Patent CA-2780694-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WEDLIN CHARLOTTE
IPC: A61L29/08
Filed: 2010-12-17
Abstract: A method is disclosed for providing a medical device with antibacterial activity, comprising the steps of: providing a substrate material coated with a hydrophilic polymer, said hydrophilic polymer exhibiting a low friction when wetted; providing a colloidal solution comprising chemically reduced particles of an oligodynamic metal and a hydrophilic polymer, said hydrophilic polymer being the same as in the coating of the substrate material; and dipping said substrate material in the solution. A medical device prepared accordingly is also disclosed. By means of this method, very advantageous properties of the antibacterial coating are obtained. In particular, a relatively low release rate is obtained in the wetting fluid, and a relatively high release rate is obtained in the intended use situation, e.g. when inserted into the urethra.

Patent CA-2787479-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WHITEMAN KATHLEEN R
IPC: C07K16/28
Filed: 2011-01-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to surprisingly effective anti-cancer drug combinations, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and uses thereof in the treatment of ovarian cancer. In particular, the present invention is based on the discovery that the administration of a CD56 antibody linked to a cytotoxic compound (e.g., an immunoconjugate) in combination with at least two chemotherapeutic agents (in particular a taxane compound and a platinum compound), improves the therapeutic index in the treatment of ovarian cancer over and above the additive effects of the anticancer agents used alone. In one embodiment of the invention, combinations of the CD56 antibody, or fragment thereof, linked to a cytotoxic compound plus additional chemotherapeutic agents have a synergistic effect in the ovarian cancer therapeutic index. The present invention also provides methods of modulating the growth of selected cell populations, such as ovarian cancer cells, by administering a therapeutically effective amount of such combinations.

Abstract: A pouch for internal mixture of segregated reactants includes an outer containment envelope with a sealed reactant compartment inside. A middle shear strip and two outer strips, together defining two shear lines, are connected to the reactant compartment. The outer strips are folded under the reactant compartment with their tips anchored to the containment envelope. The middle strip extends away from the reactant compartment and through a slit in the containment envelope. Pulling on the middle strip causes the shear lines to lengthen until the reactant compartment is shorn open to release a reactant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to communications and more particularly, to systems, methods and apparatuses for universal user-to-user communications. A communication system is described which uses a Universal Identification Number (UIN) that identifies each user on the system, encapsulating data that represent the user him or herself. Such data may include, the user's current physical geolocation on the globe; Current status (busy, reachable, not reachable); Current active endpoint to reach at and preferred method of reach; and an aggregation of all endpoints at which the user can be reached, and their geolocation. The described method and network system thereby can dynamically introduce, adapt, and communicate services (in essence personalize) to each user based on their current location and status. Thus, a user may communicate with another user efficiently without the need to know all of their endpoints or without the need to have multiple communication attempts on multiple devices.

IPC: E21B43/24

Abstract: Estimates of global total "liquid" hydrocarbon resources are dominated by structures known as oil sands or tar sands which represent approximately two-thirds of the total recoverable resources. This is despite that the Canadian Athabasca Oil Sands, which dominate these oil sand based recoverable oil reserves at 1.7 trillion barrels, are calculated at only a 10% recovery rate. However, irrespective of whether it is the 3.6 trillion barrels recoverable from the oil sands or the 1.75 trillion barrels from conventional oil reservoirs worldwide, it is evident that significant financial return and extension of the time oil as resource is available to the world arise from increasing the recoverable percentage of such resources. According to embodiments of the invention pressure differentials are exploited to advance production of wells, adjust the evolution of the depletion chambers formed laterally between laterally spaced wells to increase the oil recovery percentage, and provide recovery in deeper reservoirs,
