Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU94/00104 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 27, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 27, 1995 PCT Filed Mar. 7, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO94/20821 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 15, 1997The present invention relates to a fluid flow arrangement where the effects of high order acoustic modes are suppressed in ultrasonic flow measurement. In one embodiment, ultrasonic transducers are arranged in a duct configured to carry a fluid. Ultrasonic signals between the transducers travel in a plurality of high order modes having velocities slower than a fundamental mode whose time of flight is desired to determine with accuracy. A measurement portion between the transducers is adapted to suppress the propagation of the non-fundamental modes.

Abstract: The present invention encompasses methods for reducing or inhibiting growth factor in cancer cells and tissues. More particularly immunogenic growth factor-containing compositions are administered to a human or animal with a cancer or tumor. The immunogenic compositions elicit the production of antibodies specific for growth factor which reduce the level of circulating growth factor, thus reducing or eliminating the proliferation of cancer. The present invention encompasses growth factor-containing liposomes and vesicles having portions of growth factor externally presented on their surfaces. The present invention also includes antibodies specific for growth factor. Thus, according to the present invention, growth factor levels are reduced either by active immunization of an individual using immunogenic growth factor-containing compositions or by passive immunization via administering to the individual an antibody or a group of antibodies specific for growth factor.

Abstract: An intraocular lens injector compresses an intraocular lens by rolling the lens into a tight spiral and injects the compressed lens though a relatively small incision in the eye, approximately 2-3 millimeters in length, resulting from a phacoemulsification procedure. The intraocular lens is inserted into a receiving channel of the injector in an uncompressed state and is urged into a cylindrical passageway. As the intraocular lens advances into the cylindrical passageway, the lens will roll upon itself into a tightly rolled spiral within the confines of the cylindrical passageway. An insertion rod is inserted into an open end of the cylindrical passageway and advances the compressed lens down the passageway. The insertion rod includes a cup shaped recess on the distal end of the insertion rod. The cup shaped recess cradles the haptic portion of the lens and enables a majority of the insertion force applied by the insertion rod to be directly applied to the optic portion of the lens. A venting system is also included in the insertion rod which vents out the excess visco-elastic lubricant, thereby reducing the buildup of compression forces which act on the lens during expulsion of the lens from the passageway and enabling a smooth insertion of the lens into the eye. As the lens exits the passageway and enters the eye, the lens will expand back to its uncompressed state.

Abstract: A stent for implantation in a coronary artery (1) is assembled from discrete modules (2) fashioned in a biocompatible material, each composed of two "C" shaped members joined at the ends by respective rectilinear and mutually parallel members (3a, 3b); the individual modules are linked together by a single helicoid element (4), likewise fashioned in a biocompatible material, which is coiled around the rectilinear members (3a, 3b) in such a way as to effect a closure of the modules, disposed one alongside another, in a direction parallel with their longitudinal axis (X). The modules (2) and the helicoid element (4) are plastically deformable both in the radial and in the axial dimension, so that the surgeon can vary the axial distribution of the modules internally of the blood vessel (1) and modify the ultimate configuration of the helicoid element (4). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A cooling system for an internal combustion engine includes two independently operated subsystems, one for the cylinder head of the engine and one for the engine block. The cylinder head cooling subsystem includes a pump for flowing a first coolant from a first reservoir through a first radiator and the cylinder head of the engine. A temperature sensor is provided for measuring the first coolant temperature in the cylinder head cooling subsystem, and a control module responsive thereto for regulating the flow of the first coolant circulated by the pump. The engine block cooling subsystem is physically and functionally independent of the cylinder head cooling subsystem and includes a reservoir filled with a second coolant in fluid communication with a second radiator and a control device for controlling the flow of the second coolant to the engine block. The engine block cooling subsystem operates through natural thermodynamic flow without the use of a pump.

Abstract: This method consists essentially in manufacturing dripper units (4) and attaching them longitudinally to a thread (16) by positioning them at intervals along the latter. For this purpose, the thread (16) is introduced into at least one notch (9) of the dripper unit (4) so as to clamp it. The width of the notch is less than the diameter of the thread. The thread fitted with dripper units is introduced into the tube (1) while the latter is being formed in an extruder so as to draw the dripper units (4) therein one after the other. The dripper units are then heat welded to the inner wall of the tube during its formation. The insertion of the thread (16) into the notch (9) is achieved via a wheel (18) onto whose the edge it is guided. In this manner, the whole method can be implemented continuously without any intermittent operations.
