paramagnetic particles, antibodies recognizing the Fe portions of target-cell associating antibodies and target-cell associating antibodies directed to specific antigen determinants in the target-cell membranes. Incubation of the cell suspension with detergent and/or second antibodies or antibody fragments, prelabeled or not with fluorescent agents, metallocolloids, radioisotopes, biotin complexes or certain enzymes allowing visualization, dramatically increase the specificity of the method. The method and apparatus described provides a solid support and permanent record which is easily viewed by microscopy, permits viewing and quantification of the whole specimen rather than small fractions thereof and allows the use of large specimen volumes to be analysed, the device may also be scanned automatically by conventional densitometric technology. The method and apparatus can be used for isolation of the target cells by magnetic field application, and a kit and apparatus for performing the method according to the invention is described.

Patent CA-2193999-A1 (CA)
Title: Borosilicate glass
Inventor: STIEBERT DIETMAR
IPC: C03C3/093
Filed: 1996-04-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a borosilicate glass with a linear thermal expansion between 20 and 300 ~C of 3.9 to 4.5*10-6 K-1 for the production of laboratory, household, pharmaceutical container, lamp and flat glass and other special technical glasses which can be fully electrically melted and conditioned in cold-top conditions. For fixing the glass composition, this requires, besides the attainment of the desired glass properties, a consideration of the specifics of the fully electric melting process and therefore results in a limited range of variation of several glass oxides, the exclusion of the use of some raw materials, the choice of suitable refining agents, etc. The composition of the glass is SiO2 + ZrO2 77,0 to 81,0 % wt.; B2O3 + Na2O + K2O  + CaO + MgO + BaO 16,0 to 18,5 % wt.; of which Na2O + K2O + CaO + MgO + BaO  5,4 to 7,0 % wt.; of which CaO + MgO + BaO to 0,9 % wt.; Al2O3 3,7 to 4,9 %  wt.; Cl- 0,05 to 0,4 % wt.; CeO 0,0 to 1,0 % wt.; with the relations: ratio CaO + MgO + BaO / ZrO2 0,0 to 1,5; ratio Na2O + K2O + CaO + MgO + BaO / B2O3 +  SiO2 + Al2O3 + ZrO2 0,060 to 0,075. Only NaC1 or KC1 is used as a refining agent. A change between this glass and borosilicate glass 3.3 is reversible, repeatable as often as desired and possible within a short time.
