IPC: A61K31/7048
Filed: 2001-08-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a composition comprising hydroxycitric acid (HCA) in combination with either one or both of garcinol and anthocyanin, and its use as a weight-loss therapy in animal subjects, preferably humans. The therapeutic effects for the composition observed in murine and human studies include a reduction in total body weight and body mass index, a reduction in body fat, an increase in lean body mass and content of body water, and a reduction in perceived appetite level. Another composition for use in weight-loss therapy is also described relating to forskolin in combination with either one or both of garcinol and anthocyanin. The anti-oxidant properties of garcinol are described as being enhanced in the presence of HCA and anthocyanin, and the combination of HCA, garcinol and anthocyanin is also shown to exert greater citrate lyase inhibiting properties than either compound alone. Methods of obtaining HCA, garcinol or anthocyanin, or a composition containing all three compounds, are described.

Abstract: In a database synchronization process, a block of data is read from a source database
at the first node. A marker is assigned to the block of data, and the marker is then written to an
audit trail at the first node. The marker is sent from the audit trail to a second node having a
target database. The block of data is sent from the first node to the second node without
passing the block of data through the audit trail. At the second node, the block of data is stored
in the target database upon receipt at the second node of the block of data and the marker
assigned to the block of data. This process is repeated for additional blocks of data in the
source database, wherein a marker is assigned to each subsequent block of data. In this manner,
some or all of the source database may be replicated to the target database without having to
store or pass any data in the source database in or through the audit trail at the first node.

Abstract: In a playback control apparatus (11, 115a, 112a) for
controlling a playback apparatus (100a) that plays back a content
(C) and transmits the content to a recording apparatus (200a) for
external transfer, a data manager (111) sequentially transmits
a plurality of pieces of content data (Dc1 through Dcn) from a
content source (110) to the recording apparatus (200a). A command
transmitter/receiver (114) determines whether the recording
apparatus (200a) is capable of recording. Based on the
determination result, the data transmitter (111) is controlled.
Thus, it is possible to provide a playback control method and a
playback control apparatus that can discontinue a playback
process carried out by the playback apparatus even when the
recording apparatus falls into a state of incapable of recording
the content while the content is being transferred from the
playback apparatus to the recording apparatus.

Title: Method for the extra-corporeal qualitative and/or quantitative recording of neuro-toxic substances in the blood plasma of an individual
Inventor: LOOCK JAN
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 2002-05-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the extra-corporeal qualitative and/or quantitative recording of neuro-toxic substances in the blood plasma of an individual. According to said method, a system containing neurones or neuronal networks, which have been cultivated on or applied to a micro-electrode array or a neuro-chip, in addition to a device for measuring the electrical activity of at least one or several of said neurones are provided, the neurones are brought into contact with a prepared sample of plasma and the electrical activity of the neurones is measured. The aim of the invention is to develop and improve said method in such a way that it supplies reliable, reproducible results for the recording of neuro-toxic substances in the blood plasma of an individual, in particular in the case of encephalopathic conditions, such as for example hepatic failure, or of coma conditions of various origins. To achieve this, prior to measurement, the blood plasma of an individual is prepared by being subjected to a filtration method, preferably an ultra-filtration method, whereby an exclusion limit, which causes the most extensive separation possible of the plasma protein from the other dissolved substances is selected, and/or prior to measurement, the blood plasma of an individual is prepared by being subjected to an extraction of liposoluble substances, using a solvent for liposoluble substances, and the ultra-filtrate or the extract containing the liposoluble substances, or both are used in succession or are blended together for the measurement.
