Title: Enhanced efficacy antiperspirant compositions containing strontium or calcium
Inventor: SHEN YAN-FEI
IPC: A61Q15/00
Filed: 2004-08-10
Abstract: Disclosed are enhanced efficacy antiperspirant compositions containing a strontium salt and/or a calcium salt. In particular, there is disclosed an antiperspirant composition comprising a dermatologically acceptable carrier vehicle, about 8% to about 22% (USP) of an aluminum-zirconium chlorohydrate-gly antiperspirant salt, wherein the antiperspirant salt has an HPLC peak 5 area of at least 33%, and about 0.5% to about 15%, preferably about 1% to about 6%, by weight, of a water soluble salt selected from the group consisting of a water soluble strontium salt, a water soluble calcium salt and a mixture thereof. It has been found that the inclusion of a strontium salt and/or a calcium salt boosts the efficacy of a high peak 5 antiperspirant salt. As a preferred feature, the antiperspirant salt and the water soluble salt are dissolved in at least a portion of the carrier vehicle.

Title: Catalytic bioconversion of petroleum-contaminated wastes/wastewaters using kenaf core powder
Inventor: TIEMEYER ERIC B
IPC: C02F11/147
Filed: 2006-07-25
Abstract: A Catalytic Bioconversion (CB) process using kenaf core powder is used to promote an environmentally friendly method to biologically treat the petroleum contaminants in these wastes and waste waters while simultaneously producing a high energy solid fuel. The new process has very low capital and operating costs, treats and converts hazardous waste to non-hazardous waste, and can produce a viable solid fuel product instead of a waste. Typically, these petroleum-contaminated waste/wastewaters undergo some type of hydrocarbon separation and recovery via phase separation using heat and chemical treatment in storage tanks. The objective is to recover as much "good" hydrocarbon as possible and recycle it back to the production process. The material that is not recoverable, an emulsion of oil, water, and solids must be further processed and eventually discarded.

Patent CA-2559259-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SKAARUP JENSEN LARS
IPC: C04B2/04
Filed: 2005-02-16
Abstract: Described is a method as well as an apparatus for hydration of a particulate or pulverulent material containing CaO. The method is peculiar in that water is added in a quantity which will ensure that the partial pressure PH2O of the added water as a function of the temperature (~C) is maintained within the interval defined by the formula (I), where PH2O is the partial pressure of water vapour in atm. and T is the temperature in ~C. Hereby is obtained that the material particles do not lump into agglomerates, and that the particles are hydrated evenly from the outside and inwards so that it is the active surface of the material particles which undergoes hydration in connection with partial hydration. This is due to the fact that the liquid water will not get into contact with the material particles since the water will appear in vapour form within the specified interval.

Title: Methods and systems for utilizing delayed dilution, mixing and filtering to provide customized varieties of fresh-brewed coffee on-demand
Inventor: CONNOR CHRISTOPHER WADE
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2000-08-14
Abstract: An improved system for providing an individually customized fresh brewed coffee beverage on demand by a customer, in a wide range of variety and strength. Said brewing system for making relatively large quantities of fresh brewed coffee beverages (in particular, customized as to desired variety, body, character and/or strengths), as chosen by multiple individual consumers just prior to their consumption. Said system is easy to use by the consumer or other individual (e.g., restaurant wait staff) obtaining the customized beverage. Further, maintenance of the equipment requires only a small amount of personal attention by the owner/operator of the equipment. A general object of the present invention is to utilize "delayed dilution" of a concentrated extract to provide a beverage brewing system which immediately (upon customer selection) provides selective dilution (based on individual consumer's selections) of a fresh-brewed coffee extract after the extract has been allowed to brew and held as an extract before dilution. It is also a general object of the present invention to utilize the undiluted extract to mix and dissolve other beverage compounds to make flavored coffees, cappuccinos, lattes, and the like. "Delayed mixing" and/or "delayed filtering" may also be utilized.

Abstract: Spinal stabilization devices, systems and methods are provided that include at least one pedicle screw and at least one mechanism that supports three degrees of rotational freedom relative to the pedicle screw. The mechanism may include a universal joint mechanism or a ball and socket mechanism. The dynamic junction is advantageously incorporated into a spinal stabilization system that includes additional pedicle screw(s), spherical element(s) and socket member(s). Pedicle screws are disclosed that includes an upwardly extending collet. The collet may include downwardly extending slots that define deflectable segments therebetween. The pedicle screw may include a preloaded set screw that is maintained in position by an interference is advantageously formed on the set screw to prevent dislodgement of the set screw, e.g., during shipment arid/or clinical placement of the pedicle screw. When a spherical element or other structure, e.g., a non-dynamic stabilizing element, is positioned around the collet, introduction of a set screw causes outward deflection of the upstanding segments into engagement with the spherical element. A snap ring may be interposed between the collet and the spherical element to facilitate positioning therebetween. In an alternative embodiment, a non-slotted collet is employed. Tapered guide members are disclosed for positioning adjacent to or in juxtaposition with the head of a pedicle screw.  A component, e.g., a spherical element, may be advanced onto a collet that extends upwardly from the head of the pedicle screw using the guide member. A  guidewire may also be employed to guide components to the pedicle screw and/or to guide the guidewire into position. The disclosed force imparting mechanisms may include a sheath positioned therearound. The sheath is fabricated from a material that accommodates relative movement of the abutment members, while exhibiting substantially inert behavior relative to surrounding anatomical structures.

Abstract: Methods and systems for estimating and canceling pilot interference in a wireless (e.g., CDMA) communication system. In one method, a received signal comprised of a number of signal instances, each including a pilot, is initially processed to provide data samples. Each signal instance's pilot interference may be estimated by despreading the data samples with a spreading sequence for the signal instance, channelizing the despread data to provide pilot symbols, filtering the pilot symbols to estimate the channel response of the signal instance, and multiplying the estimated channel response with the spreading sequence. The pilot interference estimates due to a plurality of interfering multipaths are accumulated to derive the total pilot interference, which is subtracted from the data samples to provide pilot-canceled data samples. These samples are then processed to derive demodulated data for each of at least one (desired) signal instance in the received signal.

Abstract: OsK1 is a 38-residue peptide with 3 disulphide bridges and is found in the venom of the scorpion Orthochirus scrobiculosus. It is potently active on voltage-gated K+ channels Kv1.1, Kvl.2 and Kvl.3, and moderately active on the type 1 intermediate-conductance Cat2+~-activated channel Kca3.1. Derivatives of OsK1, particularly involving truncation or point mutations, have been developed to enhance the activity against and selectivity for the Kvl.3 channel. This renders the derivatives likely candidates for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis. Such use may be alone or in combination therapy with maurotoxin, another scorpion toxin.
