Abstract: The invention relates to a parison for producing a receptacle used for holding liquids for medical applications, especially for holding infusion solutions or enteral nutrient solutions. The invention further relates to a method for producing such receptacles as well as such a receptacle. The parison according to the invention comprises a neck part (1) with an opening (1A), a wall part (2), and a bottom part (3) and is characterized in that one end of a section (5B) of an annular suspension device for suspending the receptacle is molded onto the underside of the bottom part (3).  The free end of said section (5B) can be connected to the underside of the bottom part (3) such that the section (5B) is deformed and the annular suspension device is formed.  First, the parison is produced, whereupon the receptacle is formed from the parison by means of a drawing and blow molding process. Preferably, the parison is produced in an injection molding process. It is crucial that the section of the annular suspension device is not yet connected to the bottom part to form the annular suspension device when the parison is injection-molded, resulting in a simplified injection molding process for producing the parison.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing cancerous disease modifying antibodies (CDMAB).  Anti--bodies generated in mice, upon immunization with malignant cells of human lung adenocarcinoma tumour tissue are screened for cytotoxicity against a variety of cancer cell lines. An anti-cancer cytotoxic monoclonal antibody (mAb) is isolated, produced by the hybridoma AR1 04A1666.2.8 deposited with IDAC as Accession Number 181207-01, which is cytotoxic to human lung cancer cell lines, and reduces tumour burden in a human breast cancer xenograft model. The mAb also binds to several cancer cell lines but is not cytotoxic in a non-cancerous cell line. This mAb can be used to treat primary tumours and tumour metastases. This mab can be conjugated to toxms, enzymes, radioactive compounds, and hematogenous cells.

Title: Method and system for incorporating music into a video game using game parameters
Inventor: COLLINS KAREN E
IPC: A63F13/00
Filed: 2010-12-17
Abstract: The invention describes a method of incorporating a player's music selection into a video game using game parameters and affective analysis of the music. Affective properties of music are determined using music file meta-data and audio extraction techniques that compare musical elements to a database of musical traits, including but not exclusive to tempo, harmony, melodic contour, timbre and instrumentation. Players can recommend music for specific games or game events, or use recommendations of others, through a social network. Players can rank selections and share rankings over the social network. An algorithmic generative engine may make songs or sequences of songs to accompany player's music, assist in transitions, and add extra layers or time to selected music.
