Title: Use of a lyophilisate of dedifferentiated plant cells for skin depigmentation and/or lightening
Inventor: MEKIDECHE NICOLE
IPC: A61K36/23
Filed: 2004-12-03
Abstract: Use, in a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition (A), of at least one lyophilizate (B) of dedifferentiated plant cells, where (B) causes depigmentation and/or lightening, protection and regeneration of the epidermis. An independent claim is also included for topical cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions that contain (B). ACTIVITY : Dermatological. Human keratinocytes and melanocytes were seeded on to polycarbonate filters and grown for 10 days at an air/medium interface to produce a type VI (negroid) epidermis. Samples of this were incubated for an unspecified time with a cream (PXTS; designed for very dry skin) that contained 0.5 % of a lyophilizate of dedifferentiated cells of Crithmum maritimum. Intracellular melanin synthesis was then analyzed spectrometrically at 475 nm; absorbance was 0.160 in a negative control but 0.101 (37 % reduction) in the test sample. A further test showed a 32 % reduction in tyrosinase activity. MECHANISM OF ACTION : Blocking activity of tyrosinase (depigmentation and lightening); scavenging free radicals (protective effect) and/or stimulating proliferation of cells in the basal layer and inhibiting epidermal differentiation (regenerative effect).

Patent CA-2553344-A1 (CA)
Title: Rockbolts made of high-strength steel pipes and method of manufacturing thereof
Inventor: KITTAKA TOSHIHARU
IPC: E21D21/00
Filed: 2004-07-29
Abstract: A lock bolt of a high strength steel pipe, wherein an expansion type lock bolt body is formed of a deformed pipe manufactured by using, as a raw material, a high tension steel plate having a tensile strength of 490 to 640 N/mm2, an elongation of 20% or more, and a plate thickness of 1.8 to 2.3 mm and having a single or a plurality of recessed parts extending in the axial direction of the deformed pipe. Since the high tension steel plate is used in the lock bolt, sufficient strength can be secured for the lock bolt though the steel plate is thin, and cracking due to stains introduced in a molding process, a both end shrinkage process, and a pressurizing/expanding process can be suppressed. Since an expansion start pressure when a pressurized fluid is press-fitted and inflated is also low, a time in which the expansion/deformation is completed can be shortened and workability can also be improved.

Title: Dynamic halogenation of sorbents for the removal of mercury from flue gases
Inventor: FARTHING GEORGE A JR
IPC: B01J8/00
Filed: 2005-03-21
Abstract: A halogen-containing gas is injected into a flowing transport air/sorbent stream at a point close to the point where the sorbent and transport air first mix to maximize the residence time available for the halogen-containing compound to be adsorbed onto the sorbent surface prior to the sorbent being injected into a flue gas containing mercury. This process maximizes the benefit and utilization of the halogen-containing reagent by placing it exactly where it is needed to facilitate elemental mercury removal - on the surface of the sorbent. The sorbent particles with their loading of adsorbed halogen-containing reagent enter the flue gas with a high reactivity for the removal of elemental mercury.
