Patent CA-2187577-C (CA)
Title: Exerciser
Inventor: MOON DANIEL R
IPC: A63B21/008
Filed: 1996-10-10
Granted: 2002-09-03
Abstract: This disclosure relates to a rower-type exerciser comprising a support base, a seat, and pivot links con-necting the seat with the base to produce a glider-type rocking motion.  A resistance device is connected between the parts to resist or restrain the rocking motion. Force arms are attached to the links to enable an opera-tor on the seat to induce the rocking motion, and a foot brace is attached to the support base to enable the oper-ator to brace the feet and/or push or pull forward with footstraps in place against the brace to further induce the rocking motion.  The user can emphasize force contri-butions of either the user's top extremities or lower extremities to the rocking motion inducing forces.

Abstract: This invention provides for novel dose regimen of paclitaxel to treat Kaposi's sarcoma. Unlike current paclitaxel therapy protocols, the claimed dosages are lower yet surprisingly as effective in regression of KS tumors. In addition, the lower doses are accompanied with fewer incidents of undesired side effects. The effectiveness of low doses of paclitaxel as well as fewer and less debilitating side effects, makes this therapy protocol the first that can be used for long term and as maintenance therapy in the management of patients with Kaposi's sarcoma.

Patent CA-2193789-C (CA)
Inventor: KOPPELMAN H JOHN
IPC: B64C7/00
Filed: 1996-12-23
Granted: 2004-04-20
Abstract: The invention is an aircraft apparatus consisting of a two part hinge line fairing design for preventing physical interference between the two fairing parts while eliminating unacceptable gaps between the two fairing parts. The problems are made worse by the fact that the hinge line is not perpendicular to the longitudinal centerline of the fairing which is aligned with the airflow. The problems, such as gaps, are unsightly and also increase drag. These problems are solved by the use of two matching surfaces of the fairing having substantially the same curvature and radius in all directions. The slight difference in curvature, and radius, is appropriate to allow a smaller fairing part to extend into a larger fairing part for freedom of movement with respect to each other. Accordingly, the first of the two surfaces should have radii r1 equal to the distance from the hinge point D to the fairing surface, and the second of the two surfaces should preferably have radii r2 equal to the distance from the hinge point D to the second of the fairing surfaces plus approximately .15 inches or so to allow for clearance with the first fairing surface.

Abstract: A device useful for collection of sperm from human males, preferably in a discreet and camouflaged manner. The device includes an outer shell having a generally tubular inside chamber and an exterior with the appearance of an ordinary device normally found in a public environment such as one having the appearance of a flashlight. The shell provides access to the chamber via at least one removable cap having an exterior appearance compatible with the ordinary device. The chamber is filled by an insert formed from an elastomeric gel having the general tactile feel of human flesh. One end of the insert has an opening simulating a body orifice. The insert includes a central passage sized to accommodate a human male sex organ in said opening while providing at least a cushioning amount of the elastomeric gel. A preferred insert includes radially extending high points for engagement with the chamber and radially extending low points for expansion of the central passage during use. The preferred elastomeric gel is formed from a mixture of plasticizing oil and a block copolymer selected from styrene ethylene butylene styrene block copolymers and styrene ethylene propylene styrene block copolymers. The preferred elastomeric gel is formed from a mixture of 5-9% by weight of the block copolymer and 90-94% by weight of the plasticizing oil, and trace amounts of pigments and fillers.

Abstract: A pedal supporting structure in which a pedal is prevented from being moved in a direction toward a passenger compartment if a deformation occurs in a dash panel in the direction toward the passenger compartment. A pedal bracket pivotally supports a lever portion of the pedal.  A connection mechanism disengageably engages a portion of the pedal bracket to a body member located near the pedal bracket.  A guiding mechanism guides movement of the pedal bracket so that the movement of the pedal bracket causes movement of the pedal relative to the body member in a rear-to-front direction of the vehicle.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif (10) et un procédé où les composants électriques (16) sont suspendus mécaniquement et interconnectés électriquement dans un corps isolant (11) en un élastomère tel que le silicone, ce qui élimine la nécessité d'une plaquette pour circuits imprimés ou d'autres substrats pour circuits imprimés. Le dispositif (10) peut changer de forme par compression, dilatation, flexion et par l'effet d'autres forces externes, tout en conservant intactes ses qualités électriques et mécaniques. Le dispositif (10) peut être comprimé et déformé pour s'adapter étroitement dans un autre dispositif, tel qu'un boîtier simple (50) d'un connecteur électrique ou un boîtier en plastique en deux parties et à charnière, en créant simultanément des forces élastiques assurant un contact fiable et une protection étanche contre l'environnement. Dans ces conditions, le dispositif et le procédé peuvent trouver de nombreuses applications, comme par exemple dans le filtrage électrique en avionique, les connecteurs pour ordinateurs ou automobiles ou dans la réalisation de boîtiers électroniques pour implants médicaux non intrusifs.

Abstract: On décrit des compositions d'hygiène personnelle contenant un tensioactif anionique en tant qu'agent nettoyant ainsi qu'un dendrimère cationique en tant qu'adjuvant de douceur. Le dendrimère abaisse le potentiel d'irritation du tensioactif. Ces dendrimères cationiques restent dispersés dans des solutions de tensioactifs anioniques; ils sont nettement moins visqueux que des adjuvants de douceur polymères cationiques linéaires, et sont monodispersés. En outre, ils se comportent mieux que des polymères cationiques linéaires, notamment en présence de tensioactifs anioniques agressifs, tels que du dodécylsulfate de sodium.
