Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a polyfunctional active substance mixture with anti-inflammatory, spasmolytic and anti-stress action comprised of a fraction of specific peptides with molar weights of up to 10,000 dalton and/or of a fraction of essential and non-essential amino acids, and the polyfunctional active substance mixture is obtained from a multifactorial immune-modulator mixture serving as an antagonist against the harmful substances contained in tobacco smoke with a health-protecting function during the smoking of tobacco products. It is preferably applied in the form of an inhalant (adhesion principle, atomization) and leads to the amelioration, elimination and prevention of inflammations of the mucous membranes, of regulatory disorders of the organ systems with smooth muscles (blood vessels, bronchial system, esophagus, bladder, stomach, intestines, etc.), of the myocardial function as well as of the central and peripheral nerve systems that are induced by the harmful substances contained in tobacco smoke.
Patent EP-1399963-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SEXTON GREG
IPC: H01L21/205
Filed: 2002-06-05
Abstract: An electrostatic chuck suitable for use at high temperatures having a replaceable expansion assembly, functioning as an outer tubulation and heat choke, between a chuck body and a heat transfer body. The expansion assembly accommodates differential thermal stresses between the chuck body and the heat transfer body, and/or limits direct heat conduction from the chuck body to the heat transfer body. The ability to operate the chuck at temperatures in excess of 200° C. allows it to be used for plasma etching of materials, such as platinum, which require high temperatures to volatilize low volatility etch products as well as routine plasma etching, chemical vapor deposition, sputtering, ion implantation, ashing, etc. The novel design of the removably attached expansion assembly allows the chuck to be scaled for larger workpieces, to remain serviceable through more heating cycles, and to be economically serviced.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode et un système de mesure des modifications de l'activité cérébrale d'un individu au moyen de méthodes d'imagerie cérébrale fonctionnelle, pour les besoins d'une enquête, par exemple pour détecter et évaluer si un individu est sincère ou malhonnête, et/ou si un individu possède une connaissance antérieure d'un certain visage ou d'un certain objet. La présente invention allie les récents progrès dans le domaine de l'imagerie cérébrale médicale, les sciences informatiques et les neurosciences afin de créer une méthode rigoureuse et objective de détection de la tromperie et de la connaissance antérieure dissimulée, fondée sur une analyse informatisée des mesures directes de l'activité cérébrale. En appliquant le paradigme développé à partir du modèle de la tromperie, et en l'appliquant à un individu visualisant des informations médiatiques (par exemple des films ou messages audiovisuels, ou des annonces publicitaires), on utilise les données obtenues pour interpréter l'effet desdites informations sur l'individu. Cela permet la manipulation efficace du contenu des segments médiatiques afin d'atteindre un impact maximal voulu dans des populations ciblées ou sur des individus spécifiques

De préférence, cette transformation de Radon est appliquée dans des limites de lenteur prédéfinies pmin, et pmax, pmin étant une lenteur minimale prédéterminée et pmax étant une lenteur maximale prédéterminée, et un facteur de pondération de décalage xn est appliqué sur les données d'amplitude, 0 < n < 1. De préférence, une transformation de Radon à résolution élevée est utilisée, la transformation étant effectuée selon un indice j de l'ensemble de lenteur et une variable d'échantillonnage ? p; dans la formule (1) ?p étant compris entre environ 0, 5 et 4, 0 µsec/m, pmax étant une lenteur prédéterminée maximale, et pmin étant une lenteur prédéterminée minimale.

Abstract: A method for the differentiation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from irritable bowel disease (IBS) followed by distinguishing ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease from other gastrointestinal illnesses. This highly differential method first uses the presence of elevated lactoferrin as a marker of intestinal inflammation to differentiate IBD from IBS. Patients suspected of IBD are then analyzed for fecal anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA) as an indicator of Crohn's disease and fecal anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) as an indicator of ulcerative colitis. IBD patients are further monitored for intestinal inflammation using fecal lactoferrin to evaluate the effectiveness of medical therapy and to predict relapse. The apparatus comprises either a qualitative enzyme-linked immunoassay or other immunoassay that utilizes antibodies specific to human immunoglobins for the measurement of total endogenous lactoferrin, ASCA and ANCA in human feces. The method and apparatus can be used by healthcare providers to identify IBD and distinguish ulcerative colitis from Crohn's disease.
