Title: Sulfoalkyl ether-alkyl ether cyclodextrin derivatives
Inventor: TONGIANI SERENA
IPC: C08B37/16
Filed: 2004-10-29
Abstract: A sulfoalkyl ether-alkyl ether cyclodextrin (SAE-AE-CD) derivative is provided. The SAE-AE-CD possesses advantages over known SAE-CD and AE-CD  derivatives as well as over the parent cyclodextrin by being more water soluble and less membrane disturbing. The SAE-AE-CD includes at least one sulfoalkyl ether group and at least one alkyl ether group even though the degree of substitution for the functional groups can be different. The SAE  functional group can be present in molar excess over the AE functional group and vice versa. The total degree of substitution of the cyclodextrin, with respect to both functional groups, can be varied such that a minority or a majority of the hydroxyl moieties off the CD are derivatized. The SAE-AE-CD  derivative can be used to solubilize compounds with insufficient water solubility. In some cases, they also stabilize compounds in solution against degradation or to solubilize degradation products formed during degradation.  In addition, SAE-AE-CD can also be used for other purposes such as osmotic agents, agents used to mask the taste of problematic drugs. Surprisingly, while AE-CDs are known to be toxic by being membrane disturbing, SAE-AE-CDs are less membrane disturbing and therefore have greater safety.

Filed: 2005-04-11
Abstract: The present invention is a method of screening a patient with macular edema associated with visual loss for implantation of a sustained release drug-delivery implant that is less invasive than implanting a drug-delivery implant and is minimally invasive. The method comprises injecting a first steroid, eg.  triamcinolone acetonide, having anti-inflammatory activity as a bolus into a patient's eye. Patients that experience a reduction in swelling in the retina (typically the macula and preferably the fovia) and improved vision are identified as candidate patients. Candidate patients are patients that are more likely to benefit from the implantation of a sustained release drug-delivery implant into the eye containing a second steroid, for example fluocinolone acetonide.

Patent CA-2562861-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BURLINGTON GUY JAMES
IPC: F16D9/02
Filed: 2005-05-05
Abstract: A vacuum cleaner motor assembly comprises a motor in a bucket (32), arranged to drive a fan to provide airflow. An epicyclic gear system (34) is attached to the output shaft (33) of the motor, to produce an output of reduced rotational speed. The output is employed to drive an agitator via a belt. The belt is driven at a reduced rotational speed to that achievable hitherto, and thus there is reduced wear on the belt. The provision of a gear arrangement mounted directly to the motor casing provides a compact assembly. One of the epicyclic gears, such as the ring gear (39), is arranged to slip with respect to a clutch member (41) if the agitator becomes jammed. An actuator (50) switches off the motor if the heat of friction of the slipping gear exceeds a predetermined value, or if the slipping gear rotates at a speed above a predetermined value. Thus, the motor switches off before damage occurs to any of the components of the system.
