Title: Use of thickening agents for producing soft capsules and film production method
Inventor: PARIS LAURENCE
IPC: A61K9/48
Filed: 2003-12-16
Abstract: The invention relates to the gelatinisation of liquid viscous, aqueous or hydroalcoholic buffered or not buffered compounds used for producing films for soft capsules. Said compounds are characterised in that the gelatinisation thereof is obtained at any time from thickening agents which exhibit an instant gelatinisation property when contact complex-forming agents. The elasticity of the thus obtained films enables them to contain oily and/ or aqueous solutions by introducing or not introducing plasticizers, by controlling the separation thereof by incorporating or not a surface active agent or polysaccharide and by adding or not a preservative for ensuring the preservation thereof. Said invention also relates to a method for producing films for the capsules consisting in gelifying said films by applying a complex-forming agent to the mass by spraying or soaking. The invention can be used for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and dietetics.
Patent CA-2510587-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LASKEN ROGER S
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2003-12-19
Abstract: L'invention porte sur des compositions et sur un procédé d'amplification de séquences d'acide nucléique considérées. Ce procédé est basé sur la réplication par déplacement des brins des séquences d'acide nucléique au moyen d'amorces. Le procédé est une forme de l'amplification à déplacements multiples utile pour amplifier des échantillons génomiques de l'acide nucléique et autres échantillons d'acide nucléique de grande complexité. Le procédé de cette invention peut être utilisé pour amplifier ces échantillons d'acide nucléique extrêmement complexes au moyen d'une seule amorce ou d'un nombre limité d'amorces. Il s'avère qu'une amorce ou un petit nombre d'amorces peut effectivement amplifier la totalité des génomes et autres échantillons d'acide nucléique ayant une grande complexité de séquence. Les amorces sont notamment sélectionnées ou désignées pour pouvoir amorcer et amplifier efficacement la large plage de séquences présentes dans des échantillons d'acide nucléiques extrêmement complexes en dépit de la quantité limitée de séquences représentées dans les amorces. Il s'avère également que la génération d'artéfacts de poids moléculaire élevé, dans une procédure d'amplification isotherme, est sensiblement réduite ou éliminée, mais continue de permettre l'amplification désirée d'un ADN d'entrée en réalisant la réaction à une température plus élevée et, éventuellement, en présence d'un ou plusieurs additifs. Il s'avère aussi que les réactions d'amplification peuvent produire des produits d'amplification de haute qualité, comme une polarisation faible pendant l'amplification, si elles sont effectuées sur une quantité d'acide nucléique égale ou supérieure à un seuil et/ou sur des acides nucléiques dans une quantité égale ou inférieure à une concentration de seuil.

Abstract: THE WIND OR WATER GENERATOR~ is a wind, hydro or exhaust gas machine for turning large diameter gears.        It is known to have many horizontal blades that form a round tunnel that is suspended by ball bearing race cradles.     In this invention several pairs of large diameter gears encircle the tunnel so as to provide a mechanical moans of coupling up with gears that extended from both side of the generators shaft.        There is a multiplicity of generators that both surround the wind tunnel blades and also extend along the length of the tunnel and bolted to the ground fixed race cradles.        In this invention there is a nose come situated on the ground directly in front of the entrance so as to redirect the prevailing winds or forces away from the center of the tunnel and thereby concentrate the on coming air or water stream directly onto and through the horizontal blades.        The nose come contains hydraulically operated dampers that serve to pen or close off the prevailing winds so as to cease rotation of said machine.
