Patent CA-2344358-A1 (CA)
Title: Improved inhaler
Inventor: CHRISTRUP SOREN
IPC: A61M16/06
Filed: 1999-09-24
Abstract: A breath actuated inhaler for delivering medicament by inhalation, comprising a housing having a mouth--piece and defining an air flow path extending from the mouthpiece through the housing; the housing holding a replaceable canister of medicament actuatable to deliver a dose of medicament into the air flow path, wherein the housing defines an opening in the air flow path and the opening is closed by a closure element connected to and replaceable with the canister. The closure element acts as a safety feature because it is only closed when the inhaler is used with a canister to which a closure element is connected the closure element carries an indication of the type of medicament in the canister to allow the user to recognise the type of medicament. A plurality of inhalers may be provided in which each given inhaler has an opening with a different shape and has a closure element with a shape which conforms with the opening of the given inhaler but which does not conform with the openings of the other inhalers.

Patent CA-2355800-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MATSUURA HIROSHI
IPC: G02B6/32
Filed: 2001-08-16
Abstract: An optical multiplexing module, which is easier inadjustment of an optical axis, has an optical multiplexing element and a prism to change optical paths of input light. The module also has one or more input collimators at the input-side end thereof a single output collimator at the output-side end thereof. The optical axes of the collimators are adjustable by optical axis adjusting means.        Further, according to the method of correcting the optical axes, after fabricating the collimators into the module, with an optical loss between optical parts monitored, an external force is applied in turn to a plurality of arbitrary locations around a joint portion of one optical part. This application allows a hit location showing a maximum reduction in optical loss to be found out. Radiating a laser beam onto an opposite-side location on the joint portion to the hit location leads to an easier correction of displacements ofthe optical axis with ease.

IPC: H04W8/20
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system for electronic commerce as well as a method for checking that a buyer has electronically registered a purchase before delivery of a purchased merchandise. A problem is to secure who the buyer (SBS) is without him or her having established a relationship in advance with the seller. The invention solves the problem by letting the seller offer his/her merchandise from an application (AP1-AP3) in an internal packet data network (CSN). The packet data network is connected to a GSM-network. The buyer (SBS) is provided with a mobile terminal (MS), and to activate it, he/she gives a code. A session with the application can be set up only from a mobile terminal, and the application then receives information about the identity of the terminal. With reference to this identity, the application sends an order back to the GSM-network. According to one embodiment, the order means that a payment order shall be registered in a payment node, which is controlled by the operator of the GSM-network, for later charging of the buyer. According to another embodiment, a given account number is checked.

Title: Pigment
Inventor: BUTTLE LOUISE GEORGINA
IPC: A23K1/18
Filed: 2000-05-08
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of improving the pigmentation of fish flesh. Specifically, this is brought about through feeding the fish with both pigment and cholesterol, which are generally combined into a foodstuff. This addition of the pigments in the diet which results in a change in flesh colour, blood pigment levels and flesh pigment levels of the fish. Further, the uptake of pigment into the plasma and flesh is shown to be optimal when the feed contains a cholesterol level of between 1 and 3 percent. Such a method of enhancing the uptake of pigment by fish can be used on Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, other salmonids, tropical fish and any other fish species where the pigment colour of either the flesh or skin is important.
