Patent CA-2508695-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HERSCOVICH BERNARD
IPC: H04B7/06
Filed: 2003-12-30
Abstract: Methods and devices related to wireless networking. A wireless device has multiple directional antennas and multiple backhaul radio modules which provide point to point wireless links with other wireless devices. Each radio module can use any one of the available directional antennas to link to one other routing device. Antennas are automatically selected for each wireless device by merely setting one device in a "hunt" mode and setting another device in a "listen" mode. Devices in a hunt mode cycle through the available antennas by sequentially transmitting transmit messages to devices in the listen mode using each of the available antennas in turn. Devices in the listen mode also cycle through their available antennas by sequentially "listening" for transmit messages. A listen mode device, receives transmit messages on each of its available antennas, and, after gathering the relevant data, determines which of its antennas is best suited for communicating with the hunt mode device. The listen mode device antenna which is best suited is then used to transmit a response message to the hunt mode device. This listen mode device antenna is thus configured for communicating with the hunt mode device. Similarly, when the hunt mode device receives the response message, it designates its antenna which transmitted the transmit message as being configured for communications with the listen mode device.

Title: Reduction of reactive oxygen species in chronic wound management
Inventor: VAN DEN BERG A J J
IPC: A61K33/24
Filed: 2003-12-23
Abstract: Reactive oxygen species associated with a wound are modulated through treatment of the wound with a solution of metal ions selected from the group consisting of potassium ions, zinc ions, calcium ions and rubidium ions, at a pH of between about 5 and about 7. Preferably, citric acid is employed to adjust the pH. Application of the extract to a wound exhibiting superoxide anions has been found to be effective in the treatment of these wounds through the reduction of the level of superoxide anions. Moreover, treatment of partial thickness excision wounds as well as contact burn wounds with the present composition has been found to improve epithelialization of these wounds. In addition to the antioxidant activity of the present invention, treatment of the wound employing the present composition produces inhibitory effects on ROS production by human PMNs and on human complement activation, and therefore, is further beneficial in chronic wound management.
