Patent CA-2491511-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HUANG W JAMES
IPC: A61P37/04
Filed: 1996-10-10
Abstract: Formulations for controlled, prolonged release of GM-CSF have been developed.  These are based on solid microparticles formed of the combination of biodegradable, synthetic polymers such as poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(glycolic acid) (PGA), and copolymers thereof with excipients and drug loadings that yield zero order or first order release, or multiphasic release over a period of approximately three to twenty-one days, preferably one week, when administered by injection. In the preferred embodiment, the microparticles are microspheres having diameters in the range of 10 to 60 microns, formed of a blend of PLGA  having different molecular weights, most preferably 6,000, 30,00 and 41,000. Other embodiments have been developed to alter the release kinetics or the manner in which the drug is distributed in vivo. For example, in some cases a polymer is selected which elicits a mild inflammatory reaction, for example, PLGA and polyanhydrides can act as chemoattractant, either due to the polymer itself or minor contaminants in the polymer, or polymers which are bioadhesive are used for transmucosal or oral delivery. In another embodiment, the GM-CSF is administered in a hydrogel which can be injected subcutaneous or at a specific site for controlled release. The microparticles or hydrogel are administered to the patient in an amount effective to stimulate proliferation of hematopoietic cells, especially white cells.

IPC: E03C1/05
Filed: 2005-01-12
Abstract: A capacitive touch-controlled automatic faucet comprises: a spout, a magnetically latching valve, a proximity sensor, a handle, a capacitive touch-control, and a logical control. The proximity sensor is sensitive to motion of objects within a detection zone of the proximity sensor. The handle determines a water flow rate and temperature. The capacitive touch-control is positioned in the spout and generates an output signal while the touch-control is in contact with a user. The logical control receives the output signal, and toggles the magnetically latching valve when the output signal begins and ends within a period of time less than a predetermined threshold, but does not toggle the magnetically latching valve when the output signal persists for a period longer than the predetermined threshold. The faucet has a manual mode, wherein the proximity sensor is inactive, and a hands-free mode, wherein water flow is toggled in response to the proximity sensor.

Title: Modification of syndiotactic polypropylene with mineral oil
Inventor: SCHARDL JOSEPH M
IPC: B29C48/08
Filed: 2003-08-07
Abstract: Syndiotactic polypropylene blends having a unique set of mechanical properties may be prepared by blending syndiotactic polypropylene with a high molecular weight mineral oil, an ultra low density polyethylene, or both. The syndiotactic polypropylene blends of the present invention have been found to have reduced flexuralmodulus, reduced haze, improved impact strength and shorter injection molding cycle times. It has been determined that the addition of about 5 to about 10 percent high molecular weight mineral oil to a syndiotactic polypropylene can decrease flexural modulus values by about 25 to about 30 percent. Moreover, the addition of up to about 10 percent mineral oil to the syndiotactic polypropylene material does not show signs of bleeding or impair clarity, in fact, percent haze values are slightly improved with the addition of mineral oil. Additionally, injection molding cycle time optimization shows an improvement of about 12 seconds in overall cycle time utilizing a syndiotactic polypropylene blend with 5% mineral oil in comparison to a syndiotactic polypropylene without mineral oil. The syndiotactic polypropylene blends according to the present invention may be further processed according to accepted practices to make cast films, blown films, injection molded parts, blow molded containers, and other articles using basic plastics fabrication techniques as known in the art.
