Abstract: This invention is a metered dose inhaler pump (10) for delivering a metered dose of an active compound from an active compound inlet (14) through a spray outlet (16) without the need of a pressurized active compound container.  Reciprocating action of an inlet valve (40), an outlet valve (42), and a plunger (20) alternatively draw a method dose of the active compound from an active compound container into an active compound chamber which pressurizes the drawn metered doses of the active compound to eject the metered dose through the spray outlet (16). The plunger (20) substantially fills, and evacuates the metered dose chamber, leaving no void head space therein.

Title: Improved irradiation catheter and method of use
Inventor: TEIRSTEIN PAUL S
IPC: A61M25/10
Filed: 1999-02-19
Granted: 2005-01-04
Abstract: The invention is a catheter (10) for use with a radioactive source (16) within the catheter (10) to irradiate a selected area of a blood vessel in combination with angioplasty procedures, to prevent restenosis of that area of the vessel. The catheter (10) has a guidewire channel (18) formed near its distal end to facilitate use of the cather (10) as a rapid exchange catheter, allowing insertion of the catheter (10) over a guidewire (20). The catheter (10) has a radiation lumen (14) with a sealed end to retain the radioactive source (16) within the catheter (10). The radiation lumen (14) is sufficiently longer than the guidewire channel (18), keeping the radiation source (16) segregated from the blood, allowing the use of a non-sterile radiation source. The catheter (10) can be provided with a balloon (22) or a set of wire loops (50) to center the radioactive source (16) radially within the blood vessel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer system comprising a visual display for displaying data in a shared interactive sectorial graph, wherein said system allows a user to modify the input parameters of the sectorial graph in order to carry out a dynamic modification of the graph configuration. The shared sectorial graph can be divided into two sections or more each corresponding to another period. Each section is divided into a plurality of blocks each corresponding to different variables and to their corresponding values, e.g. in two different periods. The graph itself is finally arranged geographically on the graphic image of a map. Between the computer system and the data recording system, an interface is provided for transmitting data to be converted into a graphic representation of the sectorial graph. The user modifies the input parameters of the sectorial graph through a user's interface that translates the modifications into questions addressed to the databank recording system in order to retrieve the corresponding data.

Abstract: To provide a process for patterning an ITO film, which is capable of preventing, for patterning an Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO) film by using a chemically amplified resist, resist peeling or reduced adhesion even if the ITO film is exposed to a white light after resist development. An amorphous ITO film is first formed on a substrate, and a negative chemically amplified resist is directly provided on the film, exposed and. developed. In a resultant structure having a resist pattern on the amorphous ITO film, even if exposed to a white light, no resist peeling or no reduced adhesion occurs, and thus satisfactory visual inspection can be performed without adversely affecting subsequent steps. For the structure determined as a good product by visual inspection, the amorphous ITO film is etched through the resist pattern used as a mask, the resist pattern is removed, and then by heating the amorphous ITO film at the ITO crystallization temperature or higher, the crystallized ITO pattern having chemical resistance and good electrical conductivity can he obtained.</SDOAB >

Abstract: Methods for assessing the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and other related disorders include obtaining an NMR derived reference spectrum for a known glucose concentration sample and storing this information as a reference standard. A patient blood sample is collected and NRM derived patient spectrums for the blood sample are obtained.  The two NMR data sets (the reference and the patient) are compared and a glucose concentration is determined for the patient sample.  The glucose concentration can be evaluated with a blood sample undergoing lipoprotein cholesterol evaluation. The NMR based test can be used to concurrently provide a glucose concentration and lipoprotein constituent values based on a single testing event. The disclosure also includes a multi-purpose test, i.e., a test which concurrently provides lipoprotein screening and coronary heart disease risk evaluation along with a diabetes screening and risk assessment for developing Type 2 diabetes.
