Inventor: DEPOLI STEVEN C
IPC: C02F9/02
Filed: 2001-02-26
Abstract: A wastewater treatment system for use on marine vessels or land-based applications treats wastewater by solids separation and oxidation. The system includes a solids separation tank, an oxidation tank having a plurality of chambers and a fluid circuit for recirculating treated wastewater into the solids separation tank and oxidation tank for further treatment.

Title: Oligomers which inhibit expression of collagen genes
Inventor: KOVACS ATTILLA
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1999-08-06
Abstract: Oligomers which inhibit expression of a collagen gene are described. It is believed that each oligomer, when introduced into a cell, forms a transcription-inhibiting complex composed of the oligomer and the collagen-gene promoter region. The oligomer, preferably a phosphorothioate deoxyoligonucleotide or a ribonucleotide, preferably binds in the antiparallel orientation to the polypurine strand of a polypurine-polypyrimidine region of the promoter region of a mammalian .alpha.1(I) collagen gene.

Patent CA-2344880-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GALARNEAU PIERRE
IPC: G02B5/18
Filed: 1995-11-16
Abstract: A method for spatially controlling the period and amplitude of Bragg filters in an optical medium having a longitudinal axis that is sensitive to at least some wavelength of electromagnetic radiation. A phase mask of period A is laid close to the optical medium at an angle a with respect to the longitudinal axis of the optical medium. A  single beam of electromagnetic radiation is directed at an incidence angle ~ with respect to normal incidence on the phase mask so that the radiation is diffracted, resulting in an interference pattern having a period P impinged into the optical medium so that the period P of the interference pattern may be altered by changing the incidence angle ~ or the angle .alpha.. This method is simpler, more flexible and more suitable for mass production than existing methods.

Title: Code-based optical networks, methods, and apparatus
Inventor: MOSSBERG THOMAS W
IPC: H04B10/43
Filed: 1999-11-17
Abstract: Optical communication systems (110) include a central station (103) that encodes data transmitted to multiplexing stations (111, 113) or user stations (117).      The central station (103) also decodes data received from the multiplexing stations (111, 113) or user stations (117). Encoding and decoding are performed using codes, such as composite codes, that designate sources and destinations for data. The multiplexing stations (111, 113), user stations (117), and the central station (103) have address encoders and decoders that use, for example, fiber Bragg gratings to encode or decode optical signals according to a code such as a composite code derived by combining codes from one or more sets of codes. A passive optical network comprises one or more levels of multiplexing stations (111, 113) that use such address decoders and encoders to receive, decode, and encode data for transmission toward a central station (103) or a user station (117).

Patent CA-2368387-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CATANIA ANNA PIA
IPC: A61K9/12
Filed: 2000-03-17
Abstract: The peptide a-melanocyte stimulating hormone (a-MSH) is found in barrier organs such as the gut and skin. The anti-inflammatory properties of the peptide make it useful for treating inflammation in human and veterinary disorders. It has been found that this peptide, and other peptides derived from a-MSH, possess antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. These a-MSH peptides exhibited antimicrobial effects over a broad concentration range, including the physiological (picomolar)range. Of particular interest are those peptides that include the amino acid sequence KPV, or those including the sequence MEHFRWG. Peptides having the most potent antimicrobial activity were those bearing the C-terminal amino acid sequence of a-MSH. Anti-inflammatory agents based on a-MSH peptides, with enhanced antimicrobial activity, would minimize the risk of further infection that is generally associated with treatments using coticosteroids or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
