Granted: 2004-03-30
Abstract: An Internet access device (100) uses an automatic configuration process (600) to handle the task of configuring the Internet access device at a customer site for communication with the Internet (10). Once configured, the customer has electronic mail and other access to the Internet from his local area network. A not yet configured Internet access device is shipped directly to a customer without having to be manually configured first. The customer enters a registration identification number (326) and a telephone number onto the Internet access device. The Internet access device then automatically connects to the Internet, downloads configuration data from a configuration server (410) containing customer site specific configuration data, and then automatically configures itself for communication with the Internet. The Internet access device is simple to install for a customer and provides valuable features such as a router (240), firewall, e-mail gateway (212), web server (220), and other servers (222). The Internet access device initially connects to the Internet through an Internet service provider (14) over a standard analog telephone line using a standard modem (52) and using a dynamic IP address. Once automatically configured, the Internet access device may then communicate with the Internet using any suitable connection including an analog telephone line, or a higher-speed line such as an ISDN line or a frame relay circuit and is assigned a static IP address and a range of IP addresses for other devices on its local area network.

Title: Lithographic imaging with constructions having mixed organic/inorganic layers
Inventor: LEWIS THOMAS E
IPC: B41C1/10
Filed: 1999-03-17
Granted: 2004-06-15
Abstract: The effects of interfacial transition between organic and inorganic layers of a lithographic printing member are ameliorated by incorporating an inorganic component within the matrix of the organic layer.  In a first aspect, a lithographic printing plate having adjacent organic and inorganic layers is fabricated by depositing a curable polymer, softening the polymer, and integrating an inorganic material therewith. The polymer is then cured to immobilize the integrated deposition material, and the desired inorganic layer is applied over the deposited inorganic material (and any exposed portions of the polymer). In a second aspect, a graded structure is built up on a substrate in successive deposition steps. Both polymer precursors and an inorganic filler material are deposited in stages, with each stage containing a desired ratio of polymer to filler.

Title: Compositions and methods for inhibiting photoaging of skin
Inventor: FISHER GARY J
IPC: B60J3/00
Filed: 1998-06-03
Granted: 2007-11-27
Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for ameliorating various effects of UV A and UVB radiation from the sun. The compositions including an ingredient that prevents photoaging from MED and subMED radiation, such as a retinoid, certain other compounds (such as N-acetylcysteine, 2-furildioxime, and vitamin C) and optionally other MMP inhibitors such as tetracyclines and/or compounds that inhibit the P-450-mediated metabolism of retinoids such as ketoconazole and other azole compounds. In the method, the composition is applied prior to exposure to the sun; depending upon the ingredients used in the composition, application should be from 7 to 48 hours prior to exposure. Compounds that prevent erythema (skin reddening, sunburn) do not necessarily protect against UV-mediated elevation of MMP levels and activity, and similarly compounds that prevent UV-mediated elevation of MMP levels and activity are not necessarily effective against UV-induced erythema.

Patent CA-2302392-C (CA)
Inventor: ENRIGHT FREDERICK
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 1998-09-01
Granted: 2012-04-10
Abstract: Amphipathic lytic peptides are ideally suited to use in a ligand/cytotoxin combination to induce sterility or long-term contraception in mammals. The peptides act directly on cell membranes, and need not be internalized.  Administering a combination of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) (or a GnRH agonist) and a membrane-active lytic peptide produces long-term contraception or sterilization in mammals in vivo. The compounds are relatively small, and are not antigenic. Lysis of gonadotropes has been observed to be very rapid (on the order of ten minutes). The two components --the ligand and the lytic peptide -- may optionally be administered as a fusion peptide, or they may be administered separately, with the ligand administered slightly before the lytic peptide, to activate cells with receptors for the ligand, and thereby make those cells susceptible to lysis by the lytic peptide.

Title: A system for delivering pressurized lubricant fluids to an interior of a rotating hollow shaft
Inventor: LAMARRE SYLVAIN
IPC: F16J15/16
Filed: 1999-06-03
Granted: 2006-11-14
Abstract: A system for delivering a pressurized lubricant fluid from a stationary sour ce to an interior of a drive shaft of a gas turbine engine which rotates at high speed and operates at high temperatures is described. The pressurized lubricant fluid is delivered to a radial passage defined between a pair of axially spaced-apart seals (24) that surround the shaft (12). To ensure reliable operation under the high speed and high temperature conditions, the seals are constructed so that a film of the lubricant fluid is formed between the rotating shaft and the seals. The seals float on the film and wear is reduced. In order to minimize variations in th space between the seals and the shaft caused by changes in operating temperatures, each seal is surrounded by a control ring (56) of material having a coefficient of expansion similar to the material of the shaft. The advantage is reliable delivery of lubricant t o a shaft; rotating at high speed in a high temperature environment.
