Patent CA-2777343-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VAN DOORN JAN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2012-05-23
Abstract: A monitoring and analysis system is disclosed that gathers and analyzes information about distributed enhanced content delivery to end user or other equipment. The system may establish communications connections along the content delivery system, filter content received from different locations of the system, and compare the received content with an expected content characteristic. Also, a radio frequency signal from the distribution network may be converted into an Internet Protocol (IP) format by a converter so that the transformed signal may be similarly analyzed as other signals from the system. A report may be consequently generated that is indicative of the received enhanced content and any detected discrepancies with respect to expected enhancement events. Identification of the enhanced content may be based on the program association table and the program map table in order to determine the packet ID of the application signals.

Title: Microfluidic cartridge with parallel pneumatic interface plate
Inventor: WIMBERGER-FRIEDL REINHOLD
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2010-10-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a design of an interface plate (101) between a microfluidic cartridge (100) and an instrument (102) for fluid actuation in the disposable cartridge. Pneumatic actuation is carried out through a reversible pneumatic interconnection between instrument and cartridge. Pneumatic drivers are integrated in the instrument for a low cost and reliable solution. The actuation of the fluid in the cartridge is achieved by a flexible membrane (105) attached to the major surface of the disposable cartridge forming closed compartments only when attached to the instrument. The pressure, in these compartments determines the deflection of the membrane which in turn actuates the fluid. This approach takes advantage of the high power and large stroke of pneumatic actuation while at the same time keeping the disposable cartridge simple and low cost and allowing easy introduction of other physical transport across the interface plate, like heat or acoustic vibration. A large number of actuators can be integrated easily into the flat interface plate as no individual fixation, like tubing, is required for the pneumatic actuation.

Title: Methods and compositions for treating distress dysfunction and enhancing safety and efficacy of specific medications
Inventor: CRAIN STEVEN
IPC: A61P25/04
Filed: 2010-12-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for reducing Distress Dysfunction by restoring and maintaining homeostatic balance in the neurotransmitter systems underlying the Stress Response and the experience of distress and hedonic tone. Distress Dysfunction refers to the experience of dysfunctional emotional and physical distress that interferes with the individual's quality of life and functioning. A novel understanding of the bimodal opioid modulation of pain, and its impact, through serotonergic, dopaminergic, epinephrinergic, and norepinephrinergic processes, on hedonic tone, leads directly to new generation pharmaceutical formulations that are remarkably safe and effective for the treatment of a wide variety of Distress Dysfunctions, including anxiety, depression, anger, insomnia, mood disorders, eating disorders, sexual problems, pain, substance and behavioral addictions, gastrointestinal disorders, autistic spectrum disorders, attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorders, and other emotional and physical distress disorders. The foundation of this discovery is the power of Receptor Switchers, such as ultra- low-dose and very- low-dose opioid antagonists and GMl ganglioside attenuators, in blocking acute and protracted excitatory opioid receptor signaling. Co-administration of Receptor Switchers with Endorphin Enhancers, such as specific cAMP PDE inhibitors and excitatory amino acids, is an excellent formulation for restoring healthy homeostatic balance to the endogenous opioid system, using the body's endorphins to reduce emotional and physical distress, and through synergistic and homeostatic processes, restoring positive hedonic tone. The addition of Synergistic Enhancers, such as amino acids, SSRI and SNRI agents, and non-opioid analgesics, as well as Exogenous Opioids, enhances and prolongs these therapeutic benefits. The novel principles discovered by this invention also teach a new generation of safe and effective formulations for the treatment of respiratory conditions, neuropathy, and nociceptive pain.
