Patent CA-2659311-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MIZUKAMI MASATO
IPC: G02B26/08
Filed: 2007-08-20
Abstract: When light intensity at perturbation time is detected, an error arithmetic operation and correction unit (85) of a control unit (8) adjusts a tilt angle of a mirror in accordance with an operation amount to obtain the maximum value of light intensity from a perturbation operation amount and light intensity at each perturbation operation amount, i.e., an initial operation amount corrected and updated by a dynamic operation amount. Concretely, the error arithmetic operation and correction unit (85) calculates a phase difference (.theta.) between a cosine function to be mentioned below and a cosine or sine function used for setting X-axis and Y-axis perturbation patterns on the assumption that time-series data of obtained output light intensity can be approximated by the above-mentioned cosine function. The error arithmetic operation and correction unit calculates an operation amount of coordinates defined by the phase difference (.theta.) and polar coordinates of a radius amount for perturbing the mirror, calculates a voltage value of coordinates defined as a function for setting a driving voltage of the mirror (230), and sets it as a driving voltage for one output port.

Inventor: HOWE ANITA Y M
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2007-08-21
Abstract: The present invention provides methods of decreasing the frequency of emergence, decreasing the level of resistance, and delaying the emergence of a treatment-resistant Hepatitis C viral infection, by administering to a subject, either in combination or in series, an inhibitor of the Hepatitis C RNA-dependent RNA polymerase NS5B, e.g., a benzofuran, such as 5-cyclopropyl-2-(4- fluorophenyl)-6-[(2-hydroxyethyl)(methylsulfonyl)amino]-N-methyl-l- benzofuran-3-carboxamide (HCV-796), and at least one additional anti-Hepatitis C agent, e.g., a ribavirin product or an immunomodulator, such as an interferon product. Additionally, the invention relates to methods of monitoring the course of treatment of a Hepatitis C viral infection, methods of monitoring and prognosing a Hepatitis C viral infection, and methods of identifying an individual with a decreased likelihood of responding to an anti-Hepatitis C viral therapy. These methods use the sequence and/or structure of the Hepatitis C RNA- dependent RNA polymerase NS5B to identify the emergence of a treatment- resistant Hepatitis C viral infection, particularly a benzofuran (e.g., HCV-796) treatment-resistant Hepatitis C viral infection.

Title: Medicament dosage for inhaler
Inventor: STORZ MARKUS
IPC: A61K9/72
Filed: 2009-07-09
Abstract: The manual filling of vaporizable substances into the filling chamber of an inhaler by the user is suitable, in particular, for the requirements of a medical application only in limited circumstances. As a rule, there is the risk of an incorrect dosage.  Moreover, many patients are not at all capable of carrying out such a difficult task owing to their motor skills ailments or other conditions that render them disabled. Medical application therefore requires an economical form that has already been pre-dosed with the desired substance (medicament) by the pharmacist or the pharmaceutical company and that is a standardized single-use component. A dosage pad that has already been pre-dosed by the manufacturer ensures that the proper amount of medication is used. In particular, a dosage pad containing a medicament that is vaporizable by heat in an inhaler and that is effectual upon inhalation avoids the problems associated attempting to fill an inhaler manually with the correct dosage.

Title: Procedes et appareil pour une synchronisation de fichiers de donnees dans un environnement sans fil
Inventor: HOHLFELD MATTHEW
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2008-06-19
Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés, un appareil, des systèmes et des produits-programmes informatiques pour synchroniser de manière non filaire des fichiers de données qui sont stockés sur un dispositif sans fil et au niveau d'un dispositif de réseau, tel qu'un serveur de réseau ou une base de données. Les présents aspects proposent un procédé de synchronisation simplifié et efficace de sorte qu'une synchronisation peut être réalisée lors d'un seul trajet aller - retour d'une communication sans fil entre le dispositif sans fil et le dispositif de réseau. La synchronisation d'un seul trajet aller - retour d'un signal utilise moins de ressources réseau, présente en général des temps de cycle de synchronisation plus courts et réduit la probabilité de défaillances du réseau sans fil, telles que des pertes d'appel ou analogue, faisant que le procédé de synchronisation échoue. De plus, une simplification et une efficacité sont en outre réalisées en créant un procédé de synchronisation qui permet que le fichier de données du réseau soit indépendant des fichiers de données du dispositif sans fil, à savoir que le serveur de réseau ne demande pas tout un historique des changements et est le serveur de réseau nécessaire pour connaître la version des fichiers de données du dispositif sans fil.
