Title: Pharmaceutical use of graptopetalum and related plants
Inventor: HSU SHIH-LAN
IPC: A61K36/752
Filed: 2005-08-29
Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising Graptopetalum and uses thereof. Graptopetalum can protect animals from liver diseases and medical conditions, such as inflammation, steatosis, and fibrosis. In particular, Graptopetalum inhibits proliferation of activated hepatic stellate cells, which play a pivotal role in liver fibrosis. Graptopetalum also has anti-fibrosis activities as well as inhibits proliferation of lung fibroblasts. Therefore, in addition to being a prophylactic and therapeutic agent for the liver, Graptopetalum is useful against fibrosis or inflammation of tissues or organs other than the liver, in particular lung, kidney, and bladder. Other plants in the family of Crassulaceae, particularly Echeveria, have similar effects as Graptopetalum.

Inventor: CARLSON MARK
IPC: G06F40/211
Filed: 2006-06-29
Abstract: A parse/build engine that can handle multi-format financial messages. The engine converts the different format messages into a common format, and the common format message is then processed by the business service application. A  parser examines the message and determines an appropriate schema for the particular format of message received. The schema is a data structure in a schema registry that includes a grammar structure for the received format as well as pointers to handlers for converting the different fields of the message into the internal message format using the grammar structure (the "grammar" can include field sequence, field type, length, character encoding, optional and required fields, etc.). The handlers are individually compiled.  As formats change, new formats or changes to old formats can be dynamically added to the parse/build engine by loading new schema and handlers.

Abstract: A mechanism (1000) for classifying logs based on a combination of transit time technology and resonance-based technology is provided. Pressure impulses are applied to a log (4) so as to produce acoustic waves in the log. Acoustic measurements are performed using transit time technology and resonance-based technology, respectively, to obtain a maximum and an average impulse velocity, respectively, of the log. The log quality is evaluated based on the different impulse velocities, forming a radial impulse velocity gradient of the log. The quality algorithm can include a combination of MOE and radial wood gradients to improve the accuracy further. Other parameters, such as log shape, weight, temperature, may also be included. The system can utilize impulses separated in space and time, where differences in impulse velocities between transmitter-receiver paths reflect internal wood defects. The log is classified (and sorted) using criteria or thresholds dependent on the log quality.
