Patent CA-2297801-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DIONNE KEITH E
IPC: A61K9/22
Filed: 1998-07-24
Abstract: Osmotic delivery system semipermeable body assemblies that control the delivery rate of a beneficial agent from an osmotic delivery system incorporating one of the semipermeable body assemblies. A semipermeable body assembly or plug includes a semipermeable body which is positionable in an opening of an osmotic delivery system. The semipermeable body has a hollow interior portion having a size selected to obtain a predetermined liquid permeation rate through the semipermeable body. Because the beneficial agent in the osmotic delivery system is delivered at substantially the same rate the osmotic agent imbibes liquid which has permeated through the plug from a surrounding environment, the liquid permeation rate through the plug controls the delivery rate of the beneficial agent from the osmotic delivery system. The liquid permeation rate through a semipermeable body may be varied to control the delivery rate of beneficial agent from an osmotic delivery system by changing the thickness of the semipermeable body or by changing an amount of surface area of the semipermeable body that is exposed to liquid when the osmotic delivery system is located in a liquid environment of use.

Title: Product vending
Inventor: COOKE BRIAN
IPC: G07F11/16
Filed: 1998-08-06
Abstract: A dispensing mechanism is provided for generally flat faced product (37). The flat faced product (37) is supported between a first generally upright extending wall (47) and a spaced and opposed second generally upright wall (49) so that the product (37) is stacked one on top of another in a storage chute (45). At a lower part of the chute (45), there is provided a first tongue (57) and a vertically lower spaced second tongue (59). A product support surface (53) extends across the bottom of the chute (45) and communicates with a discharge opening (55) in the second wall (49). The products (37) are therefore supported in the chute (45) by the support surface (53) and the first tongue (57). Product (37) is dispensed by retracting first tongue (57) allowing the lowermost product to fall onto the second tongue (59). The first tongue (57) is advanced to be under the next highermost product in the chute (45). The second tongue (59) is then retracted allowing the lowermost product to fall onto the support surface (53) and pass through the discharge opening (55). The remainder of product is then supported by the support surface (53) and the first tongue (57). In a variation there can be a single chute (45) and a plurality of such support surfaces (53), and first and second tongues (57 and 59) thereby enable a single chute (45) to stack a plurality of different product types. In a further embodiment heavy flat faced product (115) is stacked vertically side-by-side on generally horizontal extending but inclined floor (125) and wherein the product moves generally horizontally to one side to be dispensed. A tongue (129) is mounted at that side as well as a product moveable stop (153). The spacing between the tongue (129) and the stop (153) is generally equal the thickness of the product. Thus, the product can be dispensed by retracting the tongue (129) allowing all product to move to that side and making the mechanism ready to dispense the next product.

Title: Methods to improve immunogenicity of antigens and specificity of antibodies
Inventor: FITZPATRICK JUDITH
IPC: C12P21/04
Filed: 1998-09-18
Abstract: A method of improving specific immune responses to small immunogens, haptens, has been developed by changing the linkage between the hapten and carrier being used for immunization. High affinity antibodies to the hapten cotinine have been produced using this method. Antibodies to a glycated protein have also been developed, utilizing an immunogen which is composed of a glycated peptide mimic of the glycated peptide sequence which is the target epitope, wherein the peptide mimic is constructed to conformationally mimic the conformation of the peptide in the native protein, the peptide mimic contains no charged groups or other immunodominant group, and the peptide mimic is connected to a spacer sequence equivalent to a peptide spacer of between one and thirty amino acids in length, which serves to position the peptide epitope in a conformation that approximates its conformation in the native protein. In a further embodiment the peptide mimic and spacer are linked to a carrier molecule. This method has been used to produce an antibody to the glycated protein HbA1c.

Les indices de la fonction cardiaque sont automatiquement calculés par un logiciel de quantification et les résultats sont affichés en format à code de couleur en deux ou trois dimensions pour être immédiatement examinés par le médecin ou le technicien. On peut utiliser les mesures quantitatives pour évaluer une perfusion myocardique et d'autres paramètres indicatifs de la fonction cardiaque. Un système d'aide assiste le médecin dans le procédé d'interprétation et un système expert intégré indique au médecin plusieurs possibilités de diagnostic compatibles avec les données disponibles, y compris le dossier médical du patient et des données provenant d'examens antérieurs et mémorisées dans la base de données du poste de travail. Des rapports sont automatiquement générés sur la base des découvertes automatiquement générées et sélectionnées ou modifiées par le médecin.

Patent CA-2336605-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LI ZENGMIN
IPC: C07F9/40
Filed: 2000-05-03
Abstract: Improved methods for converting phosphite or phosphonate esters into corresponding thiophosphites or thiophosphonates and for synthesizing specific thiophosphite and thiophosphonate compounds so produced are disclosed and claimed. The methods start from phosphite diesters using P4S10 as the thionation reagent. The reaction mixture is refluxed until the reaction is complete and may be followed by separation and chloroformate ester phosphonation steps to produce pure thiophosphonocarboxylate triesters.  Alternatively, these esters may be prepared directly by action of P4S10 on the corresponding phosphonocarboxylate esters. The former method was used to prepare dimethyl thiophosphite and thence trimethyl thiophosphonoformate, a key intermediate in synthesis of salts of thiophosphonoformic acid, which have anti-viral properties.
