IPC: A61K31/355
Filed: 1996-03-14
Abstract: Une composition pharmaceutique d'application topique est constituée d'au moins un lipide liquide, d'au moins un agent actif pharmaceutique qui soit soluble dans au moins un lipide liquide et qui puisse être résorbé par la peau, ainsi que d'un gel hydraté, principal constituant de la composition. Au moins un lipide et au moins un agent actif sont incorporés au gel et la composition est sensiblement exempte d'émulsifiants et de constituants solides, à l'exception des produits de gélification nécessaires à la formation du gel hydraté. Tous les agents actifs sont utilisés sous la forme de solutés, un agent actif étant cependant dissous dans un lipide liquide, et le lipide contenant cette substance active est incorporé comme phase interne dans le gel hydraté, constituant ainsi la phase externe. La composition est également sensiblement exempte d'agents tensio-actifs. Un procédé de production d'une telle composition pharmaceutique d'application topique prévoit qu'au moins un agent actif pouvant être résorbé par la peau et, de préférence, concentré, est dissous et qu'ensuite cette solution est incorporée comme phase interne dans un hydrogel, constituant ainsi la phase externe. Cet hydrogel est le principal constituant de la composition. La composition ainsi obtenue se caractérise par une forte stabilité et des propriétés galéniques favorables.

Title: Product and process of blanching nuts
Inventor: GEORGE DEWEY P
IPC: A23L25/00
Filed: 1995-02-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing the skins or hulls from nuts and other seeds, including those of legumes, grains, drupes, silques, achenes and the like involves wetting the seeds with an alkaline solution (10) and then with a peroxygen solution (12). The two substances react underneath the skin to liberate gas between the seed meat and the skin. The gas bubbles blister the skin, causing it to become loosened. Slight mechanical action is used to dislodge the blistered skins from the seed meats.

Patent CA-2224233-A1 (CA)
Title: A soil penetrating tool assembly
Inventor: YEOMANS ALLAN JAMES
IPC: A01B61/04
Filed: 1995-06-30
Abstract: A soil penetrating tool assembly (10) having a tool shank (18) which is pivotally mounted so as to clear obstructions in the ground. Movement of the shank away from its normal attitude is opposed by a hydraulic ram (22).     The force required to be exerted by the shank (18) against the opposing force of the ram (22) is initially high but is reduced upon a predetermined movement of the tool (18) and thus a predetermined retraction of the ram (22). This allows the tool (18) to more easily clear large obstructions without causing damage to the tool (18). Two alternative valving arrangements are disclosed; one internal of the ram (figures 4, 10), where a plug extending in the ram cylinder coacts with a sleeve in the ram plunger, and one external (figure II) comprising a cam acting on a valve member in a fluid supply line. Hydraulic circuit with pressure amplifier and ram recharge bleed check valve is also disclosed (figures 5-9).

Title: Audio label
Inventor: HORNSTEIN ROBERT C
IPC: G09F25/00
Filed: 1998-04-23
Abstract: An audio label comprising a circuit board substrate with a sound-generating microchip and a photovoltaic cell both attached to the substrate such that the microchip is electrically connected to the photovoltaic cell so that power is provided to the sound-generating microchip. A sound reproduction unit is also attached to the substrate and is connected to the sound-generating microchip so that the microchip communicates signals to the sound reproduction unit which are then converted by the sound reproduction unit to audible sounds. A system for audio label operation is also disclosed. The system includes a separate transmitter which transmits electromagnetic waves, such as light, infrared or radio waves to one or more audio labels which have electromagnetic wave receiving circuit elements, such as phototransistors disposed thereon. The transmitter thus sends wave signals to each label each of which then converts the wave signals to electric signals which each sound reproduction unit then converts to audible sounds.

Patent CA-2236943-A1 (CA)
Title: Storage and retrieval of large digital images
Inventor: BRADLEY JONATHAN N
IPC: G06T9/40
Filed: 1996-10-28
Abstract: Image compression and viewing are implemented. A DWT-based compression method uses a two-level memory computer. The viewing method selects image areas in compressed form at multiple resolutions. For compression, a plurality of discrete tile image subsets (118) is defined which form the complete image. Seamless wavelet--based image compression occurs by in-putting the tiles in a selected sequence to a DWT (120) routine. The resulting DWT coefficients are stored in a first primary memory and periodically are compressed (128) and stored in a secondary memory (124). The sequence of DWT operations on the tiles effectively calculates a seamless DWT of the image. Data retrieval occurs by specifying a resolution and a region of the image for display (146). The subset of stored DWT coefficients corresponding to each requested scene is determined and then decompressed for input to an inverse DWT (164) to form the display (166). Interaction (168) may occur with a pointing device on previous retrieved displays.

Abstract: There is provided an optically pumped laser apparatus 10 which includes a heat conductive assembly 14 which is affixed to a solidstate yag laser crystal medium for generating a laser beam 49 within the laser crystal medium 12. The heat conductive assembly 14 comprises a heat diffusing element 32 which serves to diffuse the heat that is generated through the cooling surfaces 24 and 26. It includes a heat discharging structure 37 for removing the heat from the system. The efficiency of the laser system is improved by the geometry of pumping the crystal laser medium along the paths shown by the arrow 40 and to directing heat removed by the heat conductive assembly along the arrows 42, which paths are normal to one another and which provide an effective geometry that minimizes temperature variations within the laser crystal 12 to provide a low value for the OPD of the system. The heat conductive assembly 14 may include a liquid type heat exchanger 43, or heat pipes 33 to facilitate removal of the heat from the diffuser 32.
