Title: Integrated beam shaper and use thereof
Inventor: FELDMAN MICHAEL R

Granted: 2003-06-25
Abstract: A substrate having an optical element on an input surface thereof receives a light beam not having a desired beam shape and shapes the light beam into a predetermined intensity distribution. The substrate may further include a second optical element for providing a predetermined phase pattern to the light beam provided by the first optical element. The first optical element may, for example, circularize an elliptical light beam using a soft aperture for differential power attenuation or by altering the divergence of the light beam along the different axes of the light beam. When the divergence angles are altered and the collimating optical element is provided on the output surface, the thickness of the transparent substrate is determined in accordance with a resultant difference in the divergence and/or with the initial difference in beam size along each axis and with a required circularity. A light source is mounted close to the first optical element in order to minimize the amount of differing divergence present along the different axes of the light beam. The optical elements may be diffractive, refractive, or hybrids thereof and are preferably prepared photolithographically on the substrate itself. The light source may be mounted using fiducial marks and the photolithographic processes for forming the optical elements may also use fiducial marks. All elements of the integrated beam shaper may be formed on a planar, wafer level.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process by which organic solvent-containing solutions are used in lieu of pure water for the preparation of cartilage extracts and fractions thereof. Different organic solvents have been tested for the preparation of extracts containing biologically active components possessing at least an activity against a matrix metalloprotease (anti-MMP). This invention also relates to a process by which a total liquid extract of shark cartilage composed of molecules having molecular weights less than about 500 kDa (0-500 fraction) is purified into two well separated fractions composed of molecules having molecular weights less than about 1 kDa (0-1 fraction) and between about 1 to 500 kDa (1-500 fraction). In order to prevent the formation of aggregates, to improve the dissolution and the stability of active components, sucrose or other stabilizing agents can be added. The 0-500 fraction, the 0-1 fraction and the 1-500 fraction as well as their equivalents containing 1% w/v sucrose possess have anti-MMP and anti-tumor activities. The invention also provides a component which has at least anti-MMP and anti-tumor activities, and which has a mass of 244 amu (atomic mass unit). The use of the above extracts, derived fractions or components for inhibiting MMP enzyme, neovascularization and/or metastase formation is also described.

Abstract: A bicycle seat assembly having a functional surface area comprising a main support surface region and a center tactile surface region. At the center tactile surface region there is a raised center surface portion and outwardly facing side tactile surface portions to engage upper rear and side thigh surface portions of the person. There are right and left and primary support zones spaced on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis to support the right and left ischial-tuberosities of the person who is in a seated pedaling position. The forward support surface portions on opposite sides of the center tactile surface region are contoured so that the leading edge thereof has an upward and rearward slope. The seat is arranged to accommodate 95% of the adult population in the U.S., and enables the cyclist to operate effectively in the seated pedaling mode, the seated non-pedaling mode and the stand-up pedaling mode. The seat provides proper support and hygienic safety by alleviating a load bearing relationship between the lower center body portion with the seat and yet providing for clearance, mobility, and comfort for the person.
