Title: Heat-processed products having altered monomer profiles and processes for controlling the epimerization of (-)-epicatechin and (+)-catechin in the products
Inventor: ACQUARONE VALERIA
IPC: A23L5/10
Filed: 2006-06-29
Abstract: A method for controlling the epimerization of (-)-epicatechin to (-)-catechin in an epicatechin-containing product, preferably an edible product, or of (+)-catechin to (+)-epicatechin in a catechin-containing product, comprises the step of heating the product at a temperature of up to about 200~ C and at a pH  of up to about 8. Under either method, the epimerization may be carried out in an open food processor in a reduced oxygen atmosphere or in a closed food processor. The edible product may be pasteurized, boiled, or sterilized during the epimerization. Epimerization is minimized by lowering the heating temperature, by lowering the pH, and/or by lowering the heating time.  Conversely, the epimerization is maximized by increasing the heating temperature, by increasing the pH, and/or by increasing the heating time. The edible product may contain or be a fruit product, a vegetable product, a cereal product, a bean product, a nut product, a spice product, or a botanical product.

Abstract: The invention relates to fusion proteins useful as therapeutics against cancer. The fusion protein comprises of cell-targeting moiety and apoptosis-inducing moiety. Cell-targeting moiety and apoptosis-inducing moiety are linked by a flexible linker, which are specifically recognized by cancer specific protease and cleaved in situ to release the apoptotic domain. In particular, the invention is illustrated by a recombinant fusion protein between human Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) and BH3 domain of Bcl2 family protein, linked by a linker that has site for cancer specific proteases. The fusion protein specifically targets VIP receptor over-expressing cancer cells and induces cell-specific apoptosis after cleavage at the linker site by cancer specific proteases. Such fusion proteins are useful for the delivery of therapeutic/apoptotic moiety (peptides) to specific cells with perturbed expression of, but not limited to neuropeptide receptors.

Abstract: Using a fracture limit stress line obtained by converting a hole expansion ratio into a stress as a criterion for a fracture, the risk of fracture in a material is evaluated quantitatively by comparing the relationship between data obtained from a numerical analysis using a finite element method and the fracture limit stress line. Thus, when determining a fracture limit in a stretch flange portion in a thin plate in a process including one or more deformation path variations, it is possible to obtain the fracture limit curve easily and efficiently and predict the fracture with high accuracy, and the risk of fracture upon press forming or crash can be evaluated.

Patent CA-2644679-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SMYTH HUGH
IPC: A61M15/00
Filed: 2007-03-01
Abstract: The present invention comprises a dry powder inhaler (DPI) that uses a patient's inhalation flow to concentrate energy in an aeroelastic element for deaggregation and dispersion of a powder dose. The result is a DPI that delivers a dose independent of inspiratory abilities of the patient, solving a major problem of conventional DPIs. Increased tension on the aeroelastic element causes higher frequency vibrations and improved powder dispersion. The tension of the aeroelastic element can be modified prior to dispensing the DPI to the patient, allowing for individualization for single patients or groups of patients. In addition, the DPI has features that increase the turbulence of the airflow as it passes through the device, further increasing the dispersion and deaggregation of the powder. The DPI can hold a single dose or multiple doses. The powder doses can be dispensed directly onto the aeroelastic element, or may be in adjacent blister packaging.
