Title: Stent coating
Inventor: YANG DACHUAN
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2000-06-06
Abstract: A stent having a polymeric coating for controllably releasing an included active agent. The polymeric coating inl-cudes a blend of a first polymeric material, which if alone, would release the agent at a first, higher rate, and a second polymeric material, which if alone would release the agent at a second, lower rate over a longer time period. One stent coating utilizes a faster releasing hydrophilic polymeric material and a slower releasing hydrophobic material. One stent coating includes a blend of a faster releasing PLA-PEO copolymer and a slower releasing PLA-PCL copolymer. One active agent is Taxol. One use of the Taxol deliv-ering stent is to inhibit restenosis following angioplasty.

Title: Methods for the production of antibodies to specific regions of cyclosporine and cyclosporine metabolites
Inventor: NAICKER SELVARAJ
IPC: C07K19/00
Filed: 1999-10-08
Abstract: This invention relates to the production of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies to specific regions of cyclosporine (CSA) and/or CSA metabolites/derivatives. The reactivity of these polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies make them particularly useful for immunoassays for therapeutic dr ug monitoring (TDM). These immunoassays or TDM kits may include polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies to specific sites of CSA and/or CSA metabolites. These  kits may also include various combinations of polyclonal antibodies, polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies or a panel of monoclonal antibodies. Cyclosporine or CSA metabolite conjugate immunogens are prepared fo the immunization of a host animal to produce antibodies directed against specifi c regions of the CSA or CSA metabolite molecule. By determining the specific binding region of a particular antibody, immunoassays which are capable of distinguishing between the parent molecule, active metabolites, inactive metabolites and other structurally similar immunosuppressant compounds are developed. The use of divinyl sulfone (DVS) as the linker arm molecule for forming cyclosporine and cyclosporine metabolite protein conjugate immunogen s is described.

Title: Time-frequency differential encoding for multicarrier system
Inventor: HUBER JOHANNES
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 1999-09-14
Abstract: Method for transmitting blocks of data symbols via a transmission carrier divided into a plurality of parallel subcarriers spaced in frequency direction. The inventive method combines both differential encoding in frequency direction and differential encoding in time direction in order to combine the advantages of both modulation schemes. A first subset of data symbols, starting from a predefined primary subcarrier symbol position, is differentially encoded in frequency direction in order to provide primary subcarrier symbols for all subcarriers thereafter, the primary subcarrier symbols are differentially encoded in time direction with a second subset of the data symbols, thus providing secondary data symbols. Subcarrier vectors of subcarrier symbols are transformed into the time domain and transmitted via the transmission carrier. Further, a data value describing the transmission quality of the transmission channel may be periodically received via a returning channel. And the first subset of data symbols for encoding in frequency direction may be selected in accordance with these channel conditions. The channel conditions may include information on the extent of time variance of the transmission channel.

Filed: 2001-11-06
Abstract: A self-cleaning fuel oil strainer, coupled to a continuous fuel flow, that includes a pair of canisters, each having a cylindrical wedge wire fuel oil filter screen. An elongated brush running the length of the screen is disposed between two confining walls also running the length of the screen to form a chamber. A elongated partition, including two sets of apertures, is used, along with the elongated brush, to divide the chamber into two particulate dislodge chambers and a drain subchamber. A drain is in fluid communication with the drain subchamber. During cleaning, the drain is opened and the screen is rotated against the brush for liberating the particulate contaminants and a limited amount of fuel oil into the two dislodge subchambers. The particulate contaminants and the limited amount of fuel oil then pass through the apertures at a high velocity and into the drain subchamber which exits through the drain.  Alternatively, a reverse flow of clean fuel oil can be used in combination with the elongated brush, for dislodging the particulate contaminants from the fuel oil filter screen.  Finally, another variation of using a reverse flow of clean fuel oil for cleaning purposes is discussed whereby a stationary fuel oil strainer is disposed in a system that isolates the fuel oil strainer from the normal fuel oil flow during cleaning.

Title: Optical spectrum analyser
Inventor: MURGATROYD IAN JOHN
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 2000-02-16
Abstract: An optical spectrum analyser (10), receiving a multi-channel optical signal (12). The optical signal (12) is passed through an optical isolator (14) and a fibre coupler (16) to a tuneable optical filter. The tuneable optical filter comprises one or more fibre Bragg gratings (18) inscribed in a length of optical fibre. The optical fibre is mounted on a means operable to apply a variable strain to the fibre, to thereby tune the peak wavelength of the Bragg grating (18) over a desired wavelength range, the tuneable optical filter thereby reflecting each channel of the input signal (12) in turn. The detector (20) therefore detects a signal only if the input signal (12) contains wavelengths corresponding to the reflection wavelength of a grating (18).

Abstract: The Golf Ball Retriever is designed for the purpose of retrieving golf balls from golf course water hazards and other inaccessible areas either on or off golf courses proper.   The Golf Ball Retriever is a hand-operated system that consists of a series of interacting telescoping tubes and a retriever cup that affords two methods of retrieving golf balls.   The retriever cup contains three flexible horizontally oriented "teeth"  pointing inward from the inner wall of the cup body. Each "tooth" is positioned in such a way and made of such length that the distance from the tip of each "tooth" to the 180 degree opposite inner wall measures less than the outside diameter of a standard USGA approved golf ball. As the cup is placed over the golf ball and downward pressure is applied using a slight jiggling motion, the "teeth" bend upward thereby increasing the distance between each "tooth" tip and the corresponding inner wall 180 degrees directly opposite. As a result of this bending action, the golf ball passes into the body of the cup and once totally past the "teeth", the "teeth" snap back to their former horizontal position thereby trapping the golf ball for successful retrieval.   The retriever cup also contains a scoop as a built in feature on one side of the cup wall section.   The scoop is intended for use when soft, muddy or obstructed water hazard bottoms are encountered that will not readily accommodate golf ball retrieval. As the scoop is placed slightly to the right of the golf ball and a motion is employed combining a downward scooping action in a left wise direction, the golf ball is scooped into the cup. As the rotating scooping action continues the golf ball is retained in the cup without letting the golf ball slip through by means of the fully extended "teeth" as above described.   The interacting telescoping tubing section consists of several individual tubing sections that fit one inside the other. When the retrieval process starts, commencing with the smallest tubing section, the operator extends each subsequent section of tubing moving upward to the largest diameter tubing, extending each to the fully extended position until the desired length is attained. As each tubing section is extended, the operator applies a small amount of additional extension pressure until the small tubing stops all motion. As a result, each smaller section of tubing that is extended, lacks into place thereby preventing any rotational motion along the length of the telescoping assembly. This locking action eliminates the twisting of the assembly and ultimately the retriever cup thereby preventing any loss of the retrieved golf ball. Once the golf ball has been retrieved using one of the above methods the operator can collapse the telescoping tubing assembly. This is accomplished by pushing each section inward and sliding it into the next larger section. When the telescoping assembly has been fully collapsed to the desire overall length, the operator can regain possession of the retrieved golf ball by picking it out of the retriever cup.
