Patent CA-2335103-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CROWE ALLEN A
IPC: G07B17/00
Filed: 1998-10-30
Abstract: A payment system includes a label device (103), and a postal security device  (PSD) (130) which stores postal funds for dispensing that may be replenished  via electronic funds transfer. For example, the payment system performs functions other than just dispensing postal funds such dispensing lottery tickets. In the case of dispensing postal funds, the label device (103) is programmed to generate indicia (400) onto label stock (403) which serves as proof of postage after deducting the corresponding postage amount to be dispensed from the postal funds stored in the PSD (130). In the case of dispensing lottery tickets, the label device (103) is programmed to connect to a lottery server over a communications network and to transmit transaction data concerning the selected lottery numbers (1207), payment for the lottery  entry, etc. to the lottery server. Accordingly, the payment system deducts t he payment amount corresponding to the lottery entry from the postal funds stor ed in the PSD (130). In return the payment system receives, from the lottery server, data concerning indicium (1300). Label device (103) then uses the received data to print indicium (1300) on label stock (1303), thereby producing a lottery ticket.

Title: Use of histamine h2 agonists for the treatment of multiple sclerosis
Inventor: DELACK ELAINE A
IPC: A61K31/52
Filed: 1999-06-25
Abstract: Use of a histamine H2 mimicking substance for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. The histamine H2 mimicking agent is present in an amount which is effective to stimulate production of a cyclic AMP in the body. A phosphodiesterase inhibitor is used in conjunction with the histamine H2 mimicking agent to conserve the cyclic AMP which is thus produced. It is believed that the increased cyclic AMP levels serve to maintain the patient's myeline against self degeneration. The histamine H2 mimicking agent may be histamine phosphate and the phosphodiesterase inhibitor may be caffeine.  The histamine H2 mimicking agent and the phosphodiesterase inhibitor may be mixed in a gel and administered using a transdermal patch.

Abstract: The present invention is essentially a method and system for leaving and retrieving messages at specific coordinate way points within a commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) provider network. Users carry or transport interface devices for communicating over the network and are able to record and view messages at specific coordinate locations while traveling in the network. The location of the device is calculated by the device or by the network while the device is powered on and in within the physical boundaries of the network, or through a combination of both. Messages can be made available to network subscribers when their interface devices come within an area centered about a physical coordinate location. Personalized messages can also be left by subscribers at any coordinate point within the boundaries of the network. The invention can also be used to facilitate access of information about an asset when a technician comes within a physical proximity threshold relative to said asset.

Inventor: ANDERSON KEVIN R
IPC: F02M61/16
Filed: 2002-01-08
Abstract: Poppets for fuel injectors are provided with an improved sealing surface by making the poppet from a softer material than is known in the prior art. Instead of providing a Rockwell C hardness value of 50 or greater, as is known to those skilled in the art of poppet manufacture, the improved poppet is made of a softer material that allows the valve head of the poppet to wear in such a way that its shape conforms more accurately with a valve seat of the nozzle of a fuel injector. This also provides the beneficial result of improved salt water corrosion resistance. By using a softer metal to make the poppet, the improved sealing characteristic improves fuel efficiency of the engine and reduces emissions of undesirable compounds.
