Patent CA-2201030-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CRESPY SERGE
IPC: A61N1/16
Filed: 1997-03-26
Abstract: This invention relates to the use of a "Grounding" device for the purpose of stabilizing the most sophisticated "semi-conductor", which contains the most integrated circuitry, and having the ultimate of function;  the "Human Body".  This invention relates to the use of a "Grounding" device to harmonize the "Frequency" of the molecular (DNA) structure of a living cell.  Presently, I have positive proof that prolonged use of such a device results in the remission of the various forms of arthritic disease, and rheumatism.    To achieve these results, a double lead /12 gauge, copper wire with each end bared, was wrapped about both limbs;  alternating at times, on the lower legs and the fore-arms.  The wire was clamped to an "optimum"          "Ground" source; the household water-piping closest to the most direct route to the main service, continuous to the communal system.  After extensive use  (at every opportunity),  one month later, modest results became apparent;  four months of use proved miraculous!
Patent CA-2201346-A1 (CA)
Title: Inhibitors of farnesyl-protein transferase
Inventor: BRESLIN MICHAEL J
IPC: A61K38/05
Filed: 1995-09-25
Abstract: The present invention comprises analogs of the CAAX motif of the protein Ras that is modified by farnesylation in vivo. These CAAX analogs inhibit the farnesylation of Ras. Furthermore, these CAAX analogs differ from those previously described as inhibitors of Ras farnesyl transferase in that they do not have a thiol moiety. The lack of the thiol offers unique advantages in terms of improved pharmacokinetic behavior in animals, prevention of thioldependent chemical reactions, such as rapid autoxidation and disulfide formation with endogenous thiols, and reduced systemic toxicity. Further contained in this invention are chemotherapeutic compositions containing these farnesyl transferase inhibitors and methods for their production.

Title: Low airflow catcher for continuous ink jet printers
Inventor: LOYD JOHN C
IPC: B41J2/185
Filed: 1997-04-29
Abstract: An improved catcher device is provided for use with a continuous ink jet printer of the kind for generating a row of parallel selectively charged drop streams catches charged ink drops. The improved catcher device includes a catcher face for receiving selectively charged drops of ink. A catcher radius associated with the catcher face directs the flow of selectively charged drops of ink from the catcher face into a catcher throat. The catcher throat is associated with the catcher radius and accepts a flow of selectively charged drops of ink from the catcher radius. The catcher throat has a short, narrow gap with a sudden enlargement downstream of the gap and two converging-diverging channels formed by an elliptical island and elliptical sidewalls. Finally, a catcher vacuum port, comprising the catcher face, the catcher radius, and the catcher throat, establishes reduced airflow and returns the selectively charged drops of ink from the printhead to the fluid system.

Title: Balloon activated force concentrators for incising stenotic segments
Inventor: BARATH PETER
IPC: A61M25/10
Filed: 1997-06-13
Abstract: A balloon activated force concentrator for use in cooperation  with  an  inflatable  angioplasty  balloon includes  at  least  one  elongated  flexible  panel,  an elongated cutting blade mounted on the outside surface of the elongated  flexible panel,  and an elastic circular band attached to each end of the elongated flexible panel for  securing  the  elongated  flexible  panel  to  an angioplasty balloon. Use of this balloon activated force concentrator   requires  mounting   the   device   on   an inflatable angioplasty balloon by  inserting the distal end  of  the  angioplasty  balloon  through  one  of  the circular bands. The balloon activated force concentrator is  then  advanced  over  the  balloon  until  the  second circular band reaches the distal end of the balloon. At that point, the elasticity of the circular bands straddle the balloon to retain the activated force concentrator securely against the outer surface of the  angioplasty balloon.

Patent CA-2210541-A1 (CA)
Title: Gateless sheet inverters for duplex processing
Inventor: ATTRIDGE DAVID M
IPC: B65H15/00
Filed: 1997-07-16
Abstract: A device for inverting a sheet along a path in an electric photographic printing machine. A gateless sheet inverter is provided in which a curved portion of a sheet path branch intersects a second portion of the sheet path to form a curved inverter throat. As the sheet is driven from the curved branch portion of the path into the throat portion the beam strength of the sheet causes the trail edge of the sheet to flip foward a second nip leading to the second sheet path. A pair of reversing rolls captures the lead edge of the sheet to be inverted and then reverses to drive the sheets out of the second nip formed by a tri-roll arrangement. A sheet having a radius of curvature equal to or greater than the radius of curvature of the throat will be guided along the throat baffle and fed through the second nip. To further assist in assuring the trail edge flips to the second sheet path an air knife can be added at the intersection of the path branches to assist in moving the trail edge into the second path branch. A fixed deflector can also be added and configured so that the trail edge of the sheet is guided into the second branch of the sheet path to increase the lattitude of sheet curvature that can be handled by the device, the deflector further having a curved radius on the portion of the deflector contacting the sheet so that coated sheets are not damaged.

Abstract: In an ion mobility spectrometer (IMS), the essential parts, namely the ion gate, the drift chamber, and the ion collector, consist of pieces that are slice or wafer shaped, and are either anisotropically etchable or can be machined using micromechanical methods.  The parts are held together by clamps, adhesives, or other known assembly methods.  The drift chamber consists of two sliced pieces with a through groove being etched or milled in one of them.  The groove is covered by the other smooth piece so that a drift channel is produced.  The drift channel is closed at one end by a grid-shaped ion gate, which is similarly made from a sliced piece by etching or milling, while the opposite end of the drift channel is closed by the ion collector, which is likewise made from a sliced piece that is electrically conducting on the inside.

Title: Methods and compositions for protective and therapeutic genetic immunization
Inventor: LORI FRANCO
IPC: A61K31/711
Filed: 1997-02-20
Abstract: Disclosed and claimed are methods and compositions for raising protective and therapeutic immunity in humans and animals by genetic immunization. The subject invention combines both safety and efficacy in the treatment of viral infections and diseases caused thereby. The methods of the subject invention comprise transduction of cells with a construct that directs the expression of an attenuated virus not capable of causing disease, for example, replication-incompetent. The enhanced efficiency of the subject invention in generating an antiviral immune response is due in part to a unique method for vehiculating attenuated viral particles within the host human or animal. Specifically, the attenuated non-pathogenic viral particles of the subject invention which produce the therapeutic or preventative immune response are generated by cells in the lymphoid organs such that the release of the viral particles occurs in the location within the human or animal body where antiviral responses are generated by cells of the immune system. The release of the virus particles in the lymphoid organs is achieved by transducing host cells of the lymphoid organs (or cells which migrate preferentially to the lymphoid organs) with a genetic construct which results in expression of the attenuated virus. As described more fully herein, transduction of dendritic cells is particularly preferred.
