Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition that can be used to treat viral infections, particularly HIV. The composition comprises from about 250 mg to about 6000 mg of a benzimidazole derivative of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable organic or inorganic addition salt thereof, wherein X is hydrogen, halogen, alkyl of less than 7 carbon atoms or alkoxy of less than 7 carbon atoms; n is a positive integer of less than 4; Y is hydrogen, chlorine, nitro, oxychloro, methyl or ethyl; R is hydrogen or an alkyl group having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms; and R2 is 4-thiazolyl. The preferred compound is thiabendazole. In the present invention it has been discovered that the compounds described above are useful for the inhibition of HIV and the treatment of HIV infection when used alone or in combination with other anti-viral agents. These compositions can prevent replication of the HIV virus, prevent creation of virus strains that are resistant to treatment with benzimidazoles, prevent or delay infection of cells with HIV virus and delay reappearance of the virus in the treated cells. These compositions are also effective against hepatitis and viruses such as herpes, influenza and rhinoviruses.

Title: Detecteur de capotage a circuit en parallele
Inventor: RENEAU DANIEL
IPC: H01H35/14
Filed: 1999-02-02
Abstract: Ce circuit en parallèle ferromagnétique (34) est monté pivotant dans un logement de manière à constituer un pendule oscillant entre un commutateur à lames (30) et un aimant (32). Tant que le circuit en parallèle demeure entre l'aimant et le commutateur à lames, ce dernier reste ouvert. Le circuit en parallèle est stabilisé ou sollicité entre l'aimant et le commutateur à lames par la force de l'attraction magnétique entre le circuit et l'aimant. La masse du circuit en parallèle agit à la fois comme capteur de dévers (20) et accéléromètre. Le commutateur à lames, l'aimant et le circuit en parallèle sont montés dans un logement (28) qui positionne le commutateur à lames et l'aimant et agit sur la portée maximale de déplacement du circuit en parallèle. L'aimant est placé entre deux bras de pendule (40), ce qui permet au circuit en parallèle d'osciller entre le commutateur à lames et l'aimant.
Patent CA-2332719-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DESGAGNE MICHEL
IPC: H04W36/20
Filed: 1999-05-04
Abstract: A method of reducing co-channel interference in a cellular telecommunication system having a congested serving cell, a plurality of neighbor cells controlled by a mobile switching center (MSC), and an accessing mobile station attempting to access the cellular system in the serving cell. The MSC fetches (16) signal strength information from mobile stations camped on the serving cell's digital control channel (DCCH). The signal strength information includes received signal strengths at the camped mobile stations from the serving cell and the neighbor cells. The MSC then fetches (27) signal strength information from busy mobile stations involved in on-going calls in the serving cell. For each busy and camped mobile station, the expected downlink signal strength from each neighbor cell is subtracted from the maximum downlink signal strength from the serving cell (28). The mobile station/neighbor cell combination with the numerically least difference causes the least co-channel interference when the identified mobile station is moved into the identified neighbor cell. If the identified mobile station is the accessing mobile station (34), the MSC redirects the accessing mobile station to access the cellular system in the identified neighbor cell. If the identified mobile station is a busy mobile station involved in a call, the MSC  forces a handoff of the identified mobile station to the identified neighbor cell.
