Abstract: The system changes frequency of the toothbrush to adjust the amplitude of motion of the brush portion of the toothbrush. The change in frequency occurs either manually or automatically. In the manual embodiment, the user, via a switch and internal circuitry, can adjust the operating frequency of the toothbrush which results in a change of amplitude to a value which is most comfortable to the user. In the automatic mode, the resonant frequency of the toothbrush is determined upon initiation of the operation of the toothbrush.  The resonant frequency value is then offset by a selected amount, usually higher than the resonant frequency; this offset frequency is the operating frequency of the toothbrush.

Title: Anti-rhesus d recombinant polyclonal antibody and methods of manufacture
Inventor: FREDERIKSEN SOREN BREGENHOLT
IPC: C07K16/34
Filed: 2005-07-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an anti-RhD recombinant polyclonal antibody composition (anti-RhD rpAb). The method comprises obtaining a collection of cells transfected with a library of anti-RhD  antibody expression vectors, wherein each cell in the collection is capable of expressing from a VH and VL comprising nucleic acid segment, one member of the library, which encodes a distinct member of anti-RhD recombinant polyclonal antibody composition and which is located at the same site in the genome of individual cells in said collection. The cells are cultured under suitable conditions for expression of the recombinant polyclonal antibody, which is obtained from the cells or culture supernatant. The nucleic acid segments encoding the anti-RhD rpAb is introduced into the cells by transfection with a library of vectors for site-specific integration. The present method is suitable for manufacturing anti-RhD rpAb, thereby making available a superior replacement of plasma-derived prophylactic and therapeutic immonoglobulin products.

Patent CA-2583898-A1 (CA)
Title: Building panel and building structure
Inventor: MORELLO FREDERICK
IPC: E04B1/32
Filed: 2005-10-14
Abstract: An improved building panel with increased stiffness and resistance to buckling is disclosed. The panel cross section is characterized by a novel center portion comprised of radially arranged longitudinal stiffening ribs which transition into side portions configured to allow joining of the panels. The configuration of the panel's center section results in an increased moment of inertia as well as higher resistance to positive and negative bending moments and local buckling when compared to existing designs. Additionally, the panel configuration allows curving longitudinally without corrugations. These improvements in the strength of the panel and the elimination of corrugations reduce design constraints on buildings constructed of such panels and allow larger buildings to be constructed.

Title: Method of detecting and correcting relay tack weld failures
Inventor: JOHNSON MARK A
IPC: H01H47/00
Filed: 2005-11-22
Abstract: A method of detecting and attempting to correct a relay tack weld failure of its contacts is presented. This method senses the failure of a relay's contacts to open once it has been commanded to trip. This sensing may directly sense relay conditions, or may indirectly determine the failure by sensing a system parameter that shows the effects of the failure. Once the failure of the relay to open has been determined, the relay is again energized in an attempt to break loose the relay tack weld. If the relay fails to open after this first attempt, the relay may again be repulsed. Preferably a relay check timer is utilized to ensure that the system has stabilized before a repulse is attempted. A relay pulse timer may be used to control the pulse duration during these attempts. The number of attempts may also be limited.

Abstract: Methods of managing media server resources are disclosed. In an embodiment, a media server resource broker (140) receives a request for a set of media server resources from an application server (120). The media server resource broker determines the service request should be handled by a first media server (160) based on the type of request and the availability of the first media server and provides an address of the first media server to the application server. In another embodiment, an IP node (210) provides a service request. An application server (120) receives the service request and sends a request for media server resources to a media server resource broker (140).  The media server resource broker determines that the request should be handled by a first media server (160). The media server resource broker queries the first media server to obtain an IP address and port number for use in establishing a call between the IP node and the first media server. The media server resource broker then provides a signal to the IP Node so that it can establish the call with the appropriate port on the media server.

Abstract: A portable, self-contained device is described for the topical application of oxygen and the removal of wound exudates to promote the healing of skin wounds. The device includes a wound dressing that incorporates at least one electrochemical cell for generating oxygen. The device can regulate the supply of oxygen to the wound at various concentrations, pressures and dosages and is used to produce a high concentration of oxygen at the wound site. By reversing the polarity of the power source a reduced pressure can be created in a reservoir attached to our device. The reduced pressure in the reservoir draws naturally flowing exudates away from the wound. Alternately, two reverse polarity cells are used to alternately supply oxygen and draw away exudates.
