Patent CA-2582216-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DUCHOSAL MICHEL
IPC: C12N5/16
Filed: 2005-09-30
Abstract: The present invention concerns a new method for ex-vivo purging of cells in autologous transplantation, wherein the sample of taken cells is treated with a sufficient amount of a multimeric form of the soluble portion of FasL to kill malignant cells without substantially affecting viability of cells to be transplanted. Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) following high-dose chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy has become the standard therapy for the majority of patients with large-cell lymphomas, multiple myeloma, and refractory/recidivating Hodgkin's disease. Such therapy is nowadays also contemplated for selected patients with low-grade lymphomas (chronic lymphocytic leukemia, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma) and for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Current treatments for cell purging include chemotherapy and antibody cocktails. These treatments are often toxic on stem cells and not efficient in eliminating cancer cells. Thus, there is an unmet medical need for cell purging in ASCT which this project will address.

Title: Isolated myeloid-like bone marrow cell populations and methods of treatment therewith
Inventor: RITTER MATTHEW R
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2006-02-24
Abstract: The present invention provides an isolated myeloid-like bone marrow cell population comprising a majority of cells that are lineage negative, and which express both CD44 antigen and CD11b antigen. These cells have beneficial vasculotrophic and neurotrophic activity when intraocularly administered to the eye of a mammal, particularly a mammal suffering from an ocular degenerative disease. The myeloid-like bone marrow cells are isolated by treating bone marrow cells with an antibody against CD44 (hyaluronic acid receptor), against CD11b, or against both and using flow cytometry to positively select CD44 and/or CD11b expressing cells therefrom. The isolated myeloid-like bone marrow cells of the invention can be transfected with a gene encoding a therapeutically useful protein, for delivering the gene to the retina.

Title: Methods for voucher and coupon printing
Inventor: SCHULDMAN BART C
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2006-03-29
Abstract: Methods are disclosed for driving a printer to print highly secure vouchers and less secure coupons. The printer can reside, for example, in a wagering terminal (e.g., slot machine), ticket machine, point-of-sale terminal or the like. A first driver receives, e.g., from a primary controller, data indicative of voucher information to be printed. A second driver receives, e.g., from a secondary controller, data indicative of coupon information to be printed. A processor responsive to the first and second drivers generates printer commands in a standard printer format so that the same printer can be used to print vouchers and coupons. Coupons do not have to be processed by the secure (and usually proprietary) hardware and/or software provided by the terminal manufacturer for printing vouchers.

Title: Automatic control system for a kitchen warewasher
Inventor: REICHOLD KURT A
IPC: A47L15/46
Filed: 2006-08-03
Abstract: An apparatus reminds an operator of a need to change water in a reservoir (15) of a warewasher (10) . A counter that counts operating cycles of the warewasher and a sensor (49) provides signal indicating that the reservoir has been drained and refilled. A controller (22) responds to the counter having a first threshold value by activating an annunciator (34) to alert the operator that is it time to change the water. Thereafter when the counter has a greater second threshold value (X) and the controller disables operation of the warewasher until the sensor indicates that the reservoir has been drained and refilled. Thus the operator is required to change the water in order to continue using the warewasher.
