Patent CA-2094843-A1 (CA)
Title: Use of disulfiram to prevent neurologic and cardiovascular damage
Inventor: MARANGOS PAUL J
IPC: A61K45/06
Filed: 1993-04-26
Abstract: USE OF DISULFIRAM TO PROTECT CELLS AGAINST         HYPOXIC OR ISCHEMIC DAMAGE                   ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE           This invention discloses a method of reducing hypoxic or ischemic damage to cells or organs, by administering a therapeutically effective quantity of disulfiram or a suitable salt or analog thereof.  Previously, disulfiram has been used as alcohol-aversion therapy for alcoholics, and has been shown to be very safe and well-tolerated.  This invention also discloses that it can be used as a cytoprotetive agent.  When administered during or immediately after a hypoxic/ischemic crisis (such as a stroke, heart attack, cardiac arrest, asphyxiation, hemorrhage, or trauma involving blood loss) or before  a patient is subjected to cardiac arrest or bypass during surgery, disulfiram can suppress damage by oxygenated free radicals, it can chelate copper and iron which would otherwise promote lipid peroxidation of cell membranes, and it can generate metabolites such as tryptophol that can suppress metabolic activity and demands in neurons and affected tissue. This invention also discloses rapid-release injectable formulations comprising disulfiram mixed with water, an organic compound having a plurality of hydroxyl groups (such as propylene glycol, dextrans, an cyclodextrins), and a buffer. Unlike slow-release injectable formulations designed to ensure that chronic alcoholics have significant quantities of disulfiram in their blood over prolonged periods of time, rapid-release injectable formulations are designed to reduce hypoxic or ischemic damage caused by crisis events.

Title: Magnetic missile and novel system of use
Inventor: HARBIN JOHN J
IPC: A63F9/02
Filed: 1993-05-28
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE            Magnetic missiles having a disk like shape with a central aperture are known to be thrown at a magnetic target.  In this invention a magnetic missile has been adapted to be used with a launching device and target.   The magnetic missile has permanent magnetic north and south poles induced on one side for optimal holding power on the target while the other side's remnant magnetism has relatively weak holding power.   The launching device's launching surface is  of hard magnetic material customized to co-operate with the missile's side of remnant magnetism  to hold  the missile  on the  launching surface.   The co-operative magnetism is only sufficient to prevent the missile from falling off during handling but not to unnecessarily impede the missile launch towards the target and it will adhere strongly thereto.  The target can be of reappliable flexible sheeting which is designed to work in conjunction with a soft magnetic surface, or it can be make of a magnetic material.

Title: Polarization separator and waveguide-microstrip line mode transformer for microwave apparatus
Inventor: YOSHIDA YOSHIKAZU
IPC: H01P5/107
Filed: 1993-11-10
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE         A polarization separator for separating orthogonal polarization waves into a horizontal polarization wave component and a vertical polarization wave component is minimized in size.  A metal pole in the form of a thin metal bar is disposed in a circular waveguide of a waveguide member into which the orthogonal polarization waves are introduced, and reflects the horizontal polarization wave component so that it is outputted through an output terminal formed in a circumferential wall of the waveguide member. Meanwhile, the vertical polarization wave component propagates in a substantially rectangular waveguide provided rearwardly of the metal pole and is outputted from another output terminal.  Since the rectangular waveguide is formed in a cutoff structure for the horizontal polarization wave component, the reflection means can be formed from the metal pole in the form of a thin bar, and consequently, the polarization separator can be minimized.

Title: Gas operated foot stool
Inventor: SULZER JAMES H
IPC: A47C3/30
Filed: 1994-06-01
Abstract: GAS OPERATED FOOT STOOL          ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION A foot stool with improved stability is infinitely adjustable and has an actuating mechanism including a ring actuator which is mounted below a spoked base to be actuated by a person sitting on the stool. The ring actuator extends concentrically around the spoked base and around a vertically adjustable column which supports a seat above the floor. The ring actuator is accessible from virtually any position around the stool. Rocking the ring actuator downwardly actuates a lifting mechanism coaxially mounted within the vertically adjustable column, and the weight of the person on the seat may be used to raise and lower the stool height. Since the ring actuator is mounted below the base and close to the floor surface, the person on the stool does not have to substantially lift a leg or shift his weight to actuate the lifting mechanism. Further, the actuating force is generally downward and parallel with the column of the stool so that actuation does not tend to tip the stool seat forward and drive the base rearwardly out from under the sitter. The base of the stool may therefore be lighter and still achieve the same or better stability than stools with heavy bases. Additionally, the stool of the present invention is light weight and comprises a minimal number of parts for inexpensive manufacturing and shipping, and for easy assembly.
