Patent GB-2443738-A (GB)
Title: A sustained release methotrexate composition and methods of use thereof
Inventor: DERVIEUX THIERRY
IPC: A61K9/22
Filed: 2007-11-09
Abstract: Described herein is an oral pharmaceutical composition comprising methotrexate which has a sustained release profile. Measured by the USP type II dissolution apparatus (paddle method) the composition exhibits a release profile with more than about 80 % of the methotrexate released within 8-18 hours, see the dissolution profiles of formulation P2, P4, P5, and P6 at figure 6. Further the composition comprises a hydrophilic polymer as for example Carbopol and gas generating agents in form of carbonate salt or bicarbonate salt. Consequently, the composition will swell and float in the stomach, which delays the passage of the composition through the pylorus and increases gastrointestinal residence. In addition methods of treating or preventing diseases as for example autoimmune diseases and cancer by treatment with the oral sustained release methotrexate composition are described. In some embodiments, these approaches improve the pharmacotherapeutic performance of methotrexate therapy.

Title: Collapsible corner reflector with a rapid deployment system
Inventor: BARLOW ANDREW
IPC: H01Q15/20
Filed: 2008-01-24
Abstract: A collapsible corner reflector assembly comprises multiple collapsible corners each with three reflecting planes at right angles to one another, when in a deployed condition. The reflectors are supported by six stressed resilient struts. A first group of three struts 2b are attached to a piston and may be stored in a parallel state within a piton tube 6. A second group of three struts 2a are attached to a hub 3 arranged at a first end of the piston tube 6 with a hole through which the first three struts 2b may be deployed. A propellant is disposed at the second end of the piston tube 6. Activation of the propellant drives the piston such that the first group of struts 2b slide through the hole in the hub 3 in the axial direction of the piston tube 6 causing the corner reflector to be deployed. The stress in the struts and the reflective fabric material may be arranged to hold the reflector in its deployed condition. The second group of struts 2a may be stored in a parallel manner around the outside of the piston tube 6. The propellant means may be screwed on to the second end of the piston tube 6 and may involve a small volume of pyrotechnic gas. The hub 3 may be clipped to the first end of the piston tube 6 such that it disengages from the tube 6 when the reflector is fully deployed. The length of the struts may be adjustable to accommodate a range of reflector sizes.

Title: Sash window restrictor having a protruding member and retaining mechanism
Inventor: DERHAM MICHAEL
IPC: E05B63/20
Filed: 2008-06-19
Abstract: A sash window restrictor 20, 120, has a housing 22, 122, which is to be let into a vertical frame member (10, fig.1) to limit movement of a sash window. A sash obstructing tab 24, 124, is mounted in the housing and obstructing tab can be retracted into the housing so as not to block a sash or extended from the housing to stop a sash. A mechanism acts between the tab and the housing and allows the tab to be pressed into the housing and held in the housing for a period of time before the tab is released to allow the tab to extend. The sash abutting tab may be mounted for pivotal or sliding movement and may be spring biased into the extended blocking position or moved due to gravity. The obstructing tab may be positively held in the retracted position by a latch mechanism such as a push-push mechanism whereby a first push withdraws the tab and a second push extends the tab; the second push either being manually pressed by an operator or actuated automatically by the passing of a window to the closed position to automatically release and extend the tab blocking subsequent movement toward the open position. Instead of a latching mechanism the tab may comprise a damping means to slow the movement of the tab and provide a delay between movement from the retracted position to the extended position. A second lock may be provided to lock the tab in the extended position. The pivotal embodiment may have multiple coil spring biased sprocket wheels and include a clutch mechanism.

Title: An adjustable reel or yarn carrier
IPC: B65H49/30
Filed: 1931-04-02
Abstract: 368,551. Skein - holders. STAUFFENEGGER, R. C., 13, Spl³genstrasse, St. Gallen, Switzerland. April 2, 1931, No. 10091. [Class 120 (ii).] An adjustable reel or yarn carrier comprising double-armed carriers slidable on spring-like guide saddles mounted on bosses employs the spring of the saddles to keep the bosses in selectively adjusted relationship. Secured on a spindle 5 are bosses 1, 3 which alternate with bosses 2, 4 rotatably mounted thereon but preventing from rotating relatively to one another by guide saddles 6 of spring wire. The two ends of each saddle are inserted in radial holes 16, in the bosses 2, 4 respectively, to a distance determined by stepped portions 17 which rest in axial grooves 15 in the bosses. Spring tensioning rings 19 in circumferential grooves 18 lock the ends in the holes 16 but permit removal for packing &c. The boss 3 carries similarly mounted drivers 10 each having at its outer end a hinge member 11 engaged by the inwardly directed ends 14 of a doublearmed carrier 12 for the yarn. A space 7 between the bosses 3, 4 is normally maintained by the resilience of the guide saddles 6 which press a toothed ring 8 on the boss 4 into engagement with a toothed ring 9 secured to the spindle 5. The teeth are directed to one side so that the effective diameter of the reel may be increased by merely rotating the bosses 2, 4 to bring the guide saddles 6 nearer their respective drivers 10 but to reduce the diameter, the saddle guides 6 must be pressed inwards before rotating the bosses.
