Title: Local vascular delivery of mycophenolic acid in combination with rapamycin to prevent restenosis following vascular injury
Inventor: FALOTICO ROBERT
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2005-01-19
Abstract: Medical devices, and in particular implantable medical devices, may be coated to minimize or substantially eliminate a biological organism's reacti on to the introduction of the medical device to the organism. The medical devices may be coated with any number of biocompatible materials. Therapeutic drugs, agents or compounds may be mixed with the biocompatible materials and affixed to at least a portion of the medical device. These therapeutic drugs, agents or compounds may also further reduce a biological organism's reaction to the introduction of the medical device to the organism. In addition, these therapeutic drugs, agents and/or compounds may be utilized to promote healing, including the formation of blood clots. Also, the devices may be modified to promote endothelialization. Various materials and coating methodologies may be utilized to maintain the drugs, agents or compounds on the medical device until delivered and positioned. In addition, the devices utilized to deliver the implantable medical devices may be modified to reduc e the potential for damaging the implantable medical device during deployment. Medical devices include stents, grafts, anastomotic devices, perivascul ar wraps, sutures and staples. In addition, various polymer combinations may be utilized to control the elution rates of the therapeutic drugs, agents and/or compounds from the implantable medical devices.

Title: Communicating state information in a network
Inventor: DUGAN ROBERT
IPC: G06F13/38
Filed: 2003-07-17
Abstract: State information is communicated in a network to more efficiently utilize network resources. A first node forms a single extended query requesting state information from at least one logical image of a second node. The extended query is a single query requesting state information for multiple logical images of the first node. The requested state information includes the status of logical paths previously established between the multiple logical images of the first node and the at least one logical image of the second node. Upon sending the extended query to the second node, a single extended response can be formed at the second node having the requested state information.
Patent CA-2494500-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JOHNSTON RENEE
IPC: H04B3/23
Filed: 2005-01-27
Abstract: A method for detecting echo path changes in an echo canceller using the statistics of the echo canceling behavior (i.e. signal and performance information), to distinguish between new line and double talk conditions. A moving counter is incremented or decremented based on monitored levels of ERL (Echo Return Loss), ERLE (Echo Return Loss Enhancement), noise and signal energies. When the counter reaches a predetermined threshold value indicative of sustained poor echo cancellation performance, a determination is made that there is a probable new line condition (i.e. echo path change). Th is echo path change information is then passed to the echo canceller to enable re-convergence.

Patent CA-2498473-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CALL WILLIAM
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2005-02-25
Abstract: The present invention extends to managing the dispensing of petroleum products. A kiosk (e.g., at a gas station) and fuel management system are connected over a network. The fuel management system maintains balances for fuel purchasing accounts that can be debited to purchase fuel. To purchase fuel, a customer enters credentials identifying a fuel purchasing account at the kiosk. After fueling is complete, the fuel purchasing account is debited by the amount of the fuel purchase. Embodiments of the fuel system can also include networked (e.g., Internet) based payments into a fuel purchasing account, either from a kiosk or from a personal computer. Consumers can pay for increased amounts of fuel, such as, for example, multiple tanks of gasoline, in a single payment, potentially reducing or even eliminating returned check losses and/or card fees associated with "tank-at-a-time"  purchases.

Patent CA-2503382-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCEWAN THOMAS E
IPC: G01S13/18
Filed: 1994-04-08
Abstract: A motion sensor is based on ultra-wideband (UWB) radar. UWB radar range is determined by a pulse-echo interval. For motion detection, the sensors operate by staring at a fixed ranged and then sensing any change in the averaged radar reflectivity at that range. A sampling gate is opened at a fixed delay after the emission of a transmit pulse. The resultant sampling gate output is averaged over repeated pulses. Changes in the averaged sampling gate output represent changes in the radar reflectivity at a particular range, and thus motion.

Filed: 2005-05-11
Abstract: The present invention provides a means of exercising the trunk inclusive of the abdominal and lower back musculatures wherein posture of the trunk during the resistive exercise is kinesiologically correct. This means that the natural curves of the spine are maintained and supported while the resistive exercise is being performed. In performing the isometric resistive exercise, the user's forearm's rest upon an adjustable platform positioned at chest level and that is contoured to the body. The body transfers force to the platform which is resisted by mechanisms encased in the abdominal guide arm. The adjustable back rest of the machine is contoured to accommodate the natural curves of the spine. The body transfers force to the back rest which is resisted by mechanisms encased in the back support. The exercise performed on this machine is isometric as the trunk remains in a neutral position.

Title: Method for production of alkyl esters
Inventor: MUSKETT RAYMOND
IPC: C07C67/03
Filed: 2002-11-27
Abstract: A method for production of alkyl esters from a mixture of glycerides and fre e fatty acids, originating primarily from grease trap waste, is provided. The mixture is first solvated in a low boiling point alcohol and then the pH of the solution is adjusted to about 1 to 2 by addition of an acid to effect ac id- catalysed alkyl esterification. The acidic solution is then treated with a concentrated alkoxide solution to raise the pH of the solution about pH12 to effect base-catalysed transesterification of glycerides contained in the mixture. The resulting solution is then treated with an acid to decrease the pH of the solution to about 2 to effect acid-catalysed esterification of residual saponified by-products. The alcohol solvent is removed by distillation or other suitable techniques and the resulting alkyl esters are separated from any remaining residues and neutralised of residual acids.</SD OAB>
