Title: Method for producing calcium pyruvates
Inventor: ORTENBURGER GUENTER
IPC: A61P39/06
Filed: 1998-07-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing calcium pyruvates, wherein calcium salts of organic acids or acid organic keto or hydroxy compounds are reacted with pyruvic acid at a temperature ranging from -20 to +120 ~C, optionally in the presence of a diluent or a solvent. This enables the production of highly pure calcium pyruvates which can be substantially water-free and exhibit very good storage stability. Said calcium pyruvates are used to increase stamina and vigour in the field of sports, to reduce weight and fat, and as protective substance for body cells and tissues and as substance for inhibiting the formation of free radicals, as well as free radical scavenger in body cells and tissues in health care and as food additive.

Title: Systems, methods and computer program products for electronic trading of financial instruments
Inventor: MAY RAYMOND R
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 1998-10-13
Abstract: An Internet-protocol based anonymous trading system which enables traders to identify bids and offers which they are eligible to trade based upon a color coded methodology which gives the trader credit preference information about the potential counterparty while still maintaining the anonymity of the potential counterparty. To that end, each bid or offer is prescreened against all possible counterparties' credit information in the system and each counterparty sees a unique color coded trading interface based upon their particular credit preference combinations and the others in the system. The system then shows all prices in the system, and the color-coding tells the trader which prices he is able to trade, and also shows him the full depth of the market, including those the trader is unable to trade.

Abstract: A gate oxide film (4), a floating gate electrode (5), a ferroelectric layer (6) and a control gate electrode (7) are successively formed on a semiconductor layer (1) between a drain region (2) and a source region (3). A  silicon oxide film (9) having a dielectric constant smaller than that of the ferroelectric layer (6) is formed between the floating gate electrode (5) and the ferroelectric layer (6) in the region other than the generally central portion of the active region. The silicon oxide film (9) has a dielectric constant which is much smaller than that of the ferroelectric material. The capacitance of the region where the silicon oxide film (9) exists can be neglected. Therefore, the capacitance of the ferroelectric layer can be substantially decreased, thereby increasing the partial voltage that is applied.

Title: Identification and characterization of interacting molecules by automated interaction mating
Inventor: WANKER ERICH
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 1998-11-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved method for the identification and optionally the characterisation of interacting molecules designed to detect positive clones from the rather large numbers of false positive clones isolated by conventional two-hybrid systems. The method of the invention relies on a novel combination of selection steps used to detect clones that express interacting molecules from false positive clones. The present invention provides for high-throughput interaction screens for the reliable identification of interacting molecules, which in turn can lead to the identification of substances inhibiting said interactions. Such inhibitors can find their use in the formulation of a pharmaceutical composition. The present invention further relates to kits useful for carrying out the method of the invention.

IPC: B01D27/08
Filed: 1999-03-04
Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement in an oil filter (1) for a machine with a centralised lubrication system, for example an internal combustion engine. The filter comprises a cylindrical container enclosing a filter material (2), one end (1b) of the container having a peripheral seal (1b1) arranged in an end section of the container wall (1a), and a central threaded sleeve (1b2) serving as outlet for oil that has passed through the oil filter (1). Furthermore there is between the sleeve (1b2) and the seal (1b1) at least one inlet opening (1b3) for oil which is to be filtered. The end (1b) comprises a circular plate (6). The sleeve (1b2) engages with or forms an integral part of the plate (6), which in turn at its periphery bears against the end section (1a2) of the container wall (1a) on that side of the said end section opposite the seal (1b1). The plate (6) has a pattern which is formed by ridges extending essentially radially with intervening channels.

Patent CA-2324523-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for measuring temperature with an integrated circuit device
Inventor: POLLACK RICHARD STEPHEN
IPC: G01K7/01
Filed: 1998-04-14
Abstract: A temperature-sensor is implemented with a temperature-sensitive component (Q1) of an IC chip which functions as a radio frequency (RF) transponder (200) capable of measuring parameters associated with an object and transmitting data to an external reader/interrogator (106, 400). In use with a pneumatic tire (104), the transponder measures temperature and pressure within the tire.  The transponder includes circuitry (226) for controlling windows of time (WT  and WP) during which real-time temperature and pressure measurements are made, and for storing (236) calibration data, transponder ID number and the like, and for transmitting this information in a data stream (Figure 3C) to the reader/interrogator. An excessive temperature condition may also be sensed (MTMS 218) and included in the data stream. The circuitry of the transponder is preferably implemented on a single IC chip (204), using CMOS technology, with few components external to the IC chip. The transponder is preferably passive, deriving its operating power from an RF signal provided by the external reader/interrogator. Data (NT) indicative of temperature and data (NP) indicative of pressure are both transmitted to the reader/interrogator, along with calibration data. A calibration data stored by the transponder and transmitted in the data stream is a slope of NT/NP, or the "ratioed" response of the temperature count divided by the pressure count, which is determined during calibration of the transponder.
