Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif d'ancrage (10) pour raccord, ledit dispositif comprenant un canal annulaire (11) d'une section transversale g~n~ralement en forme de U. Ce canal pr~sente une partie d'~me (13) dot~e de brides (14 et 15) formant une saillie radiale vers l'int~rieur destin~e ~ ses rebords circonf~rentiels. Un anneau de pr~hension tronconique (16) est situ~ dans le canal (11) avec son rebord externe (17) ~ l'int~rieur de la partie de l'~me (13) adjacente ~ une des brides (14) et son rebord interne (18) adjacente ~ l'autre bride (15) et sortant en saillie vers l'int~rieur au-del~ de l'autre bride. Ledit canal annulaire forme un anneau incomplet et peut Útre comprim~ au niveau de la circonf~rence. Ce dispositif d'ancrage est ins~r~ ~ l'int~rieur d'un dispositif de fixation (40) qui s'ins­re dans un raccord. Ledit dispositif de fixation (40) pr~sente un moyen de mise sous tension (50) qui le serre autour du tuyau, ce qui entra¹ne la compression du canal annulaire (11) et l'imbrication du rebord interne (18) de l'anneau de pr~hension tronconique dans la surface externe du tuyau et donc la pr~hension du tuyau.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de production d'une bande d'aluminium ou d'un alliage d'aluminium ayant une surface texturée. Selon ce procédé, une bande laminée à froid (12) passe, dès sa sortie d'un laminoir à froid (17), entre deux cylindres à texturer dotés d'un motif de rugosité. Puis la bande texturée (12) est enroulée. Le motif de rugosité est transféré à la surface de la bande par une force exercée par le cylindre à texturer sur la bande (12). Dans le cas d'une installation de production d'une bande d'aluminium ou d'un alliage d'aluminium laminée à froid et ayant une surface texturée, un laminoir à texturer (28) comprend des cylindres à texturer est implanté immédiatement en aval du laminoir à froid (17) dans le sens de défilement de la bande (x). Ce procédé et cette installation rendent superflue une passe à texturer distincte et donc, par rapport au procédé selon l'état de la technique, une passe de laminage.

Title: In vivo use of glutathionone s-transferase activated nitric oxide donors
Inventor: SHAMI PAUL
IPC: A61K45/06
Filed: 2003-03-21
Abstract: The present invention provides for a method of simultaneously treating both cancer and the Multidrug Resistance Phenotype via inhibition of cellular thiols, such as Glutathione S-Transferase (GST). This enzyme is overproduced in leukemia and solid tumor cells and is one of the main pathways involved i n the Multidrug Resistance phenotype. The treatment provides for the administration of a chemically inert pro-drug, designed to be a specific substrate for the GST enzyme that, once cleaved, liberates the bioactive tox in Nitric Oxide (NO) intracellularly at the site of a malignant growth. NO then acts to inhibit the growth of the malignant cells and to induce cellular differentiation and apoptosis therein, effectively treating an existing cancerous condition. Additionally, once NO is liberated from the pro-drug, t he remaining structure acts to inhibit further GST activity, providing a treatment for the Multidrug Resistant phenotype.

Title: Apparatus and method for blending or infusing one fluid into another fluid
Inventor: LADOUCEUR NELS ROBERT
IPC: C02F7/00
Filed: 2004-10-22
Abstract: An ozone mass transfer apparatus, particularly for infusing ozone and air or oxygen with wastewater and cooling water streams, and for blending air and/or other gas with oils and/or fats. The apparatus consists of a pump or pumps, hydrocyclone or hydrocyclones within a pressure vessel. Ozone, air and waste or cooling water streams are pumped through a progressive cavity pump into a shearing hydrocyclone or IC-Sep with one or more tangential inlet ports equipped with ramps to initially induce a rotational flow at the head of the hydrocyclone. A pressure control valve maintains the proper inlet pressure and differential pressure across the hydrocyclone. The reducing internal diameter of the hydrocyclone or IC-Sep causes the ozone, air and water or air and oil/fat to accelerate to the single outlet of the hydrocyclone. With no exit for the less dense entrained ozone/air other than to follow the water to the single outlet, the bubbles are sheared to micron size and thoroughly blended/dissolved/mixed with the water or oil/fat stream at the outlet of the hydrocyclone.

Abstract: A system for improving the accuracy of pharmacy transactions. A health care organization's (100, Fig.1) individual health care facilities (104, Fig.1) are linked to a prescription processing center (400, Fig.1) of a publicly-held corporate pharmacy ("PCP")(600, Fig.1) organization, preferably by means of an electronic communications network (414, Fig.1). The processing center collects, organizes and correlates patient census data from the health care facilities and transaction data from the pharmacies with existing contract data. The collected and organized data forms a dataset that may be used to determine and allocate the charges. Further, the patient and transaction data may be utilized to generate various reports in an electronic format related to the patient, facilities, and pharmacies. In another embodiment of the present invention, the electronic communications network may be utilized to survey the health care facilities regarding the level of performance and quality of the PCP and associated pharmacies. This information may be organized into reports and then forwarded to appropriate administrative and management personnel at the health care facility and the PCP.
