Title: Methode de detection d'etats revelateurs d'une sepsie
Inventor: HEINECKE JAY W
IPC: G01N27/62
Filed: 2002-09-05
Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode permettant de détecter des états révélateurs d'une sepsie. Selon un mode de réalisation, une augmentation du taux de 3-chlorotyrosine ou de 3-bromotyrosine par rapport au taux normal, dans un échantillon de liquide organique ou de tissu, est révélatrice d'un début de sepsie ou d'infection. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le taux de 3-chlorotyrosine ou de 3-bromotyrosine est mesuré ou contrôlé pour déterminer la réponse au traitement thérapeutique de l'état infectieux pour lequel une réduction du taux mesuré avant le traitement est un signe ou une indication précoce que le traitement fonctionne in vivo. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, la méthode selon l'invention est illustrée par un modèle de sepsie de souris pertinent du point de vue clinique.

Title: Composition for lessening oxidative stress
Inventor: FUJII KENJI
IPC: A61K31/085
Filed: 2002-10-15
Abstract: It is intended to provide compositions whereby oxidative stress caused by active oxygen species, free radicals, etc. in vivo can be lessened to thereb y prevent the outbreak or worsening of diseases and yet a high safety can be achieved. It is observed that, by using compositions containing oxidation-ty pe coenzyme Q and/or reduction-type coenzyme Q, urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine level is lowered in normal and diabetic animals. Also, it is histopathologically confirmed that tissue denaturation caused by oxidative stress can be prevented thereby in diabetic rats. Thus, it is found out that oxidative stress in vivo can be lessened. That is to say, oxidative stress i n vivo can be lessened by using compositions containing coenzyme Q as the acti ve ingredient.

IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2003-01-10
Abstract: Methods and systems for parallel computation of an algorithm using a plurality of nodes configured as a Howard Cascade. A home node of a Howard Cascade receives a request from ahost system to compute an algorithm identified in the request. The request is distributed to processing nodes of the Howard Cascade in a time sequence order in a manner to minimize the time to so expand the Howard Cascade. The participating nodes then perform the designated portion of the algorithm in parallel. Partial results from each node are agglomerated upstream to higher nodes of the structure and then returned to the host system. The nodes each include a library of stored algorithms accompanied by data template information defining partitioning of the data used in the algorithm among the number of participating nodes.

Abstract: A safe and effective fish ladder for assisting fish in overcoming dams, especially in the upstream direction is described. The ladder comprises a series of relatively vertical open pools, which decrease in size in the upstream direction, the pools being conveniently spaced apart a vertical distance which may be easily jumped by the particular fish species of interest. By being arranged relatively vertically, so that the downstream perimeter of one pool is substantially within the downstream perimeter of the pool directly beneath the one pool, the fish ladder does not need to be long and expensive if the dam to overcome is high. Preferred pools in the fish ladder comprise both white-water areas, caused by water spilling over/spouting over the pool outer wall, and relatively calmer areas.
