Patent JP-2001506657-A (JP)
IPC: A61P25/22
Filed: 1997-12-19
Abstract: The present invention relates to substituted indane or dihydroindole compounds of Formula (I), wherein A and B are independently O or S; D is an optionally substituted methylene group; X is N or optionally substituted C; and W is a spacer group. The compounds are either selective dopamine D4 ligands or they have combined effects at dopamine D4 and serotonergic receptors and/or the serotonergic transporter. These compounds are therefore useful in the treatment of certain psychiatric and neurologic disorders, including psychosis, depression and anxiety.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for improving the spinal column muscles by training said muscles with oscillations without extreme swinging movements. Said device has a seat carrier (16) which is mounted to provide movement about at least one pivot (5, 6) in a number of dimensions, and the device has drive means used to supply multidimensional movement pulses (the frequency and amplitude thereof being adjustable) to the seat carrier (16). According to the invention, the seat carrier (16) is supported to be tiltable laterally about its longitudinal axis (2) as well as forwards. The seat carrier (16) can also be swivelled about a pivot (6) forwards and upwards along a circular path, the seat carrier (16) remaining horizontal, and can be rotated about its vertical axis (4).

IPC: A61P1/00
Filed: 1996-04-04
Abstract: The primary etiology of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (also known as pseudomembranous colitis) has been recognized as Clostridium difficile. It is believed that the indigenous microflora of a healthy individual suppresses the normally present C. difficile. However, when the indigenous microflora are disrupted (e.g., during antibiotic treatment) overgrowth of C. difficile may occur causing diarrhea and colitis. Treatment of C. difficile with antibiotics has proven effective, but many times relapse occurs; and dehydration due to diarrhea is an exacerbating problem. It has been suggested that normalization of the microflora will inhibit C. difficile relapse. Indigestible oligosaccharides have been shown to inhibit C. difficile infection. An oral rehydration solution containing such indigestible oligosaccharides also provides fluid and electrolyte replacement.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical preparation containing a mixture of a bismuth citrate and an alginate and any reaction products obtained, especially bismuth alginate for the treatment of gastritis, reflux oesophagitis, duodenitis, dyspepsia and ulcer disease. The preparation causes eradication of Campylobacter such as Helibacter pylori (HP) and it further actively prevents the reflux of the stomach content. It may further contain one or more antibiotic substances in order to give higher and more stable eradication rate. A calcium compound, e.g. calcium chloride may be added to the reaction medium to create microencapsulation beads of calcium alginate acting as a slow-release coating. The preparation may further contain an agent such as sodium bicarbonate causing a neutralisation of the gastric acid milieu and a foaming effect.

IPC: G06K11/06
Filed: 1998-02-20
Abstract: A graphic data-acquisition system which employs an active tracking system provides a retrofittable apparatus for converting a substantially planar surface into an electronic data capture device, in which the components of the system are readily retrofittable, at relatively low cost, to a wide variety of otherwise conventional writing-surface structures, such as so-called dry-erase whiteboards. Conventional triangulation techniques are used to track the position and motion of a writer or eraser. An encoding facility associated with the writing implement provides the ability to distinguish whether the writing implement is used for marking or an as erasing implement, as well as determining the nature or character of written line width or eraser swath. A data stream thus generated can be used in a variety of ways, such as for example, to feed information into the memory of a digital computer, and/or to feed information for transmission to remote stations.

Title: Flexible suspension ladder:limiting curvature
Inventor: WATLING N C
IPC: B63B27/14
Filed: 1985-09-09
Abstract: A suspension ladder comprises a string of identical rigid rectangular sections (1) which are hinged together about a series of parallel axes adjacent their longer rear edges (2), and each of which has one or more apertures (11) forming a rung of the ladder. Each section (1) has a trapezoidal cross sectional profile providing the section with sloping top and bottom edge faces (4) and (5) which converge towards the front face (6) from the longitudinal rear edges (2) and form stops which limit the extent to which adjoining sections can pivot towards each other in a forward direction. The ladder therefore cannot be flexed in this direction beyond a predetermined minimum radius of curvature and will therefore form a substantially rigid cradle (21) when its lower end is lifted while its upper end is suspended. In contrast adjacent sections can pivot flat against each other in the rearward direction so that the ladder can be rolled up tightly for easy storage.
