Patent CA-2347482-A1 (CA)
Title: Infrared atr glucose measurement system
Inventor: BERMAN HERBERT L
IPC: A61B5/145
Filed: 1999-10-12
Abstract: This involves a non-invasive glucose measurement device and a process for determining blood glucose level in the human body using the device. In typical operation, the glucose measurement device is self-normalizing in that it does not employ an independent reference sample in its operation. The device uses attenuated total reflection (ATR) infrared spectroscopy. Preferably, the device is used on a fingertip and compares two specific regions of a measured infrared spectrum to determine the blood glucose level of the user. Clearly, this device is especially suitable for monitoring glucose levels in the human body, and is especially beneficial to users having diabetes mellitus. The device and procedure may be used for other analyte materials which exhibit unique mid-IR signatures of the type described herein and that are found in appropriate regions of the outer skin.

Title: Compressed lecithin preparations
Inventor: ORTHOEFER FRANK T
IPC: A61K8/00
Filed: 2000-02-07
Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions primarily comprised of phospholipids, commercially known as lecithin, wherein the phospholipids form a solid mass - a liquid crystal phospholipid (LCP)- without the use of emulsifiers or other ingredients which are typically used as carriers for phospholipids. The invention also relates to the methods for making the phospholipid compositions. More particularly, the invention relates to a physical form a phospholipids and its use as a topical cosmetic skin bar, as a nutrient supplement or as a pharmaceutical dosage form if taken orally.  Regardless of the exact shape of the new phospholipid composition, it comprises an amount of phospholipid equal to at least about 20 % by weight of the total product. The new composition of the phospholipids appears as a solid which is produced by subjecting granular or powdered phospholipids to high levels of pressure which result in the formation of the solid phospholipid composition.

Title: Methods and systems for enabling a reply call to a voice mail message
Inventor: BRAND JOEL
IPC: H04M3/48
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: Methods and systems for enabling a subscriber to reply to a voice mail message that has been made available for the subscriber at a voice mail system (VMS).  In response to an indication, the VMS transmits a release message with respect to the subscriber's communication to the VMS, which communication then is terminated to an intelligent network element (INE). The INE originates a call to the party to whom the subscriber desires to reply. The subscriber's communication and the INE's call are bridged to form the reply call from the subscriber to the party. The VMS is not included in the call path. After the reply call is concluded, the bridge is dismantled, the IP is released, and the subscriber's communication is returned to interaction with the VMS without the subscriber having to make a separate call into the VMS.

Patent CA-2373959-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHARMA MEENAKSHI
IPC: H04Q11/00
Filed: 2002-02-28
Abstract: A technique for improving optical cross-connections comprises placing a switch in front of a number of processing units. So configured, the units are no longer dedicated to a specific link or signal. When necessary, a unit is connected/disconnected to one or more optical links by the switch to carry out any number of processing functions, such as regeneration, Raman pumping, dispersion equalization/compensation or performance monitoring. Because the units are no longer dedicated to specific links the cost of the cross-connections and the network it is a part of can be reduced.

Title: Insert for pressurized liquid containers, in particular, beverage containers
Inventor: VON DER HEIDE STEFAN
IPC: B65D79/00
Filed: 2002-04-02
Abstract: An insert for insertion into a pressurized container for liquids has a component chamber for receiving an active substance and a pressure chamber for introducing the active substance into the liquid when opening the container for liquids. The pressure chamber has at least one small outer bore. The insert is freely movable in the container for liquids but has such a stable floating position on a surface of the liquid within the container for the liquids that the outer bore always points upwardly and optimizes a pressure compensation with the environment. After opening the container for liquids, the resulting relative overpressure in the pressure chamber in relation to the released pressure, in the container for liquids effects an opening of the component chamber.

The applied mediator oxidizing applied potential is maintained for a period of time sufficient to determine the rate of change of current with time through electrode (12). The current flow is correlated with the current flow for known concentrations of the analyte in medium (24).
