Patent CA-2387395-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LIPMAN ROGER DAVID ARNOLD
IPC: A61L15/16
Filed: 2000-10-13
Abstract: L'invention concerne une matière composite absorbant les fluides laquelle est autocollante et est constituée d'un mélange contenant une phase continue formée à partir d'une matrice adhésive autocollante, et une phase discontinue comprenant sensiblement un ou plusieurs absorbants hydrosolubles et/ou hydroinsolubles naturels obtenus par voie synthétique, caractérisée en ce que la phase continue contient un polymère trans-polyoctènamère, laquelle matière sert à élever la résistance au cisaillement du composite. Etant donné son faible point de fusion, les compositions contenant un polymère trans-polyoctènamère sont très faciles à mettre en oeuvre. Des formulations peuvent être préparées ne présentant que des propriétés faiblement adhésives, également des formulations adaptées en tant que pansements primaires pour diverses lésions difficiles à cicatriser et chroniques. L'adhésif autocollant peut aussi être combiné à un film non adhésif imperméable à l'eau, ou une autre matière de support, et il peut être utilisé en tant que constituant de barrière cutanée protecteur adhésif de poches pour stomie.

IPC: A61K9/00
Filed: 2000-12-07
Abstract: The preparation of an improved galenic delivery form of valnemulin, which is notable for its good tolerance and stability in storage, is described. The new delivery form in question is a non-aqueous or oily injection formulation, which is obtainable by means of in situ preparation and subsequent stabilisation of the free, relatively unstable base of the active ingredient. A further aspect of the present invention concerns the usage of such an injection formulation in a method of treating infectious diseases in productive livestock or domestic animals.

Inventor: BARTLETT JAMES
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-06-29
Abstract: An improved method and system for logging transaction records in a computer system. The method may include writing a confirmation log record to the log file for a transaction that completes normally, and not writing a confirmation log record for transac- tions that are aborted. The log file may be unloaded periodically by an unload program. The unload pro- gram may write transaction log records accompanied by a confirmation log record to a good output file and transaction log records not accompanied by a confir- mation log record to a suspended output file. On a subsequent execution, the unload program may com- bine the log records in the log file and the suspended file. The unload program may write transaction log records accompanied by a confirmation log record to a good output file. The unload program may write trans- action log records not accompanied by a confirmation log record and which have not exceeded a transaction time limit to a suspended output file. The unload pro- gram may write transaction log records not accompa- nied by a confirmation log record and which have ex- ceeded a transaction time limit to a disposal output file.  The transaction log records in the good output file may then be processed normally by log processing programs.

Title: Content routing architecture for enhanced internet services
Inventor: JAYARAMAN SURESH
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2002-10-28
Abstract: The need for an intelligent content-based router to analyze data and process a client's request quickly and efficiently is increasing with the popularity of the Internet. Current content routers examine only the HTTP based URL request and routes the request to the "best" server for processing. These routers fail to examine different types of TCP-based user requests. The content router we developed examines all type of TCP-based requests. The content router is a core router that simply forwards packets to the edge routers for delivery after performing its content based processing. This router can be replicated to achieve higher performance in large networks. Moreover, by adopting a formal design approach, which is subject to mechanical evaluation using the Z-EVES tool, the correctness of the design is ascertained.

Direct application to hand charge avalanche control methods and modified ammunition for Avalauncher ammunition are presented. Two of such charges with a conical liner can be positioned either facing each other or facing away form each other to obtain a particular blast pattern.

Title: Myogenic cell transfer catheter and method
Inventor: LAW PETER K
IPC: A61B5/053
Filed: 2001-09-11
Abstract: Catheters and methods for their use are presented that provide automated delivery of cells to structures in the body such as degenerative or weak muscle. The catheters contain one or more sensing components and a system for delivery of cells such as autologous myogenic cells. The sensing component(s) triggers automatic discharge of the cells upon detection of a body surface that needs repair. The discharge of cells may occur through an automated lancing mechanism that alleviates operator error from manual injection timing.  During use, an operator can position the catheter end to a structure in need of cellular repair, and the device can automatically discharge cells at a location and time as determined by conditions sensed at the catheter end. A  catheter and system is particularly useful for repair of degenerative and or weak heart muscle, such as that found after a myocardial infarct. The catheters and methods of their use also may be used for cellular repair of other interior body structures, particularly muscles such as bladder, intestine, stomach and diaphram. The catheters provide greater use of myogenic cell therapy for heart disease, while avoiding complications of open heart surgery.

Title: Method and apparatus for fastening a fluid transport mechanism to a container
Inventor: STATHAKIS KRISTOPHER J
IPC: A61L9/12
Filed: 2001-10-09
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the fastening of a fluid transpor t mechanism (112) to a fluid reservoir (106), and optionally, to various mechanisms which increase the effectiveness of the vaporizing units within which such devices may be employed. For example, the fluid transport mechani sm is suitably fastened to the reservoir and removal of the transport mechanism  is substantially inhibited by a retaining force provided by one or more fastening features (111). That is, the transport mechanism is fabricated or suitably augmented such that once it has been inserted into the reservoir (102), it is not easily removable without significant force or through the u se of tools. The retaining force is a force which opposes other forces applied to the transport mechanism which would tend to remove the fluid transport mechanism. For example, the retaining force is provided, at least in part, b y fastening features configured on the fluid transport mechanism and/or other components, such as a fitment (104) or a sleeve, which engages the transport  mechanism and likewise inhibits its removal by directing the retaining force  in a direction opposite to that which is needed to remove the transport mechanism from the reservoir.

Title: Sand casting foundry composition and method using shale as an anti-veining agent
Inventor: BROWN RICHARD K
IPC: B28B7/36
Filed: 2003-05-05
Abstract: A sand casting foundry composition reduces thermal defects that cause veining in metal parts cast from sand casting foundry shapes formed from the foundry composition. A plurality of foundry sand grains are mixed substantially uniformly with a plurality of shale particles, and a curable binder coats the sand grains and the shale particles to establish core and mold foundry shapes used to cast the metal part. Anti-veining capability occurs because the shale particles include mineral components which have an inherent characteristic of crystal structural collapse upon exposure to metallurgical temperatures, and the crystal structural collapse yields space which is consumed by thermal expansion of the sand grains in the foundry composition. This compensatory effect avoids the creation of mechanical forces and stresses within the foundry shape that cause cracks and fissures in the foundry shape that lead to veining.
