Patent CA-2524491-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PERCEC VIRGIL
IPC: C08F4/00
Filed: 2004-05-06
Abstract: The inventive subject matter relates to novel synthetic processes which use a multifunctional compound (the "TERMINI compound") having a masked or protected functional group, wherein the TERMINI compound is capable of quantitatively and irreversibly interrupting a living polymerization or a chain organic reaction. After deprotection or demasking of the functional group of the TERMINI compound, the same living polymerization or organic reaction resumes with 100 % efficiency, or a different living polymerization or organic reaction resumes with 100 % chemoselectivity, respectively. Once incorporated into a growing molecule, the TERMINI compound generates a branching point upon resumption of the polymerization or reaction.
Patent CA-2524995-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHUNG KENG H
IPC: C10C3/08
Filed: 2005-10-31
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une méthode de séparation et un système dans lequel on emploie la granulation de résidus d'asphalte de post-extraction pour obtenir une séparation prononcée du pétrole lourd. Un solvant à dispersion est introduit dans la phase d'asphalte après la séparation par extraction de solvant et la phase asphalte subit un changement de phase rapide dans un séparateur gaz-solide et est dispersé en particules solides alors que le solvant passe à l'état gazeux, ce qui produit une séparation à basse température de l'asphalte et du solvant, les particules d'asphalte étant de taille réglable. La méthode de séparation décrite dans la présente invention comprend aussi une séparation à trois étages de la charge de pétrole lourd, dans laquelle la phase de pétrole désasphalté séparé du pétrole lourd est traitée à l'aide d'un solvant supercritique, ce qui entraîne une autre séparation de la portion résineuse du pétrole désasphalté, de manière à optimiser le rendement et la qualité du pétrole désasphalté. Les procédés et les systèmes de cette invention font appel à un séparateur gaz-solide à pression atmosphérique et à basse température plutôt qu'à un four à pression et à température élevées et ne nécessitent pas d'équipement d'échange de chaleur ou de préchauffage de la charge à l'entrée de la colonne de séparation de la résine, ce qui simplifie le déroulement du procédé et réduit les coûts d'investissement.

Title: Use of genetic polymorphisms that associate with efficacy of treatment of inflammatory disease
Inventor: MCCULLOUGH KAREN
IPC: A61K49/00
Filed: 2004-10-05
Abstract: The MHC III region of chromosome 6p21.3 harbors a DNA sequence, most likely within the TNF or LTA gene, which influences response to pimecrolimus for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. Accordingly, genetic polymorphisms in the TNF  andLTA genes are useful as biomarkers of the efficacy of pimecrolimus treatment of inflammatory disease. By contrast, response to tacrolimus appears to be influenced by other biological pathways.
