Patent CA-2645771-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PARSCHE FRANCIS E
IPC: H01F7/02
Filed: 2008-12-04
Abstract: The radio frequency (RF) inductor includes a core being electrically non-conductive and ferrimagnetic, and having a toroidal shape, and a wire coil thereupon. At least one permanent magnet body is at a fixed position within the interior of the core, and an electrically conductive RF shielding layer is on the at least one permanent magnet body. The core may be ferrite for example. The electrically conductive RF shielding layer may be a conductive plating layer or a metal foil surrounding the permanent magnet body, for example. A magnetic field from the permanent magnet is applied to the inductor core to reduce losses, and the permanent magnet may be enclosed within the conductive shield to keep RF fields out. The inductor may be made small and have increased Q and resulting efficiency. The RF inductor may be applicable to RF communication circuits, for example, as an antenna coupler.
Patent CA-2649025-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HASHIBA TOMOHIKO
IPC: A61K8/55
Filed: 2007-04-11
Abstract: An industrially useful process for producing a liposome dispersion. In the step of liposome formation through the dispersion of a membrane substance in an aqueous medium, a liquid obtained by dissolving or dispersing the membrane substance and the aqueous medium are ejected respectively through (161a) and (161b) and, simultaneously therewith, these ejection flows are pulverized en bloc into fine droplets with a high-speed air flow ejected through a liquid ejection opening (162). The resultant droplets are caused to collide against a flow check object (190) to cause reaggregation and thereby produce the target dispersion. This production process facilitates solvent removal and does not necessitate a defoaming operation. Thus, a liposome dispersion can be efficiently prepared.

Title: Turbocharger performance qualification method and apparatus
Inventor: WOOD TERRY G
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 2007-06-18
Abstract: A method for qualifying turbocharger performance includes the step of operating a turbocharger at a single test condition (402). A set of data may be acquired from a set of operating parameters of the turbocharger (404) operating at the test condition. The set of data acquired may be compared to a set of operating ranges (406) that are deemed acceptable, and a determination may be made as to whether the set of data falls within the acceptable operating ranges (408). Performance of the turbocharger may then be qualified (412, 414) based on an outcome of the determination (410).
Patent CA-2657310-A1 (CA)
Title: Mimotope receptors and inhibitors for platelet-platelet and platelet-endothelium interactions
Inventor: DEL CARPIO MUNOZ CARLOS A
IPC: A61K35/14
Filed: 2006-10-17
Abstract: Mimotope receptors and inhibitors employ peptide mimics that mimic the shape and function of natural receptors and ligands, thus providing synthetic binding sites for ligands and receptors. Receptor mimics can be attached to carriers, such as liposomes, to act as synthetic platelets, for example, by providing binding sites for binding to other (natural or synthetic) platelets or to the endothelium. Synthetic platelets would have virtually limitless shelf life and would not require disease screening prior to transfusion, thereby providing a solution to the perpetual platelet shortages, as well as the safety and storage issues associated with natural blood platelets. Mimotope inhibitors (either free- molecule receptors or ligands) can act as antithrombotics by inhibiting platelet-platelet or platelet-endothelium interactions. Ligand mimics are preferably D-peptides that resist proteolytic degradation. Furthermore, these ligand mimics can also be attached to carriers for resisting excretion, thus forming the new class of antithrombotic drugs.
