Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110081392Shampoo Compositions - The invention relates to a granulated personal care shampoo comprising a shampoo composition comprising at least one surfactant agglomerated with a water-soluble, water-dispersible or water-insoluble solid particulate carrier. Preferably, the shampoo composition additionally contains a conditioner preferably comprising an organopolysiloxane. The granulated shampoo of the invention can dissolve readily with formation of shampoo foam in hot or cold water, and can be perceived as soft in the dry state, free flowing state and providing a pleasant feel on the skin. The granulated shampoo can be packaged in various types of biodegradable packaging such as paper (environmentally more friendly than plastic sachets) to form a stable package which do not deteriorate on storage.04-07-2011

20090197911LONIDAMINE ANALOGUES AND TREATMENT OF POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE - Lonidamine derivatives can be useful in methods of treating, inhibiting, and/or preventing polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Accordingly, lonidamine derivatives can be administered in a therapeutically effective amount for inhibiting, and/or preventing polycystic kidney disease (PKD) in the subject. This can include administering a therapeutically effective amount of the lonidamine derivatives for inhibiting CFTR and/or Hsp90 or biological pathway thereof. Also, the method can include administering the lonidamine derivatives in a therapeutically effective amount for inhibiting ErbB2, Src, Raf-1, B-Raf, MEK, Cdk4, NKCC1, or combinations thereof. For example, the therapeutically effective amount of the lonidamine derivatives can be configured so as to provide a concentration in or adjacent to a kidney cell of about 0.25 uM or more or less.08-06-2009
20110082098NOVOBIOCIN ANALOGUES AND TREATMENT OF POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE - Novobiocin analogues are useful in methods of treating, inhibiting, and/or preventing cyst formation in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in a subject. The disclosure provides methods of treating ADPKD comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a coumarin-3-carboxamide novobiocin analogue. Accordingly, the method can include administering a novobiocin analogue in a therapeutically effective amount for reducing levels of mTOR pathway phosphoproteins P-mTOR, P-Akt and P-S6K, or combinations thereof. Further, the method can include administering a novobiocin analogue in a therapeutically effective amount for reducing levels of Hsp-90 client proteins CFTR, ErbB2, c-Raf and Cdk4, or combinations thereof.04-07-2011

20100099391VOICE TICKETING - The invention relates to a method and a system for performing an e-commerce transaction between a user and a provider for a service or product by using a wireless communication terminal comprising a contactless reader. The method comprises the step of receiving a transaction request from the communication terminal, the transaction request being initiated by the contactless reader reading primary information about the service or product from an information tag. The transaction request contains also user information retrieved from the secure element. Next, a speech based dialog is initiated with the user through the communication terminal based on the transaction request, resulting in secondary information about the service or product. Next, a transaction is initiated, based on the primary and secondary information. Finally, a confirmation message may be sent to the communication terminal or to the provider.04-22-2010

20100284081INTEGRATED LENS BARREL - An integrated lens barrel for a miniature camera is disclosed. The lens barrel can include components such as a shutter, an autofocus mechanism, a zoom mechanism, and/or an image stabilization mechanism. These and/or components can define a portion of the lens barrel that increases the length of the lens barrel. An electrostatic MEMS actuator can be used to effect movement of the autofocus mechanism, zoom mechanism, and/or image stabilization mechanism. Integrating the shutter, autofocus mechanism, zoom mechanism, and/or image stabilization mechanism into the lens barrel facilitates the construction of a substantially smaller camera that is suitable for use in personal electronic devices, such as cellular telephones.11-11-2010
