Patent CA-2610683-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LUNDQUIST HENRIK
IPC: A21D8/04
Filed: 2005-09-23
Abstract: Dough with a high sucrose content (such as cake dough) tends to inhibit the activity of an anti-staling amylase such as Novamyl, making it less effective to prevent the staling of dough-based products with high sucrose content such as cakes. A good anti-staling effect in cakes can be achieved by using a carefully selected anti-staling amylase with certain properties. Analysis of a 3D structure of Novamyl shows that sucrose may inhibit by binding in the active site. Sucrose docks into the active site of Novamyl differently from the substrate or inhibitor in published models 1QHO and 1QHP. This finding is used to design sucrose-tolerant variants.

Title: Devices and methods for ligating uterine arteries
Inventor: GUENTHER KEVIN V
IPC: A61B17/04
Filed: 2006-06-06
Abstract: A system for ligating a uterine artery in a patient generally includes a suture transfer tool (40), suture transfer darts (60, 61), and one or more sutures (62, 64).

The suture transfer darts are configured to be tissue piercing and are positionable within the suture capturing pins.  Each end of the suture is connected to a suture transfer dart. When operating the tool, the suture transfer darts pierce through the tissue to either side of a patient's cardinal ligament, which contains the uterine artery, and simultaneously present an end of the suture to either side of the cardinal ligament. As such, the suture is in an open loop configuration about the cardinal ligament and can be tied tight to the ligament to occlude the uterine artery.
