Patent CA-2806062-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CAMPBELL JAMES N
IPC: A61K31/165
Filed: 2011-07-18
Abstract: Alpha-2 adrenergic agonists such as clonidine may be used to treat the pain associated with painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) only in a subset of these patients. Targeted nociceptors (pain fibers) must be functionally expressed in the skin in order for clonidine to have a therapeutic effect. Neuropathies associated with pain differ with respect to the expression of nociceptors in the skin. Clonidine targets alpha-2 adrenergic receptors on the terminals of nociceptors. The presence of the targeted nociceptors may be determined by topical application of a TRPV1 agonist such as capsaicin. Patients who detect the capsaicin as a pain stimulus applied near the painful area have expression in the skin of the requisite targeted nociceptors and the targeted alpha-2 adrenergic receptors. The test is referred to as a capsaicin challenge test. This test significantly improves clinical outcomes in topical neuropathic pain treatment.

Abstract: L'invention consiste en un Système de Conversion de l'Energie Eolienne (SCEE) en une énergie mécanique puis électrique. Ce système (SCEE) n'est pas soumis à la limite théorique de Betz (59%). Le système (SCEE) dispose d'une roue (F) munie d'une série de pales disposées tout autour. La roue (F) tourne en liaison pivot autour d'un axe (L) fixe. Encastré à l'axe (L), un support (E) assure la fixation des flasques d'une série de vérins à double effet (D). Les tiges de cette dernière, sont en liaison rotule avec le corps (A) et ce, afin d'offrir à ce dernier un maximum de degré de liberté dans l'espace. Un bras rigide (C) est encastré d'un côté à Ia roue (F) et maintenu de l'autre côté, en liaison pivot, à un profil (B) en forme de U. Ayant un mouvement satellite circulaire, ce dernier tourne avec la roue (F) tout en glissant sur une zone périphérique du corps (A). Lorsque le vent agit sur le corps (A), ce dernier pivote avec le profil (B) et pousse les tiges des vérins (D). Ayant un mouvement satellite circulaire, le profil (B) tourne tout en glissant sur une zone périphérique du corps (A), changeant ainsi le pivot du moment de la force résultante du vent (la liaison pivot du profil (B)) qui s'applique sur le corps (A). Les tiges des vérins (D) seront, par conséquent, tirées et poussées, tout en ayant un mouvement de translation cyclique. Encastrée à l'axe (L), une nacelle (J) contient principalement, un moteur hydraulique (H) et un générateur électrique (G), qui peuvent être accouplés via un multiplicateur de vitesse. Durant les mouvements de va et vient des pistons des vérins (D), un jeu de clapets assure un flux de fluide hydraulique à l'intérieur des circuits hydrauliques « d'allée et de retour » en mono-sens, que se soit en tirant ou en poussant. Les circuits hydrauliques « d'allée et de retour » sont, par ailleurs, liés au moteur hydraulique (H). Afin de permettre au système (SCEE) d'être maintenu face au vent et de pivoter sur le mât (1), son orientation, peut être assurée par un gouvernail (K), fixé via un support, à la nacelle (J).
