Patent CA-2104099-A1 (CA)
Title: Peptide inhibitors of inflammation mediated by selectins
Inventor: HEAVNER GEORGE A
IPC: C07K14/705
Filed: 1992-12-17
Abstract: PEPTIDE INHIBITORS OF INFLAMMATION         MEDIATED BY SELECTINS               Abstract of the Invention Peptides derived from three regions of the lectin domain of GMP-140 (P-selectin) and the related selectins, ELAM-1 (E-selectin) and the lymphocyte homing receptor (L-selectin), have been found to inhibit neutrophil adhesion to GMP-140. These and additional peptides have been synthesized, having as their core region portions of the 74-76 amino acid sequence of GMP-140, with residue 1 defined as the N-terminus of the mature protein after the cleavage of the signal peptide.  Examples demonstrate the inhibition of the binding of neutrophils to GMP-140 of peptides in concentrations ranging from 30 to 1500 µmol.  It has been found that alterations within the core sequence, as well as N-terminal and C-terminal flanking regions, do not result in loss of biological activity.  The peptides are useful as diagnostics and, in combination with a suitable pharmaceutical carrier, for clinical applications in the modulation or inhibition of coagulation processes or inflammatory processes.

Title: Apparatus for mixing a suspension of cellulosic fibrous material and fluid
Inventor: DAHLIOEF HAKAN
IPC: B01F5/04
Filed: 1992-01-30
Abstract: An apparatus for mixing pulp and fluid is described, the apparatus comprises a housing (70) with a centre line (11) and inlet (71) and outlet (72) for the pulp; inlet means (8) for the supply of fluid; and two wall means (1, 2) arranged in the housing and having opposite sides (3, 4) which between them define a gap-shaped space (7) through which the pulp shall flow and has inlet and outlet openings (5, 6) communicating with said pulp inlet (71) and outlet (72), respectively.

Title: Cdna clone encoding a human norepinephrine transporter
Inventor: AMARA SUSAN G
IPC: C12N5/10
Filed: 1992-02-20
Abstract: A cDNA encoding human norepinephrine transporter isolated from human neuroblastoma cells is disclosed. Determination of the nucleotide sequence thereof permitted a putative amino-acid sequence of the transporter protein to be determined. Mammalian cells transfected with the cDNA produced an mRNA species similar in size to that produced by norepinephrine-producing neurons. Such transfected cells also became capable of norepinephrine uptake. The uptake was inhibitable by various uptake-inhibiting drugs, including cocaine, to a degree similar to the effect of such drugs on noradrenergic neurons. The cloned cDNA makes possible well-controlled studies of transporter function in non-neuronal cells without the obfuscating influence of other transporters in the same cells. Such studies include the relative effects of various drugs such as antidepressants.

Abstract: Lors des manoeuvres de deneigement, il est reconnu que les conducteurs de machinerie utilisent des machines de plus en plus rapides et performantes dans but d'accélérer le travail. Cette-méthode nécessite donc que les infrastructures telles que les trottoirs, chaines de rues, bordures de stationnements et d'allées de circulation, susceptibles d'être cachées par la neige, soient identifiées par un balisage adéquat de façon à ne pas être endommagées par la machinerie et à ne pas non plus endommager celle-ci. Dans les systêmes de balisage présentement utilisés, aucun n'est conçu pour être installé aux infrastructures mentionnées. Comme il est d'usage que le balisage hivernal soit installé à l'automne pour être enlevé au printemps, l'objet de cette invention est de fournir un système de balisage s'installant directement aux infrastructures, dont la tige-repère est d'installation façile et rapide et identifie avec préçision les ouvrages que la neige pourrait cacher durant l'hiver.

Title: Method for quantitatively determining detergent fuel additives in fuel samples
Inventor: BRAUER SALLY J
IPC: G01N30/02
Filed: 1994-09-23
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Fuel additives in vehicle fuel samples are quantitatively determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The vehicle fuel necessarily includes a detergent additive which is usually one component of a multi-component additive package (e.g., which also contains a carrier and a solvent for the detergent). Samples of the detergent additive-containing vehicle fuel are thus subjected to gel permeation chromatography by injection of the fuel sample into a mobile phase of the GPC system in this regard, the mobile phase of the GPC system will have a viscosity which is substantially the same as the viscosity of the fuel sample so that the fuel sample may be injected directly (i.e., without first being diluted). A chromatogram is thus obtained having identifiable (and hence quantifiable) bands indicative of the detergent additive component.
