Patent CA-2396851-C (CA)
Inventor: SUMMERTON JAMES
IPC: A61M1/16
Filed: 2001-01-11
Granted: 2009-05-12
Abstract: A dual-stage filtration system and methods for using the same include first and second filtration cartridges (122, 138) particularly suited for hemodiafiltration and/or hemodialysis. As fluid enters the first filtration cartridge (122), the hydrogen ion concentration (pH) is reduced by exposing it to an acidic solution such as citric acid across a filter membrane (124). This stage allows for improved removal of certain toxins in the fluid, such as protein-bound substances that disassociate more readily from proteins at a lower pH. As the filtered fluid enters the second filtration cartridge (138), the pH of the fluid is restored to normal levels prior to infusion to a patient. <IMG>

Granted: 2005-09-20
Abstract: A device for monitoring power conditions in the power leads of a communication network or power distribution bus includes a microprocessor (54) which measures the voltage on the power leads and computes a filtered bus voltage, Vbus, and a time-averaged bus voltage, Vave. From these, the microprocessor determines whether overvoltage, undervoltage or ripple conditions exist to actuate associated visual indicator intermittently (LEDs 57, 58, 59), or surge, brownout or transient conditions to actuate the associated indicators (LEDs 57, 58, 59) constantly for their associated slot times in a display cycle. The device may be in the form of a compatible terminator or a Tee for the network or power bus.

Granted: 2012-03-27
Abstract: A bipolar electrosurgical instrument having a pair of relatively moveable jaws, each of which includes a tissue contacting surface. The tissue contacting surfaces of the jaws are in face-to-face relation with one another, and adjacent each of the tissue contacting surfaces are first and second spaced-apart electrodes that are adapted for connection to the opposite terminals of a bipolar RF generator so as to generator a current flow therebetween. The first and second electrodes of one jaw are in offset opposed relation, respectively, with the first and second electrodes of the other jaw. The tissue contacting surfaces are disposed between the electrodes on each jaw, and the first opposed electrodes of each jaw are connectable to one terminal of the bipolar RF generator, while the second opposed electrodes of each jaw are connectable to the other terminal of the bipolar RF generator. A cutting portion is provided between the jaws. The cutting portion is moveable to provide the instrument with a scissors-like capability or a grasper-like capability, depending on the position of the cutting portion.

Granted: 2011-01-25
Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for the modulated release of one or more proteins or peptides. The composition is comprised of a biocompatible polymeric matrix, a protein and/or peptide, and a sparingly water-soluble or essentially insoluble particle. The protein is deposited by adsorption or some other mechanism onto the sparingly water-soluble biocompatible particle wherein the protein-particle combination is dispersed within the polymeric matrix. The deposition of the protein onto the particle acts to modulate the release of the protein or peptide from dosage forms including long-acting dosage systems.

Abstract: A densifying agent is applied to fibers in order to improve the densification properties of the fibers. The fibers have hydrogen bonding functional groups.  The densifying agent is denser than the fibers to which the densifying agent is applied. The densifying agent can be organic or inorganic. The improved densification properties are observed without the presence of particles bound to the fibers or in the presence of particles that are not bound to the fibers. Softening agents can also be applied to the fibers in order to soften the fibers and articles including such fibers. Softening agents may be selected from the group of densifying agents.

Abstract: A positioning assembly comprising at least two positioning elements and having an uppermost surface that acts as a seat for a free-standing object. The elements are generally wedge-shaped, have upper and lower surfaces at an angle to one another, are adapted to be placed one on the other and can be rotated relative to one another in order to vary the angle between the uppermost and lowermost surfaces of the assembly. No fastening means is required for fixing the elements or the free- standing object to each other. Angular orientation of the uppermost surface to the lowermost surface can range from parallel to 50 degrees. The elements may have co- operating guiding means to aid in rotating the elements relative to one another and to resist shifting. In addition, the surfaces of the elements may be adapted with concave or cavity portions in order to allow better seating on a surface.

Title: Antisense insulin-like growth factor binding protein (igfbp)-2 oligodeoxynucleotides for prostate and other endocrine tumor therapy
Inventor: GLEAVE MARTIN
IPC: A61P35/00
Filed: 2001-09-13
Granted: 2012-03-27
Abstract: Compositions and a method are provided for the treatment of prostate and other endocrine tumors in mammals, including humans, by administration of an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) which is complementary to a portion of the gene encoding IGFBP-2. Using the human prostate cancer LNCaP tumor model in vitro andin vivo, the administration of such an ODN was shown to reduce proliferation of tumor cells, and also to delay the progression to androgen independence. Thus, treatment of prostate and other hormone-regulated cancer in mammals, including humans, and delay of the progression of prostate tumors to androgen independence is accomplished by administering to the mammal a therapeutically effectie amount of an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide which is complementary to a portion of the nucleic acid sequence encoding IGFBP-2 and which reduces the amount of IGFBP-2 in the treated cells.

Title: Superconducting cable and superconducting cable line
Inventor: OHMATSU KAZUYA
IPC: H02H9/02
Filed: 2002-10-10
Granted: 2012-07-10
Abstract: A superconducting cable includes a first conductor layer formed of superconducting wires, and an insulating layer formed at the outer periphery of the first conductor layer. The first conductor layer is an assembly of a plurality of superconducting wires obtained by forming an RE based superconductor layer on a metal substrate. The current is limited by an electrical resistance generated when the current of the first conductor layer exceeds the critical current, thereby preventing the superconducting cable from being damaged. A superconducting cable line is formed of a base and a current limiter, which is formed by using the above-described superconducting cable. Accordingly, when a current exceeding the rated current of the base flows, it can be damped.
