Patent CA-2498993-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOEVENAARS ANTHONY H
IPC: H02J3/01
Filed: 2005-03-01
Abstract: A harmonic mitigating device for connection between a power distribution system and the load uses a magnetic shunt to control the levels of magnetic coupling between different elements of the device while providing all windings on a single core. This allows for the reduction or elimination of the harmonic MMF induced in the line winding of the device, and as a result the reduction of harmonic currents flowing into the power supply system; and the reduction of the line winding inductance, which in turn reduces the voltage boost of the device under the no-load conditions, reduces the voltage drop at full load conditions and increases the stability of the drive. The invention serves to reduce ripple level in rectifier outputs and buffers transient overvoltages, and a single configuration works with any rectifier type, including SCR bridges.

Title: Inhibition of the expression of huntingtin gene
Inventor: KANAZAWA ICHIRO
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2004-04-30
Abstract: It is intended to provide a method of inhibiting the expression of a Huntington gene by using a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA); a Huntington gene expression inhibitor to be used in the inhibition of the expression of a Huntington gene as described above; and a drug for preventing and/or treating Huntington~s disease. Targeting to a specific mRNA sequence located in a region in the upstream vicinity of the CAG repeat of an HD gene of Huntington~s disease, the expression of the Huntington gene is inhibited with the use of a dsRNA that is homologous with this sequence. In this method, use can be effectively made of a short siRNA (short double-stranded RNA) of about 21 to 23 bp as the dsRNA homologous to the RNA-specific sequence located in a region in the upstream vicinity of the CAG repeat. Huntington~s disease can be prevented and/or treated by administering or transferring the above-described dsRNA into a living mammalian body or a vital cell as a Huntington gene expression inhibitor or a preventive and/or a remedy for Huntington~s disease.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of manufacturing RFID transponders for attachment to packages that will be in transit or to packages containing, for example, medicinal preparations, when information respecting the handling of the packages or the timing of removal of the medicinal preparations is required.  The method utilizes a continuous strip of adhesive backed material, such as an adhesive tape supplied on a roll. As the tape is removed from the roll an anti-adhesive material is applied to predetermined areas of the adhesive surface to render such areas non-adhesive. A conductive ink is coated to the non-adhesive areas to create spaced apart antenna pads. An RFID chip strap, carrying an RFID chip, and having corresponding spaced apart conductive pads is applied to the tape with the conductive pads thereof contacting the antenna pads. The strap is secured to the tape through contact with the adhesive surrounding the antenna pads. Completed transponders can be severed from the tape and applied via the adhesive thereon to the package as desired.
