Title: Curling slider
Inventor: ASHAM ARNOLD
IPC: A43B5/18
Filed: 2000-11-17
Abstract: A curling slider which may be a shoe or an attachment for a shoe includes a flexible sole located under the foot of the curler attached to which is a slider plate having a slider bottom surface designed to slide across the ice.  In front of the slider plate is a toe portion and behind is a heel portion each of which is formed of slider material. The slider plate is circular in plan and is received in a receptacle defined by arcuate edges of the toe and heel portions. The slider plate is attached to the sole member by a releasable connection such as hook and loop such that the slider bottom surface can be rotated relative to the sole member about an axis generally at a right angle to the bottom surface so as to adjust the orientation of the slider bottom surface relative to the longitudinal axis of the sole.  The slider plate can include one or more grooves defined between separate steel pads which form a steering direction of the plate which is thus adjusted by the rotation.

Abstract: A telecommunications service session control system for supporting multiple multi-party service sessions, including at least one server connected to a transport network. The system is configured during a service session to provide session control means including means for interfacing with service specific client software objects and means for interfacing with service specific server software objects. The server object interfacing means includes an interface with a service specific object at least partly controlling said session and at least one interface with a different service specific object at least partly controlling a participation in said session. The service specific objects may be derived from such that the service developer is relieved of the need to know details of the system on which the service code will run. Common service surround functions, such as authentication, billing and management functions, need not be considered during the service development phase. A visual, iconic, programming development tool is also provided for use by service developers to develop the service-specific application program parts to be implemented in a service supported by the service session control system.

Title: Control of parasitic infestations in farmed and wild fish
Inventor: MARTINSEN BERNT
IPC: A01N47/34
Filed: 1999-05-31
Abstract: A method to control parasitic infestations including infestations with sea lice and isopod species in farmed fish in which antiparasitically active substances are formulated as an injectable composition, optionally in a fish vaccine and where the antiparasitically active substances also protect the fish against parasites for a substantial period of time after injection. A composition for therapeutic and prophylactic control of parasites in farmed and wild fish comprising hexaflumuron or other chitin synthesis inhibitors as the active substance is also described.  Hexaflumuron can be administered as a bath treatment, orally through the feed, or as separate injections. The composition has a therapeutic effect against parasites that are already present on the fish and confers protection against new parasitic infestation for an extended period of time after treatment.

Title: Snow ski having slidingly interconnected upper and lower ski sections
Inventor: FELS DAVID M
IPC: A63C9/00
Filed: 1999-08-04
Abstract: A snow ski of the type having separately constructed and joined together upper and lower elongate ski sections is disclosed. The two sections are joined together by connector means preferably in the form of an elongate slide rail which slidingly interconnects the opposed faces of the upper and lower ski sections together. Means are provided for captively holding the two sections together along the slide rail to thereby permit relative sliding movement between the upper and lower ski sections when the snow ski is flexed longitudinally. The lower ski section preferably is relatively thin and of uniform thickness between its ski tip and ski tail and is also uncambered. A  camber is imparted to the lower ski section when it is slidingly interconnected to the upper ski section which itself on its lower surface is longitudinally curved. The upper ski section also preferably functions as a torsion tube and is more resistant to longitudinal flex and lateral twist than the lower section to which it is attached. Due to the novel way the two sections are interconnected, they can be readily separated and the bottom section replaced in the event it is damaged or if a skier desires a longer, shorter or wider lower ski section.

Title: Degassing a liquid with a membrane contactor
Inventor: SENGUPTA AMITAVA
IPC: C02F1/20
Filed: 2001-05-01
Abstract: The present invention is directed to degassing a liquid with a membrane contactor. A liquid having a dissolved gas is introduced into a contactor which is connected to a vacuum source. The contactor has a perforated core, a plurality of hollow fiber membranes, a tube sheet affixing each end of said fibers, and a shell having a liquid egress. The shell encloses the fibers, the tube sheet, and the core. The hollow fiber lumens are in fluid communication with the vacuum source. Liquid enters the contactor via the core's open end radially exits the core, crosses over the membranes within the shell, and exits the contactor by the liquid egress. The dissolved gas thereby diffuses from the liquid across the membrane into the lumen. The liquid exiting may have a dissolved gas content to less than 1 ppb.

Title: A method for the determination of homocysteine
Inventor: SEMAN LEO
IPC: C12Q1/527
Filed: 1999-11-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining homocysteine concentration in samples in which homocysteine is condensed using an enzyme cystathionine .beta. synthase to form cystathionine. Pyruvate and/or ammonia are released from cystathionine by action of an enzyme, cystathionine .beta. lyase, and homocysteine is regenerated. The release of pyruvate and/or ammonia can be correlated to the concentration of homocysteine present in the sample.

Inventor: JOLLIFF NORMAN E
IPC: B60K17/10
Filed: 2001-10-03
Abstract: A self adjusting wet brake positioned interior of a transaxle or transmission casing. The self adjusting brake assembly utilizes a brake pad having a cooperating ramp surface which is contacted by a brake cam for brake actuation. The cooperating ramp surface allows the brake mechanism of the current invention to automatically account for brake pad wear and the attendant decrease in brake pad thickness. As the brake pad wears and decreases in thickness, the brake cam progressively contacts the ramp surface of the brake pad to effect brake actuation. In one exemplary embodiment, the ramp surface is integral with the brake pad.

Title: Formulation arrays and use thereof
Inventor: LANGER ROBERT S
IPC: A61K47/24
Filed: 2000-03-31
Abstract: Methods have been developed which use high throughput combinatorial formulation technologies, preferably in combination with nanotechnology and microarrays, to improve one or more properties of materials used as components of, or in the manufacture or use of, health care products, consumer products, agricultural products, nutraceutical products, veterinary products, products for use in manufacturing or processing industries, military applications, and research reagents. In a preferred application, the bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of the drugs, especially small molecule pharmaceuticals, are optimized by making many new formulations and selecting those formulations based on one or more physical or chemical properties such as solubility in an aqueous solution, without compromising selectivity or potency. Systems employing these technologies have been designed to rapidly, systematically and cheap identify optimal compositions for a desired purpose. In one preferred embodiment, new formulations are prepared and tested for bioequivalence to a formulation that is approved or commercially available. In another embodiment, the formulations are initially optimized in vitro for their pharmacokinetics, such as absorption through the gut (for an oral preparation), skin (for transdermal application), or mucosa (for nasal, buccal, vaginal or rectal formulation), solubility, degradation or clearance by uptake into the reticuloendothelial system ("RES"), metabolism or elimination, then tested in vivo.
