Title: Method and apparatus for monitoring anticoagulation levels
Inventor: HAMLET D MARK
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1999-12-02
Abstract: A method, apparatus and kit are claimed for maintaining a level of the therapeutic anticoagulation in a patient's blood resulting from administrati on of anticoagulants. A desired range of a blood coagulant characteristic is established for the patient (INR range). The blood coagulant characteristic of the patient is determined and transmitted automatically to a surveillance location in the form of digital data. The transmitted blood coagulant characteristic data is then compared to the desired range. A caregiver is informed if the transmitted blood coagulant characteristic data is outside t he desired range, or if testing and reporting do not take place in a timely fashion.

Patent CA-2334219-A1 (CA)
Title: Integrated voice and data communications over a local area network
Inventor: KEENAN RONALD M
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1999-06-09
Abstract: A local area network (32) adapted for packet switching of standard Ethernet packets employs a communication switching module (44) to control flow of both delay-sensitive voice digital voice signals from digital telephones (36, 38, 40, 42) and non-delay-sensitive user data from PC's (14, 16) and devices (18, 20) over Base-T (or 100 Base-TX) LAN segments (34). UTE adapters (46, 48, 50) at user stations are connected to both voice and data devices.  Initialization procedures utilize standard Ethernet packets to set up a permanent virtual circuit between the UTE adapters and module (44).  The permanent virtual circuit carries signaling and control information entered from the digital telephone keyboards. The UTE adapters and the communications switching module both incorporate a segmentation and re-assembly (SAR) means (66). The SAR means on the transmitting end of the LAN segment segments synchronous digital voice and asynchronous data and encapsulates the segments into master Ethernet packets of fixed length, and transmits the master Ethernet packets at a constant fixed rate. The SAR  means on the receiving end of the LAN segment extracts the segments and reassembles the segments into synchronous voice and asynchronous data packets. Formats for master Ethernet packets (70) suitable for 10 Base-T LAN and master Ethernet packets (72) for 100 Base-TX are disclosed. Synchronous processing of voice data is accomplished internally in communication switching module (44) by time domain multiplexing over a high speed full-duplex TDM highway (64). Asynchronous processing of user data packets is accomplished internally in module (44) by high speed packet interface (62). A master oscillator in module (44) synchronizes the connected devices on the LAN through fixed rate transmission of master Ethernet packets, which serve to synchronize local clocks in the UTE adapters.
Patent CA-2337763-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZIKAN KAREL
IPC: H04L12/00
Filed: 1999-07-15
Abstract: A system and method for networked high-speed data communication through free  space is described. The system includes one or more central networks, which contain one or more lasers modulated with high-speed data to illuminate with  laser light areas surrounding the central network in which are located one o r more user networks. The laser from the central network generates a radiation  pattern that is sectored into horizontal and vertical sectors, and further divided into channels for each wavelength. Data coming from the user network s modulates a laser, which is transmitted as a collimated beam through free space back to the central network where it is received. Communication can be  point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-point, or multipoint-to- multipoint, and the point-to-multipoint communication can be broadcast, simulcast, or multicast.

Patent CA-2342010-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DUNKEL JOERG
IPC: A47L13/44
Filed: 2001-03-26
Abstract: A holder for mounting a wiper mop to the end of a handle and for clamping a number of relatively movable, absorbent strips (28, 29) of a textile material essentially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the handle. The holder has a head part and a plate for clamping the strips therebetween. In the strip clamping region, the holder has a base surface which has a larger length than width. The outer edges of the base surface are curved without a change in the direction of curvature to form a pair of corners (6, 7; 26, 27). The sectional change in the curvature on connection with the corners is especially good for cleaning of hard to reach locations. The corners are rounded at a radius of 0.05 to 0.25 the width of the holder which allows a rolling-off movement past the corner.

IPC: A61P9/00
Filed: 1999-11-08
Abstract: The present application is directed to the discovery that hedgehog gene products are able to protect peripheral nerve cells under conditions which otherwise result in peripheral neuropathy. Certain aspects of the invention are directed to preparations of hedgehog polypeptides, or other molecules which regulate patched or smoothened signalling, and their uses as protective agents against both acquired and hereditary neuropathies. As used herein, "peripheral neuropathy" refers to a disorder affecting a segment of the peripheral nervous system. For instance, the method of the present invention can be used as part of a treatment program in the management of neuropathies associated with systemic disease, e.g., viral infections, diabetes, inflammation; as well as genetically acquired (hereditary) neuropathies, e.g., Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; and neuropathies caused by a toxic agent, e.g., a chemotherapeutic agent such as vincristine.

Title: Face finishing of fabrics containing immobilized fibers
Inventor: DISCHLER LOUIS
IPC: D03D15/00
Filed: 2000-02-16
Abstract: The inventive method provides highly desirable hand to various different types of fabrics through the initial immobilization of individual fibers within target fabrics and subsequent treatment through abrasion, sanding, or napping of at least a portion of the target fabric. Such a procedure includes "nicking" the immobilized fibers thereby permitting the fibers to produce a substantially balanced strength of the target fabric in the fill and warp directions while also providing the same degree of hand improvements as obtained with previous methods. Furthermore, this process also provides the unexpected improvement of non-pilling to synthetic fibers as the "nicking" of the immobilized fibers results in the lack of unraveling of fibers and thus the near impossibility of such fibers balling together to form unwanted pills on the fabric surface. Fabrics treated by this process are also contemplated within this invention.

Filed: 2000-02-14
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé de retrait d'oeufs de poux des cheveux d'un humain infesté ou des poils d'un animal à l'aide d'une composition permettant de visualiser ces oeufs. Ledit procédé consiste à utiliser certains colorants qui possèdent une affinité pour la surface des oeufs, de manière qu'une seconde personne puisse repérer plus facilement les oeufs et les retirer en peignant ou en utilisant une autre technique de retrait. Dans ce but, une substance colorée est dispersée dans un solvant à base d'eau ou d'alcool et, dans une réalisation, également dans un agent propulseur. La composition doit être appliquée sur les cheveux de l'humain infesté ou sur les poils de l'animal, puis retirée après le séchage, par brossage ou lavage. La substance colorée, qui est adsorbée par l'exosquelette chitineux et le ciment de liaison des oeufs de poux, reste sur les poux, ce qui facilite le repérage visuel et le retrait des oeufs de poux des cheveux ou des poils.
