Title: Formulation of dual cycloxygenase (cox) and lipoxygenase (lox) inhibitors for mammal skin care
Inventor: JIA QI
IPC: A61K31/353
Filed: 2004-04-02
Abstract: The present invention provides a novel composition of matter comprised of a mixture of two specific classes of compounds --Free-B-Ring flavonoids and flavans-- for use in the prevention and treatment of diseases and conditions associated with the skin. This composition of matter simultaneously inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymatic activity in normal, aged and damaged dermal cells and tissues. This invention further provides a method for the prevention and treatment of diseases and conditions of the skin mediated by cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX). The method for preventing and treating COX-2 and 5-LO mediated diseases and conditions of the skin is comprised of topically administering to a host in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising a mixture of Free-B-Ring flavonoids and flavans synthesized and/or isolated from a single plant or multiple plants, preferably in the Scutellaria and Acacia genus of plants and pharmaceutically and/or cosmetically acceptable carriers. Finally the present invention provides a method for the prevention and treatment of COX  and LOX mediated diseases and conditions, including but not limited to sun burns, thermal burns, acne, topical wounds, minor inflammatory conditions caused by fungal, microbial and viral infections, vitilago, systemic lupus erythromatosus, psoriasis, carcinoma, melanoma, as well as other mammal skin cancers, skin damage resulting from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, chemicals, heat, wind and dry environments, wrinkles, saggy skin, lines and dark circles around the eyes, dermatitis and other allergy related conditions of the skin. Use of the composition described herein also affords the benefit of smooth and youthful skin with improved elasticity, reduced and delayed aging, enhanced youthful appearance and texture, and increased flexibility, firmness, smoothness and suppleness.

Title: Picture coding method
Inventor: HANNUKSELA MISKA
IPC: H04N/
Filed: 2004-04-29
Abstract: Encoded pictures comprise one or more independently decodable frames, reference frames, and predicted frames. In the method an arrangement step is performed for arranging the pictures in an encoding order, and information on the presentation order is defined for the encoded pictures. Further in the method, a transmission step is performed for transmitting said encoded pictures to a decoder, a decoding step for decoding the encoded pictures for forming decoded pictures, and rearranging step for arranging the decoded pictures in presentation order. An expected increment value of the presentation order per picture is defined, and a parameter indicative of the difference between the expected increment value and the real increment value is calculated. The calculated parameter is VLC coded, and the VLC coded parameter is transmitted, wherein the VLC coded parameter is used in the decoder for arranging the decoded pictures in correct presentation order.
