Title: Gel-containing rubber compounds for tyre components subjected to dynamic stress
Inventor: OBRECHT WERNER
IPC: B60C17/00
Filed: 2001-04-25
Abstract: The invention concerns rubber compounds consisting of at least one double bond-containing rubber and additions of polybutadiene rubber particles having a glass transition temperature <-60°C together with vulcanisates and rubber mouldings manufactured therefrom.      The rubber compounds according to the invention are characterised in the uncrosslinked state by good processability and adequate scorch resistance and in the vulcanised state by high Shore A hardness, high impact resistance, low hysteresis losses and low heating-up under dynamic stress, together with a low specific density. The vulcanisates are particularly suitable for the manufacture of tyre components for which low heating-up under dynamic stress is required, e.g. for tyre bead and apex compounds, subtread compounds, tyre carcasses and for tyre sidewalls. The compounds are particularly suitable for the manufacture of reinforced sidewalls for tyres with emergency running properties (inserts for run-flat tyres).

Patent CA-2351891-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROTMAN M BORIS
IPC: C12Q1/02
Filed: 1999-11-16
Abstract: On décrit un système d'analyse qui permet de détecter et d'identifier rapidement différents analytes directement à partir d'un échantillon test. Dans ce système on mélange une matière test avec une source germinogénique et des spores dépourvues d'enzyme, on laisse reposer le mélange pendant une durée telle que s'effectue la germination des spores induite par les analytes et que reprenne ensuite l'activité de novo d'une enzyme capable de produire un germinant en présence de la source germinogénique et on détecte la présence d'un produit résultant de la germination. Le germinant qui est formé favorise une autre germination des spores en association avec une nouvelle synthèse ou activation enzymatique additionnelle simultanée qui produit une réaction en cascade de germination indépendante de l'analyte après laquelle un produit résultant de la germination peut facilement être détecté. Cette technique est particulièrement efficace pour effectuer des milliers de dosages en parallèle dans un réseau de puits microscopiques.

Title: Method for producing medicaments from plant extracts, in a solid form of administration
Inventor: MAIDONIS PANAGIOTIS
IPC: A61K9/20
Filed: 1999-11-24
Abstract: A dry extract is reduced in volume by compacting to produce a solid form of pharmaceutical such as a tablet or capsule containing plant extracts. The particles of compacted matter are subsequently screened to a uniform grain size, masked with titanium dioxide, talc, and highly dispersed silicon dioxide in a first mixing process, and treated with additional adjuvants in two more mixing steps.     The masked compacted matter has the flowability required for making tablets and is protected against moisture absorption. The extract portion is a minimum of 65 percent by weight, which allows for producing relatively small tablets that have low disintegration times due to masking.

IPC: C12R1/91
Filed: 1999-12-08
Abstract: This invention describes a protein-free production process for proteins having factor VIII procoagulant activity.    Generally, the process includes the derivation of stable human cell clones with high productivity for B-domain deleted Factor VIII, and (2) the adaptation of cells to grow in a medium free of plasma-derived proteins. More specifically, the process includes transfecting human cells with a vector, such as in the figure, comprising a selectable marker and a sequence coding for the protein having factor VIII  procoagulant activity, selecting cells with a selection agent, and isolating clones expressing high levels of the protein having factor VIII procoagulant activity.

Title: Matrix improvements to lossless encoding and decoding
Inventor: CRAVEN PETER GRAHAM
IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 2000-04-07
Abstract: A lossless encoder and decoder are provided for transmitting a multichannel signal on a medium such as DVD-Audio. The encoder accepts additionally a downmix specification and splits the encoded stream into two substreams, suc h that a two-channel decoder of meagre computational power can implement the downmix specification by decoding one substream, while a multichannel decode r can decode the original multichannel signal losslessly using both substreams . Further features provide for efficient implementation on 24-bit processors, for confirmation of lossless reproduction to the user, and for benign behaviour in the case of downmix specifications that result in overload. The  principle is also extended to mixed-rate signals, where for example some inp ut channels are sampled at 48kHz and some are sampled at 96kHz.

Abstract: Conjugates of a hydrophobic moiety, such as a lipid, linked through a cleavable dithiobenzyl linkage to a therapeutic agent are described. The dithiobenzyl linkage is susceptible to cleavage by mild thiolysis, resulting in release of the therapeutic agent in its original form. The linkage is stable under nonreducing conditions. The conjugate can be incorporated into liposomes for administration in vivo and release of the therapeutic agent in response to endogeneous in vivo reducing conditions or in response to administration of an exogeneous reducing agent.

Title: System and method for edge of coverage detection in a wireless communication device
Inventor: USMANI FARRUKH
IPC: H04W88/06
Filed: 2000-07-06
Abstract: A method to enhance performance of a dual-mode or dual-band mobile phone includes, after the phone has initially connected to a CDMA wireless network , monitoring (304) a level of total power received by the phone. This power level is compared (304) to a preset threshold level (C). If the power level remains below the threshold level for over two seconds (308, 312), the dual- mode or dual-band phone switches (314) to an AMPS or other network retrieved  from the preferred roaming list that is stored in the phone. If the power level is above the threshold, the phone moves into the idle state (402). Onc e in the idle state, both the pilot strength and Received Signal Strength Indication are monitored (404). If both of these levels are below respective  thresholds for over eight seconds (408, 412), the phone switches (414) to another network stored in the preferred roaming list. If the mobile phone is  not a dual-mode or dual-band phone, the mobile phone can perform similar measurements and switch between service provider systems compatible with the  mobile phone.

IPC: C08F8/44
Filed: 2000-08-09
Abstract: Compositions and textile sizes based on those compositions, which are particular poly(vinyl alcohol) copolymer ionomers, as well as blends of those ionomers with other sizing polymers are described. A process to prepare the ionomers is described. The compositions are poly(vinyl alcohol) copolymers which have carboxylic acid ionomer comonomer units. Sizes based on these ionomers are aqueous solutions of the ionomers or solutions of blends of them with other poly(vinyl alcohol) polymers which are not ionomeric, or solution/suspensions of the ionomers with various starches, or both. Desizing in either water or caustic solutions is generally far superior to comparable polymer blends which contain no poly(vinyl alcohol) copolymer ionomer.
