Title: New angiogenesis inhibitors based on soluble cd44 receptor hyaluronic acid binding domain
Inventor: STROEMBLAD STAFFAN
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2002-08-26
Abstract: CD44, the receptor for hyaluronic acid, has complex functions in cellular physiology, cell migration and tumour metastasis. The inventors have previously found that human CD44 receptor overexpression in mouse fibrosarcoma cells inhibits subcutaneous tumour growth in mice [Kogerman et al., Oncogene 1997; 15:1407-16; Kogerman et al., Clin Exp Metastasis 1998; 16:83-93]. Here it is demonstrated that a tumour growth inhibitory effect of CD44 is caused by block of angiogenesis. Furthermore, the inventors have found that soluble recombinant CD44 hyaluronic acid binding domain (CD44HABD) inhibits angiogenesis in vivo in cLick and mouse and thereby inhibits human tumour growth of various origins. The anti-angiogenic effect of CD44-HABD is independent of hyaluronic acid (HA) binding, since non-HA-binding mutants of CD44HABD still maintain anti-angiogenic properties. The invention discloses soluble CD44 recombinant proteins as a novel class of angiogenesis inhibitors based on targeting of vascular cell surface receptor. A method of block of angiogenesis and treatment of human tumours using recombinant CD44 proteins as well as their analogues is disclosed. As a further embodiment of the invention, methods for screening for new drug targets using CD44 recombinant proteins and their analogues is presented.

Title: Leg pillow with single clasp
Inventor: FRYDMAN JONATHAN D
IPC: A47C20/02
Filed: 2004-04-07
Abstract: A leg pillow having two opposing arcuate-shaped bolsters that defines a thigh channel. The bolsters are connected by a bridge having airflow channels on its upper surface and flex channels on its lower planar surface. The bolsters have terminal ends curving inward that form a friction fitting single leg clasp capable of clasping securely an inner thigh of an individual. The clasping of the thigh causes a deformation of the leg pillow which, when the alternate inner thigh rests on the lower planar surface of the bridge opposite the thigh channel, the flex channels therein allow for substantial conformity to the unique contours of the individual's lower body region, thus alleviating stress on the spine and maintaining the spine's natural alignment. The unique features of the present invention resist movement into the unhealthy prone or supine sleeping position and prevent shifting of the pillow while asleep.

Patent CA-2468076-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SINCLAIRE ROSS
IPC: G05D7/00
Filed: 2004-05-21
Abstract: A method and system for the distribution of water in a high rise building is provided using a minimum number of piping risers. The system has a domestic cold water riser, and a domestic hot water supply riser and a return riser. At each serviced floor, a cold water supply main extends from the domestic cold water riser and a hot water supply main extends from the domestic hot water supply riser. On each floor at which riser pressure is higher than domestic use pressures, a valve reduces the pressure of the entire cold water supply main to domestic use pressures. One or mare valves at each of one or more suites on the floor reduce the pressure of the hat water to each suite, leaving the hot water supply main for the floor at full riser pressure. Coupling fan-coils with chilled water supply and the full pressure domestic hot water provides an efficient piping system for both environmental controls and domestic hot water use. Regular and periodic circulation through fan-coils avoid stagnation of the domestic hot water supply.

Title: Methods of increasing flotation rate
Inventor: YOON ROE-HOAN
IPC: C02F11/147
Filed: 2001-11-25
Abstract: Methods of increasing the rate of separating hydrophobic and hydrophilic particles by flotation have been developed. They are based on using appropriate reagents to enhance the hydrophobicity of the particles to be floated, so that they can be more readily collected by the air bubbles used in flotation. The hydrophobicity-enhancing reagents include low HLB surfactants, naturally occuring lipids, modified lipids, and hydrophobic polymers. These methods can greatly increase the rate of flotation for the particles that are usually difficult to float, such as ultrafine particles, coarse particles, middlings, and the particles that do not readily float in the water containing large amounts of ions derived from the particles. In addition, new collectos for the flotation of phosphate minerals are disclosed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing crosstalk between sensors in an inline Fabry-Perot (FP) sensor array. The inline FP sensor array comprises a plurality of fiber Bragg gratings arranged periodically along an optical fiber. The sensors are formed between each of the Bragg gratings. A light source provides multiplexed pulses as interrogation pulses for the array. The light pulses are applied to one end of the sensor array and a light detector detects reflected pulses. The detected pulses comprise a composite of reflections from all the Bragg gratings along the fiber. The apparatus processes the detected signals using an inverse scattering algorithm to detect an accurate phase response from each of the Bragg sensors while reducing crosstalk from other Bragg sensors within the array.
