Patent CA-2238601-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCLEAN DAVID I
IPC: A61K41/00
Filed: 1998-05-25
Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides a diagnostic method for identifying psoriatic plaques in which Porphyrins, particularly protoporphyrin IX, are elevated as compared to normal skin and skin of patients with other dermatological diseases, including other forms of psoriatic plaque.  Psoriatic plaques with elevated porphyrin levels may be detected by fluorescence and spectral analysis. Endogenous porphyrins in psoriatic plaques may be activated with visible light to treat psoriatic plaques having elevated porphyrin concentrations.  Skin conditions may be optimized to increase the endogenous concentration of porphyrins in psoriatic plaques. A topical formulation may be applied to psoriatic plaques to optimize skin conditions such as pH, iron concentration, temperature, hydration, calcium concentration, oxygenation, electrical conductivity and estrogen concentration to increase the concentration of endogenous porphyrins.

Abstract: The  present  invention  is  a  powdered  stain  remover formulation which when mixed with water exhibits  bleaching and stain  discoloration properties  together  with  the  required detergency,  and also exhibits mildewcide and bacteriocidal properties.  The formulation includes calcium hypochlorite; a surfactant to promote detergency by emulsification,  such as sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and a polyacrylic acid salt, such as sodium polyacrylate, to further promote cleaning by chelation.   The stain remover formulation is applied to the stained surface by spraying,  rolling or brushing.   In this manner, water stains, tobacco,  soot, mold, mildew and other stains are readily removed from the desired surface, such as sprayed textured walls and ceilings, tiles, masonry, fiberglass and plastic furniture.  Importantly, this is done so without any further need to rub or wipe the surface

Abstract: A vehicle seat is provided for use in a vehicle including floor means having a pair of front and rear wells and anchor members extending across the wells. The seat is movable between a fixed, operative position and forwardly tumbled, storage position. The vehicle seat includes a pair of rigid support structures disposed on opposite sides of the vehicle seat. Front and rear legs are mounted on each of the pair of rigid support structures.      Each of the legs includes a front and rear hook member for latching and unlatching the seat with respect to the anchor members. Each of the rear legs is pivotally coupled to an associated rigid support structure so as to be movable between (1) an operative position extending generally downwardly with respect to an associated rigid support structure, and (2) a forwardly folded position disposed generally adjacent an associated rigid support structure.      Handle structure is coupled to at last one of the rear legs in a position to be manually grasped and operated at a side of the vehicle seat for unlatching the rear hook members thereby permitting the vehicle seat to be pivoted about the front anchor members and moved to the forwardly tumbled, storage position thereof.      The handle structure includes a lost-motion connection constructed and arranged such that when the rear legs move toward the forwardly folded position thereof causing a portion of the handle structure to contact a surface of an associated rigid support which would otherwise restrict movement of the rear legs, the lost-motion connection permits the handle structure to move, enabling the rear legs to complete movement to the forwardly folded position thereof.

Patent CA-2256187-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WRIGHT SARAH LUCY
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-12-15
Abstract: A connection broker (44), located between lower-level system entities (16, 58, 264) associated with a narrowband-broadband interface (250) and a call server (18) that controls call connection across the narrowband-broadband network, contains a memory (251) that stores connection-related information and protocol converters. The connection broker (44) accesses the protocol converters to interpret control messages received from the call server (18) and, where necessary, transposes messages for the call server into a standardised format for use over a uniform fabric application interface (66). Control messages pertaining to connection paths within the narrowband-broadband network (250) and relayed via the connection broker (44) are appropriately phrased (by the connection-related information and protocol converters) to ensure that meaningful information and instruction is communicated between the call server (18) and the lower-level system entities (16, 58, 264). Use of the protocol converters therefore enables connection attributes and network operation and configuration to be altered and advised in-call by having the connection broker (44) both change connection-related information and communicate any change in network configuration to the call server and lower-level system entities, as appropriate.
