Abstract: Methods, devices and test kits for monitoring the ovulation cycle, involve testing the body fluid, e.g. urinary, concentration of one or more analytes.  Preferably estrone-3-glucuronide and luteinizing hormone are both measured, and a reference concentration for E3G is established at about day 6 of the current cycle. Preferably, disposable testing devices are used, in conjunction with a relatively permanent electronic reader/monitor. The number of "daily"  tests required per month can be minimised.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel colchicine derivatives of formula (1), where Y is a -CH2-CH-NH-R3 group or a -CH-CH2OR3 group and the other variables are as defined in claim 1, having antiproliferative, antitumoral and anti-inflammatory activities. The novel compounds have a cytotoxicity on human tumoral cell lines comparable with colchicine, but, in comparison with the latter, they are less toxic and more selective, particularly on cells resistant to the usual medicaments. Some compounds have a marked activity on TNF and interleukine 2, and therefore are very potent anti-inflammatory agents. They can be included in pharmaceutical formulations useful for the parenteral, oral and topical administrations.

Abstract: A primary stage optical switch assembly that is used in an optical fiber administration system where various levels of switching are used to interconnect an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) to individual optical fibers. The primary stage optical switch assembly contains an optical switch and a connector array disposed within a shelf structure. The shelf structure is sized to mount into one of the bays in the framework of the fiber administration system. The optical switch contained within the primary stage optical switch assembly is fabricated from electronic components and optical components. Most of the electronic components are manufactured as part of an electronic module. The optical components are manufactured as part of a separate optical module. Both modules mount within the shelf structure. However, the electronic module can be removed from the shelf structure without effecting the position of the optics module or the optical leads that extend from the optical module.

Granted: 2002-02-12
Abstract: A data management and distribution system for an electronic program guide ("EPG") for television programs comprising an automated data collection subsystem, a manual entry and correction subsystem, a database validation subsystem, an edition generation subsystem, a configuration subsystem, and a status and control subsystem. The system may further comprise a feed generation subsystem if one or more of the EPG providers supported by the EPG  distributor requires a live feed of data. The automated data collection subsystem collects EPG data from multiple sources in various formats, filters the data based on the needs of the EPG providers supported, and places the data in a centralized database in a form suitable to support the different environmental contexts of the EPG providers. The manual entry and correction subsytem permits the EPG distributor to make manual corrections, additions, and deletions to the data stored in the database. The database validation subsystem verifies the data stored in the database in accordance with designated verification options. The edition generation subsystem generates the different editions of the EPG for the different EPG providers supported by the EPG distributor. The configuration subsystem receives information from the various EPG providers and furnishes this information to the other subsystems which utilize the information in performing their respective tasks. The status and control subsystem monitors the operation of the data management and distribution system as a whole. The various feeds and editions are then transmitted to the EPG providers by, e.g., satellite, wire, cable, etc. The EPG providers receive the feeds and editions and use them provide one or both of a dedicated channel EPG and interactive EPG to subscribers.

Abstract: An anti-tamper shield for an integrated circuit (IC) includes a bond wire which passes through a protective layer such as an epoxy encapsulating layer of the IC. The bond wire carries a signal, such as a steady state current, which allows an active component of the IC, such as a secure processor, to function. The bond wire is carried within and/or proximate to the encapsulating layer such that a decapsulation of the IC will cause a rupture of the electrically conductive member, thereby rendering the processor non-functional. The bond wire may be coupled to the processor in a variety of configurations, including the use of internal or external bond pads, lead frame contacts, and/or directly to a computer board on which the IC is carried. A metallic shield layer may be located between the active component and a top portion, of the encapsulating layer to prevent a pirate from using an electron, microscope, for example, to survey the active component region.

Title: Fiber optics apparatus and method for accurate current sensing
Inventor: BLAKE JAMES N
IPC: G01R15/24
Filed: 1997-08-01
Granted: 2002-03-05
Abstract: A fiber optics sensor (10) and method for attaining accurate measurement are provided. A polarization maintaining optic fiber (22) forms a linear optical path. An optical element (40) is used to convert linearly polarized light waves to circularly polarized light waves which propagate along the optical path and pass through a sensing medium (32).  Because of external stresses and disturbances, the optical element (40) introduces light of the wrong state of polarization into the optical path. The result is a scale factor error in the measurement and an extra incoherent D.C. light detected at the detector (46). The presence and magnitude of the extra incoherent D.C. light is used to provide a normalizing factor to compensate for the scale factor error.
