Abstract: The invention relates to the application of Vanilloid receptor (VR) 1 inhibitors for
drug development and for the treatment of HIV-mediated neuropathies and
neuropathic pain states. Further, the inventor identified a novel signaling cascade
connecting the HIV receptor CXCR4 to VR1. Thus, the invention provides molecular
evidence that HIV-mediated pain states - initiated upon binding of the virus to
CXCR4 - can be inhibited by VR1 antagonists blocking the final execution of the
CXCR4NR1 pathway. In addition, the invention demonstrates that present standard
therapies for HIV-mediated pain (which do not include VR1 inhibitors) can not
interfere with the CXCR4/VR1 pathway thus explaining inefficient patient treatment
in the clinics.

Inventor: UEJIMA HIROKAZU
IPC: H01M8/02
Filed: 2003-08-20
Abstract: Conductive polymer films are formed on the surfaces of
a substrate made of a metal material by, preferably, electrolytic
polymerization. Alternatively, passive-state layers are
formed on the surfaces of a substrate and conductive polymer
films are formed on the passive-state layers. It is desirable
to form groove-like gas flow passages by bending the substrate
before the execution of electrolytic polymerization or the
formation of passive-state layers. In the electrolytic
polymerization, it is desirable that electrolysis be performed
by using the substrate as an electrolytic polymerization
electrode. Therefore, a metal separator having conductive
polymer coatings that are superior in contact resistance and
corrosion resistance can be obtained. The manufacturing cost
of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell can be reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for delivering manganese from
a lubricant source into a fuel combustion system or to the exhaust therefrom. By the present
invention, manganese from the lubricant will interact with phosphorus, sulfur, and/or lead from
the combustion products. In this manner, the manganese scavenges or inactivates harmful
materials which have migrated into the fuel or combustion products, and which can otherwise
poison catalytic converters, sensors and/or automotive on-board diagnostic devices. The present
invention can also lead to improved durability of exhaust after treatment systems.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur l'étalonnage d'un sphygmo-oxymètre servant à déterminer de manière non invasive la teneur dans le sang d'un sujet d'au moins deux substances photoabsorbantes. Pour arriver à une solution prenant en compte l'influence des effets dus aux tissus sur l'étalonnage du sphygmo-oxymètre, on effectue des mesures initiales de caractérisation pour un sphygmo-oxymètre étalonné dans des conditions nominales, puis, sur la base de ces mesures, on établit les caractéristiques nominales décrivant les conditions dans lesquelles l'étalonnage nominal a été défini, et on mémorise les données de référence relatives aux caractéristiques nominales. On effectue alors des mesures in-vivo sur les tissus vivants, et, sur la base de ces de ces mesures et des données de référence mémorisées, on détermine les modifications des caractéristiques nominales induites par les tissus. Ainsi, les variations, propres au sujet, des mesures in-vivo sont-elles compensées par la correction de l'étalonnage nominal en fonction des modifications induites par les tissus.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de turbine à gaz conçu pour empêcher une élévation soudaine de température lors d'un changement de vitesse tel qu'au moment du démarrage et ainsi éviter une réduction de la durée de vie du dispositif de turbine à gaz. Ce dispositif comprend une unité de commande de vitesse de rotation, une unité de commande d'accélération, un sélecteur de signaux faibles et une unité d'actionnement d'ouverture de soupape. L'unité de commande de vitesse de rotation reçoit une vitesse de rotation courante et une vitesse de rotation cible prédéterminée d'une turbine et traite ces vitesses pour sortir un signal de commande indiquant un degré d'ouverture d'une soupape de commande de combustible pour animer la turbine d'un mouvement de rotation à la vitesse de rotation cible. La vitesse de rotation cible est définie en tant que fonction croissante monotone convexe vers la bas prédéterminée, dont une variable est le temps écoulé pendant une période de démarrage par rapport à une caractéristique nominale. Le moyen de commande d'accélération reçoit une valeur d'accélération de traitement courante et une valeur d'accélération cible prédéterminée et traite ces valeurs pour sortir un signal de commande indiquant une ouverture de la soupape de commande de combustible pour faire passer l'accélération de la turbine à l'accélération cible. Le sélecteur de signaux faibles reçoit les signaux de commande des moyens de commande de vitesse de rotation et d'accélération et sélectionne le signal de commande indiquant le degré d'ouverture le plus faible. L'unité d'actionnement d'ouverture de soupape actionne automatiquement la soupape de commande de combustible en réponse au signal de commande sélectionné.
