Abstract: A network element (500) for routing a calling name (CNAM) query message through a communications network (300, 400) includes a communication module (508) capable of receiving a CNAM query message from and transmitting the CNAM query message to a communications network (300, 400). A CNAM query routing information database (524) stores CNAM query routing information for at least one CNAM database (712, 720). A CNAM query routing address translation process (526) performs a lookup in the CNAM query routing information database (524) based on information contained in the query message and determines whether to route the query message to a national CNAM database (726) based on results from the database lookup.

Abstract: Therapeutic compounds and methods for modulating amyloid aggregation in a subject, whatever its clinical setting, are described. Amyloid aggregation is modulated by the administration to a subject of an effective amount of a therapeutic compound of the formula or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester, such that modulation of amyloid aggregation occurs. R1 and R2 are each independently a hydrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic or aryl group. Z and Q are each independently a carbonyl (C═O), thiocarbonyl (C═S), sulfonyl (SO2), or sulfoxide (S═O) group. “k” and “m” are 0 or 1, provided when k is 1, R1 is not a hydrogen atom, and when m is 1, R2 is not a hydrogen atom. In an embodiment, at least one of k or m must equal 1. “p” and “s” are each independently positive integers selected such that the biodistribution of the therapeutic compound for an intended target site is not prevented while maintaining activity of the therapeutic compound. T is a linking group and Y is a group of the formula -A X wherein A is an anionic group at physiological pH, and X is a cationic group.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'apport d'un agent thérapeutique dans un tissu combiné à un dispositif (2) d'implant. La substance thérapeutique est contenue de préférence dans un granule (14) qui peut être distribuée à l'intérieur du dispositif (2) après son implant. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le dispositif (2) d'implant comprend un corps en ressort en spirale souple, la spirale (4) présentant le diamètre et l'écartement adaptés pour contenir le granule (14) dans le dispositif (2) qui vont entrer en contact avec l'agent thérapeutique. Lors du traitement d'un tissu ischémique, notamment le myocarde, l'irritation mécanique du tissu provoquée par le dispositif (2) implanté peut contribuer à produire un effet angiogène. Par ailleurs, la cavité (18) ménagée dans le dispositif (2) permet le passage du sang qui irrigue la partie extérieure du granule (14) et se mélange à l'agent thérapeutique. Plusieurs systèmes de distribution servent à distribuer l'implant et le granule (14) de manière séquentielle ou simultanée.

Abstract: A balancing arrangement which is used to relieve or take up axial thrust in a multistage centrifugal pump, having a balancing device with at least one axial gap (8) and at least one radial gap (6,7) and in which a balancing flow is conducted through the gaps, and having an axial bearing which receives remaining axial thrust. Associated with the axial bearing is a cardanic ring (10) which serves to offset alignment errors. Highly reliable operation with only low leakage losses is achieved by configuring the balancing device such that a residual thrust in the direction of the suction side of the pump exists in all operating conditons and the cardanic ring is designed such that it is elastically deformed by the residual thrust and has a spring constant such that the axial gap (s) will close from a maximum width position when the pump is at rest to a minimum width position during operation while still avoiding contact between the surfaces which define the axial gap.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un système de codage d'un signal sonore (10) sous forme de plusieurs trains indépendants de trames (14, 15). A cet effet, pour créer les trames (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) on procède à un codage sinusoïdal puis on dispose la trame i dans le train i modulo le nombre de trains. L'invention concerne également un procédé et un système de reconstruction d'un signal sonore (23) par décodage de trames provenant de plusieurs trains (21, 22) en mode imbriqué, puis on se sert de l'information des trames environnantes pour reconstruire les trames manquantes. L'invention concerne aussi un système d'enregistrement et de restitution des signaux sonores par la mise en oeuvre des deux procédés précédents. En l'occurrence, dans des conditions normales, on mémorise les deux trains (31, 32) d'un signal codé, mais, en cas de faible capacité de mémoire sur le support (35), on ne mémorise que l'un des deux trains de signal codé, l'autre train des signaux codés existants étant écrasé. Il ne reste plus qu'à faire reconstruire par un décodeur (37) un signal sonore en se servant soit des deux trains, voire éventuellement uniquement du train restant correspondant à ce signal sonore.
