Title: Dfmo and sulindac combination in cancer chemoprevention
Inventor: MEYSKENS FRANK L JR
IPC: A61K31/19
Filed: 1999-03-26
Abstract: Activation of the Ki-ras proto-oncogene is common in colon carcinogenesis. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit carcinogen-induced colon carcinogenesis, decrease the frequency of Ki-ras mutations in the azoxymethane-treated rat model, and induce apoptosis in a variety of cell types. Sulindac, as well as other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, are provided in combination with DFMO for the prevention and/or treatment of cancers characterized by the expression of an activated Ki-ras. Provided with the present invention are pharmaceutically acceptable compositions that include a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, sulindac, together with an effective amount of difluoromethylornithine.

Title: Camera dolly arm
Inventor: CHAPMAN LEONARD T
IPC: B66F11/04
Filed: 1999-03-29
Abstract: A camera dolly (20) has an upper arm (22) pivotable on a lower arm (32). Chains (52) and sprockets (58, 62) within the lower arm (32) raise the upper arm (22) when the lower arm is raised by a hydraulic actuator (70). Leveling rods (54) maintain a camera platform (26) in a level position as the arm is raised and lowered. A center plate (86) in the lower arm and a brace plate (104) in the upper arm increase the strength and stiffness of the arm. The ratio between the lower sprocket and upper sprocket within the lower arm is greater than 2:1, providing additional arm travel. A structural tube (100) in the upper arm section provides a secure attachment point for a leveling head.

Patent CA-2334475-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHMUCKER ERWIN
IPC: B28B3/10
Filed: 2001-02-07
Abstract: The process produces concrete blocks with different thicknesses of the core concrete and facing concrete in a single mold. To change the height of the core concrete layer and the facing concrete layer, the vertically movable bottom parts of the multichamber mold are first moved into the first vertical position. After the mold is filled with the core concrete the bottom parts together with the core concrete and the lowered pressure plates are moved down into the second vertical position for precompaction. After precompaction, the pressure plates are raised and the mold cavities are filled with the facing concrete. For subsequent finish-compaction the two concrete layers together with the bottom parts and the pressure plates are moved down until the top edge of the bottom parts is at the same height with the bottom edge of the mold: After finish-compaction the bottom parts are moved horizontally to the outside under the mold and finished concrete block is removed from the mold.

Patent CA-2334777-A1 (CA)
Title: Generatrice compacte amelioree, roue electroluminescente munie d'une telle generatrice et procede de fabrication
Inventor: HYUN KWANG-IK
IPC: H02K15/02
Filed: 2000-03-29
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un générateur compact amélioré, à une roue photoémettrice incorporant un tel générateur et à un procédé de fabrication d'une telle roue. Pour produire un générateur compact et léger qui réalise une induction électromagnétique uniforme par croisement des directions du flux magnétique d'une bobine d'induit et d'un aimant permanent, on propose une structure d'ensemble contenant un bras d'induit et la bobine d'induit. Pour prévenir les dommages causés par des chocs à l'aimant permanent et pour utiliser un aimant permanent à base d'éléments de terres rares du type en anneau ayant une épaisseur de 1,2 mm en lanthanides ayant une force magnétique 9 à 10 fois supérieure à celle d'un aimant permanent à base de ferrite mais avec une faible résistance aux chocs, on propose un ensemble à aimant permanent, dont l'aimant permanent est placé sur un tampon. En outre, pour faciliter la connexion par fil conducteur entre le générateur et le dispositif photoémetteur et pour prévenir les dommages au fil conducteur, lors du moulage du moyeu de roue, qui est moulé par injection en un seul bloc avec l'ensemble bobine d'induit, on prévoit au niveau de l'ensemble à bobine d'induit une partie creuse saillante de guidage du fil conducteur, qui sert à protéger le fil conducteur. On obtient ainsi un générateur plus compact, plus léger et qui peut être fabriqué de façon fiable et efficace dans une roue dont la production en grande quantité est améliorée et qui peut être facilement remplacée. La taille de ce générateur ainsi amélioré est également réduite, pour qu'on puisse le monter dans la roue d'un patin à roulettes. Dès lors que le dispositif photoémetteur émet une lumière de couleur sous l'action du courant induit par la force de rotation de la roue, l'utilisateur peut facilement identifier sa position dans l'obscurité, les risques d'accident sont réduits et les bénéfices qu'en retire l'utilisateur et les autres personnes présentes sont en même temps accrus. On simplifie en outre la fabrication de la roue photoémettrice en installant des dispositifs photoémetteurs sur une plaque à circuit métallique à l'aide d'un robot automatisé avant ou après le montage d'une plaque à circuit métallique supplémentaire au niveau du moyeu de roue, et en insérant cette plaque à circuit métallique dans le moyeu de roue. Ainsi, la main d'oeuvre nécessaire pour l'opération de soudage des dispositifs photoémetteurs peut être réduite, l'opération d'assemblage de la roue peut être simplifiée et la connexion entre le générateur et le dispositif photoémetteur est facilitée, ce qui abaisse le taux de déficiences et améliore la production en grande quantité. Enfin, lors de l'utilisation d'un aimant à base d'éléments de terres rares coûteux, on peut réduire l'épaisseur de l'aimant permanent en le fixant à l'aide du tampon, ce qui accroît sa valeur économique.

Title: Apparatus for dimming a fluorescent lamp with a magnetic ballast
Inventor: SZABADOS BARNA
IPC: H05B41/392
Filed: 1999-10-15
Abstract: A current controlled dimmer for controlling the output intensity of a fluorescent lamp with a magnetic ballast. The current controlled dimmer generates an AC current which follows the shape of the AC line voltage for the fluorescent lamp. The light intensity output of the fluorescent lamp is controlled by varying the amplitude of the AC current.  The AC current is generated using a pulse width modulator (PWM) to modulate the AC line voltage. The current controlled dimmer (10) utilizes a feedback control loop which applies proportional and integral (PI) control to the PWM modulation. In another embodiment of the current controlled dimmer, the AC current is generated by rectifying the AC line voltage and modulating the rectified voltage by a pulse width modulator (PWM) into positive and negative cycles to generate a 60 Hz AC current signal.
