Title: Inhibition of cytokine production
Inventor: EAGLES PETER ANTHONY MINTER
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 1999-01-20
Abstract: The invention provides a ds-DNA oligomer which has from 25 to 150 base pairs, preferably 25 to 50 base pairs, and comprises the palindrome-containing sequence (one strand only shown) of formula (1): 5'B1... xN...B 2 3', wherein B1 is ttgg or ccaa and B2 is correspondingly ccaa or ttgg and xN represents from 1 to 30 native nucleotides of substantially the native promoter sequence, together with the complementary strand, the oligomer being modified to make it resistant to degradation and denaturing in vivo. This oligomer or a vector carrying the palindrome-containing sequence (but not necessarily with the modification and not limited by any upper limit on the length of the oligomer sequence) can be used to inhibit transcription of the cytokine gene in vivo and is therefore useful in the therapy of diseases associated with undesired or excess production of cytokine.

Patent CA-2320382-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FISHER GLENN D
IPC: B01D46/52
Filed: 2000-09-21
Abstract: A stackable filter element has a pleated filter media of a selected length which has first and second end faces sealed by first and second annular gaskets. The first annular gasket has an annular rib thereon and the second annular gasket includes an annular groove which is dimensioned to complement the annular rib so that the filter element couples with a filter element having a similar gasket configuration.  In this way, the filter element may be used as a single filter element or may couple with other similarly configured filter elements. The other similarly configured filter elements may be of the same length as the first filter element or of various other lengths. Accordingly, filter arrangements may be provided with single filter elements or with composite filter elements from an inventory of various filter elements. This simplifies and lowers the cost of providing filter arrangements for devices such as co-generators that filter air.

Abstract: A patient monitoring apparatus for monitoring a physiological characteristic of said patient. A user interface (70) having an interior portion (74) communicates with an airway of a user such that substantially all gas inhaled, and exhaled by the user enters the interior portion (74). At least one vent element (76) is associated with the user interface (70), and communicates the interior portion (74) of the user interface with an ambient atmosphere. The vent element (74), user interface (70) define a flow element across which a pressure differential is created during inhalation, and exhalation. The pressure differential is the pressure difference between the pressure within the interior portion (74) of the user interface (70), and the pressure of the ambient atmosphere outside the user interface (70). A sensor (78) communicates with the interior portion (74) of the user interface (70), measures a fluid characteristic resulting from this pressure differential, and outputs a first signal indicative of the measured fluid characteristic.

Patent CA-2326359-A1 (CA)
Title: Injection device
Inventor: WEBER WILFRIED
IPC: A61M5/20
Filed: 1999-04-24
Abstract: The invention relates to an injection device that is used with a syringe, wherein the injection needle of the syringe is initially introduced into the skin and the injection fluid is injected afterwards. The injection device is essentially driven and controlled by a control sleeve (6) which can be displaced and/or rotated in relation to the housing (7) and which can be moved between a closing and functional position (P1) and an open and safety position (P2). In the closing and functional position, the control sleeve prevents access to the syringe and activates a release device for the injection process. In the open and safety position, a syringe (1) can be removed or inserted. A plurality of components carrying out the injection process (a slide (2) in which the syringe(1) is placed and a plunger (4) that impinges upon the syringe piston) are moved or controlled depending on the movement and position of the control sleeve or supported (for example, an ejection device for the syringe or a signaling device informing that injection has been completed). The inventive device enables full-automatic injection that can be reliably carried out by patients themselves with few handling procedures.

Abstract: In this invention, the album is comprised of loose-leaves, each of which is made of a clear double-layered plastic film. A willfully locatable clear membrane fixes and seals a photo and/or its caption of any size in any direction. The edges of the membrane apply adhesive rubber to stick a photo to a loose-leaf. The rubber does not directly contact the photo so that it cannot damage the original photo and can also relocate it. A  background and environment caption can be placed inside the double-layered loose-leaf or with a separate membrane. Therefore, this invention design allows users to locate photos and their background and caption willfully according to individual interests and makes or re-creates exquisite art photo albums with individual characteristics.

Patent CA-2337909-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YUN YU-SUK
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2000-05-29
Abstract: A device and method for continuous outer-loop power control on a physical channel which transmits only power control bits and no data while in discontinuous transmission (DTX) mode in a CDMA mobile communication system is disclosed.  In the power controlling device according to one aspect of the present invention, a frame error detector detects an error from a frame of predetermined length and generates an error signal indicating whether an error has been generated. A closed-loop power controller compares a threshold with the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in each power control group (PCG) in a plurality of periods of the frame and generates power control information according to the comparison result. An outer-loop power controller increases the threshold in order to generate power control information that commands a power increase in response to an error signal indicating the existence of a frame error, and decreases the threshold in order to generate power control information that commands a power decrease in response to an error signal indicating the absence of a frame error. An offset controlling unit, which is connected to the outer-loop power controller, receives gating information about the gated transmission of data in a frame at a predetermined rate, and generates an offset signal, which indicates an offset corresponding to a changed gating rate if the gating rate is changed.

Abstract: A process for removing or stabilizing arsenic and/or selenium from aqueous streams or slurries is provided that includes contacting the streams or slurry with a composition containing lanthanum chloride. The lanthalum chloride composition can optionally contain various lanthanides. The composition can optionally contain ferric or ferrous sulfate.  The process is preferably conducted by adjusting the pH of solution to between about 8 or 10, adding 2 moles of lanthanum chloride for every mole of arsenic or selenium ions present in solution, adding 5 to 6 moles ferric or ferrous ions for every mole of arsenic or selenium ions present in solution and adjusting the oxidation potential of the solution to between 200-400 mV for removal of selenium ions and between 100-200 mV for removal of arsenic ions. Using the processes of this invention, the selenium and arsenic concentrations can be reduced to less than currently acceptable limits and arsenic and selenium can be stabilized from leaching, decomposition or other degradation processes.
