Title: Synthesis of 4-alkoxy-n-acetylneuraminic acid
Inventor: LIAV AVRAHAM
IPC: C07H15/04
Filed: 1995-07-21
Abstract: This invention relates to an improved process for the synthesis of 4-alkoxy-N-acetylneuraminic acids. According to the process of the invention, Nacetylneuraminic acid is first alkylated at C-1 and C-2, and then the vicinal hydroxyl groups at C-8 and C-9 are protected through the formation of a ketal. The resulting protected alkyl ester alkyl ketoside is then alkylated at the C4 position whereby the hydrogen of the C-4 hydroxyl group is replaced with an alkyl group to form an alkoxy group. Deprotection is accomplished through the removal of the ketal group at C-8 and C-9 and removal of the alkyl groups at C1 and C-2, thereby producing the 4-alkoxy-N-acetylneuraminic acid.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés de triage pour les modulateurs de biomolécules, qui consistent à comparer les effets d'un modulateur putatif sur un détecteur phénotypique dans un ou plusieurs types de cellules à croissance conditionnelle comportant des molécules modifiées, d'une part, et les effets produits sur un tel détecteur dans un type de cellules ou les biomolécules en question sont normales. Les biomolécules modifiées ou les trajets biochimiques associés à ces biomolécules produisent des effets différenciés et/ou des effets phénotypiques susceptibles d'être reproduits essentiellement dans les cellules normales par les effets du modulateur. On décrit également des procédés de triage pour les modulateurs et des procédés de détermination et d'évaluation de ces modulateurs, qui consistent à comparer les effets du modulateur sur une pluralité de cellules ayant différentes biomolécules modifiées et/ou les effets du modulateur sur une pluralité de détecteurs phénotypiques différents.

Patent CA-2213084-A1 (CA)
Title: Tub cushion
Inventor: KVALVIK PRERNA J
IPC: A47K3/12
Filed: 1997-10-02
Abstract: A bathtub cushion is formed of a resilient material, such as a closed cell plastic foam.  The cushion covers the interior of the bottom of the tub, extending upwardly to cover the interior walls of the tub and the edges or rim of the tub.  The cushion may be formed as a sheet of uniform thickness, on the order of one to two inches thick, or may alternatively be formed with a thinner bottom portion and thicker upper walls and upper edge, to better cushion any impact of a bather who might slip in the tub.  The cushion is removably secured within the tub by suction cups disposed about the entire tub contact surface of the cushion, and includes drainage grooves formed in the upper surface of the bottom portion to facilitate drainage.   The cushion may also include a head rest, which may include a radio, cassette deck, or other audio system therein, as desired.  The cushion may be formed to fit within a conventional generally rectangular or oval bathtub, and may also be configured to fit within a hot tub having a round or other shape. The present cushion adds a significant measure of safety for a bather, with its high friction surface to reduce slippage and the thickly cushioned upper edge to reduce the likelihood of injury in the event of a fall.  A significant increase in comfort is also provided by the padding and optional headrest and audio system.

Title: Low base number sulphonates
Inventor: MOULIN DOMINIQUE
IPC: C07C309/31
Filed: 1996-02-27
Abstract: Low base number (LBN) sulphonates derived from high molecular weight sulphonic acids have low viscosity, are chloride free and are not skin sensitisers. In their preparation, neutralisation of high molecular weight sulphonic acids or partially neutralised soaps of high molecular weight sulphonic acids is completed by the use of a high base number sulphonate in conjunction with a carboxylic acid. The process does not require the use of chloride containing promoters and produces low chloride products which do not skin on exposure to air.

Title: Elongate composite member having a longitudinally varying cross-sectional shape, as well as method of, and apparatus for manufacturing the same
Inventor: TAMURA TATSUYA
IPC: B29C48/12
Filed: 1997-01-30
Abstract: An elongate composite member (1) suitable for a vehicle ornamental member comprises an elongate shaped body (2) having a common cross-section part (2b) with a longitudinally constant cross-sectional shape, and a varying cross-section part (2a) with a longitudinally varying cross-sectional shape. A resin part (3) is formed by extrusion molding along the varying cross-section part (2a) to continuously extend in the longitudinal direction, thereby realizing an excellent overall appearance. Such elongate composite members (1) can be readily and continuously manufactured basically with an extrusion molding process, wherein the elongate shaped body (2) is continuously and longitudinally fed into an extrusion die assembly (26) comprising a stationary die (31) and the movable die (32), through which the common cross-section part (2b) and the varying cross-section part (2a) are respectively passed in the longitudinal direction. The movable die (32) is moved in a direction intersecting the passing direction of the elongate shaped body (2) , in which the varying cross-section part (2a) varies during its passage in the longitudinal direction. At the same time, a resin is extruded from an extrusion orifice in the movable die, so that the elongate shaped body (2) is formed with the resin part (3) extending continuously in the longitudinal direction.

IPC: F16K47/08
Filed: 1996-04-11
Abstract: Pressure balancing foam valve (50) includes a body (52) having an inlet (54) at one end and an outlet (58) at an opposite end, and having an annular passage (62) therethrough. A first stage pressure regulating assembly (86) is disposed within the annular passage of the valve and includes a shaft (90) and a one-piece pressure disc (88) which is urged into a seated position against end portion (70) and the inlet (54) by spring (112) interposed between pressure disc (88) and a second end (11) of the shaft. The spring (112) holds pressure disc (88) during low pressure conditions to prevent flow and opens with increasing pressure to permit flow through the valve. A second stage pressure regulator is a venturi-shaped annular passage (138) through a wall portion of the outlet (58). A high pressure inlet (54) and foam outlet ports (154) are connected to a foam delivery system. The pressure disc (88) and venturi (138) together provide a differential pressure within the valve proportional to changing flow rate and pressure.

Title: Method and apparatus for automatically generating a speech recognition vocabulary from a white pages listing
Inventor: GUPTA VISHWA
IPC: G10L15/18
Filed: 1997-10-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for automatically generating a speech recognition vocabulary for a speech recognition system from a listing that contains a number of entries, each entry containing a multi-word identification data that distinguishes that entry from other entries in the list. The method comprises the steps of creating for each entry in the listing a plurality of orthographies in the speech recognition vocabulary that are formed by combining selected words from the entry. The words combination is effected by applying a heuristics model that mimics the way users formulate requests to the automated directory assistance system. The method is particularly useful for generating speech recognition vocabularies for automated directory assistance systems.
