Patent CA-2562606-A1 (CA)
Title: Liquids containing suspended glass particles
Inventor: ROSER BRUCE JOSEPH
IPC: A61K9/10
Filed: 2005-04-13
Abstract: Present proposals to use perfluorocarbons as a medium to suspend glass particles presents the problem of aggregation of the particles within the suspending medium. Overcoming this problem requires careful particle sizing and density matching techniques. An additional disadvantage of the large scale use of perfluorocarbons is their contribution to global warming. The inventor has realised that by replacing perfluorocarbons with the more environmentally friendly fluorinated ethers such as hydrofluoroethers or hydrofluoropolyethers a long lasting suspension of glass particles can be achieved without the need for such rigorous particle sizing or density matching processes.

Title: Managing data space on a record carrier
Inventor: IJTSMA POPE
IPC: G11B27/034
Filed: 2005-07-19
Abstract: A recording system records blocks of information on a record carrier according to a file management system. Data space on a partly and fragmented recorded record carrier (60-68) is managed as follows. The information includes a first type of information, such as video, and a second type, such a general purpose data. The first type has extent allocation requirements that include requiring an extent to accommodate a multitude of information blocks in a consecutive range of addresses and the extent to have at least a predetermined extent size. Data space is managed by selecting at least one partly recorded data area (67,63,68) of at least the extent size which data area contains information blocks (63) at recorded addresses, and subsequently creating a free data area (74) on the record carrier by moving the information blocks from the recorded addresses in the partly recorded data area to different addresses (73) outside the free data area (74) and correspondingly adapting the file management data.
