Patent CA-2397079-A1 (CA)
Title: Armoured, flexible pipe and use of same
Inventor: RYTTER JAN CHRISTIAN
IPC: F16L11/10
Filed: 2001-01-03
Abstract: A flexible, armoured pipe has an impermeable inner liner (3), which is surrounded by at least two reinforcement layers (5, 6, 7, 8). Between the reinforcement layers an impermeable membrane (10) is provided, which ensures that fluids do not permeate into the inner reinforcement layers (5, 6) from the pipe's outer reinforcement layers (7, 8). The outer layers are not isolated from influence from the surrounding environment. Moreover, the outer layers (traction reinforcement layers) are protected against the damaging effect of gases, which are diffused out through the flexible pipe. On the outside of the outer traction reinforcement layers (7, 8) a layer (11) can be applied, which is easily permeated by the surroundings, and which protects the traction reinforcement layer against mechanical influences. In this way it is ensured that the pressure reinforcement can absorb forces both from inner as well as outer pressure.

Antigene sequences specific for a desired target gene sequence and having mRNA, protein or cell growth inhibition efficiencies may then be used to control DNA expression. By in no way intending to be limited to any particular gene, examples of these human genes of interest in which mRNA subsequence targets will be identified and antisense molecules prepared are: c-Myc, c-Myb, Bcl-2, c-Raf, Cyclin D1, IGF-IR, PKC.alpha., or CA12 genes. Antisense oligonucleotides of the invention may in some embodiments be at least 50 nucleotides in length. Examples include antisense oligonucleotides that specifically bind human protein kinase C-alpha and human C-Raf protein kinase.

Title: Method and apparatus for forming a cavity in soft tissue or bone
Inventor: MIRZA SOHAIL K
IPC: A61B17/32
Filed: 2001-03-20
Abstract: A first stop member (74) is connected to and extends upwardly, perpendicular to a longitudinal frame membeR (72). A second stop member (80) is connected to and projects upwardly and perpendicular to a base member (82). The base member (82) is supported by and is guided along the frame member (72) by a longitudinal rib (84) on the frame member (72) and a longitudinal recess (86) formed in the bottom of the base member (82). The stop members (74, 80) include shaft receiving openings (78, 120). A forward portion of a rotary shaft (12) projects forwardly through the opening (78) in the forward stop member (74) and then projects forwardly through a guide passageway in a guide member (52) having a forward end surface (53). A  rear portion of the shaft (12) projects through opening (120) in the rear stop member (80). The shaft (12) includes an abutment (46) that is positioned between the two stop members (74, 80). The cutting tip member (14) is pivotally connected to the forward end of the shaft (12).  In use, the cutting tip member (14) is oriented to be coaxial with the shaft (12) and is moved into a percutaneous access opening formed in a body part. The shaft (12) and the cutting tip member (14) are rotated relative to the stop members (74, 80). This causes the cutting tip member (14) to swing outwardly and cut a cavity in the body material that has a radius greater than the radius of the shaft (12). Forward movement of the shaft (12), to move the abutment (46) against the forward stop member (74) moves the cutting tip member (14) to the location of a desired forward boundary of the cavity. Movement of the shaft (12) rearwardly to move the abutment (46) into contact with the rear stop member (80) moves the cutting tip member (14) to the location of a desired second end boundary of the cavity.

Title: Method for preparing ester condensate
Inventor: ISHIHARA KAZUAKI
IPC: C07C69/734
Filed: 2001-08-23
Abstract: A process for producing an esterificated condensate, wherein a monomeric ester or thioester, or a polyester or polythioester is produced by carrying out a direct condensation reaction from a carboxylic acid and an equimolar amount of an alcohol or a little excess amount of a thiol in a non-polar solvent such as toluene using, as a (poly)condensation catalyst, a tetravalent hafnium compound, typically, hafnium(IV) chloride, in particular hafnium(IV) chloride . (THF)2 and hafnium(IV) butoxide in an oxygen-free atmosphere under reflux.  During refluxing with heating, water being distilled as an azeotropic mixture is preferably removed from the reaction system. The process permits a catalytic esterification using equimolar amounts of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol and a catalytic thioesterification using a carboxylic acid and an equimolar or a little excess amount of a thiol, and accordingly is greatly promising as a commercial process for a large scale production from the view point of green chemistry.
