Abstract: The present invention can be used for actual implantation surgery without a scaffold. The present invention provides a synthetic tissue or complex which can be produced by culture and has a high level of differentiation ability.  The present invention also provides a therapy and medicament for repairing and/or regenerating tissue using replacement and covering. By culturing cells under specific culture conditions such that medium contains an extracellular matrix synthesis promoting agent, the cells are organized and are easily detached from a culture dish. The present invention was achieved by finding such a phenomenon. In addition, the self contraction of the tissue can be regulated by culturing the tissue in a suspended manner. Therefore, it is possible to regulate the three-dimensional shape of the tissue. The present invention also provides a method for producing an implantable synthetic tissue which does not require a plurality of monolayer cell sheets assembled to form a three-dimensionally structured synthetic tissue. The present invention is characterized by richness in adhesion molecules, nonnecessity of additional fixation at an implantation site, and good biological integration.

Title: Oximeter cross-talk reduction
Inventor: SHEA WILLIAM
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2005-02-24
Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing cross-talk in an oximeter. The oximeter includes a band pass filter. The amount of cross-talk through the band pass filter is estimated. Based on this estimate, the corner frequencies of the band pass filter are adjusted when it is designed to minimize the cross-talk.  In one embodiment, a calibration mode is performed when a sensor is attached to the oximeter. In the calibration mode, the signals are measured with first only the red LED on and then with only the IR LED on. Any signal measured in the off channel is assumed to be a result of cross-talk from the other channel. The magnitude of the cross-talk is determined as a percentage, and subsequently the percentage is multiplied by the actual signal and subtracted from the other LED signal as cross-talk compensation.

Abstract: The invention provides a malleable pseudonym certificate system and method for a communication network. According to one embodiment of the invention, a user acquires a root proof from a trusted entity, generates one or more pseudonym certificates based on the root proof, and sends anonymous public keys each equipped with one pseudonym certificate to verifiers. Through use of the pseudonym certificate, the verifier believes that the user's anonymous public key is certified by the trusted entity. The pseudonym certificate contains no information by which the verifier can figure out the real identity of the user. With the malleable pseudonym certificate system, the trusted entity needs only certify once for the user's root public key. The user can generate by him or herself mass anonymous public keys where each anonymous public key is equipped with a distinct pseudonym certificate.
