Patent EP-0154643-A4 (EP)
Title: Low-sodium salt substitute.
Inventor: ROOD ROBERT P
IPC: A23L27/40
Filed: 1984-08-16
Abstract: A low-sodium seasoning composition adapted as a substitute for common table salt and as a magnesium dietary supplement comprised of from about 40 to about 50 weight percent of sodium chloride in admixture with from about 25 to about 35 weight percent of potassium chloride and from about 15 to about 25 weight percent of magnesium salt, including magnesium sulfate or magnesium chloride. The particular low-sodium salt substitute formulation results in a synergistic or enhanced saltiness taste per unit weight through the combination of the sodium and potassium salts without any potassium-generated bitterness or bitter after-taste sensation because of the presence of magnesium salt which masks or overcomes such bitterness or aftertaste while providing desirable magnesium dietary supplementation. Thus, it has been found that only about 70 to 90% of the unit weight of table salt required to obtain a level of saltiness taste is required for the low-sodium salt substitute composition to obtain the same level of saltiness taste. Use of the proposed low-sodium salt substitute results in a reduction of sodium intake of greater than 50% with respect to table salt in the attainment of an equivalent level of saltiness taste.

Title: Blood-fluid composition for cell lysis system.
Inventor: SCHREIER HANS
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 1985-02-19
Abstract: A blood-fluid composition for use in a complement-mediated cell lysis system. The composition includes a blood-fluid, which may be either a serum source of complement, analyte-containing serum, or both, and lipid vesicles capable of reducing the extent of non-specific cell lysis produced when the blood fluid is added to lysable target cells in the system. The vesicles are present in an amount which increases the ratio of ligand-specific to non-specific cell lysis in the system at least 2-fold and preferably 4-fold or more over that achievable in the system in the absence of the vesicles.

Patent EP-0316329-A4 (EP)
Title: Packaging.
Inventor: GARWOOD ANTHONY JAMES MURRAY
IPC: B65D81/20
Filed: 1987-07-30
Abstract: A method of packaging goods including placing goods such as meat over a base, applying a flexible web of gas permeable skin wrapping plastics material over the base and the goods, evacuating air or gas from between the base and the skin wrapping so as to allow the skin wrapping to flexibly displace onto the goods and to at least partially skin pack said goods. A lid is then applied over the skin wrapping and spaced therefrom. A gas is provided in the space between the lid and the skin wrapping to enhance the keeping properties of the packaged goods by permeating the skin wrapping. The lid is sealed to the base so that the space is permanently retained, the skin wrapping is attached relative to the base. Following discoloration of the packaged goods over a period of time, a fresh gas is allowed to enter the package and contact the surface of the goods within the skin wrapping without removal of the skin wrapping, whereby the color of the goods is improved.

Patent EP-0380475-A4 (EP)
IPC: H03G3/20
Filed: 1987-12-24
Abstract: Dans le système de communications à modulation de fréquence amélioré décrit, les impulsions et éclatements de bruits dans la sortie audio du récepteur (242), dus à des signaux faibles et présentant un évanouissement de Rayleigh, sont minimisés par atténuations sélectives du signal audio dans le récepteur. La quantité et le taux d'atténuation pour les circuits de réduction de bruit du récepteur (244, 246, 248) sont déterminés par un signal de commande dérivé soit du bruit discriminateur moyen à des fréquences supérieures à 3 kHz, soit d'un indicateur de force d'un signal HF reçu, soit d'une combinaison des deux. La sortie audio est atténuée lors de signaux faibles ou d'évanouissement de Rayleigh uniquement lorsque le signal de commande d'atténuation augmente et dépasse un seuil prédéterminé de rapport signal/bruit. Sont également décrites d'autres améliorations apportées à des dispositifs d'atténuation de bruit (250, 256, 274) utilisés en combinaison avec les signaux de réduction du bruit du récepteur pour améliorer la qualité audio dans des applications particulières, par exemple des systèmes répéteurs à modulation de fréquence qui peuvent incorporer des émetteurs multiples (258, 276) dans une configuration de diffusion par réseaux d'émetteurs, et dans des systèmes de communications à modulation de fréquence utilisant une compression-expansion.

Title: Fluid dispensing system.
Inventor: KOBAK ROGER LEO
IPC: B05C13/02
Filed: 1992-03-06
Abstract: A nozzle actuating and adjustment system for applying sealant to a can lid member comprising a nozzle which has a sealant dispensing opening, a needle valve, a needle valve seat surface and a sealant flow passage for enabling flow of sealant material onto the lid member. The needle valve is selectively axially movable between an open sealant applying position and a closed non-flow position relative to the needle valve seat surface. A spring is operatively associated with the needle valve to normally hold the needle valve in the closed lowered position. A needle valve actuator solenoid is operatively connected to the needle valve for selectively causing axial upward movement of the needle valve from the closed position to the open position by a predetermined axial distance to provide a predetermined sealant flow gap in the nozzle to dispense a predetermined amount of sealant material during a predetermined dispensing time period. A flow gap adjustment solenoid is operatively connected to the needle valve actuator solenoid for selectively changing the amount of axial movement of the needle valve caused by the actuator solenoid so as to selectively vary the sealant flow gap and the amount of sealant material dispensed during a predetermined dispensing time.

Title: Methods for phototherapeutic treatment of proliferative skin diseases
Inventor: ANDERSON R ROX
IPC: A61K31/12
Filed: 1995-03-13
Abstract: Method for treating a proliferative skin disorder, such as psoriasis, in a human patient having affected and non-affected areas of skin. The method comprises the steps of: (1) topically applying a sunscreen providing photo-protection to the affected and non-affected areas of skin; (2) waiting for a time period sufficient for the skin of the affected areas to be substantially sloughed off; and, (3) exposing the affected and non-affected areas of skin of the patient to a selected level of optical radiation. The level of radiation is chosen to be sufficient to treat the affected areas of skin and insufficient to cause significant damage to the non-affected areas of skin. The method enhances effectiveness and safety of treatment by providing preferential photo-protection to the non-affected skin areas, and may be used for phototherapy, photochemotherapy, or photodynamic therapy.
