Patent CA-2525994-A1 (CA)
Title: Silk biomaterials and methods of use thereof
Inventor: RUTLEDGE GREGORY
IPC: C12N5/071
Filed: 2003-06-24
Abstract: The present invention provides an all-aqueous process and composition for production of silk biomaterials, e.g., fibers, films, foams and mats. In the process, at least one biocompatible polymer, such as poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) (a well-documented biocompatible material), was blended with the silk protein prior to processing e.g., electrospinning. We discovered that this step avoids problems associated with conformational transitions of fibroin during solubilization and reprocessing from aqueous solution which lead to embrittled materials. Moreover, the process avoids the use of organic solven ts that can pose problems when the processed biomaterials are exposed to cells in vitro or in vivo.

Abstract: Packaging units for use with elongate medical devices such as catheters. An example packaging unit includes a mounting card into which a number of tabs are cut at predetermined angles and shapes. At least some of the tabs are provided in large tab/small tab pairs. The angle and size combination provides for securing the elongate medical device to the card, while reducing trauma experienced by the device during removal from the card. Also, a double tab system is provided in the packaging unit for receiving a hub and strain relief to hold those parts securely. The card may be scored along at least a first side such that, prior to placing a sterile barrier, such as a plastic wrapping or envelope, around the mounting card to sterilely seal a device therein, the card may be bent along the scoring line to lift the sterile barrier off of a surface of the mounting card. The step of bending a portion of the card along the storing line make removal of a device from the mounting card easier and renders the mounting card more rigid and less likely to bend and cause damage to an elongate medical device stored thereon.

Abstract: Separation of a novel infectious bursa fabricii's disease (IBD) virus that cannot be combated with the conventional IBD vaccine; and a novel vaccine effective against the virus. Novel IBD virus TY2 strain was separated and its substrain was obtained. In the TY2 strain, a gene coding for a hypervariable region of VP2 being a principal host defense antigen site of the virus is not cleaved by TaqI and SspI but cleaved by MvaI into about 52 bp and about 422 bp fragments. Thus, the TY2 strain has a genotype different from that of known IBD viral strain. Excellent vaccine against IBD can be obtained from the TY2 strain or a substrain of the virus.

Inventor: PEPPER GARY THOMAS
IPC: G07C5/00

Abstract: A vehicle telemetric system comprises vehicle interface units (VIUs), wireless gateways, and a central host. The VIU in a vehicle collects data over the OBD-II bus and stores the data in the form of Data Point Records (DPRs) in an on-board flash memory. When the VIU is within wireless range of a gateway, it establishes a WiFi (802.11 b) connection with the gateway, and submits stored DPRs to the gateway, to be stored in permanent storage at the gateway. The gateways communicate with the central host over a wide area network (WAN).  When a gateway has gathered new DPRs from a VIU, it submits these to the central host. Databases in the gateways as well as in the central host are maintained and synchronized to track received DPRs by sequence number and originating VIU. In conjunction with specific protocols, all DPRs are thus collected reliably, even though communication with a vehicle may be intermittent. Efficient use of WiFi bandwidth is made by avoiding the unnecessary collection of duplicate DPRs.
