Abstract: L'invention concerne des dispositifs de moulage par microréaction et des procédés permettant de mouler des couches extrêmement fines sur des surfaces de substrats. Les moules et les procédés de moulage permettent de conférer aux couches qui sont appliquées sur des surfaces de substrats consistance et uniformité. Les moules peuvent consister en un composite simple, tel que de la silice gravée, ou multi-composites, tel que quartz/métal. En outre, les moules peuvent être pourvus d'un orifice de moulage réglable. Les moules décrits dans la présente invention sont particulièrement utiles pour produire des couches polymères fines sur des substrats de micro-puce.

Abstract: An apparatus for projecting images (100, 200, 300, 400) onto a projection screen is disclosed. The apparatus incorporates novel features to reduce bot h cost and size while providing a high level of illumination uniformity at the  projection surface (308). Specifically, the apparatus uses an illumination focusing group (104, 210, 220, 222) for providing a uniform level of light o n the image (106) to be projected. The illumination focusing group (104, 210, 220, 222) is designed to make use of lenses unsuitable for use as projection  lenses (108, 110, 220, 222), thus reducing scrap and the attendant cost thereof.
Patent CA-2395411-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SMITH RICHARD ALAN
IPC: A61K31/485
Filed: 2000-12-22
Abstract: Selon l'invention, on peut aider des patients à se libérer de la toxicomanie ou de l'accoutumance aux drogues et antidépresseurs, en les traitant à l'aide de deux médicaments, dont l'un est du dextrométhorphane (DM), utilisé pendant des décades en tant que principe actif antitussif dans des sirops contre la toux, l'autre étant un inhibiteur de l'oxydase, supprimant l'activité d'une enzyme du foie appelée cytochrome P450-2D6 (également dénommée débrisoquine hydroxylase, spartéine mono-oxygénase, cytochrome P450-DB et CYP2D6). Chez la plupart des patients, cette oxydase dégrade rapidement le dextrométhorphane et le convertit en un métabolite appelé dextrorphane. Un inhibiteur de l'oxydase (tel que la quinidine) qui supprime l'activité du cytochrome P450-2D6, augmente la demi-vie et la concentration du dextrométhorphane dans le sang circulant. Lorsque l'on administre ce traitement par voie orale à des patients morphinomanes et accoutumés aux antidépresseurs, à la suite de douleurs chroniques rebelles, ce traitement aide d'abord les patients à réduire leur consommation de morphine et d'autres médicaments, notamment les antidépresseurs. Lors d'un essai supplémentaire, ce traitement combiné a permis à des patients de cesser toute utilisation de morphine et d'antidépresseurs, avec peu d'effets de sevrage ou d'effets secondaires. Il est important de noter que ces mêmes patients n'avaient retiré aucun bénéfice de la prise seule du dextrométhorphane, c'est-à-dire sans l'inhibiteur de l'oxydase. En conséquence, la combinaison du dextrométhorphane et d'un médicament anti-oxydase peut permettre au moins à quelques patients de se libérer totalement de l'emprise des narcotiques et/ou antidépresseurs, même après des années d'utilisation pour soulager des douleurs chroniques ou d'autres problèmes médicaux, même lorsque ces patients n'ont pas été sensiblement aidés par la prise du dextrométhorphane seul.
