Title: Blood lancet device for withdrawing blood for diagnostic purposes
Inventor: ARGAUER HERBERT
IPC: A61B5/15
Filed: 1994-06-10
Granted: 1997-10-21
Abstract: Blood   lancet  device   for  withdrawing  blood   for diagnostic purposes, comprising a housing (10), a lancet holder (11),  movable within the housing  (10),  for holding a lancet (4), and a lancet drive to drive the puncturing and retraction movement of the lancet holder (11). At its anterior end in the puncturing direction  the housing has  an  exchangeable skin-contact part (5) on which a contact surface (42)  is provided for pressing against the  skin when using the blood  lancet device (1). The skin-contact part (5) and the lancet (4) form a component of a disposable item (3) which is intended for once-only use and can be inserted at the anterior end (2) of the housing (10)  in a single handling operation,  said disposable item (3) being designed in such a way that the lancet (4) can be inserted only together with the skin-contact part (5).       In order to reliably prevent re-use of all parts of a blood lancet device which could come into contact with the patient's blood,  it is proposed that,  in the disposable item (3), the skin-contact part (5) and the lancet body (31) made of a plastic material are connected to one another,  and at the point of connection between the skin-contact part (5) and the lancet body  (31)  a  first predetermined breaking section  is envisaged by means of which the skin-contact part and the lancet body are separable from one another following insertion of the disposable item (3).

Abstract: A process for the cultivation in continuous culture of a filamentous microorganism in a culture medium to which are sup-plied sources of carbon and other appropriate nutrients. The carbon or another nutrient source is supplied in an amount limiting to the growth of the culture and constitutes a limiting nutrient thereto. The development of an unwanted variant of the filamen-tous microorganism is restricted or delayed by supplying a first nutrient source to the culture as a limiting nutrient, and thus changing the nutrient supply to the culture in a manner such that a second nutrient source replaces the first nutrient source as the limiting nutrient:

Patent CA-2139692-C (CA)
Inventor: QUIGLEY PETER A
IPC: B29C48/12
Filed: 1995-01-06
Granted: 1999-02-23
Abstract: The invention provides improvements to a composite member that has a plurality of plies. The improved composite member has (1) an interior ply which functions to dampen or resist sudden forces exerted on the composite member, (2) an intermediate load-carrying ply, and (3) an exterior abrasion-resistant ply.  These plies have multiple, often intertwined fiber components disposed or  imbedded with a matrix  material, preferably  Nylon-6 thermoplastic, to inhibit sharp edges during breakage. One or more of the plies typically has "bi-axial" or "tri-axially" braided fiber geometries wherein one or more fibers are helically wound about the circumference of the member.  The helically oriented fibers are oriented at a selectively variable angle which influences the overall bending strength of the composite material.  In one aspect, the angles of the fiber components and other factors are used to maintain substantially uniform cross-sectional area over the length of the tubular member while  simultaneously varying the bending  stiffness.  In another aspect,  the intermediate ply is constructed with two or more sub-plies.  Such sub-plies can include tri-axially extending plies, and circumferentially-wound plies.  The circumferentially-wound plies are often wound more tightly at the ends of the  composite member to increase resistance  to stresses caused by objects within the tubular shaft.  A composite member constructed according  to the invention resists sudden or impact forces and has high, selectively variable bending strength, high impact resistance, and safe failure modes.

Title: Use of inhibitors of fatty acid synthesis for treating cancer
Inventor: KUHAJDA FRANCIS P
IPC: A61P35/00
Filed: 1993-07-26
Granted: 2003-05-27
Abstract: Fatty acid synthase (FAS) is overexpressed in carcinomas with poor prognosis, but little FAS expression is identified in normal tissues. Inhibition of fatty acid synthesis is selectively toxic to carcinoma cells, while normal cells with low FAS activity are resistant. This invention provides a method of treating cancer patients where fatty acid synthesis by cells of the patient's tumor is inhibited with resultant interruption of the disease process.

Abstract: Chemiluminescent bioassays for the presence or concentration of an analyte in a sample use 1,2-dioxetanes as substrates for the enzyme of an enzyme complex that bind to the analyte. The chemiluminescence obtained from the decomposition of the dioxetane trigerred by the enzyme through the formation of the corresponding 1,2-dioxetane oxyanion of the enzyme complex is enhanced by the addition of TBQ as an enhancement agent. Other polymeric quaternary onium salts can be used as enhancement agents in conjunction with enhancement additives which improve the ability of the enhancement agent to form hydrophobic regions in the aqueous sample, in which regions the 1,2-dioxetane oxyanion and its chemiluminescent decomposition products can be sequestered. A kit for performing such assays is also provided.

Title: Method for the treatment of neoplastic disease utilizing tiazofurin and ribavirin
Inventor: WEBER GEORGE
IPC: A61K31/70
Filed: 1994-05-05
Granted: 2005-06-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to the treatment of neoplastic disease in warm blooded animals using the sequential administration of tiazofurin and ribavirin. Tiazofurin is administered first in a high dose in order to facilitate a sharp decrease in IMP DH activity. These gains are consolidated by the continual administration of tiazofurin until the hematological levels have stabilized and remission is achieved. Once the patient is in remission, ribavirin is administered in steadily tapering dosages until the minimum dosage that will retain the beneficial effect of the tiazofurin is achieved. The IMP DH activity, GTP concentration, and hematological data is continually monitored throughout the treatment and dosages adjusted.

Title: Brake device
Inventor: AKAMATSU OSAMU
IPC: F16D65/28
Filed: 1996-03-01
Granted: 2000-05-09
Abstract: A brake device equipped with an actuator having a power-transmission member generating a pushing force by receiving a drive force so as to advance. A pressure-detection device is provided for detecting the reaction pressure being applied to the power-transmission member and a clearance controller is provided for making the power-transmission member perform a return stroke. A brake shoe is attached to the power-transmission member and generates a braking force on the wheel tread surface.  Such clearance controller is provided with a stroke memory unit which detects when the pressure signal from the pressure-detection device has reached a reference value when the pushing force of the power-transmission member is output and memorizes the stroke position of the power-transmission member as the reference stroke position.  A computational processor determines the return stroke position by which the power-transmission member is separated from the wheel tread surface and the clearance stroke fraction established in advance using the reference stroke position, when the pushing force is released.

Title: Apparatus for forming threaded moulded articles
Inventor: WRIGHT JOHN B
IPC: B29C45/26
Filed: 1997-01-08
Granted: 2001-12-18
Abstract: An apparatus for forming a moulded article includes a stationary mould core with an external threaded surface. A female mould surrounds a portion of the mould core including the threaded surface in a mould closed condition to define a mould cavity between the mould core and the female mould. Molten plastic is injected into the mould cavity to form the moulded article. A rotatable sleeve surrounds the mould core and engages with the moulded article formed in the mould cavity. The sleeve carries a gear wheel which meshes with a pinion. A rack is associated with the pinon and is moveable linearly to impart rotation of the pinion and in turn the sleeve. A lead screw on the sleeve engages a lead screw nut to cause the sleeve to displace axially along the mould core as the sleeve rotates. Lugs on the sleeve engages the moulded article and causes it to rotate with the sleeve so that the moulded article unscrews from the mould core allowing it to be ejected from the apparatus.
