Patent CA-2495523-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZIMMER TODD C
IPC: E05B55/14
Filed: 2003-08-11
Abstract: A lock mechanism operated by inner and outer lever handles (74, 36) provides a security classroom function and includes inner and outer lock mechanisms that are independently switchable between locked and unlocked states by inner and outer lock cylinders (200, 60) and keys (202, 60). The inner handle (74) always operates the lock mechanism to retract a latch bolt. The outer handle (36) can only retract the latch bolt when both the inner and outer lock mechanisms are in the unlocked state. The outer key (60) can retract the latch bolt when the inner lock mechanism is in the locked state, but cannot change the inner lock mechanism to the unlocked state or enable the outer handle (36), thereby ensuring positive control over the locked state of the outer handle (36) from the inner side.

Abstract: An inter-labium product capable of disintegration in water, fitted to the inter-labium part; and a surface-side sheet for inter-labium product that simultaneously realizes comfortability at wearing of the inter-labium product and capability of water disintegration such that the inter-labium product is disintegrated when thrown in flush water of water closet after use. The surface-side sheet for use in an inter-labium product fitted to the inter-labium part is comprised of hydrophilic fibers composed of single fibers and fibril fibers having fuzzes branched from the surface thereof, wherein at least some of the branched fuzzes link the single fibers and the fibril fibers to each other. Thus, not only can the wet tensile strength be increased but also inter-fibrous bonds are slowly decomposed in the presence of a large amount of water to thereby enable disposal of the inter-labium product in a flush toilet. Furthermore, since no resin is used, the inter-labium product is free from resin leaching to thereby avoid problems, such as itching and skin roughness, caused by the resin leaching.

Title: Compounds for modulation of cholesterol transport
Inventor: NIELAND THOMAS J F
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 2003-10-08
Abstract: Methods for regulation of lipid and cholesterol uptake are described which a re based on regulation of the expression or function of the SR-BI HDL receptor. The examples demonstrate that estrogen dramatically downregulates SR-BI unde r conditions of tremendous upregulation of the LDL-receptor. The examples also demonstrate the upregulation of SR-BI in rat adrenal membranes and other non - placental steroidogenic tissues from animals treated with estrogen, but not in other non-placental non-steroidogenic tissues, including lung, liver, and skin. Examples further demonstrate the uptake of fluorescently labeled HDL into the liver cells of animal, which does not occur when the animals are treated with estrogen. Examples also demonstrate the in vivo effects of SR-B I expression on HDL metabolism, in mice transiently overexpressing hepatic SR- BI following recombinant adenovirus infection. Overexpression of the SR-BI in t he hepatic tissue caused a dramatic decrease in cholesterol blood levels. These results demonstrate that modulation of SR-BI levels, either directly or indirectly, can be used to modulate levels of cholesterol in the blood.</SDO AB>

Title: Ballast system for boats
Inventor: WARNES DANIEL
IPC: B63B39/03
Filed: 2005-06-27
Abstract: A hollow ballast tank contains within it a plurality of flexible bags for storing fluids such as fuel, freshwater and grey water. These fluids serve as functional ballast weight to complement the ballast weight provided by seawater which fills the remaining volume of the ballast tank upon being drawn into the tank through an intake pipe. Hoses run from each bag and emerge from a hatch in the upper surface of the ballast tank to service the boat. As fuel and freshwater are consumed, seawater is drawn into the ballast tank to compensate for the lost volume. Grey water may also be returned to a bag in the tank to serve as ballast weight.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods and compositions for augmenting treatment of cancers and other proliferative disorders. In particular embodiments, the invention combines the administration of an agent that inhibits the anti-apoptotic activity of galectin-3 (e.g., a "galectin-3 inhibitor") so as to potentiate the toxicity of a chemotherapeutic agent. In certain preferred embodiments, the conjoint therapies of the present invention can be used to improve the efficacy of those chemotherapeutic agents whose cytotoxicity is influenced by the status of an anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein for the treated cell. For instance, galectin-3 inhibitors can be administered in combination with a chemotherapeutic agent that interferes with DNA  replication fidelity or cell-cycle progression of cells undergoing unwanted proliferation.
