Patent CA-2477110-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WILMOT KENNETH
IPC: A23L19/18
Filed: 2003-02-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a frozen potato chip comprising the steps of peeling a potato, cutting the potato into strips, blanching the strips for a time equal to 60-95 % of the time to disintegration, drying the strips by 10-20 % by weight reduction in moisture content, frying the strips at 130-160 ~C for 20-30 seconds, and freezing the strips. The method has the combined effect of shrinking the surface layer of potato cells, so that a somewhat leathery 'skin' is developed. As a consequence the surface layer is less likely to absorb fat during the frying stage. Furthermore, because blanching is carried out to the optimum, the frying stage can be substantially shortened, and thus the opportunity for fat absorption is also reduced whilst allowing a caterer to better satisfy demand for freshly fried chips rather than frying in advance in anticipation of demand.

Patent CA-2492893-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JAMES ROBERT
IPC: G02B6/12
Filed: 2005-01-14
Abstract: A planar lightwave circuit device includes one or more planar lightwave circuits (PLCs) each having an optical layer deposited on a substrate, and a package base including one or more support structures for suspending the planar lightwave circuit above a portion of the package base. Each substrate has a first coefficient of thermal expansion, whereas the package base has a second coefficient of thermal expansion. The first and second coefficients of thermal expansion differ such that a change in temperature causes the support to apply one of a compressive and a tensile force to the planar lightwave circuit in a plane within or parallel to the plane of the planar lightwave circuit. The induced stress can modify the optical performance of the PLC device, e.g. to reduce the temperature sensitivity of the device and thus maintain device performance, or for providing efficient passive or dynamic tuning of the device.

The pancreatic differentiation agent composition comprises a gastrin/CCK receptor ligand, e.g., a gastrin, in an amount sufficient to effect differentiation of pancreatic islet precursor cells to mature insulin-secreting cells. The cell expansion agent composition comprises one or more epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor ligand in an amount sufficient to stimulate proliferation of the precursor cells. The methods of treatment include transplanting either undifferentiated precursor cells and providing the pancreatic differentiatio n agent either alone or in combination with the cell expansion agent in situ, or transplanting the functional pancreatic islet .beta.-cells into the patient. The pancreatic islet .beta.-cells can be used for drug screening, and replenishing pancreatic function in the context of clinical treatment.</SDOA B>

Title: A method of extending the dose range of vitamin d compounds
Inventor: CLAGETT-DAME MARGARET
IPC: A61K45/06
Filed: 2003-06-26
Abstract: Inhibitors of bone calcium resorption are administered to allow high doses of vitamine D compounds or mimetics to be given the intent of treating non-calcium related diseases such as cancer, psoriasis, and autoimmune disease without the dangers of calcification of kidney, heart, and aorta. Inhibitors of bone calcium resorption include the bis-phosphonates, OPG or the soluble RANKL receptor known as sRANK, and function to block the availabilite of calcium from bone thereby preventing hypercalcemia and the resulting calcification of soft tissues. Thus, high doses of 1.alpha.,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3), its analogs, prodrugs, or mimetics can be utilized with minimal risk to a patient. Specifically, alendronate is shown to block the bone calcium mobilization activity of both 1,25-(OH)2D3 and its very potent analog, 2-methylene-19-nor(20S)-1.alpha.,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3.

Title: Method for a high temperature short-time distillation of residual oil
Inventor: ZENTNER UDO
IPC: C10G9/28
Filed: 2003-07-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for a high temperature short-time distillation of residual oil. The method according to the invention is characterized by a technically simple recovery of a small residual fraction from a gas and/or oil vapour mixture produced by a mixing apparatus (1). Said small residual fraction contains large quantities of undesirable polluting catalytic substances (CCR, Ni, V, asphaltenes). For this purpose, the gas and/or oil vapour mixture produced by the mixing apparatus (1) is diluted with gas or water vapour in a column (17) at a temperature of 450°C in such a way that a high boiling fraction, which has a high content of the pollutant substances and whose initial boiling point is higher than 450°C, is condensed and extracted.  Another realization of the method consists in introducing a non condensed oil produced in the column (17) into a fractionating column (19), where said oil is decomposed in order to produce a depressurized gas oil fraction having a low content of pollutants and a benzine/gas oil fraction.
