Patent EP-1227735-A1 (EP)
Inventor: DAY TREVOR NEIL
IPC: A61K8/24
Filed: 2000-06-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to chewing gum composition comprising a polymeric surface active agent. A second aspect of this invention relates to a crunchy chewing gum wherein the crunchy texture is provided by particulate polyphosphate particles within the formulation and which lasts through the initial minutes of mastication. The chewing gum composition may also contain a cationic material and/or an orally active metallic ion. The chewing gum composition will provide surface conditioning effects on a subject's teeth and/or oral mucosa and the "crunchy" texture is used as a sensate to reinforce these effects. The surface conditioning effects can be measured through M vitro or in vivo testing. The in vitro testing shows a total surface energy and/or a lewis base score to increase immediately after treatment with the chewing gum and then decrease over time. The in vivo testing shows a water contact angle of the oral mucosa to decrease after treatment with the chewing gum composition and/or a significantly higher smooth teeth feel relative to other chewing gum compositions. The present invention also relates to methods of providing surface conditioning effects to a subject comprising administering to the subject a chewing gum comprising a polymeric surface active agent. The present invention also relates to methods of reducing astringency of a chewing gum containing an orally active metallic ion without significantly reducing the efficacy of the metallic ion.

Patent EP-1231966-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BERTHON-JONES MICHAEL
IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 2000-09-15
Abstract: The ventilator of the invention uses a respiratory effort sensor that does not rely on respiratory airflow or pressure for synchronization, such as a device that measures movement of the suprasternal notch in response to respiratory efforts. This makes the ventilator relatively immune to leaks. Furthermore, the mask pressure may be modulated so as to servo-control the respiratory effort signal to be zero. Because effort is servo-controlled to be near zero, it is not necessary for the effort signal to be either linear or calibrated, but merely monotonic on effort. Similarly, it is possible to achieve near 100 % assistance without having to know or estimate the resistance and compliance of the patient's respiratory system, as in those systems that provide proportional assist ventilation.

Inventor: IHARA YUSHI
IPC: H04N21/41
Filed: 2000-12-04
Abstract: If bus resetting occurs during transmission of printing data (ST21), a printer
device is requested to transmit the information output before the occurrence of bus
resetting by a STB (C18). Responsive to a request from the STB, the information
input before the occurrence of the bus resetting is output from the printing device to
the STB (R18). Based on the information input responsive to the request, printing data
is again output from the STB to the printing device (C19). So, the system itself
recognizes the information output by the STB before the occurrence of the bus
resetting to re-initiate data transmission as from mid data (S14). Thus, data
transmission is to be carried out in a shorter time even when the bus resetting occurs
to shorten the entire printing time.
