Title: Polishing composition and methods
Inventor: ROULSTON JOHN S
IPC: B24C1/00
Filed: 2003-04-24
Abstract: An unexpanded perlite ore polishing composition is shown. The composition comprises base material having grains of unexpanded perlite ore of a selected distribution of particle sizes which undergo fracturing of the grains as a function of anabrasive force applied to the base material. The selected distribution of particle sizes includes a significant volume of grains of unexpanded perlite ore having a (d90) particle size in a range of about 101 to about 229 ~m. The base material is responsive to an abrasive force being applied thereto during polishing resulting in continued fracturing of the grains of unexpanded perlite ore to yield a final polishing composition having a sufficiently low level of abrasiveness under said abrasive force making it suitable for use in polishing. Compostions for polishing acrylic dentures and CRT tube surfaces using the unexpanded perlite ore polishing composition and methods for polishing the same are also shown.

Abstract: Pre-impregnated carbon fiber layers are superimposed to form a base skin (1). One or more reinforcing layers (9) of carbon fiber prepreg, are located and formed on individual U-section plungers (5). These have rounded edges and their lengths, heights and internal widths correspond with dimensions of the U-shaped stiffeners (2) to be manufactured. Longitudinal edges of the layers are turned down (13) over the height of the plungers, forming rib halves (3a, 3b) of the reinforcing ribs. The plungers are located side-by-side in inverted-U formation. An approximately triangular section (4) or head, is located between the two descending edges (13) which face each other. The entire assembly is compacted, and then inverted through 180[deg]. It is positioned onto the skin, which is laminated-on as a flat, continuous surface, defined by its external face and the meeting of the components described above. The plungers are then retracted.

Title: Method, code, and system for assaying joint deformity
Inventor: BI XIAOLI
IPC: A61B5/103
Filed: 2003-07-22
Abstract: A method, machine-readable code and automated system for assaying or monitoring the extent of joint or bone deformity reported by a summarized score that may include joint space narrowing, bone erosion and periarticular osteoporosis in a joint-degenerative or joint-damaging disease in a subject are disclosed. From a digitized image of one of the subject's straight bone terminated with a joint such as fingers, coordinates of right and left bone contours of a selected middle or proximal phalange are determined, and these coordinates are in turn used to determine the coordinates of a minimum width in the middle region of the phalange and one or more apices in a region adjacent at least one side of a joint of the selected phalange. These latter coordinates are used in selecting a reference joint contour representing normal-bone contour for that phalange, or the contour of the patient phalange from an earlier x-ray image. Guided by the reference joint contour, a region of the selected joint of the patient is analyzed to assay or monitor the extent of joint or bone deformity in the subject.

Title: Treatment of melanoma by reduction in clusterin levels
Inventor: JANSEN BURKHARD
IPC: A61K31/712
Filed: 2003-08-21
Abstract: Treatment of melanoma is achieved through reduction in the effective amount of clusterin in melanoma cells. Thus, in accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for treatment of melanoma in a mammali an subject, preferably a human, comprising the step of administering to the subject a therapeutic agent effective to reduce the effective amount of clusterin in the melanoma cells. The therapeutic agent may be, for example, an antisense ODN or small inhibitory RNA (siRNA) compound targeted to clusterin . The present invention also provides a method for regulating expression of bc l- xL in a subject or cell line comprising administering to the subject or cell line an agent effective to modulate the amount of clusterin expression. In particular, in clusterin expressing cells, the expression of bcl-xL is down- regulated when the effective amount of clusterin is reduced. Such inhibition is significant because bcl-xL is known to act as an inhibitor of apoptosis.< /SDOAB>

Patent CA-2498638-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BETTENCOURT LELAND A
IPC: B25H1/00
Filed: 2005-02-28
Abstract: A lift is provided with a low profile lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism includes a first member pivotally connected to a base, a second member pivotally connected to the first member and a third member pivotally connected to the second member and to the base. When the lifting mechanism is lowered into the bottom position, the first, second and third members rest flat instead of stacked on each other. As a result, it is possible for the lifting mechanism to fit within the height of the base when the lift is in the bottom position. Thus, the overall height of the lifting mechanism in the bottom position is no more than required for the height of the base and the rollers.

IPC: H04B1/713
Filed: 2005-05-26
Abstract: Architecture to reduce or mitigate interference and performance degradation between a wireless local area network (WLAN) and a wireless personal area network (WPAN) device. The architecture defines a paging system that employs a modified paging sequence. Particularly, one aspect includes a frequency selection component, a packet scheduling component and a paging component. The frequency selection component defines a frequency protocol (e.g., adaptive frequency hopping (AFH)), the packet scheduling component defines an alternating paging method (e.g., alternating wireless media access (AWMA)) and the paging component employs the defined frequency protocol and the alternating paging method to generate a modified paging scheme. Additionally, the paging system can employ any non-collaborative frequency hopping protocol, collaborative paging method or channel mask to generate the modified paging sequence. When a connection is created, AWMA can be turned on and after the connection is removed, AWMA can be turned off.

Title: Method for making pullman type breads
Inventor: HOSOYA SEIO
IPC: A21D13/00
Filed: 2004-02-16
Abstract: A process for producing loaf bread which comprises, in the step of adding potassium bromate in preparing a bread dough, adding an aqueous potassium bromate solution so as to improve the solubility of the potassium bromate thus added in the bread dough and promote the chemical decomposition of bromic acid,and further adding ascorbic acid optionally together with ferrous sulfate to thereby prevent bromic acid from remaining in the loaf bread after baking.  The loaf bread produced by this process is advantageous in that, though potassium bromate serving as an excellent bread improving agent is employed, no bromic acid remains in the baked loaf bread and the flavor and taste of the bread are never affected thereby.
