Title: Transdermal patch incorporating active agent migration barrier layer
Inventor: MILLER KENNETH J II
IPC: A61K9/70
Filed: 2004-01-26
Abstract: Devices (100) for administration of one or more active agents to the skin or mucosa of a host are formed in the nature of a double-disk patch (100). One outer layer (110) functions as the primary adhesive layer for adhering the patch (100) to the host. The other inner layer (122) contains at least one active agent to be administered to the host. The inner layer (122) is bonded to the outer layer (110) through an opening (114) provided in an interposed active agent impermeable release layer (104). The release layer (104) separates a circumferential portion of the active agent containing inner layer (122) from the outer adhesive layer (220) to inhibit migration of the active agent therebetween.

Abstract: Disclosed a transmission apparatus in a CDMA mobile communication system. Transmission frames each have a plurality of time slots, and each of the time slots includes two data parts having the same length, a midamble intervening between the data parts, and a guard period for dividing the consecutive time slots. The transmission apparatus modulates the frames into a radio signal with a modulation signal and transmits the modulated radio signal using a plurality of antennas. A power amplifier amplifies the radio signal. A controller generates a switching control signal in a guard period of time slots of a frame associated with the radio signal amplified by the power amplifier. A switch switches the amplified radio signal from the power amplifier between a first and a second antenna in response to the switching control signal.

Abstract: Lenses for lamps can improve the quality of the light emitted through lens by interacting with the light bulb. Photoluminescent dyes as well as non-photoluminescent dyes may be incorporated into a polycarbonate lens in order to shift the chromaticity of the light source. Further, design features such as grooves or protrusions may be incorporated into the lens to allow light produced by the photoluminescent material to escape the lens and be added to the emitted beam to further shift the chromaticity. The emitted beam is of a legal color and intensity as defined per the SAEJ578 and SAEJ1383 standards. The lighting performance may also be improved in such manner as reducing discomfort glare, increasing brightness or producing a beam that enhances road visibility at night to the human eye.
Patent CA-2542934-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HE GUANGMING
IPC: B60T8/1761
Filed: 2006-04-03
Abstract: This invention pertains generally to braking system for the vehicle. The High Braking Efficiency Anti-Lock Brake System (HBE-ABS) is composed by wheel speed sensors(2), vehicle body acceleration sensors(1), brake pressure bleeding value(4), and Electronic Control Unit (3) ---ECU.     Its main feature is that the electronic control unit (3) monitors the body deceleration through the body acceleration sensors (1). When the body deceleration value is not increased, the ECU (3) starts to send pulse to bleed the more brake pressure to decrease the slip to get maximum brake efficiency. The pulse width is decided by the difference between the wheel deceleration and body deceleration. The wider the pulse is, the more the pressure will be bled. The body acceleration sensors provide the acceleration for the X and Y axis to ECU (3) to maintain the same track as before, and prevent the wheel over spinning.

Title: Processed products of wheat, barley, oats and rye including high functional ingredients content and its processing method
Inventor: ITO KAZUTOSHI
IPC: A23L7/152
Filed: 2004-12-09
Abstract: It is intended to provide a processed wheat product sustaining inherently desired properties and qualities which are achieved by improving the balance among arbitrary functional components and regulating the activities of unnecessary enzymes; and a processing method therefor. Depending on the conditions of desired functional components such as GABA, free amino acids and dietary fiber, wheat seeds are soaked in water and, subsequently, the sprouting time (days) and the drying temperature after soaking in water are controlled and the gibberellin-treatment after soaking in water is performed under controlled conditions. Thus, wheat containing the functional components such as GABA, free amino acids and dietary fiber in elevated amounts can be obtained. By extracting the wheat seeds with the use of an extraction step appropriately controlled to fit for desired functional components such as GABA, free amino acids and dietary fiber, a method for elevating the amounts of the functional components and a processed product obtained by this method can be provided. As a result, it is also possible to provide a food having functional components such as GABA and .beta.-glucan in elevated amounts by using the wheat having the functional components in elevated amounts or a processed product thereof as a starting material or a material for the food.

Patent CA-2552817-A1 (CA)
Title: Surgical dissector
Inventor: SIEROCUK THOMAS J
IPC: A61B17/94
Filed: 1996-03-21
Abstract: A surgical instrument having an elongated shaft to which is attached an inflatable balloon, commonly referred to a "balloon dissector", for dissecting a desired layer of internal bodily tissue from remaining tissue layers to create an operative space is disclosed. Alternatively, an instrument without a balloon can be used to perform a manual dissection. In one embodiment, the instrument has a tissue-contacting element in communication with the shaft distal end, and at least a portion of the tissue-contacting element is transparent. The instrument is adapted to receive an endoscope through its shaft and extend to adjacent the tissue-contacting element. The endoscope is supported and positioned in an extension assembly. The instrument provides for visualization using the endoscope as the instrument is advanced through tissue, but prevents direct contact between the tip of the endoscope containing the lens and the tissue. The extension assembly also enables the endoscope to be adequately positioned and supported beyond the shaft distal end. When the instrument incorporates the balloon, the endoscope can extend into the lumen of the inflated balloon. In this way, improved visualization during use can be obtained.

Filed: 2005-02-03
Abstract: Methods and systems that help control when and how stereoscopic content should be viewed, based on both geometry of the viewing system and the geometry used to generate the content are shown. One example embodiment utilizes the specifications of the system used to capture the image data to determine the geometry of the image content, and encodes this content geometry along with the stored image data. This content geometry data is then analyzed by display systems to determine appropriate geometries for a viewing system. Data arranged according to one embodiment is a series of digitally stored video frames representing a stereoscopic prospective view of an image or scene. This prospective view was rendered using a specific content geometry, and this geometry is digitally encoded and stored with, or embedded in, the digital image data.

Title: Recovery of inorganic salt during processing of lignocellulosic feedstocks
Inventor: RAHME ZIYAD
IPC: C07G1/00
Filed: 2005-04-12
Abstract: A method for recovering inorganic salt during processing of a lignocellulosic feedstock is provided. The method comprises pretreating the lignocellulosic feedstock by adding an acid to the feedstock to produce a pretreated lignocellulosic feedstock. A soluble base is then added to the pretreated lignocellulosic feedstock to adjust the pH and produce a neutralized feedstock. The neutralized feedstock is then enzymatically hydrolyzed to produce an enzyme hydrolyzed feedstock and a sugar stream. Inorganic salt is recovered from either a stream obtained from the lignocellulosic feedstock prior to the step of pretreating, a stream obtained from the pretreated lignocellulosic feedstock, a stream obtained from the neutralized feedstock, a stream obtained from the sugar stream, or a combination of these streams. The inorganic salt may be concentrated, clarified, recovered and purified by crystallization, electrodialysis drying, or agglomeration and granulation, and then used as desired, for example as a fertilizer.
