Title: Transplantation of Sertoli cells
Inventor: SANBERG PAUL R
IPC: A61K35/48
Filed: 1996-03-13
Abstract: The transplantation of Sertoli cells, particularly with a view to the treatment of neurological disorders such as Huntingdon's, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, is described. In a rat model, methods for the preparation of Sertoli-cell enriched fractions and the transplantation of these cells into the brain in the striatum ipsilateral to the substantia nigra are disclosed. In addition, the Sertoli cells are also co-transplanted with neural cells or adrenal chromaffin cells. Sertoli cells were tagged with latex beads or fluorescent dyes which enabled their histological localisation. It is considered that growth factors and immunosuppressive factors derived from Sertoli cells facilitate allograft acceptance.

Title: Arbitration between requests for accessing a shared resource uses dynamic priority scheme
Inventor: BELL PETER
IPC: G06F13/18
Filed: 1998-05-19
Abstract: Arbitrating between requests from a plurality of sources, A-D, for access to a shared resource such as a memory, 12. Register means 6 has a plurality of stages 16, each stage containing a designation of one of the sources A-D, and a plurality of stages containing a designation of the same source. The stages have an inherent order of priority, e.g. stage 0 having the highest priority, stage 9 the lowest. Comparators 4 compare the stage designations with access requests from the sources A-D on lines 2. If one or more matches are achieved, multiplexor 8 causes access to be granted to the source corresponding to the highest priority stage of those which were matched. Subsequent to access grant, the register stage designations are changed, e.g. by cyclically rotating the contents through the stages. Thus the priority scheme can be changed dynamically, and if a particular source has a large memory bandwidth requirement, more register stages may contain a designation of this source as opposed to the other sources.
