Abstract: The present invention relates generally to copper salts of ion exchange materials that provide copper ions at levels suitable for use as an anti-infective agent. In certain aspects of the invention, copper salts of cellulose derivatives are provided. The copper salts of ion exchange materials may be formed using ether and ester derivatives of cellulose, such as carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), ethylcellulose (EC), methylcellulose (MC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose (HEMC), cellulose acetate, and cellulose triacetate. The present invention also relates to wound dressings having copper salts of ion exchange materials incorporated therein. The copper salts of ion exchange materials may produce an equilibrium of copper ions in a wound at a level that is therapeutically-effective for preventing infection. Wound dressings containing copper salts of ion exchange materials may be used in accordance with methods of reducing the incidence of infection in wounds such as lacerations, abrasions, and burns. The wound dressings may also be used in accordance with methods for preventing infections in long-term wounds, such as those formed at wound drain, catheter, and ostomy entry sites. In further aspects of the invention, copper salts of ion exchange materials may be used to carry out methods of killing microorganisms, and may optionally be used in conjunction with additional anti-infective agents.

IPC: H04L1/00

Abstract: A data processing apparatus maps symbols received from a predetermined number of sub-carrier signals of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) symbols into an output symbol stream. The data processor includes an interleaver memory which reads-in the predetermined number of data symbols for mapping onto the OFDM sub-carrier signals. The interleaver memory reads-out the data symbols on to the OFDM sub-carriers to effect the mapping, the read-out being in a different order than the read-in, the order being determined from a set of addresses, with the effect that the data symbols are de-interleaved from the sub-carrier signals into the output symbol stream. The set of addresses are generated from an address generator which comprises a linear feedback shift register and a permutation circuit. The linear feedback shift register has eight register stages and the permutation code forms, with an additional bit, a nine bit address. The address generator includes an offset generator operable to add an offset to the formed nine bit address, thereby providing an improvement in de-interleaving the data symbols for a 0.5K operating mode of an OFDM modulated system such as a Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard such as DVB-Terrestrial2 (DVB-T2). This is because there is a reduced likelihood that successive data bits which are close in order in an input data stream are mapped onto the same sub-carrier of an OFDM symbol.
