Inventor: ALMEIDA FERNANDO CARVALHO
IPC: A62D101/04
Filed: 2001-09-10
Abstract: The present invention relates to a plasma process and equipment for eliminating toxic or hazardous organic compounds from different materials. The process and equipment can also be used to remove the hydrocarbons contained in the sludge formed at the bottom of petroleum storage tanks. The plasma process utilizes a plasma system for providing enough energy to the contaminated soil or sludge for the hydrocarbons to volatilize, keeping the temperature of the process between 400 and 900 ~C. The volatilized compounds after leaving the plasma reactor are collected in condensers, where the hydrocarbons can be recovered, in the form of a liquid hydrocarbon (oil). The contaminated material is continuously fed into the reactor from end, while the clean material is removed from the other end of the reactor. The atmosphere inside the plasma reactor is maintained neutral or reducing in order to prevent the oxidation of the hydrocarbons.

Title: Receiving terminal device and control method of receiving terminal devices
Inventor: SUGIURA FUYUHIKO
IPC: H04N5/45
Filed: 2001-02-09
Abstract: A receiving terminal device which provides to a TV audience a broadcasting radio wave from a broadcasting station as a program, which, when a first program that is being provided is switched to a second program, provides the second program and starts image-recording the first program, and which provides the recorded first program when the switched second program is switched back to the first program. In addition, the receiving terminal device, when the first program is selected again, follows up the recorded first program and reproduces it so that the recording and reproducing position of the first program can catch up with a position in which the first program is being broadcast by the broadcasting station. Accordingly, a broadcasting service without a loss in program contents viewing can be implemented even when a program selection is switched.

Abstract: Peptide, smaller than 30, preferably 20, amino acids (aa), that binds specifically in vitro to type 2A protein phosphatase holoenzyme (PPA2), or one of its subunits, is new. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) polypeptide (Ia) comprising repetitions of (I); (2) polynucleotides (II) that encode (I), and multimers of (II); (3) cellular expression vector that contains (II) and regulatory sequences; and (4) purified, mono- or poly-clonal antibodies (Ab) that bind specifically to (I). ACTIVITY : Cytostatic; Virucide; Antiparasitic. No details of tests for these activities are given. MECHANISM OF ACTION : (I) induce apoptosis, especially of tumor cells, in a p53-independent manner.

Patent CA-2408377-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PETERSON DEAN MCCORMACK
IPC: A61M5/148
Filed: 2001-05-07
Abstract: An infusion system packaged in a light weight nylon potable mesh container, which is also the pump of the system, included a removable therapy bag holding the Rx to be infused into the patient. A bladder within the pump is inflatable to provide pressure onto the therapy bag to aid in the discharge of the Rx.  When filling the therapy bag, the pharmacist, using his computer to comply with standards, simultaneously programs an EPROM with data specifying the Rx as well as instructions for dispensing the Rx. In one embodiment of the invention, the EPROM fits into a docking receptacle in the pump, while in a second embodiment the EPROM is integral with the therapy bag. A microcomputer mounted in the pump is programmed to control the flow of the Rx to the patient, reading the data from the EPROM in generating the control signals.  The microcomputer cyclically drives a fluid control module which outputs a fixed amount of Rx for each cycle of operation. Three fluid control modules are disclosed; a cavity which deliver a bolus of Rx for each rotor rotation, or a shuttling longitudinally displaceable "cork" positioned in the output connector of the therapy bag, or a squeezed tube. Flow is monitored, and alarm interrupts to the microcomputer are provided for flow failure generating appropriate alarms. An alarm shuts down system operation and alerts the patient by means of visual messages on the microcomputer display and by an audible alarm. A buffer memory in the pump stores data relevant to such a mishap for later examination to determine responsibility and cause. Data is tied to a real-time clock (date and time).
