Title: Antiperspirant structured emulsion compositions
Inventor: KOWALSKI ADAM JAN
IPC: A61L9/012
Filed: 2000-03-31
Abstract: An antiperspirant composition is a structured emulsion of a continuous phase containing water-immiscible liquid carrier plus a structurant, and a disperse phase which is a solution of antiperspirant active in water or a mixture of water and water-soluble solvent. The structurant is a fully or partially esterified saccharide. The compositions give low visible residue when applied to skin or to clothing.
Patent CA-2366309-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FITZPATRICK JUDITH
IPC: G01N33/92
Filed: 2000-03-16
Abstract: A method has been developed to detect the levels of apolipoproteins A-1 and B  in saliva, which is correlated with the levels of HDL and LDL in serum, respectively. In unstimulated saliva, the ratio of Apo A to Apo B is correlated with the ratio of HDL to LDL in serum. Albumin can be used to normalize the sample for dilution. The high degree of correlation in combination with a simple, quick test that can be performed at the site of collection provides a coast effective, patient friendly means to monitor an individual's risk of heart disease. In the preferred embodiment, saliva production is stimulated by means such as breath mint or tart solution (such as lemon) and the effect of dilution controlled by reference to albumin. In the most preferred embodiment, the assay is an ELISA assay performed using the Serex laminated strip format as described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,710,009, 5,500,375, and 5,451, 504. These strips are advantageous since they serve as the collection and assay device.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour fabriquer un article rétroréfléchissant qui comprend les étapes suivantes : fournir un appareil (outil ou moule) possédant une première surface granulée, appliquer une couche réfléchissante sur la première surface granulée qui donnera une première valeur d'adhérence entre la couche réfléchissante et la première surface granulée, la couche réfléchissante possédant une surface exposée; appliquer un polymère de moulage à la surface exposée de la couche réfléchissante qui donnera une seconde valeur d'adhérence entre la couche réfléchissante et le polymère de moulage. La seconde valeur d'adhérence est supérieure à la première valeur d'adhérence. L'appareil est séparé du polymère de moulage pour produire un article réfléchissant qui possède une seconde surface granulée qui est l'image inversée de la première surface granulée. La séparation entraîne un transfert de la couche réfléchissante de la première surface granulée à l'article rétroréfléchissant. Le procédé permet de former la couche réfléchissante pendant l'étape de séparation, de préférence à une formation indépendante de la création de la seconde surface granulée. Le procédé peut produire un article qui possède une seconde surface granulée enduite d'un matériau réfléchissant en aluminium possédant des microstructures en aluminium qui sont essentiellement amorphes sur un premier côté (le côté proche de la seconde surface granulée) et essentiellement cristallines sur un second côté qui est face au premier côté.

Title: Low-till harrow implement
Inventor: MCFARLANE STANLEY E
IPC: A01B49/02
Filed: 2002-03-11
Abstract: A low till agricultural implement has a frame with a hitch for attachment to a tractor. A straight coulter composed of an array of parallel circular blades is mounted to the front of the frame, and is followed by a spiral reel assembly and a spike tooth harrow assembly. The circular blades are mounted perpendicular to rotating shafts, and slice through field residue and soil with minimal side movement of material. The blades of the following reel then make cuts nearly perpendicular to those made by the circular blades. A trailing level bar follows the spiral reel. The implement aids in drying the soil surface layer, and, by cutting up residue and even spreading, the implement helps to warm up the soil.

Title: Light-receiving element and photodetector using the same
Inventor: NAKAMA KENICHI
IPC: H01L31/105
Filed: 2001-07-10
Abstract: A light receiving device for readily determining the center of gravity of the light intensity in a long wavelength band for optical communication. An InGaAs layer (i layer) and a p-type InP layer are formed on an n-type InP substrate, and electrodes are formed on the rear surface of the n-type substrate and at the opposite ends on the surface of the p-type layer. A spot light impinging on the surface is transduced photoelectrically to generate a photocurrent flowing laterally on the surface of the p-type layer, and a current corresponding to the distance is outputted from the electrodes at the opposite ends. The center of gravity of the light intensity is determined by calculation based on the values of the currents outputted from the electrodes at the opposite ends, and the light intensity is determined from the sum of the currents outputted from the electrodes at the opposite ends. Furthermore, a photodetector for measuring the light intensity and the center of gravity of each light produced by demultiplexing a wavelength multiplexed signal light is constituted using the light receiving device.

Abstract: An interactive Internet enabled third party human resources computer system allows a worker to automatically file a grievance. The process begins when a worker with a grievance connects to a home page (620) run by a third party and describes their complaint. Inputting the details of the complaint is a guided process (630). The worker is presented with a succession of questions that elicit information about the complaint. The list of questions and their order is a dynamic process, using previous answers to guide the "discussion". The process continues when the completed complaint is analyzed by the system: it is categorized and graded (minor, major, potential legal liability). The system then uses the category and grade to determine which type of person (HR  personnel or attorney) should be notified (650). Finally, the system manager accesses the system, and is able to arrive at the details of the complaint. At this point (680) the system manager will have links to various pieces of ancillary information from the company -HR manuals, procedures, etc. The system manager will formulate replies and actions and begin handling the complaint (690).
Patent CA-2386806-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BLASBERG RONALD G
IPC: A61K49/00
Filed: 2000-10-04
Abstract: The present invention provides non-invasive compositions and methods to detect solid tumors using tumor-targeted bacteria. specifically, the present invention provides compositions and methods for detecting solid tumors in vivo by delivery of a marker gene to a solid tumor via a population of tumor-targeted bacteria, methods for detecting solid tumors by detecting a compound incorporated into the bacteria, methods for detecting solid tumors by detecting an infection caused by the bacteria at the tumor site(s), methods for detecting solid tumors by detecting an antigen present on the surface of the bacterial vectors. When detecting a tumor entails detecting a marker gene product expressed by the tumor-targeted bacteria, the marker gene product can be detected directly in the tumor, by the use of a labeled moiety that interacts with the marker gene product, or by the use of the labeled marker substrate. Thus, if a marker gene product is directly detectable, it can be detected directly. When a marker gene product is not directly detectable, a labeled moiety that interacts with the marker gene product is detected, or a labeled marker substrate is used and a labeled marker metabolite is detected.  A tumor can thus be localized or detected by scanning a subject to detect the marker gene product, a labeled complex comprising the marker gene product and its interacting moiety, or a labeled marker metabolite, respectively, thereby imaging the tumor. Specifically, the attenuated tumor-targeted bacteria of the invention are facultative aerobes or facultative anaerobes which are modified to encode the marker gene. Still further, this invention provides compositions and methods of simultaneously imaging and treating a tumor in a subject using one or a plurality of populations tumor-targeted organisms. The invention provides non-invasive, clinically applicable methods for imaging tumors which can be implemented using existing imaging techniques to monitor and evaluate in vivo cancer treatments in human subjects. Kits are also provided.
