Patent CA-2440578-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHETH ASHLESH
IPC: A61K9/38
Filed: 2002-03-08
Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition for oral delivery of a peptide is in the form o f a lamination having at least two layers. The first layer of the lamination includes at least one pharmaceutically acceptable pH-lowering agent. The second layer includes a therapeutically effective amount of the peptide. The composition also includes at least one absorption enhancer effective to promote bioavailability of the peptide, which is preferably in the second layer, and an enteric coating surrounding the lamination. In a preferred dosage form of a tablet, a water-soluble coating is applied between the lamination and the enteric coating which substantially prevents contact between the pH-lowering agent and the enteric coating. In a preferred embodiment, the peptide is salmon calcitonin, the pH-lowering agent is citri c acid, and the absorption enhancer is lauroyl l-carnitine.

Title: Projection apparatus using telecentric optics
Inventor: COBB JOSHUA M
IPC: H04N5/74
Filed: 2004-01-30
Abstract: A digital projection apparatus (10) for projection of a multicolor image uniformizes polychromatic light from a light source (20) and provides magnification to the uniformized illumination beam using a base condenser relay (80), providing a reduced numerical aperture for conditioning at a dichroic separator (27). For each monochromatic component color provided from the dichroic separator (27), a reducing relay (82) then demagnifies the illumination beam to provide source illumination to a spatial light modulator (30) at an increased numerical aperture. The modulated beam from the spatial light modulator (30) is then magnified by a magnifying relay lens assembly (28) and directed, at a lower numerical aperture, to a dichroic combiner (26) and to a projection lens (32). As a result, the projection lens (32) has reduced working distance, color shading across the field is minimized, and brightness is optimized.

Patent CA-2457894-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GROSS STEVEN
IPC: G01N33/48
Filed: 2002-08-23
Abstract: The methods and reagents described in this invention are used to analyze circulating tumor cells, clusters, fragments, and debris. Analysis is performed with a number of platforms, including flow cytometry and the CellSpotter.RTM.* fluorescent microscopy imaging system. Analyzing damaged cells has shown to be important. However, there are two sources of damage: i n vivo and in vitro. Damage in vivo occurs by apoptosis, necrosis, or immune response. Damage in vitro occurs during sample acquisition, handling, transport, processing, or analysis. It is therefore desirable to confine, reduce, eliminate, or at least qualify in vitro damage to prevent it from interfering in analysis. Described herein are methods to diagnose, monitor, and screen disease based on circulating rare cells, including malignancy as determined by CTC, clusters, fragments, and debris. Also provided are kits f or assaying biological specimens using these methods.

Title: Spring-less monotube shock absorber
Inventor: FAREWELL RONALD WAYNE
IPC: F16F9/00
Filed: 2004-05-25
Abstract: A damper assembly includes a damper chamber and a remote reservoir chamber. The remote reservoir chamber includes a floating piston. The floating piston moves within a reservoir cavity to accommodate the additional fluid volume from a shaft during the compression strokes. The floating piston separates a fluid chamber which receives a hydraulic fluid from the damping chamber and a compressible fluid chamber which contains a compressible fluid. The compressible fluid provides a much higher compression ratio than conventional gas chambers and thereby operates as a bias to compress the fluid chamber and operate as a spring.

Patent CA-2472848-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WILLIAMS ROBERT LESLIE
IPC: G01L17/00
Filed: 2004-07-05
Abstract: A surface acoustic wave device includes a micro-machined pressure transducer for monitoring tire pressure. The device is configured having a micro-machined cavity that is sealed with a flexible conductive membrane. When an external tire pressure equivalent to the cavity pressure is detected, the membrane makes contact with ridges on the backside of the surface acoustic wave device. The ridges are electrically connected to conductive fingers of the device. When the detected pressure is correct, selected fingers on the device will be grounded producing patterned acoustic reflections to an impulse RF signal. When the external tire pressure is less than the cavity reference pressure, a reduced reflected signal to the receiver results. The sensor may further be constructed so as to identify itself by a unique reflected identification pulse series.

IPC: E21B43/00
Filed: 2004-07-08
Abstract: An apparatus for the prevention of polar ice mass depletion has a water extraction means, a snowmaking means, a water pumping means and a power means. The water extraction means extracts water from a water source that is located beneath a polar ice mass and transports the water to a ground level. The snowmaking means effects the conversion of the water into snow so that the snow can be deposited upon the surface of a polar ice mass. The water pumping means pumps water from the ground level to the snowmaking means. The power means operates the water extraction means, the water pumping means and the snowmaking means. The depletion of a polar ice mass is prevented by extracting water from beneath a polar ice mass, pumping the water to a snowmaking means, effecting the making of snow by using the snowmaking means and operating the necessary components through the use of a power means.
