Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode de traitement des aphtes au moyen de patchs oraux permettant de guérir et de soulager la douleur rapidement. Si certains médicaments sont appliqués sur un aphte au moyen d'un patch oral qui restreint l'écoulement local de salive et qui délivre le médicament durant au moins 30 minutes, les patchs étant utilisés durant au moins deux heures par jour, la méthode réduit le temps de guérison des aphtes des 10 à 14 jours classiques à 2 jours. La méthode de l'invention peut être utilisée avec divers agents antimicrobiens qui accélèrent la guérison des aphtes, notamment la pénicilline et l'amoxicilline. Elle peut également être utilisée avec de l'amlexanoxe et de l'extrait de réglisse déglycyrrhiziné (DGL) qui fonctionnent grâce à une méthode inconnue. Lorsqu'elle est utilisée avec du DGL, la méthode permet également de soulager rapidement la douleur d'un aphte et, si elle est utilisée avant le début d'un repas, elle soulage la douleur durant tout le repas. L'invention concerne également un patch oral soluble avec du DGL.

Title: Mixed mode microfluidic systems abstract of the disclosure
Inventor: SPAID MICHAEL
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2003-03-04
Abstract: Methods and systems that employ hybrid fluid flow profiles for optimized movement of materials through channel networks. These systems employ hybrid pressure-based and electrokinetic based flow systems for moving materials through interconnected channel networks while maintaining interconnection among the various channel segments. In particular, the invention is generally directed to channel networks where flow in a first channel segment is driven by pressure flow with its consequent parabolic flow profile, while flow in an interconnected channel segment is dominated by electrokinetic flow with its consequent plug flow profile. The invention also provides channel networks wherein fluid flow in channel segments is driven by both pressure and electric field and the multiple species contained in a fluid plug are separated by altering the applied pressure and electric fields in the various channel segments of the channel networks.

Title: Sterilization, stabilization and preservation of functional biologics
Inventor: MANDERS ERNEST K
IPC: C12N5/079
Filed: 2003-06-06
Abstract: Methods are disclosed for the sterilization of functioning biological materials, biochemical entities and biologically active molecules and for their preservation for storage at room temperature. Biological contaminants are significantly reduced in titer or eliminated while maintaining preservation of functional integrity of sterilized and stabilized products derived from the present methods. These materials may be mainly structural i n function, such as bone, or may demonstrate active molecular function, as in the case of hemoglobin and antibodies. Treatments for stabilizing the sterilized biologics include alteration of material temperature, control of radiation dose rate, optimization of irradiation time, control of oxygen content, the use of stabilizers, specification of pH, inclusion of particula r solvents, and alteration of the type of radiation applied. A sterilized and stabilized biological product so treated can be stored at room temperature, thereby making it much more available and easier to use versus, lyophilized, conventional frozen or cold stored biologics.

Title: Antenne satellite et terrestre combinee
Inventor: HELSTROM TERRY C
IPC: H01Q5/40

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'antenne combinée utilisé à la fois pour des véhicules et des structures, une antenne satellite étant placée de façon concentrique autour d'une antenne pylône classique pouvant être utilisée à la fois pour une radio FM classique et pour une retransmission terrestre des signaux de radiodiffusion satellite. Mis en oeuvre dans un véhicule, le système d'antenne combinée est conçu de manière à utiliser uniquement le trou créé lors du procédé de fabrication du véhicule, supprimant ainsi la nécessité de percer un second trou pour l'antenne satellite, ce qui réduit la détérioration de la carrosserie du véhicule. En outre, étant donné que le système d'antenne combinée peut être placé de manière avantageuse, un câble RF plus court connectant l'antenne à un boîtier récepteur peut être implémenté, tel n'est pas le cas pour une antenne satellite située sur une fenêtre ou le toit d'un véhicule. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'antenne satellite peut être montée soit sur une antenne terrestre fixe soit sur une antenne terrestre escamotable, ce qui permet de placer l'antenne satellite plus haut par rapport à des obstacles sur le véhicule ou la structure.
