Abstract: The invention relates to a structural closure (19) consisting of a casement (2) and at least one wing which can pivot in the casement (2), having a frame in which is fitted a fireproof glass pane (15) or the like, in which the casement (2) and/or the frame consists of two aluminium sections (4, 5; 9, 10) secured together with the interposition of the fireproof glass pane (15) or the like. Despite the use of light metal, e.g. aluminium or the like, adequate temporary fire-resistance in the event of a fire in a structural closure (1) also having a bulkhead is obtained in that fireproof panels (6, 16) are fitted between the aluminium sections (4, 5; 9, 10) of the casement (2) and the frame and between the casement (2) and the wings, and between the frame and the fireproof glass pane (15) or the like fitted in the frame, there are components (21) which expand on heating which, on being heated, form a fireproof bridge between the fireproof components.

Abstract: Human protein C and activated protein C were shown to bind to endothelium specifically, selectively and saturably (Kd=30 nM, 7000 sites per cell) in a Ca<SUP>2+</SUP> dependent fashion. Expression cloning revealed a 1.3 kb cDNA that coded for a novel type I transmembrane glycoprotein capable of binding protein C. This protein appears to be a member of the CD1/MHC superfamily. Like thrombomodulin, the receptor involved in protein C activation, the endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR) function and message are both down regulated by exposure of endothelium to TNF. Identification of EPCR as a member of the CD1/MHC superfamily provides insights into the role of protein C in regulating the inflammatory response, and determination of methods for pharmaceutical use in manipulating the inflammatory response.

Abstract: Procédé consistant à appliquer deux couches de matériaux différents sur les surfaces extérieures d'un instrument. La première de ces couches sert à isoler au moins la surface principale de l'instrument, alors que la deuxième donne une indication de la durée de vie utile probable dont dispose encore la couche isolante. Les caractéristiques des deux couches sont choisies les unes par rapport aux autres de façon que lorsque l'aspect visuel de la deuxième couche évolue jusqu'à un point prédéterminé, les qualités isolantes de la première couche restent satisfaisantes tout en approchant le point où l'instrument aura épuisé sa durée de vie utile, ce qui donne immédiatement une indication visuelle passive du moment où cet instrument sera à remplacer.

Abstract: A catheter system is provided for accessing the coronary ostia transluminally from a peripheral arterial access site, such as the femoral artery, and for inducing cardioplegic arrest by direct infusion of cardioplegic solution into the coronary arteries. In a first embodiment, the catheter system is in the form of a single perfusion catheter with multiple distal branches for engaging the coronary ostia. In a second embodiment, multiple perfusion catheters are delivered to the coronary ostia through a single arterial cannula. In a third embodiment, multiple perfusion catheters are delivered to the coronary ostia through a single guiding catheter. In a fourth embodiment, multiple catheters are delivered to the coronary ostia through a single guiding catheter which has distal exit ports that are arranged to direct the perfusion catheters into the coronary ostia. In each embodiment, the catheters are equipped with an occlusion means at the distal end of the catheter for closing the coronary ostia and isolating the coronary arteries from the systemic blood flow. The occlusion means can take the form of an inflatable occlusion balloon cuff, a tapered occlusion device or an O-ring encircling the distal end of the catheter. An optional ventricular venting catheter can be included in the system for venting blood and fluids from the left ventricle of the heart. The catheter system is combined with a femoral-to-femoral cardiopulmonary bypass system to provide a system for cardioplegic arrest and total cardiopulmonary support during minimally invasive cardiac surgical procedures.

Abstract: This device blocks a melt, esp. of plastic in a tube, by the novel use of a cooling zone through which the melt flows. This is established by cooling pipes (12, 35) so spaced and directed, that on cooling the melt, it bridges (14, 15) solidly, to form a complete blockage transverse to the flow. Pref. on the side of approaching flow the cooling pipes are developed with a roof shape, where the solidified bridges (14, 15) wedge themselves. On the downstream side they may have a similar shape. To allow melt flow, a heating medium is supplied to the cooling pipes. The arrangement immediately precedes the nozzle plate, the nozzle of which may be closed by their own slide.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods for controlling and monitoring access to network servers. In particular, the process described in the invention includes client-server sessions over the Internet involving hypertext files. In the hypertext environment, a client views a document transmitted by a content server with a standard program known as the browser. Each hypertext document or page contains links to other hypertext pages which the user may select to traverse. When the user selects a link that is directed to an access-controlled file, the server subjects the request to a secondary server which determines whether the client has an authorization or valid account. Upon such verification, the user is provided with a session identification which allows the user to access to the requested file as well as any other files within the present protection domain.
