Patent CA-2505605-C (CA)
Title: Impression de motifs structuraux dans des bandes absorbantes
Inventor: CHEN FUNG-JOU
IPC: B41M3/00
Filed: 2003-08-29
Granted: 2011-11-22
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un processus et un procédé permettant de former des motifs de texture tridimensionnels dans une bande de papier, consistant à imprimer un matériau adhésif sur une surface de la bande. Plus précisément, il s'est avéré que certaines technologies d'impression à basse pression pouvaient être utilisées pour fixer un matériau adhésif sur la surface d'une bande de papier, tel qu'un papier ménager, une feuille de papier air-laid ou une bande de non-tissé fibreux. L'adhésif peut être appliqué sur la bande, avant, pendant ou après que la bande a été moulée, pour augmenter la texture superficielle. La bande peut être moulée sous une pression relativement faible afin d'augmenter la texture superficielle sans provoquer une déformations importante des fibres du papier. Le matériau adhésif polymérisé permet d'éviter que la texture ajoutée ne se détende et redevienne bidimensionnelle ou peut fournir une texture supplémentaire formant un relief sur la surface de la bande. Ce processus permet d'augmenter, d'une part, le bouffant de la bande lorsqu'elle est humide ou sèche, et, d'autre part, la résilience à l'état humide, la résistance à l'état humide et les propriétés tactiles de la bande.

Title: System for shoe latching in laterally removable sash
Inventor: LUCCI ROBERT MICHAEL
IPC: E05D13/00
Filed: 2005-12-06
Granted: 2010-03-23
Abstract: A system for support of a sash that is laterally removable from between opposed window jambs that uses sash support arms that are movably arranged for transferring the weight of the sash to the shoes and for bridging distances between the sash stiles and the shoes. When not supporting the weight of the sash, the support arms move to positions that allow the sash to be lifted off of counterbalance support shoes and laterally removed from between the window jambs and conversely reinserted between window jambs and lowered onto the shoes. This is done while the shoes are locked in positions within the window jambs. When the support arms support the weight of the sash, they are in positions that rest the sash weight on the counterbalance shoes to support the weight of the sash. The shoes have hooks that can be deployed to lock the shoes reliably in the jambs by engaging projections formed in the jambs for this purpose. In the preferred embodiments, support arm latching members are provided on the hooks in the form of rear extensions that latch over interlock pins extending from the support arms when the hooks are disengaged from the jambs. Thus, the same hook elements that serve to hold the shoes in position when engaged to the jambs serve to further secure the support arms for the sash in position on the shoes when disengaged from the jambs.

Title: Non-polar photosensitizer formulations for photodynamic therapy
Inventor: ALBRECHT VOLKER
IPC: A61K41/00
Filed: 2004-06-23
Granted: 2011-10-11
Abstract: A pharmaceutical liposomal formulation for photodynamic therapy comprising a non-polar porphyrin photosensitizer and one or more phospholipids, which are stable in storage without requiring freeze-drying is described. The liposomal formulation provides therapeutically effective amounts of the photosensitizer for intravenous administration. The phospholipids may be modified by pegylation, i.e. they contain poly ethylene glycol as an integral part of the phospholipids. The formed liposomes contain the non-polar photosensitizer within the membrane and are useful for the combined targeting of a nonpolar photosensitizer and a second polar substance. When a formulation includes the presence of monosaccharides or polyalcohols, it can be efficiently freeze-dried preserving the size of the liposomal vehicles and the content of a therapeutically effective amount of the photosensitizing agent. The invention also relates to the liposome composition formed upon reconstitution with an aqueous vehicle. The freeze-dried formulation upon reconstitution with a suitable aqueous vehicle forms liposomes that are also useful for intravenous administration.

Title: Influenza virus vaccines
Inventor: PODDA AUDINO
IPC: A61K39/145
Filed: 2005-03-09
Granted: 2014-07-08
Abstract: The invention provides a vaccine for protecting a human patient against infection by a human influenza virus strain, wherein the vaccine comprises an antigen from an avian influenza virus strain that can cause highly pathogenic avian influenza. The antigen can invoke an antibody response in the patient that is capable of neutralising said human influenza virus strain. Whereas the prior art used known non-pathogenic avian strains to generate antibodies in humans against known pathogenic avian strains, the invention uses known pathogenic avian strains to protect against emerging pathogenic human strains.  Furthermore, whereas the prior art focused on achieving a close antigenic match between the vaccine strain and the target strain, the invention selects vaccine strains based on their pathogenicity, regardless of any perceived close antigenic relationship to the target strain. As the invention does not require detailed knowledge of an emerging strain, a vaccine can be provided further in advance to reduce the risk and potential effects of a human pandemic outbreak.
