Title: Plasmid mediated supplementation for treating chronically ill subjects
Inventor: CARPENTER ROBERT H
IPC: A61K38/25
Filed: 2002-12-10
Abstract: The present invention pertains to compositions and methods for plasmid- mediated supplementation. The compositions and method are useful for retarding the growth of the tumor, and retarding cachexia, wasting, anemia and other effects that are commonly associated in cancer bearing animals. Overall, the embodiments of the invention can be accomplished by delivering an effective amount of a nucleic acid expression construct that encodes a GHRH or functional biological equivalent thereof into a tissue of an animal and allowing expression of the encoded gene in the animal. For example, when such a nucleic acid sequence is delivered into the specific cells of the animal tissue specific constitutive expression is achieved. Furthermore, external regulation of the GHRH or functional biological equivalent thereof gene can be accomplished by utilizing inducible promoters that are regulated by molecular switch molecules, which are given to the animal. The preferred method to deliver the constitutive or inducible nucleic acid encoding sequences of GHRH or the functional biological equivalents thereof is directly into the cells of the animal by the process of in vivo electroporation. In addition, a treatment for retarding the growth of the tumor, and retarding cachexia or the wasting effects that are commonly associated with tumors is achieved by the delivery of recombinant GHRH or biological equivalent into the animal.

Title: Ensemble bande elastique pour casquettes
Inventor: YAN SUEN CHING
IPC: A42B1/205
Filed: 2003-03-04
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un ensemble bande élastique (110) pour des casquettes ou pour des chapeaux (100), lequel ensemble comprend une couche repliée supplémentaire constituée d'un matériau élastique servant à renforcer et à maintenir la casquette ou le chapeau. Parce qu'il limite l'extrémité ouverte de la casquette, l'ensemble bande élastique constitue un maintien élastique supplémentaire tel que la casquette peut s'adapter plus solidement et plus étroitement sur un mandrin (M) utilisé au cours d'une opération de broderie. Ce mode de réalisation permet d'obtenir une broderie plus fiable et une plus petite quantité de fils cassés dans la casquette. La bande élastique présente une partie côtelée (124) qui lui permet d'être doublée et fixée sur le matériau de la casquette.

Abstract: La restriction et l'exclusion automatiques de clients pour au moins un bien du casino empêche les joueurs à problèmes et autres de jouer. Lorsqu'un client doit être exclu du jeu au casino, on place un drapeau dans un compteur joueur d'une base de données de joueurs et on précise le type de restriction en question, de telle manière que le client soit entièrement exclu du casino ou seulement de certaines activités. Lorsque le client présente sa carte de fidélité, son compte est examiné pour déterminer s'il est exclu du casino ou de l'activité à laquelle il essaie de prendre part. Dans l'affirmative, le jeu est désactivé et un employé du casino est averti. Le système fonctionne dans un environnement multi-bien, y compris une pluralité de casinos et indique si l'exclusion ou la restriction s'applique au bien auquel le client essaie de jouer.
