Patent CA-2384628-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NEUNER CHARLES P
IPC: A45D34/04
Filed: 2001-07-09
Abstract: A brush-type cosmetics applicator is provided that has bristle characteristics that vary at regular intervals along the length of the applicator. A plurality of annular members (e.g., disks, sleeves, rings, beads, etc.) are each individually formed by, for example, molding. Each annular member has a central bore. At least some of the plurality of annual members are flocked, preferably on an outwardly directed surface, with fibers of a desired diameter, hardness, flexibility, length and composition (material). The remaining annular members may not be flocked, or may be flocked with fibers having one or more characteristics different from the fibers used on the first group, e.g., a different diameter, hardness, flexibility, length or composition, or a combination thereof. Alternatively, each annular member of the second group may be flocked on a surface different from the surface flocked on each annular member of the first group. As another alternative, each annular member of the second group, whether flocked with the same or different fibers, or not flocked, may have a radial or axial dimension that is different from the annual members of the first group. Annular members from each group are arranged consecutively by way of the bore in each annular member on a shaft or pin to form the applicator portion of an applicator. The annular members are arranged in sequences that yield the desired applicator characteristics. For example, annular members from the first group may be provided with long bristles and be alternated with annular members from the second group provided with shorter bristles to form a brush-type applicator with improved coating and combing abilities.

Patent CA-2395391-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SOMMER STEVE S
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2001-02-22
Abstract: L'invention concerne un nouveau procédé de polymérisation activée par pyrophosphorolyse (PAP). Dans la PAP, la pyrophosphorolyse et la polymérisation par l'ADN polymérase sont couplées en série pour chaque amplification, grâce à l'utilisation d'un oligonucléotide P* activable possédant un 3'-désoxynucléotide non extensible à son extrémité 3'. On peut appliquer la PAP en vue d'une amplification exponentielle ou linéaire. La PAP peut s'appliquer à l'amplification d'un allèle rare dans une admixtion avec au moins un type d'allèle sauvage par l'utilisation d'un oligonucléotide P* activable qui à son extrémité 3' correspond exactement à l'allèle rare mais présentant un mésappariement au niveau de son extrémité 3', ou près de celle-ci, pour l'allèle de type sauvage. La PAP est inhibée par un mésappariement de la sous séquence spécifique 3' située jusqu'à 16 nucléotides de l'extrémité 3'. La PAP peut augmenter considérablement la spécificité de détection d'un allèle mutant extrêmement rare en présence de l'allèle de type sauvage. La spécificité résulte aussi bien de la pyrophosphorolyse que de la polymérisation, puisque une amplification non spécifique importante requiert la combinaison de pyrophosphorolyse non appariée et une mauvaise incorporation par l'ADN polymérase, ce qui est extrêmement rare. L'utilisation d'ADN polymérases génétiquement modifiées améliore considérablement l'efficacité de la PAP.
