Abstract: Accommodations for a magnetically levitated rotating system in an RTP chamber (100) are provided. The system includes a magnetically permeable rotor (113); a cylindrical thin wall concentric (129) with and surrounding the rotor; and a magnetic stator assembly (127) adjacent the cylindrical thin wall. The radial distance between the rotor and the magnetic stator assembly is small enough that a magnetic field created by the stator assembly magnetically levitates the rotor but is great enough that the rotor does not physically contact the thin wall upon thermal expansion. The system is such that the relative positions of a plurality of sensors (101, 157, 103) which determine the position of a rotating frame is maintained upon dismantling. Thermal isolation of the area including the rotor is accomplished from the reactive gases in a processing area (163) of the RTP chamber. The rotor may be cooled by a number of cooling chambers formed within the chamber.

Abstract: A recombinant lentiviral vector expression system comprises a first vector that comprises a nucleic acid sequence of at least part of the Equine Infectious Anemia Virus (EIAV) genome. The vector contains at least one defect in at least one gene encoding an EIAV structural protein, but is preferably a gag/pol expression vector. The expression system further comprises a second vector, also comprising a nucleic acid sequence of at least part of the Equine Infectious Anemia Virus (EIAV) genome, and additionally containing a multiple cloning site wherein a heterologous gene may be inserted. The expression system also comprises a third vector which expresses a viral envelope protein. The first and third vectors are packaging signal-defective. When the expression system is transfected into a lentivirus-permissive cell, replication-defective EIAV particles may be produced, which particles are useful in delivering heterologous genes to a broad range of both dividing and non-dividing cells.

Abstract: An insole device configured to fit the profile of the human foot to promote proprioceptive stimulation of the golgi tendon organ. The midfoot section of the insole device has an asymmetric domed structure that is presented to the plantar aspect of the foot at a location found to be the anatomical apex of the foot's arch system. The asymmetric domed structure displays physical properties to catalyse muscle group balancing by using the body's proprioceptive feedback mechanisms. The asymmetric domed structure displays physical properties such that it does not provide functional bracing or support to the plantar aspect of the foot. The net result will be a more structurally sound foot capable of more energy efficient and less injury inducing use. The plantar aspect of the insole or midsole device is characterized by a dominant cavity having the ability to receive and interchange the biofeedback catalyst and the many forms therefore, as well as being characterized by provisions to ensure proper and permanent placement of the catalyst.

Abstract: In a method for negotiating service configuration in a communication system having at least one dedicated channel which is not shared by communication devices in the communication system, a request message indicative of a proposed service configuration is generated in a service negotiator (20). The request message is multiplexed, in a multiplexer (22) coupled to the negotiator (20), with an information data signal to produce a multiplexed signal. The multiplexed signal is encoded in an encoder (24) interposed between the multiplexer (22) and a transmitter (26) in accordance with a service configuration selected by the service negotiator (20). The multiplexed and encoded signal is transmitted by the transmitter (26) over the dedicated channel. Received signals are decoded a decoder (16) interposed between a receiver (14) and a demultiplexer (18). A response message indicative of a response to the proposed service configuration is received by the receiver (14). A determination is made by the service negotiator (20) whether the response message is indicative of a mutually acceptable service configuration. The encoder (24) is directed by the service negotiator (20) to encode the information data signal in accordance with the proposed service configuration if the response message is indicative of an acceptable service configuration. The encoder (24) is directed by the service negotiator (20) to encode the information data signal with a universal default service configuration if the response message is not indicative of an acceptable service configuration.
