Inventor: DE LARYSSA ALEXANDRE
IPC: D21C9/10
Filed: 2005-10-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to a deinking composition and a method of deinking wastepaper by using a mixture of enzymes that act on constituents of all three waste paper components involved in ink retention on final pulp. The first component represents substrates located on the surface and in the internal waste paper structure. The second component represents substrates located in the interface between paper and ink, usually formed by coatings or size-press (starch containing or not) applied layers. The third component represents substrates located in the ink and/or toner compounds. This method provides improved performance in relation to conventional methods, or current deinking with enzymes, which acts on a limited number of substrates involved in ink retention on final pulp.

Title: Agent inducing increase in bone mass
Inventor: KANOH HIROYUKI
IPC: A61K45/00
Filed: 2004-06-30
Abstract: In metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis, it is frequently observed that bone strength is lowered due to a decrease in bone mass and, in its turn, there arise pain such as lumbar pain and bone fracture. Thus, it is urgently required to design a drug capable of controlling the entire bone metabolism to thereby increase bone mass and elevate bone strength. A medicinal composition or combination containing a nonpeptidic osteoblast differentiation promoting compound originating in a nonliving material and bisphosphonate having an effect of inhibiting bone resorption is useful as an agent inducing an increase in bone mass which is capable of controlling bone metabolism to thereby increase bone mass and/or elevate bone strength.

Title: Directional lamp daytime running light module, fog light system and vehicular turn signal control system
Inventor: KESTERSON RAYMOND
IPC: B60Q1/26
Filed: 2004-10-20
Abstract: A vehicular light control system for controlling the illumination of a vehicle's external directional/turn signaling and/or hazard warning lights, by controlling continuous illumination of pairs of the brightest signal filaments of either dual or single filament bulb designed vehicles, where such bulbs were previously flash only and underutilized. The system operates to control the brightest filaments when the operator wishes to draw attention to the vehicle for safety, or for visibility and utility purposes, without the same system negatively affecting normal operation of existing turn signal/hazard warning systems. The system automatically and manually controls the light output as desired by the vehicle operator, incorporates the vehicle's internal turn signal bulb-out indication subsystem to continuously monitor the target bulbs for an open circuit/burn out event, and employs an automatic safety reconnect feature, a failsafe which reconnects all factory wiring with factory bulbs instantaneously with any accidental or intentional system power loss.

Patent CA-2546787-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CREMASCO PAOLO F
IPC: B62B1/22
Filed: 2006-05-12
Abstract: A conventional wheelbarrow is designed to carry loads that fit within the dimensions of the wheelbarrow bucket. Loads that exceed the dimensions of the wheelbarrow bucket are difficult to transport. A load that exceeds the dimensions of the wheelbarrow bucket may fall off of the wheelbarrow without any resistance. The Wheelbarrow Load Anchoring System resolves this problem by anchoring the load to the wheelbarrow. The Wheelbarrow Load Anchoring System is design to secure loads to a wheelbarrow where the load exceeds the wheelbarrow bucket dimensions, and to provide a means of storage of the wheelbarrow. The wheelbarrow load is secured by wrapping a rope around the load and, in turn, the rope is then secured to the anchor cleats. The anchor cleats are fixed to the wheelbarrow handlebars using screws.

Title: Method for radio bearer optimization through an adaptive access probability factor
Inventor: CAI ZHIJUN
IPC: G06F15/16
Filed: 2005-04-04
Abstract: A communication system (100) determines whether to establish a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication for conveyance of Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (MBMS) data based on a number of user equipments (102-104) being serviced by the communication system for MBMS service. The system broadcasts an access probability factor (154) in a control message to the user equipments. For a large number of MBMS users being counted (158), the method will select a point-to-multipoint broadcast (160). If the number of user equipments being counted is relatively small, the access probability factor is modified by a ratio of the number of point-to-point connections over the point-to-multipoint connections over the number of users being counted (174). The UE  may need to join multiple base stations' in the counting procedure to obtain the system diversity gain.

Title: Method and system for arranging a paint color display
Inventor: RICE MARY ROSE
IPC: G01J3/52
Filed: 2004-12-22
Abstract: One aspect of the present invention provides a method for systematically arranging paint color samples for convenient browsing and identification of desired colors by shoppers. Paint color sample cards are arranged on a two-dimensional display surface such that colors of similar hue are categorized or grouped together (e.g., along a column). Groups of paint color sample cards having different base hue or color are arranged such that there is a gradual transition between paint colors from one region to the next region. For instance, the colors of sample cards may gradually change from column to column across a two-dimensional display. Additionally, within each color group, paint color sample cards are arranged from most chromatic to least chromatic colors. Another aspect of the invention provides for accent color sample cards to be displayed adjacent to the various base color groups.
