Patent CA-2547537-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GONZALEZ BLANCO SONIA
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2004-12-02
Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a novel vaccine antigen which is used preventively or therapeutically against diseases of bacterial, viral, cancerous or other origin. The technical aim of the invention is to develop formulations that can increase the protective spectrum of existing vaccines and extend same against different pathogens. For said purpose, protein NMB0928 was isolated and identified as a component of Neisseria meningitidis outer membrane preparations, which can induce bactericide activity. In addition, the gene coding for protein NMB0928 was cloned and expressed, said protein being purified, and the immunogenicity thereof in animal biomodels was subsequently evaluated. The high conservation level of the sequencing of homologous genes demonstrated the high value thereof as an antigen that induces a cross immune response when presented in different ways. The resulting formulations are suitable for use in the pharmaceutical industry as vaccine formulations for human use.

Title: Gestion de droits numeriques
Inventor: WAIDNER MICHAEL
IPC: G06F21/10
Filed: 2005-01-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes de gestion de licence de logiciel (1, 50, 60), dans lesquels une licence destinée à utiliser un produit logiciel (4, 55, 65) est représentée par un jeton de données (7, 56, 67). Ces systèmes présentent un contrôleur de logiciel (6a, 52a, 62a) destiné à contrôler l'utilisation du produit logiciel au niveau d'un dispositif d'utilisateur (3, 53, 64), et un serveur de gestion de licence (2, 51, 61) pour communiquer avec le contrôleur de logiciel au moyen d'un réseau de communication de données (5, 54, 63). Le contrôleur de logiciel (6a, 52a, 62a) permet d'utiliser le produit logiciel au niveau du dispositif utilisateur, sensiblement seulement pendant une période d'utilisation associée à un jeton de données actuel (7, 56, 67) fourni par le contrôleur de logiciel, au moyen du serveur de gestion de licence (2, 51, 61). Un jeton d'échange peut être fourni à un autre contrôleur de logiciel analogue, si il est nécessaire de transférer la licence, par exemple, en cas de panne. Le contrôleur de logiciel (6a, 52a, 62a) est conçu pour fournir soit le jeton de données actuel, ou le jeton d'échange au serveur de gestion de licence (2, 51, 61), à échanger contre un nouveau jeton de données. Ceci se produit dans deux circonstances: (a) pour étendre la licence pour le produit logiciel, au-delà de la période d'utilisation associée à un jeton de données actuel, fourni par le serveur de gestion de licence, et (b) lorsque le jeton d'échange est reçu pour transférer la licence à partir d'un autre contrôleur de logiciel. Le serveur de gestion de licence fournit le nouveau jeton de données au contrôleur de logiciel, dans lequel il remplace le jeton de données actuel. Le nouveau jeton de données présente une nouvelle période d'utilisation, pendant laquelle l'utilisation du produit logiciel peut continuer. Dans la circonstance (a) la licence est par conséquent étendue, et dans la circonstance (b), la licence est par conséquent transférée à un nouveau contrôleur de logiciel. Le système (1, 50, 60) intègre également un mécanisme pour empêcher ou pour inhiber l'utilisation du produit logiciel (4, 55, 65) sur plusieurs dispositifs d'utilisateur en même temps.

Patent CA-2562037-A1 (CA)
Title: Altered fibronectin-binding protein of staphylococcus aureus
Inventor: BAKER STEVEN MORRIS
IPC: C07K14/315
Filed: 2005-05-17
Abstract: An isolated, altered fibronectin-binding protein (Fnb) of S. aureus having at least one mutation in an amino acid selected'from residues corresponding to GIn103, GIn105, Lys157, Lys503, Lys620, Lys702, Lys762, Gln783 and Gln830 of FnbA of S. aureus strain ATCC49525 is described. Replacement of these reactive residues within the fibronectin-binding protein renders this protein less capable than wild-type Fnb of covalently cross-linking with fibronectin and fibrin. The altered fibronectin~binding protein effectively interferes with adhesion of S. aureus to fibronectin and fibrin, and therefore, an immunogenic composition comprising such altered Fnb exhibits improved immunogenic properties and is safer to use.

Title: Self-contained emergency eye wash station
Inventor: DEMENY RODNEY L
IPC: A61H35/02
Filed: 1996-05-22
Abstract: A self-contained emergency eye wash station for dispensing eye wash fluid contained in a flexible container comprises a housing, a reservoir, and a platen. The housing supports the flexible container and supports a nozzle in fluid communication with the flexible container. The nozzle dispenses the eye wash fluid from the flexible container. The housing includes a drain capturing the eye wash fluid dispensed from the nozzle. The reservoir collects the eye wash fluid captured by the drain, and the reservoir is slidably mounted to the housing. The platen is connected to the reservoir. The platen is slidably movable relative to the housing and is located immediately above the flexible container. The platen presses downward on the flexible container with a downward force proportional to a weight of the eye wash fluid collected in the reservoir. The transfer of the weight of the eye wash fluid collected in the reservoir to the platen maintains a constant flow of eye wash fluid dispensed from the nozzle.
