Title: Control of male fertility using externally inducible promoter sequences
Inventor: ALBERTSEN MARC C
IPC: A01H1/00
Filed: 1993-03-09
Granted: 1997-09-18
Abstract: An inducible promoter is used to regulate expression of a gene which is known to be critical to male fertility. The selected gene's control sequences are modified so that it is normally "off" and as a result the plants are male sterile. When it is desired to reproduce the male sterile plants, male fertility is restored by treating the plants with a non-phytotoxic chemical which induces expression of the critical gene. A critical gene is one which affects flavonol production and in particular compounds of the formula:    <IMAGE>   wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R7, and R8, are hydrogen, hydroxyl or alkoxy having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Particularly preferred flavonols include galangin, kaempferol, iso-rhamnetin, quercetin and morin.

Title: Dental treatment system
Inventor: GALLANT BEN J
IPC: B24C7/00
Filed: 1993-03-26
Granted: 1997-10-09
Abstract: A system of treating teeth or associated tooth structure uses abrasive-laden fluid stream. The system provides air at high pressure to a manifold with selectively operable valves delivers fluid at a selected pressure to a device for mixing the fluid with abrasive and delivers the air/abrasive mix to a hand-held device for application of an abrasive-laden stream to a tooth or associated tooth structure. Priming air at a relatively low pressure pressurizes the air/abrasive device. A flow path for pure air bypasses the air/abrasive device. A selective control allows for optional delivery of a stream of air or air and abrasive to the tooth or associated tooth structure. Upon termination of a treatment, the pure air is diverted through a purge line to purge the system downstream from the abrasive device of abrasive particles. A vacuum removes abrasive particles and debris from the region of the mouth of the patient during and after the abrasive treatment operation. The abrasive delivery device includes a hand-held nozzle having fluid ports operable by the fingers of the operator to control the instrument. The vacuum includes a rigid, disposable collection chamber for sterile disposal of the abrasive material and debris. Pressure regulating and relief means insure instantaneous change from one pressure level to the next.

Title: Anti-carious chewing gums, candies, gels, toothpastes and dentifrices
Inventor: CHOW LAURENCE C
IPC: A23G4/06
Filed: 1997-08-19
Granted: 2001-07-05
Abstract: The invention relates to anticarious delivery vehicles, specifically chewing gums, candies, confectioneries, toothpastes, dentifrices and gels. The invention specifically provides chewing gums, candies, confectioneries, toothpastes, dentifrices and gels containing non-toxic sparingly soluble calcium and phosphate compounds as additives, causing the release of calcium and phosphate ions into the oral cavity gradually and persistently for a period no less than 5 minutes. The invention provides released calcium phosphate ions that diffuse into partially demineralized tooth enamel or dentin, leading to remineralization and repair of caries lesions, dental plaque, open dentinal tubules and exposed dentin. The invention thus provides agents and methods for remineralization of teeth and for reducing or eradicating cariogenic challenge in plaque following sucrose intake. The formulations of the invention can thereby produce effective anticaries actions without the use of fluoride. In addition, the formulations of the invention can be used to desensitize hypersensitive teeth.

Title: Multiple electromagnetic tiles for boundary layer control
Inventor: NOSENCHUCK DANIEL M
IPC: B64C23/00
Filed: 1993-06-25
Granted: 1996-10-31
Abstract: The boundary layer of a fluid travelling in a mean-flow direction relative to a surface of a wall (100) of a body is controlled by generating in the fluid a magnetic field B &cir&  NOt  (103) having flux lines parallel to the surface of the wall and an electric current density J &cir&  NOt  (109) traversing the magnetic flux lines in the fluid to form a control region. An electrolyte or other conductivity-enhancing material (13) is introduced into the flow to provide a conductivity gradient in the fluid flow in the near-wall region. The magnetic field B &cir&  NOt  (103) and the electric current density J &cir&  NOt  (109) create in the control region a force J &cir&  NOt  X B &cir&  NOt  (131) having a component normal to the surface of the wall that because of the conductivity gradient in the fluid flow near the surface can stabilize or destabilize flow in the boundary layer. A plurality of such control regions are arranged in an array of control tiles that can be individually actuated to reduce the power required to provide boundary layer control over a given area.

Title: Use of L-carnitine and its alkanoyl derivatives in the preparation of medicaments with anticancer activity
Inventor: CAVAZZA CLAUDIO
IPC: A61K33/243
Filed: 1999-07-27
Granted: 2003-08-28
Abstract: A method for preventing and/or treating peripheral neuropathies induced by the administration of an anticancer agent of the family of platin compounds, taxanes, epothilone class, vinca alkaloids, said method comprising the administration in a co-ordinated manner to a subject suffering from said peripheral neuropathies, or expected to suffer from said peripheral neuropathies, an effective amount of acetyl L-carnitine or of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In case of prevention, acetyl L-carnitine is administered to a subject, in view of the need of a treatment with an anticancer agent, immediately before or immediately after surgical removal of the tumor, but in any case before the administration of the anticancer agent. Acetyl L-carnitine can enhance the supportive effect of physiological NGF during chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, thus avoiding the problem of the local and general side effects of the exogenous administration of NGF which are a major problem of this neuroprotective strategy.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring means and for detecting motion in the vicinity of the apparatus, particularly a non-invasive cardio-­pulmonary activity, is disclosed comprising an electrostatic charge detector (10) for providing an output signal including signals indicative of motion, e.g. cardio-pulmonary activity of a person in the vicinity of the detector. A detection apparatus (Figure 2) is connected to receive the signals and to filter the extraneous noise signals from the signals of interest to provide output signals indicative only of the motion of interest of cardio-pulmonary activity of the person. Breathing signals are applied to a comparator (66) which is tripped if breathing occurs at a rate below a predetermined value. Cardiac signals are applied to a circuit which adjusts the trip level for the breathing rate if the cardiac rate declines to a level suggestive of brady-­cardia without breathing rate increases. The filtering circuit for the signal supplied by the charge detector incorporates a dual integrator (24) operating as a frequency selective charged amplifier which is effective to substan­tially eliminate all signals outside of the range of about 0.1 to 15 Hz.
