Abstract: The invention relates to the use as anti-cancer drug of a natural compound of vegetal origin, known as aloe-emodin (AE). Indeed, said compound has proved to have a specific biological activity of inhibition on the growth of neuroectodermal tumors, without evident toxic effects. The compound according to the present invention has also proved to be cell-specific and ti does not show any inhibition on the growth of other cell types such as for instance fibroblasts. This pharmacological profile, i.e. tumor-targeting and absence of toxicity, makes said compound particularly advantageous in the treatment of neuroectodermal tumors. Pharmaceutical compositions containing said pharmacological agent can therefore be usefully used in the treatment of the foresaid pathologies.

Abstract: The present invention provides for an improved airflow sensitive float valve interposed between the collection chamber and one arm of the water seal chamber for allowing the patient to draw as much vacuum pressure as is required during deep inspiration. The float valve also functions to provide for an automatic controlled release of excess negative pressure in the collection chamber during either continuous auto-transfusion or when there is a low airflow rate condition present. By tailoring a specific amount of water to a given size chamber, the water column inside the water seal chamber is allowed to momentarily engage the floating mechanism before the water seal chamber is emptied of water, and a column of air is subsequently forced through the water column towards the momentarily sealed valve.

Abstract: Dans le système de télévision par câble décrit dans la présente invention, des programmes sont mis à la disposition d'abonnés d'un quartier lorsque ces derniers en ont besoin. Précisément, quand un abonné, au moyen d'un décodeur, sélectionne un canal de programmes à regarder, la demande de sélection est transmise à une tête de réseau du système. En réponse à cette demande, un contrôleur situé dans la tête de réseau détermine si le contenu du canal de programmes sélectionné a été mis à la disposition de ce quartier. Si tel est le cas, le contrôleur indique au décodeur la porteuse qui contient le programme demandé, à laquelle le décodeur se syntonise pour obtenir le programme demandé. Dans le cas contraire, le contrôleur attribue le programme à une porteuse inutilisée, et informe le décodeur de l'identité de la porteuse nouvellement attribuée. Le contrôleur retire également les porteuses attribuées aux canaux de programmes qui ne sont plus regardés par les abonnés du quartier.

Title: Network maintenance

Granted: 2012-08-07
Abstract: A method of signalling in an AIN, in which in an SSP, the initial message of a new transaction is addressed to a Service Global Title (SGT). The SSP translates that SGT to a first address of the first choice SCP. The SCP responds with an acknowledgement message which has a second address of the SCP as its source address, and includes the Nodal Global Title (NGT) of that SCP. The SSP sends subsequent messages for that transaction addressed to that NGT, and the SSP translates that NGT to the second address of the SCP. When the SCP is taken out of service, the first address is made unavailable, so the SSP sends new initial messages to the second choice SCP, but subsequent messages for existing transactions may still be sent to the second address of the first choice SCP. When all existing transactions have ceased, the SCP is taken out of service.

Abstract: A child resistant package which includes a container having an open end and single or multiple threads on the external surface of the container adjacent the upper end. A closure having a peripheral skirt has an inner surface formed with single or multiple threads corresponding in number to the threads on the container for engaging the threads on the container. A deflectable release element is formed integrally on the container, The release element includes an integral axially deflectable lug extending upwardly toward the open end of the container. The closure has at least one locking lug on the skirt of the closure, the number of locking lugs preferably corresponding to the number of threads on the container and closure. The deflectable lug on the deflectable release element normally extends upwardly for engagement with the locking lug such that when the release element is pressed radially inwardly, the lug is disengaged from engagement with a locking lug and the closure can be removed by unthreading the closure from the container. When the closure is reapplied minimal torque is required due to the axial deflection of the deflectable lug and one of the locking lugs on the closure moves past the lug. In a preferred form of the child resistant package, the deflectable release element and container include interengaging stops to limit the deflection on the release element.

Abstract: A fluid control valve includes a valve body having both fluid inlet and discharge ports. A flow passage axially extending within the valve body communicates with the inlet and discharge ports. A valve member within the flow passage is movable by an actuator force in a first direction to direct a pressurized fluid from the inlet to the discharge port. The valve member includes first and second valve heads having different diameters and a valve seating member. The valve seating member engages first and second sealing diameters of the flow passage, the second sealing diameter being smaller than the first. Fluid pressure acting on the different diameters of the first valve head and valve seating member in contact with the second sealing diameter creates a net return force directing the valve member in a second direction opposite to the first direction upon removal of the actuator farce.
