Patent CA-2459045-A1 (CA)
Title: Methodes de traitement de troubles au moyen d'extraits des plantes
Inventor: RIBNICKY DAVID M
IPC: A61P25/28
Filed: 2002-08-30
Abstract: L'invention concerne des matériaux et des méthodes se rapportant à des extraits, sous forme de liquide légèrement polaire, de matériaux végétaux, tels que l'espèce végétale Artemisia. Ces extraits sont utiles dans des méthodes de traitement du diabète, des méthodes de modulation de l'activité du GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), et dans des méthodes de modulation de l'activité de la phosphoénol pyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) dans une manière spécifique de diabètes. Lesdits extraits sont généralement non toxiques et non mutagène et peuvent être administrés à des sujets diabétiques, étant donné qu'ils ont des effets bénéfiques sur les taux de glucose dans le sang. Les extraits peuvent également être administrés à des sujets non diabétiques sans avoir d'effets nocifs. Les plantes sont de culture facile et nécessitent un minimum de temps, d'effort et de coût. La préparation des extraits est rapide et peu onéreuse, et ne nécessite pas de fractionnement pour éliminer les composés potentiellement nocifs. Les extraits peuvent être administrés à des mammifères tels que les humains par différentes voies, dans une variété de formes et à des concentrations adéquates.

Title: Anti fraud card system
Inventor: BOILY BRUNO
IPC: H04L17/02
Filed: 2004-03-29
Abstract: An anti fraud card system consists of two physically distinct components: The first is a card having a built-in battery; an infrared receiver; a processor; a non-volatile memory; and a strip to receive a signal from the processor which is captured by a card swipe machine. The second is a compact, easily disguisable transmitter which comprises a processor; a battery; a non-volatile memory; and an infrared transmitter. Besides the two above mentioned physical components, a third important component is the user who inputs a secret sequence into the transmitter so that the transmitter in fact transmits two codes, one contained in memory inside the transmitter and the other in the memory of the user which inputs a memorized sequence using buttons on the transmitter. These two codes combine with a third code contained in the memory of the card. The user also controls the duration that the signal from the transmiter transmits over to the card by the duration he depresses the transmit button.

Filed: 2003-01-31
Abstract: A method of selecting a suitable service for the delivery of a communication across an integrated network is disclosed. Before now, users had to select the service that best suited their needs at the time of each delivery. By providing a computer programmed to act as a purchasing agent with data indicating the desirability of stability in the network service (that data representing the price the user is prepared to pay for stability) an automatic selection of the service to be provided to the communication is enabled. An embodiment is described in which different degrees of stability are given to different content file deliveries in dependence on the importance attached to the recipient by a content provider. The invention could equally be used to provide an appropriate services for many different types of network traffic.

Title: Pervasive mesh network
Inventor: DAVIES CHRIS M
IPC: H04L29/00
Filed: 2004-08-16
Abstract: This network system enables individual nodes in the network to coordinate their activities such that the sum of their activities allows communication between nodes in the network.      This network is similar to existing ad-hoc networks used in a wireless environment. The principle limitation of those networks is the ability to scale past a few hundred nodes. This method overcomes that scaling problem.      Note to Readers: examples are given throughout this document in order to clarify understanding. These examples, when making specific reference to numbers, other parties' software or other specifics, are not meant to limit the generality of the method and system described herein

Abstract: An optical sensor (100) includes a sensing pair of complementary emitter and detector elements (106a, 106b, 108a, 108b) for measuring the bulk absorptivity (a) of an area parallel to and including a hemodialysis access site, and a normalizing pair of complementary emitter and detector elements for measuring the absorptivity (a%) of the tissue itself perpendicular to the access site.  The pairs of emitter and detector elements define two lines at right angles to each other, and one of the pairs lies to one side of the line defined by the other of the pairs, such that the two pairs of emitter and detector elements form a "T" shape. Indicator dilution techniques are used to measure vascular access flow rates during routine hemodialysis, using the sensor.

Patent CA-2482610-A1 (CA)
Title: Decorative luminaires
Inventor: VIER CHESTER G
IPC: F21S8/00
Filed: 2004-09-27
Abstract: Functional yet decorative luminaires intended to create distinctive environments within specific areas of a space in which one or more luminaires are used, the luminaires of the invention visually tie to architectural elements of the space by providing a customizable glow of color surrounding a typically white light that acts to illuminate the space functionally. A downlighting luminaire configured according to the invention as one example is typically configured to utilize two separate reflectors, usually reflectors having concave reflective surfaces and being mounted concentrically within a housing, an inner reflector directing light centrally through an aperture of the luminaire with the light so directed typically being white light useful for illumination intended to facilitate usual activities within the space. An outer reflector is spaced from the inner reflector with a transparent or translucent disc, such as an acrylic plastic disc, being held between the reflectors, the disc having a colored film adhered preferably to lower surfaces thereof to cause portions of the light emanating from lamping disposed above the disc to be colored by passage through the colored film, the disc being readily removable and replaced with a disc having a different color adhered thereto so that a particular luminaire can he customized as to color selection depending on user choice at any given time. An annulus of glowing, colored light exits the periphery of the luminaire aperture outwardly of the inner cone, the reflective surfaces of the outer reflector directing at least portions of the colored light passing through the disc and colored film through an annular aperture of the luminaire, thereby creating a distinctive appearance of a central, white shaft of light emanating from the inner reflector and a glowing annulus of colored light surrounding the white shaft of light. Peripheral edges of the inner reflector can be positioned fleshly with the luminaire aperture or can extend to one or more positions outwardly of the luminaire aperture and thus "proud" of a ceiling or the like within which the luminaire is recessed, surface-mounted or pendently mounted inter alia.

Patent CA-2484752-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GREENE GEORGE R JR
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2003-05-08
Abstract: A mechanism for the deployment of a filamentous endovascular implant (20) includes a flexible deployment tube (10) having an internal lumen extending between open proximal and distal ends (11, 13), and a coupling element (14) attached to the proximal end of the implant. The tube has a retention sleeve (12) that extends distally past the distal end of the tube. The coupling element is releasably held within the sleeve. The deployment tube and the attached implant attached are passed intravascularly by a microcatheter until the implant is located within a target vascular site. To detach the implant from the tube, a liquid is injected through the lumen so as to apply pressure to the coupling element, which is thus pushed out of the retention sleeve by fluid pressure. The coupling element may include a purge passage for purging air from the microcatheter prior to the intravascular passage of the implant.
