Abstract: Compositions having a texaphyrin-lipophilic molecule conjugate loaded into a biological vesicle and methods for imaging, diagnosis and treatment using the loaded vesicle are provided. For example, liposomes or red blood cells loaded with a paramagnetic texaphyrin-lipophilic molecule conjugate have utility as a blood pool contrast agent, facilitating the enhancement of normal tissues, magnetic resonance angiography, and marking areas of damaged endothelium by their egress through fenestrations or damaged portions of the blood vascular system. Liposomes or cells loaded with a photosensitive texaphyrin-lipophilic molecule conjugate can be photolysed, allowing for a photodynamic therapy effect at the site of lysis. Availability of red blood cells loaded with a photosensitive texaphyrin-lipophilic molecule conjugate provides a method for delivering a photodynamic therapeutic agent to a desired site with a high concentration of oxygen. By presenting the agent in this way, it is expected that a patient will experience less toxicity.        00000

Abstract: According to the invention, a static charge is produced on the surfaces of the flat objects (2) arranged on top of each other by guiding said objects (2) through a field of direct current oriented essentially vertically to their main surfaces. This charge creates electrical forces of attraction between the surfaces of the objects and these electrical forces of attraction increase mutual bonding. This effect caused by static charging of the surfaces of flat objects arranged on top of each other is reduced or prevented for at least one or two surfaces forming a predetermined separating point, by treating this surface or these surfaces in advance with an anti-static agent (3). No concentration of charge can be built up on the treated surface or any concentration of charge which does build up is compensated very quickly, so that there is no increase in bonding at the separating point or the bonding is much slighter than between the surfaces which are not part of the separating point. Consequently, the objects at the separating point can be moved against each other with less force. The inventive method is particularly suitable for opening multi-surface printed products at specific points.

Abstract: La mise en oeuvre d'un système de notification d'écriture pendant une copie permet au processeur de données de gérer la fonction de copie de fichiers de données d'un sous-système à disque de mémorisation de données, de manière à économiser au maximum les ressources utilisées par le processeur de données. Cette tâche est accomplie par le système de notification d'écriture pendant la copie, qui détermine dans le sous-système de mémorisation de données le volume source et le volume cible, puis identifie leur capacité respective. Le système de notification d'écriture pendant la copie transfère ensuite vers le sous-système de mémorisation de données des données correspondant à l'affectation d'enregistrements pleine piste du DASD depuis l'emplacement source dans le sous-système de mémorisation; il transfère également des enregistrements pleine piste du DASD depuis l'emplacement cible dans le sous-système de mémorisation. Le système de notification d'écriture pendant la copie commandé par le processeur utilise ensuite des programmes de canal ECAM pour donner au sous-système de mémorisation l'instruction d'effectuer l'opération de copie de fichiers de données en mettant en oeuvre des opérations de copie sélective par pointeur de piste. Une fois terminée l'opération de copie des fichiers de données effectuée par le sous-système de mémorisation, le système de notification d'écriture pendant la copie met à jour les méta-données requises pour terminer l'opération de copie de fichiers de données, et indique si la copie terminée présente ou non des conflits d'opération d'écriture relativement à la source ou au cible.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing acupuncture needles from sections of metallic wire to the end of one of which a section of metal tube is attached which forms a handle. Customary production methods do not lend themselves to automation and result in high production costs. To be able to produce acupuncture needles in a fully automated manner while continuing to meet all medical requirements the invention provides for a certain length of an end part of the wire section (10) to be pushed through the tube section (12) and to be bent to form a handle end (16), and for said tube section (12) to be pressed against the wire section (10) by radial pressure. Alternatively, after the end part of the wire (10) has been pushed through the tube section (12) said tube section is pressed radially against the end part of the wire and shaped into a radially expanded handle end by means of axial pressure. Both methods allow for the fully automatic production of acupuncture needles at a rate of at least 80 needles per minute using a production device which is easy to construct.

Abstract: The cluster configuration database is a distributed configuration database wherein a consistent copy of the configuration database is maintained on each active node of the cluster. Each node in the cluster maintains its own copy of the configuration database and configuration database operations can be performed from any node. Configuration database updates are automatically propagated to each node in a lock-step manner. If any node experiences a failure, the configuration database uses a reconfiguration protocol to insure consistent data in each node of the cluster. The cluster configuration database uses a two-level consistency update framework to insure consistent data among the nodes. Each local configuration database uses a self-contained consistency record to uniquely identify and stamp each copy of the configuration database. The consistency of each individual copy of the configuration database can be verified from the consistency record. Additionally, the cluster configuration database uses a two-phase commit protocol to guarantee the copies of the configuration database are consistent among the nodes. Cluster operations may be performed from any node in the cluster. Cluster operations include restore, checkpoint, update, query, and consistency checking. Because each node maintains a local copy of the configuration database, configuration database queries are local operations and can be performed in parallel among the nodes. Update operations are global operations that involve each active node of the cluster. The cluster configuration database uses a global locking mechanism that implements single write/multiple reader semantics.
