Inventor: VEERASAMY VIJAYEN S
IPC: C03C17/36
Filed: 2000-11-15
Abstract: A substrate is coated with a hydrophobic coating that includes highly tetrahedral amorphous carbon that is a form of diamond-like carbon (DLC). In certain embodiments, the coating is deposited on the substrate in a manner to increase its hydrophobicity (e.g. so that the coating has an initial contact angle .theta. of at least about 100 degrees; and/or a surface energy of no more than about 20.2 mN/m). In certain embodiments, the coating is deposited in a manner such that it has an average hardness of at least about GPa, more preferably from about 20-80 GPa.

Title: Antibiotics as a treatment for dementia
Inventor: MOLLOY DAVID WILLIAM
IPC: A61K31/65
Filed: 2002-07-11
Abstract: We have shown in a double blind placebo controlled study over one a one year period that treatment with the antibiotics rifampicin and doxycycline for three months significantly reduced the rate of cognitive decline in treated subjects compared to controls at one year. Subjects were treated for three months and the followed for one year. We found that the subjects treated with the antibiotics had a significant decline in their rate of progression at six months and this was also present at one year.        This data suggests that antibiotics slowed the rate of progress of these subjects with dementia. This effect suggests that some antibiotics have a disease-modifying effect on dementia and/or Alzheimer's disease. It is possibly that this treatment could be used now as a preventive treatment, as a disease modifying treatment and/or as a symptomatic treatment of dementia and/or Alzheimer's disease. These drugs either alone or in  combination may also prevent the conversion of subjects with Mild Cognitive Impairment to Alzheimer's disease. Mild Cognitive Impairment is a prodrome of dementia and people with this condition art ae greater risk of developing Alzheimer's than the general population. Treatment with antibiotics may also slow the rate of conversion to Alzheimer's and/or slow their rate of decline. In this way antibiotics may actually be used to prevent Alzheimer's and/or dementia.

Patent CA-2401325-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BROKER JOHN F
IPC: D06F34/16
Filed: 2002-09-05
Abstract: An unbalance detection and control system senses an out-of-balance condition developed during a plaster speed portion of spin cycle in a washing machine, particularly a horizontal axis washing machine, through fluctuations in command signals sent from a main controller to maintain a spinning basket or tub of the washing machine at plaster speed. Preferably, the controller sends a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal to a drive controller which, in turn, regulates a motor used to spin the tub. A feedback loop is employed to reflect an actual operational state achieved by the spinning tub, which may warrant a change in the command signal. Excessive fluctuations in the command signals indicate a need to redistribute the load of clothes in the tub.
Patent CA-2402125-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TIRSCHLER EHRENFRIED ALBERT
IPC: B02C25/00
Filed: 2002-09-17
Abstract: An angle-based method and device to protect a grinding mill used for grinding material therein by rotating the drum so that the material adheres to the drum inner surface and rises therewith over a cascading angle from a gravity-balanced condition prior to detach by gravity from the inner surface and tumble into a cascading flow. The method is used for protecting the grinding mill from damages potentially resulting from the material agglomerating into a generally solidified lumped volume that could adhere to the inner surface and rotate with the latter more than the cascading angle to a fall angle wherein the lumped volume may detach from the drum inner surface and impact an impact position within the drum, The method includes the steps of assessing for the presence of material adhering to the inner surface upon rotation of the drum by more than the cascading angle; and initiating an action to stop the rotation of the drum upon determination of material adhering to the inner surface upon rotation of the drum beyond the cascading angle.
