Patent CA-2455114-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JOHANSSON SVEN BORJE
IPC: G03B19/18
Filed: 2004-01-28
Abstract: The stroboscopic effect is the optical effect in filming of rotating wheels or objects having spokes or visible marks resulting in that the wheels or objects appear to stand still or rotate backwards to the true and expected rotation. The strobo-scopic effect is a function of the ratio of intermittent frames per second of the camera, the speed of rotation of an object or wheel and the number of visible markings or spokes on the rotating object or wheel. Before this innovation there is no system that makes it possible to eliminate, or control the stroboscopic effect in film and video. The heretofore used methods are based on restrictive framing, restrictive angles and editing that try to exclude rotating objects or wheels from the view of the audience. These restrictive methods seriously minimize the dramatic, artistic and expressive power of the filmed action.

Title: System and method for encoded spatio-spectral information processing
Inventor: FATELEY WILLIAM G
IPC: G06K19/06
Filed: 2002-09-10
Abstract: Systems and methods for encoded spatio-spectral information processing are disclosed. In a specific aspect, the invention involves applying or embedding of digital information in the spectral profile of materials, such as inks and paints, to provide the functionality of bar codes or labels, and reading such information from objects. Recording of digital information is enabled onto or into physical media with or without the use of printed symbols, by spraying, mixing or enabling a specific chemical changes resulting in digital information being encoded onto or into carrying materials. Because the information is encoded in the spectral signatures of compositions of materials, the precise location, shape, orientation and arrangement of marks is generally not used in the process of decoding. Various applications are disclosed.

Title: Crystalline form i of 2-methyl-4-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl) 10h thieno [2,3-b][1,5]benzodiazepine
Inventor: RAJEEV REHANI BUDHDEV
IPC: A61P25/18
Filed: 2002-12-23
Abstract: A novel crystalline form of a known substance cannot be characterized in a sufficient clear and concise manner - distinguishing it form prior art compounds - by a vague property ("having a stable colour upon storage at ambient conditions") or by the giving of infrared absorbance bands alone. Only the characterisation by certain x-ray powder diffraction peaks seems to be sufficient (and a combination of such peaks with IR absorbance bands). For this reason, claims 1 and 3 (and claims 22-23 as far as they refer to claim 1 or 3) are not searchable. Further, the characterization of a novel product by its preparation process (see product-by-process claims 4-21) is not allowable, because such a characterization is only allowable in cases where no other possibility of characterizing a product is possible (which is not the case for the new compound of the present application).

Title: Purifying process of soluble proteins of the l. obliqua bristles through prothrombin activation; process for a partial determination of the amino acids sequence of the prothrombinactivator; process for determining the prothrombin activation of fraction ii, n-terminal and internal fragments sequences
Inventor: REIS CLEYSON
IPC: C07K14/46
Filed: 2003-01-29
Abstract: The herein invention refers to a purifying process of soluble proteins of the L. obliqua bristles through prothrombin activation; a partial determination of the amino acids sequence of the prothrombin activator; a process for determining the fraction II of the prothrombin activation as well as the N-terminal sequence and the sequence of internal fragments of the prothrombin activator fraction, the prothrombin activator and the utilization of the prothrombin activator through the homogenization of the L. obliqua bristles.  The herein invention has shown that only one component of the Lonomia obliqua venom, the Lopap, causes the hemorrhagic syndrome directly by activating prothrombin and, therefore, a patient should be conducted to a therapy when in contact with the Lonomia obliqua venom. According to the herein invention, Lopap is a new prothrombin activator, showing to be a quite important factor responsible for consumption coagulopathy, found in patients exposed to the venom of the L. obliqua caterpillar. In low doses of purified protein, due to its capacity of activating prothrombin and generating thrombin, it is possible, in controlled conditions, to withdraw fibrinogen from circulation, transforming it in fibrin microthrombs. The decrease on the concentration of plasmatic fibrinogen promotes the increasing of blood coagulation time and therefore it will avoid acute vascular thrombosis. Since protein does not present proteolytic activity, it could maintain the coagulating capacity of the fibrinogen not consumed in the process. The fibrinogen plasmatic concentration would decrease, however there would not be predisposition for hemorrhagic state. Besides that, it could be used to produce diagnosis KITS  for detecting dysprothrombinemias.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des ensembles pratiques et à faible consommation d'énergie (1) destinés à appliquer un gradient de température à un réseau de Bragg sur fibre (5). Une application de ces ensembles consiste, par exemple, en un réglage actif de la dispersion chromatique du réseau. Le gradient de température est produit dans un élément conducteur de chaleur (7), avec lequel le réseau de Bragg sur fibre (5) est en contact thermique continu, à travers des éléments (9, 11) commandant la température des extrémités de l'élément conducteur de chaleur (7), appliquant ainsi le gradient de température au réseau de Bragg sur fibre. Un premier mode de réalisation préféré comprend un élément de recirculation de la chaleur (17) permettant la recirculation de la chaleur entre les deux extrémités (29, 31) de l'élément conducteur de chaleur de forme allongée, fournissant ainsi un réglage rapide et dynamique du gradient de température avec une perte de chaleur minimale. Un second mode de réalisation fournit une isolation de l'environnement extérieur afin de découpler le gradient de température souhaité des fluctuations de température ambiante, améliorant ainsi la commande de la réaction optique d'un réseau de fibres.
