Granted: 2005-07-12
Abstract: A medical lavage apparatus (10) for body cavities comprising a housing (20) having parallel irrigation and aspiration cylinders (28, 32) with captive plungers (24, 26) extending in bores thereof from a first end and pairs of check-valves (102, 106) positioned in parallel, smaller, offset cylinders located at second ends such that reciprocal movement of each plunger in each cylinder performs the function of a one-way pump. The plungers are held captive and aligned by guide-stops (90') proximally disposed in each cylinder. Each plunger comprises a seal (80) disposed at the distal end thereof which inhibits communication between the pairs of check-valves in each cylinder when the plunger is fully seated in the cylinder. Novel jam-free dome shaped, slit check-valves (230) are disposed to be the pair of check-valves in the aspiration cylinder in one embodiment and in irrigation cylinders as well in other embodiments. The dome shaped valves are described for use in other medical fluid control applications, as well. A septum (50) formed of intersecting semi-circular-in-cross-section baffles (58, 60) joins the adjacent outer ends of the irrigation and aspiration check-valve cylinders so as to allow full fluid streams flowing from these outer ends to flow together at an angle. The septum and associated irrigation and aspiration check-valve cylinders are enclosed in a common exchange tube (22) which leads to a common patient tube connecting nozzle. A special patient tube securing attachment (97') is disposed on the connecting nozzle.

Abstract: La présente invention est un vecteur recombiné codant et exprimant au moins trois molécules costimulantes ou davantage. Le vecteur recombiné peut également contenir un gène codant un ou plusieurs antigènes cibles ou leur épitope immunologique. L'effet synergique de ces molécules costimulantes sur l'activation renforcée des lymphocytes T est démontré. Le degré d'activation des lymphocytes T à l'aide de vecteurs recombinés contenant des gènes codant trois molécules costimulantes a été de loin supérieur à la somme des constructions de vecteurs recombinés contenant une molécule costimulante et supérieur à l'utilisation de deux molécules costimulantes. Les résultats employant les triples vecteurs costimulants se sont avérés spectaculaires dans des conditions de rapports entre soit de faibles niveaux d'un premier signal, soit un stimulateur faible et des lymphocytes T. On a observé ce phénomène avec des lymphocytes T isolés à la fois CD4<+> et D8<+>. Les vecteurs recombinés de la présente invention sont utiles en tant qu'immunogènes et vaccins contre le cancer et des micro-organismes pathogènes, et pour obtenir des cellules hôtes, y compris des cellules dendritiques et des splénocytes présentant des fonctions renforcées de présentation d'antigène.

Abstract: A dicing tape (11) is adhered to the lower surface of a silicon wafer (1) that has pillar-shaped electrodes (6). The silicon wafer (1) is cut along dicing streets, thereby making trenches (12) among the chip-forming regions of the wafer (1). Next, a seal film (13) is formed. The seal film (13) is cut, substantially along the centerlines of the trenches (12). A support tape (14) is adhered to the upper surface of the seal film (13). The dicing tape (11) is peeled off. Then, those parts of the seal film (13) that project from the lower surface of the silicon wafer (1) are polished and removed. The support tape (14) is peeled off. IC chips are thereby obtained.      In each IC chip, the seal film covers and protects the upper surface and sides of the semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for making a substantially mechanical screen cylinder (P) with centripetal or centrifugal flow relative to an axis (R), comprising rings (A) arranged in planes perpendicular to the axis of revolution and wires parallel (F) to the axis of revolution rigidly linked to the rings, uniformly spaced, to screen a product. The invention is characterised in that the assembling of a wire (F) on a ring (A) comprises a first operation which consists in positioning of said wire (F) in a corresponding notch (EN) of the ring and a second operation wherein the wire is welded on the ring by melting a shoulder (EP1) of the ring without external metal input. Said method enables to produce a screen cylinder having improved mechanical properties increasing its life span, and at reduced cost, as compared to standard mechanical baskets.
