Patent CA-2543415-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WALKER KENT G
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 2004-10-22
Abstract: To broadcast different types of transmission having different tiers of coverage in a wireless broadcast network, each base station processes data for a wide-area transmission in accordance with a first mode (or coding and modulation scheme) to generate data symbols for the wide-area transmission and processes data for a local transmission in accordance with a second mode to generate data symbols for the local transmission. The first and second modes are selected based on the desired coverage for wide-area and local transmissions, respectively. The base station also generates pilots and overhead information for local and wide-area transmissions. The data, pilots, and overhead information for local and wide-area transmissions are multiplexed onto their transmission spans, which may be different sets of frequency subbands, different time segments, or different groups of subbands in different time segments. More than two different types of transmission may also be multiplexed and broadcast.

Patent CA-2568409-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KROTZSCH GOMEZ FERNANDO EDGAR
IPC: A61K38/39
Filed: 2005-05-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a chronic articular inflammation-modulating composition which uses collagen-polyvinylpyrrolidone. Collagen turnover is modulated using collagen-PVP in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, since the biocomplex negatively regulates collagenolytic activity and increases the content of type III collagen and TIMP-1 to levels similar to those observed in normal synovia. In this way, the chronic inflammatory process is altered by the collagen-PVP, as described above, owing to the negative regulation of IL-1, the TNF- of IL-8 and the adhesion molecules, since said molecules can induce the expression and activation of collagenolytic enzymes, as well as the proliferation and migration of synovial cells by means of the adhesive mechanisms including the adhesion molecules, and the induction and activation of Cox-1. In addition to cellular anchoring, the interaction of the extracellular matrix integrins generates signals which regulate the expression of MMPs, suggesting that the adhesion molecules can also play a part in tissue destruction associated with rheumatoid arthritis.  Moreover, the decrease in the synthesis of TNF- and IL-1 appears to stimulate the cell death of synoviocytes by means of apoptosis, which, in turn, seems to contribute to the inhibition of the proliferation of synovial cells, the formation of pannus and the destruction of the articular tissue.
