Patent CA-2607382-A1 (CA)
Title: Automation and optimization of crrt treatment using regional citrate anticoagulation
Inventor: LANNOY JEAN-MICHEL
IPC: A61M1/36
Filed: 2006-09-22
Abstract: A system or method automates and optimizes citrate anticoagulant supplementation in a blood filtration circuit during CRRT. A processor-based control system interfaces with a blood filtration circuit to detect patient blood flow into the circuit, detect fluid loss through a hemofilter, and sense vital electrolyte concentrations in the blood flow, and in response, control the addition of citrate, substitution fluid, and electrolyte supplements to ensure stability of plasma concentrations in post-dilution flow returned to the patient. The controller executes the method embodied as process control algorithms for calculating an optimal citrate flow rate as a function of selected, detected, and calculated system parameters. Citrate may be added to the circuit separately, or as part of a substitution solution or a dialysate.

Title: Compositions and methods for increasing amplification efficiency
Inventor: RASHTCHIAN AYOUB
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2006-07-07
Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided that improve the specificity and efficiency of nucleic acid amplification. A binding partner may be bound to a DNA polymerase enzyme where the binding partner substantially inhibits the activity of the polymerase. A second enzyme modifies the binding partner in a manner that relieves the inhibition of the polymerase activity. The activity of the second enzyme may be inhibited in a temperature-sensitive manner such that the second enzyme is active only at elevated temperatures. As a consequence, the polymerase enzyme also is active only when the temperature is elevated.

Abstract: Toilets have been around a long time and havent been changed much in the recent past. It was thought that they worked alright so why bother.   But with the shortage of water it was apperant that the time had come, being as wasteful of water as they are. Many ideas have been put forth to save water in toilets and worked well,but some are very costly to build.   If a flush of about 3 litres were used per flush that would save a lot of water, of a 6 litre tank.   My invention may just be that one, it can save 3+ litres each flush. It is re-inventing the flush valve to save water.   It makes the flush valve do its job by only allowing whatever amount of water that you want or need to use to flush By attaching a small weight heavy enough to attain a necessary amount to flush everything down.   Since there are two types of flushes that are needed, one for liquid and one for solids, and liquid is the most used, it was best to make it flush a smaller amount of water, about 2 1/2 or 3 litres, per flush and let the flush for solids be one full flush, if the 3 litres flush is not suffient, there is more.

Title: Method and apparatus for stimulating heavy oil production
Inventor: NENNIGER JOHN
IPC: E21B43/24
Filed: 2000-02-23
Abstract: A method of enhanced oil recovery having a number of steps. One step is to establish a flow path between an injection well and a production well. Then a solvent is heated, under pressure, until the condensation temperature of the solvent vapour is above the naturally occurring formation temperature. Then, the solvent is injected, under pressure, into the formation where it is permitted to condense. Then, the latent heat of condensation, together with warm solvent reduce the viscosity of the insitu hydrocarbon, while precipitating out asphaltenes. The reduced viscosity solvent/heavy oil blend is then recovered.

Abstract: It is found that a neuromedin U receptor 2 (FM4) molecule is expressed at a high level in a cancer cell such as a pancreatic cancer cell. When a ligand for the molecule is examined on its cancer cell proliferation inhibition effect, it is found that the ligand can inhibit the proliferation of a cancer cell. It is also found that the effect can be produced by a signal via an FM4 molecule.
