Patent CA-2433390-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KUHNEL VOLKER
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 2001-11-09
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'actionner une prothèse auditive et un dispositif permettant de mettre ledit procédé en oeuvre, pour commuter entre différents programmes d'audition, afin de permettre une adaptation à une situation acoustique environnementale passagère. Des signaux ou des paramètres (b¿1?, , b¿m?) d'une fonction de transfert sont modifiés selon l'invention en continu afin d'obtenir un passage constant d'une valeur passagère à une valeur voulue. L'invention présente ainsi l'avantage pour le porteur de prothèse auditive, de passer d'un programme d'audition à un autre sans avoir le sentiment d'un passage brusque.

Title: Preventative of therapeutic agent for inflammatory respiratory tract disease
Inventor: SATO SUSUMU
IPC: C07J7/00
Filed: 2001-12-21
Abstract: A preventive and/or therapeutic agent for inflammatory respiratory tract diseases containing, as an active ingredient, a steroid derivative represented by the following formula (1):   (see formula 1) (wherein R represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxy group, or -OCOR1 (wherein R1 represents a linear or branched alkyl group which may be substituted by a halogen atom or a cycloalkyl group; a cycloalkyl group; or an aryl group)).     These compounds can continuously suppress respiratory tract inflammation and respiratory tract hyperreaction and show a high site selectivity and little systemic effect when administered directly to the respiratory tract. By virtue of these characteristics, these compounds are remarkably useful in clinical medicine as highly safe preventive and/or therapeutic agents for inflammatory respiratory tract diseases which can be administered for a long period of time.

Title: Agent for topical ophthalmic treatment of ocular inflammatory diseases
Inventor: UENO RYUJI
IPC: A61K31/445
Filed: 2002-04-12
Abstract: The present invention provides an agent for topical ophthalmic treatment of a human for ocular inflammatory diseases, containing a tricyclo compound as shown by the general formula (I) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt as the active ingredient in the concentration of 0.01% - 0.1%. The present agen t for topical ophthalmic treatment continuously shows superior ocular anti- inflammatory effects by topically administering it in a low dose to the eye of the human having the ocular inflammatory diseases. The present agent is effective for symptoms caused by the ocular inflammatory diseases such as itching, flare, edema, ulcer, etc. The present agent is also effective for a subject in whom conventional anti-inflammatory agents show no improving effe ct (e.g., steroid and cyclosporins). The present agent is also effective for a subject for whom other anti-inflammatory agents cannot be used (e.g., steroi d contraindication). The present agent is very useful especially for the reaso n that it shows sufficient effects by topically administering it to the eye fo r one to four times.

Title: Safety switch
Inventor: COPPOLA ANTONIO
IPC: H01H23/20
Filed: 2003-11-14
Abstract: Housed in a casing (1) is an activation key (2), a pair of contact-holding elements (10, 11) and a triad of electric terminals (6, 7, 9). The contact-holding elements (10, 11) are oscillating around the same oscillation axis (O-O) between two positions, a passive position and an active position respectively, each imposed by a corresponding position of the activation key. The central terminal (6) of said triad is in permanent electric contact with one (10) of said contact-holding elements. The contact holding element (10, 11) that is closed upon the corresponding terminal (7, 9) in a passive position is separated therefrom in an active position and vice versa. The contact-holding elements (10, 11) are mutually electrically connected through conductive elements (17, 18) that can move with respect to one another for relative displacement of mating surfaces (17a, 18a) in mutual contact, when operation of the switch takes place in a condition of failure, which will result in loss of contact between the contact-holding elements (10, 11).

Abstract: A turbocharger (32) creates intake manifold boost for a diesel engine (10). At times, exhaust valve opening is increasingly retarded in relation to the engine operating cycle to cause the turbocharger (32) to increase boost, engine fueling is also increased in relation to the increased boost, and in response to any incipient surging of the compressor (38) resulting from such increasingly retarded exhaust valve opening and such increased engine fueling, compressed charge air is bled from the intake manifold (14) to counter the incipient surging and thereby avoid any significant turbocharger (38) surge.

Inventor: DORNE RAPHAEL JEAN HENRI
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2002-09-11
Abstract: The invention relates to resource management, and describes a method and apparatus to be used in planning of resource deployment. In an embodiment of the invention, the number and characteristics of forecasted and/or unprocessed jobs falling within a time period such as a week, or a month, are compared to resource availability and status for that time period, in terms of attributes such as location, skills and time. A cost - in terms of jobs that cannot be carried out, given current resource availability and status - is evaluated.  Preferably the attributes are stored as resource records, so that there is one resource record per resource, and the attributes of at least some of the resource records are modified using a heuristic search means or similar. The resource records are modified until a minimum cost is identified, and these resource records can then be used to formulate successive capacity plans, which can be input to a scheduling system.
