Patent CA-2518960-A1 (CA)
Title: Sinus delivery of sustained release therapeutics
Inventor: BRENNEMAN RODNEY
IPC: A61M31/00
Filed: 2004-03-12
Abstract: The invention provides biodegradable implants for treating sinusitis. The biodegradable implants have a size, shape, density, viscosity, and/or mucoadhesiveness that prevents them from being substantially cleared by the mucociliary lining of the sinuses during the intended treatment period. The biodegradable implants include a sustained release therapeutic, e.g., an antibiotic, a steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, or both. The biodegradable implants may take various forms, such as rods, pellets, beads, strips, or microparticles, and may be delivered into a sinus in various pharmaceutically acceptable carriers.
Patent CA-2519701-A1 (CA)
Title: Spacecraft thruster
Inventor: EMSELLEM GREGORY
IPC: F03H1/00
Filed: 2004-03-17
Abstract: A thruster has a chamber (6) defined within a tube (2). The tube has a longitudinal axis which defines an axis (4) of thrust; an injector (8) injects ionizable gas within the tube, at one end of the chamber. A magnetic field generator with two coils (12, 14) generates a magnetic field parallel to the axis; the magnetic field has two maxima along the axis (4); an electromagnetic field generator has a first resonant cavity (16) between the two coils generating a microwave ionizing field at the electron cyclotron resonance in the chamber (6), between the two maxima of the magnetic field. The electromagnetic field generator has a second resonant cavity (18) on the other side of the second coil (14). The second resonant cavity (18) generates a ponderomotive accelerating field accelerating the ionized gas. The thruster ionizes the gas by electron cyclotron resonance, and subsequently accelerates both electrons and ions by the magnetized ponderomotive force.
Patent CA-2519932-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MILLER BRUCE
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2004-05-14
Abstract: Methods of and apparatuses for varying and controlling the efective series resistance (ESR) of a power supply rail configured to transmit power from a power supply of a host device to a wireless network interface device (e.g. a wireless modem). Varying and controlling the ESR of the power supply rail, relative to an ESR of a super capacitor coupled to the power supply rail, allows control of the currents drawn from the host power supply and a super capacitor. During a time when the wireless network interface device is transmitting or is about to transmit, the ESR of the power supply rail is increased so that it exceeds the ESR of the super capacitor, thereby causing current for the power amplifier (PA) of the wireless network interface device to be drawn primarily from the super capacitor, rather than from the host power supply. During a time when the wireless network interface device has completed transmitting or is about to complete transmitting, the ESR of the host power supply is lowered so that it is less than the ESR of the super capacitor, thereby causing the super capacitor to enter a charging state.

Title: Methods and compositions for the inhibition of modulation of t cell costimulatory pathway by a pathogenic agent
Inventor: ARAD GILA
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2004-04-01
Abstract: The invention relates to methods and compositions for the inhibition of modulation of T cell costimulatory pathway by a pathogenic agent. More particularly, the invention relates to the inhibition of activation of a T cell costimulatory pathway, preferably, the CD28/B7 pathway, by a pyrogenic exotoxin. The method of the invention is based on the inhibition of the dire ct interaction of a superantigen with a specific site within the dimer interfac e of a CD28 family member, using immunomodulatory peptides. The invention further provides specific antagonist immunomodulatory peptides comprising an amino acid sequence derived from a dimer interface of a T cell costimulatory pathway member. Alternatively, said peptide comprises an amino acid sequence which specifically binds to an amino acid sequence within the dimer interfac e of a T cell costimulatory pathway member. Compositions comprising said peptides and methods for the treatment of immune-related disorders are also provided by the invention..

Title: Method for determining a stuck point for pipe, and free point logging tool
Inventor: GRAY KEVIN L
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2005-10-07
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the location of stuck pipe are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes the step of attaching a free point logging tool to a working line such as a slickline or wireline. The free point logging tool has a freepoint sensor and, optionally, an acoustic sensor. The freepoint sensor acquires magnetic permeability data in a string of pipe, while the acoustic sensor acquires acoustic data in the pipe. Two sets of data for each sensor are acquired - -one in which the pipe under investigation is unstressed, and one in which the pipe is stressed. The first set and second sets of magnetic permeability data are compared to determine the stuck point location for the pipe. The first and second sets of acoustic data are compared to determine the nature in which the pipe is stuck.

Title: Coordinating animations and media in computer display output
Inventor: JACOB KURT
IPC: G06F40/143
Filed: 2005-10-17
Abstract: Described is a method and system in which storyboard objects coordinate the animation of multiple elements and/or media displayed on a computer graphics display. Storyboards relate properties of elements in an element tree to a timeline, such that the properties associated with a storyboard are animated / play together as a group by starting, stopping, seeking or pausing the storyboard.      Triggers, such as controlled by user interaction with the displayed information, including property triggers that change values in response to a state change, and event triggers that fire events, may cause the storyboard to start, stop, pause and seek. Storyboards may be used in XAML-based programs, and may be directly associated with elements, or indirectly associated with elements via styles. Complex properties and changeables are supported. Media playback may be controlled via storyboards, and thereby coordinated with other media playback and/or animations.

Abstract: A circuit breaker for warming lamps mounted in a livestock barn is disclosed. The circuit breaker includes a housing divided into symmetrical housing parts, through which a power supply cable and a power output cable pass, and which are combined into a single body through ultrasonic fusion welding. A power switch is exposed outside the housing, while a micro switch is mounted in the housing. An ON/OFF actuator to actuate the micro switch is mounted in the housing. A warming lamp is connected to the ON/OFF actuator and is also connected to the power supply through both the power switch and the micro switch. A spring is provided in the housing such that, when the ON/OFF actuator is biased downwards by the weight of the warming lamp, the spring is compressed, and, when the weight of the warming lamp is removed from the spring, the spring extends to bias the ON/OFF actuator upwards. The circuit breaker, having a simple structure, increases work efficiency in the assembly of its parts, maximizes productivity, reduces production costs, and reduces its weight and volume. The housing has a hermetically sealed structure to prevent water from infiltrating into the housing, thereby solving the problems caused by conduction of electricity from the circuit breaker.

Abstract: A hammer-action attachment for use with an electric drill comprises a main shaft with an impact member mounted in longitudinal force transmitting relation on the main shaft for rotation therewith. An actuator mechanism is mounted on the main shaft for free rotation and for longitudinal sliding movement between a forwardly displaced position and a rearwardly displaced position. A drill engaging member is securely connected to the actuator mechanism and extends rearwardly to engage an electric drill. The drill engaging member biases the actuator mechanism into force transmitting engagement with the impact member, and precludes rotational movement about the longitudinal axis of the actuator mechanism with respect to the drill. Rotation of the main shaft and impact member causes the actuator mechanism to move in a reciprocating motion between the rearwardly displaced position and the forwardly displaced position, and transmits impact forces forwardly along the longitudinal axis to the main shaft.
