Patent CA-2385806-A1 (CA)
Title: Sealed terminating device
Inventor: BROWER BOYD G
IPC: H04Q1/02
Filed: 2002-05-09
Abstract: A terminating device for interconnecting service provider wiring with subscriber wiring includes a base, a customer bridge, a removable cover and insulation displacement contacts for terminating the service provider wiring and the subscriber wiring. The insulation displacement contacts for the subscriber wiring are housed within the customer bridge and terminate the subscriber wiring by moving an actuating arm from a disconnected position to a connected position. The insulation displacement contacts for the service provider wiring terminate the service provider wiring by moving a stuffer from a disconnected position to a connected position. The cover includes a locking slide having a movable clasp for deterring unauthorized access to the customer bridge, while permitting authorized access. A plug on the cover and a jack on the base each have a resilient seal that telescope together to effectively seal test contacts located within the jack when the plug is inserted into the jack.
Patent CA-2386759-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OLIVIER MARTIN
IPC: A61K31/555
Filed: 2002-05-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of peroxometallic compounds, such peroxovanadium compounds, to prevent angiogenesis, restenosis and the production of endothelins, as immunomodulators and as antitumorigenic agents. Peroxometallic compounds are preferred since they are more potent, and less toxic, than their "oxo" counterparts, as exemplified by specific peroxovanadium compounds. Anti-angiogenic activity was verified in vitro against human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) as well as ex ovo using the chicken chorioallantoic assay membrane and in the rat aortic ring model and a Matrigel assay in vivo. Peroxovanadium compounds also decrease basal levels and inhibit the increase in plasma endothelins occurring following insulin induction in rats. It is proposed that peroxovanadium compounds are therapeutically-active anti-angiogenics and useful in preventing vascular restenosis by acting, inter alia, by inhibiting one or several protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) involved in the proliferation, differentiation and migration of cells or the secretion of peptides (such endothelins and immunomodulators), or both. These compounds have also been found to be suitable as antitumorigenic agents in the treatment of cancer, such as breast cancer and prostate cancer.

IPC: G16B50/20
Filed: 2001-01-22
Abstract: Les informations génétiques, biochimiques, biophysiques et anatomiques sont intégrées au niveau infracellulaire et cellulaire, au niveau du tissu et de l'organe. Au moins une base de données contenant des informations biologiques est utilisée pour générer au moins une structure de données à laquelle un attribut au moins se trouve associé. Une interface permet, de manière interactive, de visualiser, d'éditer ou de relier des attributs de structures de données pour établir au moins une description hiérarchique des fonctions infracellulaire, cellulaire, tissulaire et organique. La description hiérarchique peut être optionnellement une structure de données élémentaire, binaire ou de cheminement, ou bien encore, une structure de données anatomique pouvant être modifiée pour constituer un modèle structurel. Un calculateur génère mathématiquement au moins une structure de données à partir de la description hiérarchique. Les informations génétiques sont consultées, présentées sous forme de tableaux et combinées à des informations fonctionnelles relatives au rôle biochimique et physiologique de produits géniques. Des modèles de calcul de processus génétiques, biochimiques et biophysiques à l'intérieur de cellules et de systèmes d'ordre supérieur sont automatiquement établis, résolus et analysés sur la base de la combinaison des informations génétiques et des informations fonctionnelles ajoutées. On obtient ainsi un dispositif dynamique qui sert à réaliser des objectifs mis en évidence, tels qu'une meilleure compréhension des processus biologiques, l'identification de nouvelles cibles médicamenteuses pour l'intervention thérapeutique, et les prédictions quant aux résultats du criblage de médicaments. Ces objectifs sont réalisés par la création d'interactions dynamiques non linéaires hautement complexes qui interviennent entre chaque gène ou produit génique.
Patent CA-2399332-A1 (CA)
Title: Angled cargo discharge gate
Inventor: ELDER JOHN B
IPC: B65D90/62
Filed: 2002-08-21
Abstract: A basket gate mechanism including two opposed gate segments supported at its ends by pairs of different length arms interconnected by a mechanism that ensures coordination of the movement of the segments which are opened and closed by a double acting hydraulic cylinder, located between the gate ends. The cylinders provide three gate positions: closed, operating to discharge solids, and clean out, which considerably simplifies the equipment required for controlling the opening and closing of the gate. The gate opening is angled relative to the conveyor beneath it, so that the downstream end is further away than the downstream end. The linkage means supporting the gate segments is constructed to minimise torsional stress in the gate segments as a result of the trapezoidal opening resulting from the gate being angled. The downstream ends of the gate segments also include a pair of shear plates to control the level of the solids discharged onto the conveyor.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne plusieurs procédés et architectures fondés sur des systèmes microélectromécaniques (MEMS) dans lesquels on utilise des résonateurs micromécaniques vibrants dans des circuits pour effectuer des fonctions de filtrage, de mélange, de référence de fréquence et d'amplification. Un appareil est prévu pour sélectionner au moins une bande passante ou une voie désirée dans un sous-système d'émetteur de fréquence radioélectrique utilisant un groupe de dispositifs micromécaniques vibrants. Un des avantages principaux résultant de l'utilisation de telles architectures est lié à une diminution de la consommation d'énergie qui entraîne une sélectivité élevée (c'est-à-dire un facteur de qualité (Q) élevé). Par conséquent, la présente invention repose sur l'utilisation d'un grand nombre de liaisons micromécaniques dans des réseaux SSI pour assurer des fonctions de traitement du signal avec une consommation de puissance CC pratiquement nulle.

Title: Regulators of ppar.delta.(.beta.) and their use in the treatment of obesity and insulin resistance
Inventor: HARIHARAN NARAYANAN
IPC: A61K31/00
Filed: 2001-07-19
Abstract: Obesity is a common clinical problem in most developed nations and is also rapidly becoming a major health concern in developing nations. Overweight individuals frequently suffer from several metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia. This invention discloses proof of principle for the role PPA.delta. (also known as .beta.) plays in the development of diet-induced obesity. In accordance with the present invention, a new method for treating obesity, insulin resistance and hyperlipidemia through administration of a pharmaceutical composition containing a chemical agent that antagonizes the function of PPAR.delta.(.beta. protein, decreases PPAR.delta.(.beta. gene expression and or transactivation of PPAR.delta.(.beta. target gene expression is disclosed. This invention also proposes that obese, insulin resistant hyperlipidemic patients can be effectively treated with a combination of a PPAR.delta.(.beta. antagonist with either an antidiabetic agent or a lipid-lowering agent (or both).
