Patent CA-2348844-A1 (CA)
Title: Composes et ses utilisations therapeutiques dans la prevention de complications d'un diabetique
Inventor: BROWN TRUMAN R
IPC: A61P43/00
Filed: 1999-10-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne une classe de composés inhibant la conversion enzymatique de fructose-lysine en fructose-lysine-3-phosphate dans une réaction dépendante de l'ATP dans une voie métabolique nouvellement découverte. Selon le fonctionnement normal de cette voie, le fructose-lysine-3-phosphate (FL3P) est décomposé en une lysine de forme libre, en phosphate inorganique et en 3-désoxyglucosone (3DG), cette dernière étant un agent modifiant une protéine réactive. La 3DG peut être détoxifiée par réduction en 3-désoxyfructose (3DF), ou elle peut réagir avec des protéines endogènes pour former des protéines modifiées par un produit final de glycation avancée (protéines AGE), dont on croit qu'elles sont une cause participant à des complications diabétiques. L'invention concerne également des méthodes thérapeutiques d'utilisation de ces inhibiteurs pour réduire la formation de protéines AGE et ainsi amoindrir, réduire ou retarder les complications diabétiques, de même que des méthodes d'évaluation du risque d'un diabétique de développer des complications, et de détermination de l'efficacité de la thérapie par inhibiteurs décrite, par mesure du rapport entre 3DG et 3DF dans un échantillon biologique après administration d'une dose orale d'un produit alimentaire à base de fructose-lysine.

Title: Snowplow attachment for pushing and pulling snow up close to buildings or other permanent structures
Inventor: NORTON ROBERT W
IPC: E01H5/06
Filed: 2001-06-06
Abstract: A snowplow attachment for mounting to the front end of a vehicle that includes both a push blade operable during forward movement of vehicle and a pull blade operable during reverse movement of the vehicle. The pull blade drops down in front of the push blade such that pushed snow can then be pulled back. The snowplow can get up close to permanent structures such as buildings and remove snow therefrom. During the push mode, the pull blade is raised to avoid interference with pushed snow. The snowplow can include side plates located on the ends of the blades for containing the snow and prevent snow from escaping out the sides, thereby increasing the volume of snow moved by the plow during one sweep. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the snowplow includes a push blade assembly that is adapted to mount directly on the vehicle and a movable pull blade carried by the push blade assembly. According to another embodiment of the invention, separate push blades and pull blades are arranged at separate locations on the attachment such that the entire attachment pivots to alternatively locate one of the blades close to the ground for selecting between pushing or pulling modes.

Title: The application of the light valve to holographic stereograms
Inventor: PAGE MICHAEL
IPC: G03H1/26
Filed: 2001-07-10
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for producing holographic stereograms. Holographic stereograms have made possible the creation of holograms of both real objects in natural or studio lighting and virtual objects created using three-dimensional graphics. There are several approaches for creating holograms from digital graphics. This paper discusses the application of the light valve to the process along with other related developments.  Artists can now produce high quality inexpensive, medium-format holograms using this direct-link to digital media. Future developments will led to even higher resolution Digital Image-Light-Amplifier (D-ILA) systems.
