Patent CA-2501149-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ISHIDA MASAHIRO
IPC: B60C11/04
Filed: 2003-11-27
Abstract: In the center region of a tread face of a pneumatic tire where one direction is specified as the direction of rotation, blocks each having obtuse-angled corner portions and acute-angled corner portions are divided and formed. The blocks are formed by at least one first circumferential groove provided at a side of the centerline of the tire and first transverse grooves. The first circumferential groove extends in a circumferential direction of the tire. T he first transverse grooves diagonally extend from the first circumferential groove in the direction opposite the rotational direction of the tire toward an outer side in a width direction of the tire and arranged at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction of the tire. Groove wall-faces on both sides of one of the obtuse corners of each of the blocks, which obtuse- angled corner faces the first circumferential groove, are inclined such that the angles of inclination gradually become larger toward the obtuse-angled corner and maximum inclination angles are formed at the obtuse-angle corner.

Inventor: RUBIN ALBERT L
IPC: A61K35/13
Filed: 2004-08-09
Abstract: The invention relates to the stem cells, embryonic stem cells in particular. It has been found that, when these stem cells are entrapped such that their proliferation is inhibited, they produce material which inhibits the proliferation of other, non-entrapped cells, including stem cells and neoplastic and/or hyperproliferative, but otherwise normal cells. It has als o been found that entrapped cancer cells will produce material which inhibits the proliferation of stem cells. Further, it has been found that the entrapment of the stem cells inhibits their differentiation and thus the entrapment process can serve as a long-term storage device for maintaining t he undifferentiated state of at least a portion of the entrapped cells.

Title: Diagnostic imaging contrast agents with extended blood retention
Inventor: SCOTT DANIEL M
IPC: A61K49/00
Filed: 1996-01-16
Abstract: The present invention provides diagnostic imaging contrast agents which exhibit improved blood retention. The novel compounds comprise: a) an image-enhancing (or signal-generating) moiety (IEM); b) a plasma protein binding moiety (PPBM); and c) a blood half-life extending moiety (BHEM).      This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and to methods of using the compounds and compositions for blood half-life extension and contrast enhancement of diagnostic imaging. These contrast agents exhibit reduced rates of both renal and hepatocellular uptake and no apparent uptake by the RE system. The agents may be targeted to the blood pool or any other biological component. Since the agent is lost less rapidly from the bloodstream, lower doses can be used at a higher margin of safety. The approach is general to both large and small molecules.

Title: Directional video filters for locally adaptive spatial noise reduction
Inventor: ANDERSON CANDACE M
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2004-12-06
Abstract: Spatial noise is reduced in an image having a plurality of pixels by detecting object boundaries and unstructured areas in the image and applying 3-tap high pass filters to each pixel in the image in at least four, but less than eight directions to determine the best direction for local low pass filtering. Low pass filtering is applied only along object boundaries and unstructured areas within the image so as to minimize the tendency to blur image edges. Using only four high pass filters to locate horizontal, vertical and diagonal image edges passing through the center of a 3x3 pixel array provides good results.
