Filed: 2004-06-18
Abstract: The test strip (10) includes a base substrate (12), a spacing layer (14) and a covering layer (16) comprising body cover (18) and chamber cover (20). The spacing layer (14) includes a void portion (22) to provide a sample-receiving chamber (24) extending between the base substrate (12) and the covering layer (16). The base substrate (12) carries an electrode system (26) including a plurality of electrodes (28) and electrode traces (30) terminating in contact pads (32). The electrodes are defined as those portions of electrodes traces (30) that are positioned within the sample-receiving chamber (24). A suitable reagent system (33) overlies the electrodes within the sample-receiving chamber. The body cover (18) and the chamber cover (20) overlying the spacing layer (14) define a slot (34) therebetween, the slot defining a vent opening communicating with the sample-receiving chamber to allow air to escape the chamber as a sample fluid enters the chamber from the edge opening or fluid receiving opening (35). The test strip therefore includes a dosing end (36) and a meter insertion end (38).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a rim hole (20, 26, 30) in hollow profiles (1), wherein a tubular piece (9) in pushed into the hollow profile (1) and is placed therein in such a way that it coaxially encompasses the spot of the rim hole (20, 26, 30) to be produced. The hollow profile (1) is then impinged upon from the outside towards the inside in said spot by means of a tool thus forming the rim hole (20, 26, 30). In order to make it possible to produce a rim hole (20, 26, 30) in hollow profiles (1) in a relatively easy manner, wherein said rim hole complies with high rigidity requirements even if the wall thickness of the hollow profile (1) is small, two opposite holes (8) are initially punched out from the hollow profile (1), at least one of said holes having a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the rim hole (20, 26, 30) to be produced. The tubular piece (9) is then inserted into the interior (17) of the hollow profile so that it comes to rest coaxially in relation to the common axis (10) of the holes (8). The hollow profile material of the hollow profile section (18, 23, 29) located between the edge (12) of the hole and the inner side (16) of the tubular piece (9) is drawn in until it rests flatly on the inner side (16) of the tubular piece (9) in the interior (17) of the hollow profile using at least one punching tool (7, 13).

Title: Method for treating adamts-5-associated disease
Inventor: XIANG JASON SHAOYUN
IPC: C12N9/50
Filed: 2004-11-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating ADAMTS-S-associated diseases and particularly osteoarthritis comprising administering an agent capable an of modulating ADMATS-5 activity to a subject afflicted with the disease. The agent is preferably a biaryl sulfonamide compound. The invention is based, in part, on the discovery that transgenic animals that do not express functional ADAMTS-5 show a reduction in the degree of osteoarthritis after the induction of osteoarthritis as compared to WT animals. Furthermore, the ADAMTS-5 transgenic animals have reduced aggrecanase activity in articular tissue as compared to WT animals. These animals aye good models for ADAMTS-S-associated diseases, and for screening of drugs useful in the treatment and/or prevention of these diseases. These are no other animal models in which the deletion of the activity of a single gene is capable of abrogating the course of osteoarthritis. Accordingly, these animals also show that osteoarthritis can be prevented and/or treated by administering to a subject an ADAMTS-5 inhibitory agent and particularly an agent A0@0ble of inhibiting the aggrecanase activity of ADAMTS-5. Figure 1 illustrates the targeted disruption of the murine ADAMTS-5 gene.

IPC: H04N5/225
Filed: 2006-06-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus for real-time polarization difference imaging (PDI) video including an imaging lens focusing the light on to a collimating lens, whereby the stimulus beams becomes parallel before striking a polarizing beam-splitter.  Segregated orthogonally polarized components of the stimulus are then focused on imaging sensors, and one sensor's output signal is subtracted from the other, thereby creating a real-time polarization difference video image. The efficiency of such a system is greatly enhanced by illuminating the target with a polarized light source (with a polarization orientation matching one of those used in the PDI process), and PDI-enhanced targets can be constructed with surface features and textures optimised to result in a maximum return signal strength and spatial contrast.
