Abstract: A ring, a container and a method identify the container from other containers. A top end of the container is inserted into and/or is positioned within an interior of the ring for connecting the ring to the container. A tab is connected to the ring to be grasped by and/or to be held by the user of the ring for positioning and/or for inserting the top portion of the container within the interior of the container. The ring and/or the tab of the ring displays a first color and/or first indicia which is indicative of and/or identified with the user of the ring. The user identifies that the container belongs to and/or is being used by the user of the ring via the first color of and/or the indicia of the ring. The container may have a lid which is connected to the ring or the tab of the ring via flanges of the lid. The flanges of the lid separate from the ring or the tab of the ring by removing the lid from the container. Each of the other containers have rings displaying different colors than the first color and/or different indicia than the first indicia to identify and/or to distinguish each of the other containers.

Patent CA-2611302-A1 (CA)
Title: Phase difference calculator
Inventor: PAKBAZ BAHADOR
IPC: G01R23/165
Filed: 2006-05-19
Abstract: A phase reversal detector converts an input tone from time domain into frequency domain, determines a phase difference over a time interval, and detects a phase reversa based on the phase difference. The converter derives a Fourier transform coefficient having a centre frequency corresponding approximately to a principal frequency being sought in the incoming signal. It uses a very short window of samples, the window length being selected to be shorter than that required for an exact correspondence. By using an approximate correspondence a much shorter window can be used, which enables a significant reduction in computational load and a shorter detection time. The converter output is a complex number. The phase difference is obtained using a dot product of the outputs of the converter obtained at different times. An average of consecutive phase differences can be used to reduce the effect of noise.

Title: Omega-3 fatty acids encapsulated in zein coatings and food products incorporating the same
Inventor: BELLO ANTHONY
IPC: A23L1/30
Filed: 2006-09-11
Abstract: Disclosed are processes for stabilizing omega-3 fatty acids for use in food products. The processes permit creation of a variety of food forms and food ingredients that contain omega-3 fatty acids like docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid wherein these foods and food forms are stable for months without developing fishy aromas or tastes. This stability enables the incorporation of omega-3 fatty acids into food forms such as ready to eat cereals, trail mixes, chips, granola bars, toaster pastries, baked goods, cooldes, crackers, fruit pieces and fruit leathers. The processes utilize a zein coating to protect and stabilize the omega-3 fatty acids.

Abstract: [PROBLEMS] To provide a compound which can be used for the prevention and/or treatment of a disease associated with a 5-HT2B receptor or a 5-HT7 receptor, particularly for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] It is found that an amide derivative having a nitrogenated bicyclic hetero ring such as an indole or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof has a potent antagonistic effect on both of a 5-HT2B receptor and a 5-HT7 receptor. The compound having an antagonistic effect on both of these receptors shows a better pharmacological activity compared to an antagonist alone which is selective to either of these receptors. Therefore, the compound is useful for the prevention and/or treatment of a disease associated with a 5-HT2B receptor or a 5-HT7 receptor, particularly for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
