Title: Adjustable stair stringer and railing
Inventor: TRUCKNER PAUL
IPC: E04F11/025
Filed: 2003-03-11
Abstract: An adjustable stair stringer and railing construction assembly is disclosed. The assembly is adapted to use a pair of parallel stringer arms for each side of the stair, a riser/tred support bracket for each stair and alignment and spacing elements for spacing the support brackets along the stringers. The brackets include formations for spacing the stringers with respect to each other and for spacing adjacent brackets along the stringers. The brackets are initially pivotally attached to each of the stringers so as to be rotatably movable about their pivotal attachment as the stringers are moved axially. Axial movement of the stringers with respect to each other establishes the angle of rise of the stair. Treads and risers are attached to the brackets to form the stairs and railings are attachable to the stringer and bracket assembly to complete the construction. The parallel stringers, brackets and spacers are also used in the preparation of formwork for pouring aggregate stairs with the stringers, brackets and spacers being reuseable.

Title: A cell therapy method for the treatment of tumors
Inventor: LETURCQ DIDIER J
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2002-02-19
Abstract: T cell responses are often diminished in humans with a compromised immune system. We have developed a method to isolate, stimulate and expand naïve cytotoxic T lymphocyte precursors (CTLp) to antigen-specific effectors, capable of lysing tumor cells in vivo. This ex vivo protocol produces fully functional effectors. Artificial antigen presenting cells (AAPCs; Drosophila melanogaster) transfected with human HLA class I and defined accessory molecules, are used to stimulate CD8+ T cells from both normal donors and cancer patients. The class I molecules expressed to a high density on the surface of the Drosophila cells are empty, allowing for efficient loading of multiple peptides that results in the generation of polyclonal responses recognizing tumor cells endogenously expressing the specific peptides. The responses generated are robust, antigen-specific and reproducible if the peptide epitope is a defined immunogen. This artificial antigen expression system can be adapted to treat most cancers in a significant majority of the population.

Patent CA-2442396-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GILES BRIAN C
IPC: A61P35/04
Filed: 2001-02-28
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une méthode rapide ainsi qu'une formule servant au traitement de cancéreux et causant la suppression et la rémission du cancer, la suppression de la mobilisation et de l'adhérence de cellules cancéreuses, et la répression de pathogènes, tels que les bactéries infectieuses et les virus. L'administration peut notamment s'effectuer par voie orale, par injection directe dans les cellules tumorales, ou par goutte-à-goutte intraveineux. Cette invention fait appel à une régulation de la physiologie ionique intracellulaire et extracellulaire par l'administration de sels alcalins, ce qui permet ainsi de restaurer la physiologie ionique cellulaire localisée et/ou systémique, de priver les cellules cancéreuses de leur aptitude à croître rapidement, et dans le même temps, de normaliser leur environnement local, ce qui permet ainsi d'inhiber l'angiogénèse, de permettre les réactions immunitaires et en même temps d'atténuer la douleur. La méthode de la présente invention permet également de promouvoir la modification d'états acidosiques souvent associés au cancer et à d'autres maladies, ce qui augmente ainsi le potentiel des fonctions biologiques immunitaires et réparatrices.

Inventor: DECHOVICH BORIS
IPC: H04B1/38
Filed: 2001-04-09
Abstract: Cellular phones (15) are becoming more common and popular amongst all sectors of the population for business and private conversations, including many children, with about 500 Million users worldwide, and about 300,000 new joiners each day. There is much concern and there is already some accumulating evidence that the Microwave emission transmitted by the cellular antenna that is held close to user's head may have deleterious effect on the user, such as for example brain or eye cancer, and possible even more so for children. The present invention solves the above problem in using earphone (11) with cellular phones (15) and similar device. This is accomplished by the elimination of any electrically conducting materials from the connection between the personal speaking device (13) and the phone (15), such as for example by use of optic fibers (14), so that the personal speaking device no longer act as an antenna. Many possible variations and also deviations from this basic design are shown.

Title: Compositions and methods for reducing blood and fluid loss from open wounds
Inventor: MERSHON MILLARD MARSDEN
IPC: A61L26/00
Filed: 2002-06-20
Abstract: The invention described herein relates to methods for reducing and/or stopping bleeding or fluid loss from open wound, denuded tissue, or burned skin, comprising the step of applying to the open wound, denuded tissue or burned skin a gel-fonning composition comprising at least one of the following compositions: a polyacry1ic acid having the structural formula [CH2=CHCO2H]n, where n is between 10,000 and 70,000; a polyacrylic acid and a desiccated water soluble organic or inorganic base; polyacrylic acid and a desiccated poorly soluble basic salt, and a polyvinyl alcohol having the structural formula of [CH2=CHOH]n, where n is between 15,000 and 150,000. When the gel-forming composition is applied to the open wound, denuded tissue, or burned skin, its ions react therein in the presence of water from blood or body fluid therein to form an aqueous gel or mucilage having sufficient viscosity and adhesiveness to cover and adhere to the open wound, denuded tissue, or burned skin so that bleeding or fluid loss is thereby reduced and/or stopped.

Title: Transmittal of heartbeat signal at a lower level than heartbeat request
Inventor: PROCTOR JAMES A JR
IPC: H04L25/14
Filed: 2002-06-13
Abstract: A communication system, such as a wireless CDMA system, detects markers with fewer errors by having field units (55) transmit the markers at different power levels (e.g., 9 dB for one marker and 11 dB for another marker). The difference in power levels of the markers allows the base station (110) to identify the request markers using alternative criteria with a low probabili ty of error, where the alternative criteria may include comparing the markers t o respective energy level thresholds, monitoring occupancy of time slots, occupancy of mutually exclusive code channels, or combinations thereof. For example, in one particular embodiment, a request marker, which is generally a high priority marker, is transmitted with higher power, which improves the probability of detection and reduces the probability of false detection of t he request marker.
