Title: Stannous oral care compositions
Inventor: BAIG ARIF A
IPC: A61Q11/00
Filed: 2006-10-02
Abstract: Disclosed are oral compositions comprising a stannous ion source, a polyvalent cation source and a mineral surface active agent, said compositions providing enhanced therapeutic efficacy derived from stannous fluoride and/or other stannous salt, including antimicrobial effects, control of breath malodor, control of dental plaque growth and metabolism, reduced gingivitis, decreased progression to periodontal disease, reductions in dentinal hypersensitivity and reduced coronal and root dental caries. The aforementioned benefits are provided along with significant improvements compared to conventional stannous containing compositions, including: 1) reduced levels of dental staining; T) reduced astringency thereby improving aesthetic characteristics of the compositions; 3) reduction in dental calculus formation, and 4) enhanced stability, bioavailability and thus, efficacy of stannous. The mineral surface active agents are agents that are substantive to mineral surfaces such as teeth and have chelating activity for polyvalent cations including stannous (Sn+2), zinc (Zn+2), copper (Cu+2), aluminum (Al+3), iron (Fe+2, Fe+3), strontium (Sr+2), calcium (Ca+2), barium (Ba+2), magnesium (Mg+2), and manganese (Mn+2). Preferred mineral surface-active agents include polymers or copolymers containing phosphate, phosphonate, or carboxy groups. The compositions may also comprise a fluoride ion source and may be formulated as single phase or dual phase compositions.

Abstract: An electromagnetic sensing apparatus comprising an electromagnetic transmitter, at least one receiver device, at least one calibration device, a switch and a processing means. The electromagnetic transmitter generates a transmitter signal. The receiver device is spaced from the transmitter, senses a receiver local electromagnetic field proximate thereto and generating a receiver signal. The calibration device senses a calibration local electromagnetic field proximate thereto, generates a calibration signal. The calibration device is positioned such that the distance between the transmitter and the receiver device is greater than the distance between the transmitter and the calibration device. The switch is connected between the receiver device and the calibration device. The processing means includes a first input for receiving a signal from one of the receiver signal and the calibration signal and a second input for receiving a signal from the switch. The processing means compares the first input and the second input and monitors distortions in the transmitter signal.

Title: Methods and systems for local, computer-aided translation incorporating translator revisions to remotely-generated translation predictions
Inventor: SCHURIG JOACHIM
IPC: G06F17/22
Filed: 2007-11-16
Abstract: A method for local, computer-aided translation using remotely-generated translation predictions includes the step of receiving, by a remote translation memory, at least one portion of a document for translation. The remote translation memory determines, prior to receiving a request for a translation of a second portion of the document, that a translation of the at least one portion is useful in translating the second portion, or in translating a second document. A local machine generates a translation through reuse of a received translation of the first portion of the document. In another aspect, the local machine generates a translation of the second portion of the document through reuse of a locally- stored, alternate version of the translation of the first portion of the document. In still another aspect, the local machine generates a translation of the second portion of the document through reuse of an updated version of the translation.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne la fourniture d'une gestion de point d'accès distribué permettant l'accès à un réseau mobile. À titre d'exemple, une application d'interface gérée sur une station de base (BS) de femto-cellule peut faciliter la mise sous tension initiale et/ou l'acquisition pour un terminal utilisateur (UT) femto. Au démarrage, un procédé d'amorce est utilisé par la femto cellule pour fournir à l'UT une SDL établissant au moins une BS comme hautement prioritaire dans une zone géographique particulière (GEO). Ainsi, lorsque l'UT femto se trouve dans la GEO, l'UT est plus susceptible d'acquérir, de s'appuyer et/ou de transférer vers la BS préférée. Lorsqu'il se trouve en dehors de la GEO, un point d'accès de service peut fournir à l'OTA de l'UT femto une SDL personnalisée adaptée à une autre GEO ayant un autre point d'accès hautement prioritaire. En appliquant la gestion du point d'accès aux points d'accès distribués, il est possible de limiter ou d'éviter de l'équipement réseau onéreux.

Abstract: The present inventors succeeded in isolating GWT1 (PfGWT1), which is one of the enzymes involved in GPI biosynthesis in the malaria parasite P. falciparum. In addition, the inventors revealed that degenerate mutant DNAs, with a lower AT content than the DNA encoding the PfGWT1 protein, can complement the phenotype of GWT1-deficient yeast. Based on the findings, the present invention provides the GWT1 protein of malaria parasites and the use of the protein in methods of screening for antimalarial drugs. The present invention also provides degenerate mutant DNAs encoding proteins involved in GPI biosynthesis, and which have a lower AT content than the original DNAs.

Abstract: In a roof system, a top coat of lightweight insulating concrete is anchored to an underlying base slurry coat of lightweight concrete and a metal, gypsum, tectum or concrete roof deck by installing anchoring devices at spaced intervals. The anchoring devices may be made of plastic, steel or aluminum and include a threaded shank extending upwardly from a base plate. The anchoring devices are installed by fastening the base plates to the underlying roof deck structure or by setting the base plates in the lightweight base concrete slurry coat so that the threaded shanks of the anchoring devices extend upwardly through holes in EPS board insulation and into the subsequently applied top coat of lightweight insulating concrete. The base plate and threaded shank effectively anchor the attachment of the lightweight insulating concrete top coat to the underlying base slurry coat and roof deck to enhance resistance to wind uplift forces.
