Granted: 2015-12-22
Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products relate to measuring the combined accuracy of a gas meter and a volume corrector as a system. The measurement is performed with a transfer prover, and may be performed automatically on either integrated or non-integrated volume correctors and meters. In one embodiment, a test interface provides a convenient connection with controllable data switches for routing information between the meter/volume corrector, the transfer prover, and a processing device. Software running on the processing device can automatically configure the parameters for performing a combined accuracy test by downloading parameters from the meter/corrector and transfer prover via the test interface. Upon user selection of the test type, and optionally flow rates, for running the test, the software may configure data switches on the test interface to automatically perform the selected combined accuracy test.

Title: Immediate release formulations of memantine oral dosage forms
Inventor: YANG YAN
IPC: A61K31/13
Filed: 2005-06-16

The dosage form is direct compressed and has a hardness with the range of between about 3 and 40Kp, exhibits and average T  max within the range of about 2 to about 8 hours with an active ingredient load within the range of about 2.5 to about 150 mg. The formulation allows for dose-proportional compositions for once daily or b.i.d. dosing, while maintaining a steady average of T max.
Patent CA-2569379-C (CA)
Inventor: EHRICH MATHIAS
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2005-06-22
Granted: 2015-10-13
Abstract: The present invention provides a novel class of molecules, termed ~compomers~, that enable the indirect detection of target molecules, as well as novel target detection reagents and compomer templates that encode compomers.  Compomers are linear polymers generated from the compomer template portion of a target detection reagent during the course of an assay. In a given assay, each compomer species is correlated with a different target molecule, e.g., a carbohydrate, lipid, polypeptide, or target nucleic acid, particularly a specific nucleotide sequence within a target nucleic acid molecule. When, for example, a target nucleic acid is present in an assay, a compomer species specifically and uniquely correlated with the particular target (e.g., a known SNP or other genetic variant) is generated directly from a target-specific detection reagent (or indirectly from a larger precursor encoded by the compomer template and from which it is subsequently released), after which it can readily be detected, even in an assay where tens, hundreds, or thousands of different compomer species may be generated, as each compomer species is engineered to differ from the others by a small, resolvable defined characteristic (e.g., a mass increment, a difference in subunit composition, sequence, size, length, etc.). When coupled with highly sensitive detection techniques (e.g., MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, nucleic acid hybridization, nuclear magnetic resonance, etc.), a large number of different compomer species can be detected in a single reaction, thereby facilitating highly multiplexed analyses of complex samples.

Abstract: An osteosynthesis plate is described, which is suitable for treating jaw fractures. The osteosynthesis plate has a plane of the plate as well as two plate sections 12, 14 with associated longitudinal axes 16, 18 extending substantially within the plane of the plate and inclined or staggered with respect to one another. Through openings 20, 22 inclined to the plane of the plate are formed in each of the two plate sections 12, 14. The angular alignments of the through openings 20, 22 within the plane of the plate differ with respect to a longitudinal axis 16 serving as reference line from one another by less than approximately 60°. In applications in the jaw region this slight deviation of the angular alignments permits an intraoral securement of the osteosynthesis plate. A transbuccal access through the cheek can thus be dispensed with.
