Patent CA-2378576-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHARZINSKI JOACHIM
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2000-07-04
Abstract: In known art, information is transmitted via redundant connecting lines. This concept cannot be used easily for the transmission of IP packets. According to the invention, the priority information which is allocated to each IP packet in the TOS field is used to route the relevant IP packet via either the active or the redundant connecting line. If a malfunction occurs, the transmission units are switched over to the redundant connecting line and the high priority IP packets take precedence over the IP packets with lower priority.

Patent CA-2385454-A1 (CA)
Title: Substance regulatrice de viscosite et utilisation de celle-ci
Inventor: MANION CARL V
IPC: A61K38/05
Filed: 2000-09-21
Abstract: On a découvert que N-L-alpha-aspartyl-L-phénylalanine 1-méthyl ester (APM) abaisse la viscosité sanguine totale chez des patients, y compris ceux qui souffrent de drépanocytose et de dysglobulinémie plasmocytaire. Lors d'un traitement à l'APM in vivo, on a constaté chez des patients une baisse significative de la viscosité sanguine totale. L'ajout in vitro d'APM dans des prélèvements de patients présentant une viscosité sanguine totale élevée a entraîné une réduction de cette viscosité au fil du temps. Ces résultats in vitro et in vivo montrent qu'APM est un agent thérapeutique destiné à des maladies moléculaires qui induisent une élévation de la viscosité sanguine totale. Cette invention concerne aussi une technique permettant de surveiller le traitement à l'APM.

Title: Sweetener compositions with a high intense of sweetness having improved sweetness, taste modifier and uses thereof
Inventor: ISHII SHOICHI
IPC: A23L27/30
Filed: 2000-09-26
Abstract: Sweetener compositions with a high degree of sweetness having sweetness characteristics approximating more closely to the sweetness characteristics of sucrose which are obtained by blending aspartyl dipeptide ester derivatives which are sweetener components having a high degree of sweetness (for example, N-[N-[3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)propyl]-L-.alpha.-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester) with at least one compound selected from among other sweetener components having a high degree of sweetness (Aspartame, etc.), saccharides, sugar alcohols and oligosaccharides so as to strengthen the first taste of the derivatives and weaken the after taste, thereby improving the balance of the first taste and the after taste. The above aspartyl dipeptide ester derivatives are also usable as corrigents. By using these corrigents, an effect of largely eliminating or relieving bitterness can be achieved and maintained on compositions (drinks, foods, drugs, etc.), without undesirably affecting the physical properties (in particular, viscosity of liquid compositions) or worsening the qualities (for example, browning) during storage. Thus, drinks, foods, drugs, etc. having favorable taste characteristics with relieved bitterness can be provided.

IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2002-08-13
Abstract: A reaction vessel, particularly for use in parallel synthetic chemistry, is characterized by an inner structure, namely a reaction chamber and a discharge channel which are interconnected. The interconnection preferably consist of a connection channel between the bottom of the reaction chamber and the discharge channel so that almost any liquid in the reaction chamber can be removed through the discharge channel. The connection channel may be molded by an extension hinged to the core molding the reaction chamber, so that the reaction vessel can be conveniently manufactured by injection molding. A reaction block particularly for use with these reaction vessels comprises a closure means covering the open ends of the discharge channel and the reaction chamber of at least two of the reaction vessels. By guiding means the closure means is directed to perform a generally linear movement in moving from the opening to the closing position, and during this movement, to move towards the open ends of the vessels in order to close them with a force withstanding also an overpressure possibly developing within the vessels.
