Title: Liver fat accumulation inhibitory composition, food additive for liver fat accumulation inhibition, and method of inhibiting liver fat accumulation
Inventor: NODA TSUNEYUKI
IPC: A23L1/30
Filed: 1998-08-31
Abstract: A method of inhibiting liver fat accumulation which comprises administering a conjugated linoleic acid homolog to a mammal or making the mammal ingest it; and liver fat accumulation inhibitory composition characterized by containing an effective amount of a conjugated linoleic acid homolog together with a support for medicinal preparations or foods.      The administration or ingestion of CLA inhibits the total lipid content and the triglyceride content in the liver from increasing, and hence can effectively prevent diseases attributable to fatty liver, such as chronic hepatitis and hepatic cirrhosis.

Patent CA-2304715-A1 (CA)
Title: Highly-available cluster configuration database
Inventor: SLAUGHTER GREGORY L
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 1998-10-01
Abstract: The cluster configuration database is a distributed configuration database wherein a consistent copy of the configuration database is maintained on each active node of the cluster. Each node in the cluster maintains its own copy of the configuration database and configuration database operations can be performed from any node. Configuration database updates are automatically propagated to each node in a lock-step manner. If any node experiences a failure, the configuration database uses a reconfiguration protocol to insure consistent data in each node of the cluster. The cluster configuration database uses a two-level consistency update framework to insure consistent data among the nodes. Each local configuration database uses a self-contained consistency record to uniquely identify and stamp each copy of the configuration database. The consistency of each individual copy of the configuration database can be verified from the consistency record. Additionally, the cluster configuration database uses a two-phase commit protocol to guarantee the copies of the configuration database are consistent among the nodes. Cluster operations may be performed from any node in the cluster. Cluster operations include restore, checkpoint, update, query and consistency checking. Because each node maintains a local copy of the configuraion database, configuration database queries are local operations and can be performed in parallel among the nodes. Update operations are global operations that involve each active node of the cluster. The cluster configuration database uses a global locking mechanism that implements single write/multiple reader semantics.
Patent CA-2305049-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KOMAREK ANDREW J
IPC: G01N33/06
Filed: 2000-04-12
Abstract: A method for simultaneous analysis of individual samples for crude fat content. This method utilizes a process of encapsulation of a sample in filter media and the batch processing of numerous samples in one vessel. The method involves the quantitative encapsulation of a sample in a filter media. Multiple samples are subsequently extracted in batch with a suitable solvent, under controlled temperature and pressure conditions. The quantitative determination of crude fat is accomplished by measuring the difference between the residue remaining in the filter media and the weight of the original sample. This method greatly improves the efficiency of crude fat determinations and allows the processing of numerous samples simultaneously saving analytical time.
Patent CA-2305945-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAMMERT AMY
IPC: A23L9/10
Filed: 2000-04-18
Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-layered, dessert product, such as a pudding product, made from a gel having a continuous aqueous phase and a dispersed colloidal oil phase. The dessert product has at least one layer that contains a natural, oil soluble colorant, preferably dispersed in the oil phase. The products are formed of a layer containing a first colorant and an adjacent layer containing a second, different colorant. The multi-layered gel-based dessert products are made by introducing a gel-based dessert product containing the first colorant into the bottom of a transparent container to form a first layer and then introducing additional gel-based product containing the second colorant into the container to form a second layer on top to the first. The resulting multi-layer product exhibits reduced color migration between the two layers.

Patent CA-2313013-A1 (CA)
Title: An instruction decoder
Inventor: ROOS TOBIAS
IPC: G06F9/318
Filed: 1998-12-02
Abstract: In a computer system the instruction decoding unit for translating program instructions to microcode instructions operates dynamically. Thus the unit receives state signals indicating the state of the computer, such as a trace enabling signal (63), influencing the translation process in the instruction decoding unit. These state signals (63) are added to the operation code (65) of the program instruction to be decoded, the operation code of the program instruction thus being extended and used as input to a translating table (55), the extended operation code of the program instruction being taken as an address of a field in the table. The addresses and thus the contents of the fields addressed for the same operation code of a program instruction can then be different for different values of the state signals. Thus generally, the state signals cause the instruction decoder to change its translating algorithm so that the decoder can decode an operation code differently depending on the state which the signals adopt. The dynamic decoding can for a trace enabling signal be used for switching on and off a trace function. In the normal case, when tracing is not desired, no microinstructions supporting the trace function have to be executed and thereby the performance and in particular the speed of the computer system will be increased.

Title: Branch line monitoring system and branch line monitoring method
Inventor: KANAMORI HIROO
IPC: H04B10/071
Filed: 1999-02-05
Abstract: The present invention relates to a branch line monitoring system and branch line monitoring method comprising a configuration which improves the S/N ratio of measurement information and can be realized inexpensively.      This system is provided with optical filters which correspond to optical fiber lines to be monitored as branch lines. These optical filters each have such a cutoff characteristic as to cut off respective one channel of monitor light but transmit therethrough the remaining monitor light and signal light.      When the optical filters having such a cutoff characteristic are provided, each of the optical fiber lines is monitored by use of a plurality of channels of monitor light other than the one cut off by the optical filter provided so as to correspond thereto. Consequently, as compared with the case where one optical fiber line is monitored by its corresponding one channel of monitor light, the S/N ratio of measurement information is improved, whereby highly accurate monitoring is possible.
