Patent CA-2314919-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GANAN CALVO ALFONSO
IPC: F02M43/04
Filed: 1998-12-16
Abstract: The present invention provides aeration methods using spherical gas bubbles having a size on the order of 0.1 to 100 microns in size. A device of the invention for producing a monodispersion of bubbles includes a source of a stream of gas which is forced through a liquid held under pressure in a pressure chamber with an exit opening therein. The stream of gas surrounded by the liquid in the pressure chamber flows out of an exit orifice of the chamber into a liquid thereby creating a monodispersion of bubbles with substantially uniform diameter. The bubbles are small in size and produced with a relatively small amount of energy relative to comparable systems. Applications of the aeration technology range from oxygenating sewage with monodispersions of bubbles to oxygenation of water for fish maintenance.

Title: Regulation of hematopoietic stem cell differentiation by the use of human mesenchymal stem cells
Inventor: THIEDE MARK A
IPC: A61P19/00
Filed: 1999-06-08
Abstract: The invention relates to the induction of hematopoietic stem cells to differentiate into osteoclasts by culturing hematopoietic stem cells with human mesenchymal stem cells, and, in a preferred embodiment, using no exogenous cytokines. Differentiation of the mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts inhibited the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells into osteoclasts. In addition, hematopoietic stem cells can be genetically engineered to carry genes of interest particularly for the expression of physiologically active proteins. In the presence of mesenchymal stem cells, the transduced cells carry the new genetic material and express gene products that can be used to modulate bone resorption.

Abstract: Cette composition aux fins de l'alimentation d'animaux maritimes comporte de l'acide arachidonique (ARA) dérivé par voie microbienne ou de l'ARA sous forme d'un triglycéride. C'est un champignon, appartenant notamment au genre Mortierella, encore que la composition soit en elle-même exempte de cellules microbiennes, qui se prête le mieux à la production de l'ARA. Il s'est avéré que ces formes d'ARA stimulaient la croissance d'organismes marins et favorisaient leur pigmentation (crevettes et poissons) mieux que les formes correspondantes phospholipidiques d'ARA issu d'huile de poisson. Cet acide arachidonique peut se présenter sous la forme d'huile, par exemple comme une émulsion huile dans eau ou peut être administré dans un premier temps à des larves, des rotifères ou des nauplius, lesquels organismes sont eux-mêmes présents dans la composition en tant que nourriture "vivante" d'organismes plus importants.

Title: Planar transducer for measuring biomedical pressures
Inventor: O'SULLIVAN STEPHEN
IPC: G01L9/00
Filed: 1998-07-03
Abstract: A planar pressure transducer is disclosed which is useful for interposing between living tissue and a medical device that applies pressure to the tissue in order to estimate the pressure applied to a selected area of the tissue.  The planar pressure transducer comprises a pair of opposed plates between which the proximal ends of optical fibers and a deformable polymer structure are disposed. When the plates are subjected to a pressure acting normally to the plane of the plates an optical signal is obtained via the distal ends of the fibers and related to the pressure acting on the plates.

IPC: G01T1/24
Filed: 1999-10-21
Abstract: A shielding grid (44) constructed of a radiation absorbing material (46, 48) for use with an array of discreet, non-contiguous radiation sensors to protect such sensors from scattered radiation. The sensors each have a radiation sensitive area (11) with a width (Ws) and a length (W1). In designing the grid a prototile having a prototile width and a prototile length is developed. The prototile width is equal to the radiation sensitive area width divided by an integer, and the prototile length is also equal to the radiation sensitive area length divided by an integer. The prototile contains a motif contained solely within the prototile that forms a pattern when a plurality of prototiles sufficient to cover the array of discreet detector are arrayed contiguously. The grid is constructed with the radiation absorbing material in this pattern.
