Patent CA-2505126-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HALEY JEFFREY T
IPC: A61K9/70
Filed: 2003-10-29
Abstract: An adherent, soluble oral patch for delivering topical medication in the mou th including a hydrophilic polymer that is liquid at human mouth temperatures. Preferably, the hydrophilic polymer gels to a solid at temperatures just bel ow human mouth temperatures, preferably collagen such as animal gelatin. The structure of the oral patch is formed with a porous network that remains sol id at human mouth temperatures and slowly dissolves in saliva. In some embodiments, the network is elasto-plastic and in some cases it is hydrophilic. The hydrophilic polymer is located within pores of the network, along with a desired medication. The oral patch is formed by mixing and hydrating the ingredients, bringing them to above an activation temperature below boiling, and cooling them to form a gel. The hot mixture may be poured into molds, including a flat sheet, and the mold may also serve as packaging for delivery. The packaging may comprise a germ barrier moisture passing fil m which allows the oral patch to dry out or become re-hydrated without growing mold.

Filed: 2005-05-31
Abstract: The present invention is directed to enable a salt concentration measuring process to be executed even in the case where a road surface is dry. A salt concentration sensor (2) is mounted in a position on the rear side of a front wheel (104) of a chemical scattering vehicle (100) in a state where a detection surface (22a) faces the front wheel (104), and a water spreader (3) is mounted on the front side of the front wheel (104). The salt concentration sensor (2) guides light from an inner light source to the detection surface (22a), makes the light totally reflected by the border between the detection surface (22a) and the outside, receives the total reflection light, and generates measurement data indicative of salt concentration in the water adhered to the detection surface (22a). The controller (4) captures the measurement data of the salt concentration sensor (2) while discharging a predetermined amount of water by driving the water spreader (3), and measures salt concentration. Further, the controller (4) determines a scatter amount of an anti-freezing agent on the basis of the measurement value of salt concentration.

Title: Polypeptides related to natriuretic peptides and methods of their identification and use
Inventor: BUECHLER KENNETH F
IPC: G01N33/573
Filed: 2004-04-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification and use of polypeptides that bind to antibodies directed to a desired polypeptide of interest. Using natriuretic peptides and their precursors, and in particular BNP, as an example, the present invention describes a number of natriuretic peptides fragments produced in biological samples, most preferably blood-derived samples, that bind to antibodies directed to BNP. Because production of such fragments is an ongoing process that may be a function of, inter alia, the elapsed time between onset of an event triggering natriuretic peptide release into the tissues and the time the sample is obtained or analyzed; the elapsed time between sample acquisition and the time the sample is analyzed; the type of tissue sample at issue; the storage conditions; the quantity of proteolytic enzymes present; etc., such fragments may be used when both designing an assay for one or more natriuretic peptides, and when performing such an assay, in order to provide an accurate prognostic or diagnostic result.
