Patent CA-2550172-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KARLIS JAMES
IPC: B32B11/02
Filed: 2006-06-14
Abstract: A roofing membrane underlayment material includes a fibrous mat generally encapsulated within a non-adhesive asphalt coating, the resulting encapsulated mat having an adhesive asphalt layer applied to one surface thereof, typically the bottom surface. An acrylic, talc or granular coating is applied to the surface of the encapsulated mat that is not in contact with the adhesive asphalt layer. The non-adhesive asphalt coating is characterized in that it includes a high filler content made possible by the use of non-oxidize-:  flux asphalt to which has been added a small percentage of an asphalt additive such as radial or linear polymer or other elastomer. The resulting membrane, when applied to a roofing deck, provides a high traction surface that will not adhere to shingles and provides an effective waterproofing seal on the roofing deck and is flexible in both hot and cold environments.

Patent CA-2558219-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANDO SHINJI
IPC: A61K47/04
Filed: 2005-03-09
Abstract: Although bisacodyl has been coated with various coatings so as to be released in an area ranging from the lower part of the small intestine to the large intestine, it is less apt to sufficiently produce its effect because of its poor solubility. Furthermore, it has been necessary to incorporate the drug in a larger amount. No technique has been known in which bisacodyl and dioctylsodium sulfosuccinate are simultaneously released in an area ranging from the lower part of the small intestine to the large intestine. The solid pharmaceutical preparation is characterized in that a core particle comprising a sparingly water-soluble drug and dioctylsodium sulfosuccinate has been coated with an enteric coating so as to release the drug in an area ranging from the lower part of the small intestine to the large intestine. It can be an excellent medicine.

Title: Method, devices, system and software product for compressed-domain video editing
Inventor: CHEBIL FEHMI
IPC: G11B27/036
Filed: 2005-03-03
Abstract: A method and device for editing a media file comprising input video frames.  The editing device comprises a frame analyzer to determine whether the input video frames have the frame characteristics suitable for compressed domain editing or spatial domain editing. For those frames suitable for compressed domain editing, the frame analyzer provides frame data to a compressed domain processor so that video frame data can be modified in the compressed domain.  For those frames only suitable for spatial domain editing, the frame analyzer provides frame data to a decoder and then to a spatial domain processor for frame data modification. The modified data at different domains are combined and converted to file format by a file format composer. Moreover, a file format parser is used to separate audio data from video data so that audio data can also be modified, if so desired.
Patent CA-2560930-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PERRAULT MARK
IPC: A61K38/17
Filed: 2005-02-08
Abstract: Processes and apparati are provided for separating molecules of interest from a mixture containing them which comprises subjecting the mixture to an improved method of high performance tangential flow filtration (HPTFF). The HPTFF of the invention was used to clarify, and process various feedstreams for the removal of a molecule of interest based on both the size and charge of the molecule of interest. According to a preferred embodiment, a transgenic milk feedstream is stabilized and particulate matter such as fat, casein miscelles and bacteria are removed. The method of HPTFF used in the current invention utilizes optimized process parameters that include temperature, trans-membrane pressure, molecular charge, molecular size, crossflow velocity, and milk concentration. Cleaning and storage procedures were also developed to ensure long membrane life. An aseptic filtration step was also developed to remove any bacteria remaining in a clarified transgenic milk feedstream.
Patent CA-2561237-A1 (CA)
Title: Stent delivery system using a steerable guide wire
Inventor: FISCHELL ROBERT E
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 2006-09-28
Abstract: A thin-walled guide wire tube is fixedly and sealably attached to both a proximal section and a distal section of a balloon angioplasty catheter. A stent is co-axially mounted onto the inflatable balloon of the balloo n angioplasty catheter. Because the guide wire tube forms an inner liner for the balloon angioplasty catheter, the fluid inflation lumen of the catheter is sealed so the inflation liquid that pressurizes the balloon will not leak as it would be if there were no "inner liner" and the balloon angioplasty catheter were attached to the guide wire itself. By not having a traditional inner shaft through which a conventional guide wire slides, the deflated balloon on which the stent is mounted can have a reduced diameter.
