Title: Battery safety device and battery having the same
Inventor: HA SOO-HYUN
IPC: H01M10/50
Filed: 2005-04-12
Abstract: Disclosed is a battery safety device adapted to form an electrical circuit when compressed by a predetermined pressure or higher and convert the charged state of a battery to the discharged state, a battery having the safety device, and a method for adjusting the safety of a battery by converting the charged state of the battery to the discharged state, before the battery is damaged by a pressure, through an electrical circuit formed on a safety device by means of the pressure. The safety device has a first metal plate, a second metal plate, and a pressure-sensitive conducting film interposed between both metal plates and adapted to exhibit electrical conductivity when a predetermined pressure or higher is applied. The first and second metal plates are electrically connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, respectively. The safety device connected to a battery prevents the battery from being damaged or at least from igniting or exploding, even when an external impact caused by a pressure, a nail, or a nipper or an external pressure is applied to the battery, by conducting the current of the battery to the safety device and discharging the battery before the battery is damaged by the external impact or external pressure.

Abstract: A therapeutic oligomer-peptide conjugate, and methods of using the conjugate are disclosed. The conjugate includes (a) a substantially uncharged oligonucleotide analog compound having a base sequence that includes a string of bases that are complementary to four or more contiguous cytosine bases in a target nucleic acid region to which the compound is intended to bind, and (b) conjugated to the compound, an arginine-rich peptide effective to enhance the uptake of the compound into target cells. The string of bases in the compound includes at least one inosine base positioned in the string so as to limit the number of contiguous guanine bases in said string to three or fewer. The conjugate has greater cellular uptake than the compound alone, by virtue of the arginine-rich peptide, and substantially greater antisense activity greater activity than the conjugate in the absence of inosine-for guanine substitutions.

Patent CA-2576243-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for monitoring glucose levels in a biological tissue
Inventor: SHAKESPEARE WALTER J
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2005-07-27
Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a low coherence interferometer is used to non-invasively monitor the concentration of glucose in blood by shining a light over a surface area of human or animal tissue, continuously scanning the light over a two dimensional area of the surface, collecting the reflected light from within the tissue and constructively interfering this reflected light with light reflected along a reference path to scan the tissue in depth.  Since the reflection spectrum is sensitive to glucose concentration at particular wavelengths, measurement and analysis of the reflected light provides a measure of the level of glucose in the blood. The measurement of glucose is taken from multiple depths within blood-profused tissue, and sensitivity is preferably enhanced by the use of multiple wavelengths. Noise or speckle associated with this technique is minimized by continuously scanning the illuminated tissue in area and depth.
