Title: Removable side bumper for motor vehicles with theft deterrent
Inventor: HOOPER GARY
IPC: B60R25/01
Filed: 1998-01-19
Abstract: A removable side bumper for a motor vehicle which may also act as a theft deterrent. It comprises an elongate flexible member which may be stretched across outwardly opening side doors of a motor vehicle. The elongate member should have a thickness to protect the side of the motor vehicle from bangs or scrapes from the side. The theft deterrent function of the device may be increased by providing a flexible steel core such as a cable within the elongate member. The device may also include a spring section at one or both ends of the elongate member to adapt the device to different sizes of motor vehicles. The device may be latched to the motor vehicle at each end. It may also be possible to add a mid-section comprising a flexible strap or cable to pass inside on of the doors. The free end of said strap or cable has a three dimensional object such as a ball to stop it being pulled out from the door.

Patent CA-2238486-A1 (CA)
Title: Stacking brick tower game
Inventor: GREBLER ROBERT K
IPC: A63H33/06
Filed: 1996-11-25
Abstract: One or more players build a collapsible tower from individual bricks. At least two types of bricks are used to build the tower, with the two types of bricks (for example square bricks and rectangular bricks) having different physical characteristics which interact to affect the stability of the tower and/or the ease with which a particular brick can be removed. Each layer of the tower may be formed from bricks having possibly similar physical properties, but with at least two adjacent layers of the tower being formed from different shapes, sizes and/or numbers of bricks. The different physical properties may also include weight, surface configuration and/or coefficient of friction, thereby rendering it easier or more difficult to remove certain types of bricks having a particular spatial relationship in the tower with respect to other types of bricks. Two or more types of tower building bricks may be packaged as a self-contained tower building game, or a set of non-rectangular bricks may be used to supplement an existing set of conventional rectangular tower-building bricks, thereby providing enhanced play appeal at a minimal expense. The tower of bricks may be built on a revolving turntable to enhance each player's access to all sides of the tower and/or to limit the time for each player to make his move, and the turntable is preferably provided with a level to provide a level base for the construction of the tower.

Title: Variants of vascular endothelial cell growth factor having antagonistic properties
Inventor: KEYT BRUCE A
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 1997-10-10
Abstract: The present invention involves the preparation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antagonist molecules comprising variant VEGF polypeptides which are capable of binding to and occuyping cell surface VEGF receptors without inducing a VEGF response, thereby antagonizing the biological activity of the native VEGF protein. Specifically, the variant VEGF polypeptides of the present invention comprise modifications of at least one cysteine residue in the native VEGF  sequence, thereby inhibiting the ability of the variant polypeptide to dimerize through the formation of disulfide bonds. The present invention is further directed to methods for preparing such variant VEGF antagonists and to methods, compositions and assays utilizing such variants for producing pharmaceutically active materials having therapeutic and pharmacologic properties that differ from the native VEGF  protein.
