Title: Improved puller apparatus
Inventor: FREEMAN TODD
IPC: B25B27/02
Filed: 2002-04-29
Abstract: An improved puller apparatus for pulling various articles, including automotive pitman arms, includes a puller frame having a base and at least one upstanding arm extending therefrom, the arms having inwardly extending gripping projections for transmitting pulling force to the article being pulled, the base having an aperture extending therethrough for receiving pushing means, which pushing means include an actuation means disposed at a portion of the pushing means proximal to the article being pulled, such that a user may engage the actuation means at a position within the puller frame to axially move the pushing rod against a relatively stationary interiorly disposed object around which the article to be removed is mounted. The pushing force applied against the interiorly disposed object creates a corresponding reaction force in a direction opposite the pushing force, which reaction force is transmitted to the article being removed via the gripping projections on the puller frame.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un modulateur de panneau plat. Ce modulateur comprend plusieurs éléments d'images ou pixels pouvant être modulés séparément, dans lesquels les éléments de modulation sont disposés sur le panneau, physiquement ou théoriquement, en carrés ou blocs (schématiquement illustrés en figures 53a, b, c) d'éléments de modulation individuels. Ainsi il existe un espace entre les carrés qui ne comporte aucun élément de modulation. Les lignes d'adressage peuvent être placées dans l'espace entre les blocs, réduisant ainsi la résistivité. En outre, la résolution optique du système optique de grossissement est bien meilleure lorsque la totalité du panneau est visualisée dans son ensemble. En outre, une image sans raccord peut être formée à l'aide d'un système optique approprié (51) entre les blocs du modulateur et un écran (52) et au moins certains blocs sont grossis.

Title: Method and system for bio-surveillance detection and alerting
Inventor: NEWHALL BRUCE K
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2001-03-23
Abstract: Background noise from relevant data sets, including for example over-the-counter sales data, absenteeism data, etc., is subtracted using a background estimation algorithm that outputs residual data. The effects of hypothetical anomalous events, such as a bio-terrorist attack, on the relevant data sets are modeled to create replica data. The replica data may be based on input from epidemiologists and various scenario templates including information on disease manifestation and other intelligence. The residual data and the replica data are then matched using a detector. Types of detectors include for example adaptive matched-filter detectors, change detectors and Bayesian Inference Networks. An alarm is triggered if a real anomalous event similar to a hypothetical anomalous event is detected. A Geographical Information System (GIS) may be used to display data from individual zip codes.

Filed: 2000-11-17
Abstract: Selon l'invention, une enzyme spécifique très purifiée dégradant le glycosaminoglycane, la chondroïtinase AC, et dans une moindre mesure la chondroïtinase B peuvent être utilisées dans le traitement de cancers métastatiques et d'autres maladies liées à l'angiogenèse. L'extraction enzymatique de sulfates de chondroïtine A et C, et dans une moindre mesure de sulfate de chondroïtine B de la surface cellulaire, permet de diminuer directement la capacité de cellules tumorales à envahir les vaisseaux sanguins, et d'empêcher par conséquent la formation de tumeurs métastatiques ou secondaires, d'inhiber la croissance de cellules tumorales, et de diminuer l'angiogenèse par inhibition de la prolifération des cellules endothéliales et de la formation de capillaires. La réduction de la formation de nouveaux vaisseaux sanguins dans la tumeur permet de diminuer le potentiel de croissance tumorale, et de diminuer la capacité de cellules tumorales à envahir le flux sanguin. Ces effets sont opposés aux effets pro-métastatiques de l'héparanase sécrétée par les tumeurs.

Abstract: An optical pulse pattern generator can generate optical pulse signals with various periods and patterns. It supplies an optical pulse from an optical pulse source to a variable optical delay line circuit including cascade-connected characteristic-variable asymmetrical Mach-Zehnder interferometers via an optical combiner and splitter. The optical pulse is fed back to the optical combiner and sputter from the final stages of the cascade-connected characteristic-variable a symmetrical Mach-Zehnder interferometers via an optical exclusive OR circuit and optical amplifier. Making directional couplers with variable coupling ratio, and directional couplers with variable coupling ratio in operation can cause the final stage of the cascade-connected characteristic-variable asymmetrical Mach-Zehnder interferometer to produce a random pulse train.
