Patent CA-2479674-A1 (CA)
Title: New therapeutic use of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide riboside (acadesine)
Inventor: CAMPAS MOYA CLARA
IPC: A61K31/4178
Filed: 2003-03-20
Abstract: Acadesine (also known as AICA riboside or AICAR) does not inhibit apoptosis in lymphocytes, as it might be expected, but it induces apoptosis in B cells from patients with B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders such as B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL), and Waldenstrom syndrome (WS). T cells are not affected.  This makes acadesine and its bioprecursors (eg. its mono-, di- and tri-5'--phosphates) useful as therapeutic agents for B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders in humans. The surprising feature that T cells are virtually not affected means that the side effect (immunosuppression) is minor, what represents a therapeutical advantage of acadesine over cladribine, fludarabine and other nucleosides known in the art.

Patent CA-2494606-A1 (CA)
Inventor: AUGUSTEEN JUSTIN
IPC: A61F9/00
Filed: 2005-01-17
Abstract: The tweezers are constructed of two arms that are joined at a hinge point at one end-total length is about 5 inches (but can be made longer or shorter-the function is the same). The other ends of the arms taper to rounded tips which are brought close together (by closing thumb and fingers on the tweezers arms) in order to grasp a contact lens. In the daily use of contact lenses, the tweezer used to dip and shake the contact lens in a liquid solution to thoroughly rinse the lens of dirt and contaminants. Afterwards the contact lens can be placed on the inserter tool (or a clean finger) to subsequently place in the eye. The tweezers are to never come in direct contact with a person's eyes. The inserter also is never to be placed directly in the eye unless there is a contact lens placed on it beforehand for insertion.     The inserter is about 3-4 inches; long with a flat base (so it can be rested on a table), a stem (so it can be easily grasped and held) and a 'top' where the contact lens is placed. The top of the inserter has a dimple (depression) with radius of curvature similar to a human eyeball. This allows the contact lens to properly sit on the surface prior to insertion in the eye.  The contact lens is held securely on by the surface tension that exists between the contact lens and top of the inserter. The contact lens will adhere to eye and detach from the inserter during placement due to the greater surface area of the eye relative to the inserter.

Title: Device and a method for advanced protection from short circuit current
Inventor: ADAMS MAX H
IPC: H01H83/14
Filed: 2005-06-28
Abstract: A two channel universal device for advanced protection from a short circuit current which evaluates a rate-of-change of current in a supply feeder and compares the current in the supply feeder and the current in load phases generating a differential signal in such a way that in normal conditions, when the load is running or starting, the differential signal is virtually zero. The differential signal and the rate-of-change of current in the supply feeder are compared with the settings of the protective device. If both the value of the rate-of-change of current and the value of the differential signal simultaneously exceed their settings, after an adjustable time delay, the device produces a signal to open the circuit. The existence of two conditions necessary to initiate the trip signal to cause the circuit to open ensures the reliable operation of this device and provides a feasible fast protection scheme.

Title: Compositions and methods for detecting a sequence mutation in the cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase gene associated with altered lignification in loblolly pine
Inventor: BROWN GARTH R
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2004-02-04
Abstract: Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is the most important commercial tree species in the USA harvested for pulp and solid wood products. Increasing the efficiency of chemical pulping may be achieved through the manipulation of genes involved in the lignin biosynthetic pathway. A null allele of cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) has been discovered in the loblolly pine clone 7-56 which displays altered lignin composition. During identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the cad gene, a two-base pair adenosine insertion located in exon five and unique to clone 7-56 was discovered. The sequence mutation causes a frame-shift predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. For routine detection of the mutation, a diagnostic assay was developed utilizing Template-directed Dye-terminator Incorporation and Fluorescence Polarization detection (FT-TDI).
