Title: Controlled release pharmaceutical composition of tolperisone for oral administration
Inventor: BODENTEICH ANGELIKA
IPC: A61K47/32
Filed: 2005-03-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a tolperisone-containing pharmaceutical preparation with controllable active-substance release for oral administration, characterised in that the active substance tolperisone and/or a pharmaceutical salt thereof is embedded in a pharmaceutically compatible material. By selecting the pharmaceutically compatible materials in the preparation and accordingly in the coating of a tablet or granule, a specific release of active substance can be adjusted which is matched to the special genotype in the metabolisation of tolperisone. At the same time, as a result of the very uniform and persistent release of tolperisone, the in-vivo inversion of enantiomerically pure tolperisone that is known from the art can be adjusted in favour of the R(-) tolperisone which is prominent in muscle-relaxing therapy.

Patent CA-2554846-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OGAWA TOSHIYA
IPC: C07K16/14
Filed: 2005-01-28
Abstract: It is intended to provide a method of quickly measuring a factor causing early flocculation of yeast contained in a brewing material and a method of quickly judging the ability of a brewing material to cause early flocculation of yeast by using the above method. Yeast cells in the logarithmic growth stage or thereafter are prepared. Then the yeast cells are mixed with a high-molecular weight fraction of a water-extract of a test material sample (barley, malt, etc.) in a buffer solution and suspended therein. Next, the degree of sedimentation of the yeast cells thus mixed and suspended is measured.  According to this method, a factor causing early flocculation of yeast contained in a brewery material can be measured within an extremely short period of time by using a small amount of a sample without resort to a fermentation step as employed in the existing method. The high-molecular weight fraction of a water-extract of a test material sample can be easily prepared by extracting a brewing material with water and then separating a high-molecular weight fraction by using a procedure such as precipitation from ethanol, dialysis, ultrafiltration or gel filtration. The degree of sedimentation of yeast cells can be accurately measured by a simple and convenient procedure such as the measurement of optical density with the use of OD600.

Filed: 2005-02-10
Abstract: A method of controlling, reducing, or eliminating microorganisms including, but not limited to, fungi and bacteria associated with hygiene, food spoilage, and human pathogenesis on food surfaces after the foods have been packaged is achieved by exposing the microorganisms to a source of pulsed ultraviolet radiation through transmissible packaging. The duration of the pulses of ultraviolet radiation are in the range of picoseconds to microseconds at about 1 mJ/cm2 to about 10 J/cm2. Total energy irradiance is controlled in the case of foods with limited tolerance to such exposure.

Patent CA-2569706-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VILLEGAS GALEANO DORA MARINA
IPC: B60J11/00
Filed: 2006-12-07
Abstract: The following is a description of a structure called "Portable Snow Shell for Vehicles."  The snow shell refers to a light, semi-rigid and portable structure that can be used during the winter period to protect stationary vehicles from snow. It also protects the car from other climate factors such as sun, rain and other elements. The structure covers the length of the car (front, top, rear) and a small area around it, and helps keep the snow off the vehicle and allows the car to be moved quickly.   Installation and dismantling of the structure is easy due to the simplicity and lightness of the shell. The shell can thus be set up at any time such as during the night when the car is parked in the street, driveway or open garage. Moreover, the shell can be easily transported and fits into the car's trunk to be used anywhere.   The shell is installed onto the car to cover it without actually resting on the vehicle's surface. The structure is assembled with the help of several plastic stems installed at the central top section of the mould. These stems fortify the structure by giving it its rigidity and stability. The shell is supported over the car by means of roof supports and solid clips installed onto the vehicle's hubcaps. The shell's size and shape may vary according to the make, model and type of the vehicle.   At the moment, there is nothing on the market offering vehicle snow protection such as the portable shell. Such a structure provides a good solution for motorists in countries where snow is the major cause for vehicle problems, saving time and effort.   Nevertheless, a type of protective structure that can be found on the market is the "car shelter." This large tent-like structure is installed in the vehicle owner's driveway for the duration of winter and dismantled when the weather becomes milder.     Also found on the market is the "car tarp." This item, made of a single sheet, is often used to cover new cars or any car not in use and protects it from light and dust.   Finally and more obviously, we can find camping tents made of nylon on the current market. These tents are evidently used to shelter people from the elements when sleeping outdoors.
Patent CA-2570764-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHAHLEY DENNIS W
IPC: F15B1/02
Filed: 2006-12-11
Abstract: A system to lock a roll-suspension arrangement operatively connected to allow pivotal movement of a boom assembly about a fore-and-aft axis independent of a carrier frame is provided. The system includes an actuator cylinder having an end movable in a linear direction relative to a fixed end. The fixed end of the actuator cylinder is connected at the carrier frame, and the movable end is connected at the boom assembly. The system further includes a lock valve located in fluid communication with the actuator cylinder. The lock valve in a closed position prevents a fluid flow therethrough so as to restrain movement of the actuator cylinder and rotation of the boom assembly with respect to the carrier frame. In an open position, the lock valve releases movement of the actuator cylinder so that the boom assembly freely pivots independently of the carrier frame.
