Patent EP-0572560-A4 (EP)
Title: Use of pharmaceutical compounds in the treatment of symptoms of disorders related to neurological diseases and etiologically related symptomology.
Inventor: SHAPIRO HOWARD K
IPC: A61K8/44
Filed: 1992-02-21
Abstract: The invention regards a novel use of pharmaceutical compositions in treating symptoms of disorders relating to neurological diseases and for treating pathophysiologically related symptomology in other body tissues, including peripheral neuropathies, secondary symptomology of diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, alcoholic polyneuropathy and age-onset symptomology. Covalent bond crosslinking of protein and lipid subcellular elements appears to underlie the formation of polymerized aggregates of neurofilaments, other structural proteins and lipofuscin. The use of certain compounds may compete with cellular protein and lipid amine groups for reaction with disease-induced carbonyl-containing aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Such derivatized pharmacological agents can then be excreted by the kidneys, thus removing the toxic agent(s). The presence of an acid functional group on the agent used facilitates kidney recognition and removal. Another application of the present invention includes the oral use of non-absorbable polyamine agents and amine-related agents such as chitosan and cholestyramine to covalently bind and sequester potentially toxic carbonyl compound present in the diet. Veterinary, food processing and cosmetic applications of the present invention are also described.

Title: Electronic battery tester with automatic compensation for low state-of-charge.
Inventor: CHAMPLIN KEITH S
IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 1993-04-30
Abstract: An improved electronic device for testing or monitoring storage batteries (24) that may be only partially charged. The device determines the battery's small-signal dynamic conductance in order to provide either a proportional numerical readout, displayed in appropriate battery measuring units, or a corresponding qualitative assessment of the battery's relative condition based upon its dynamic conductance and electrical rating. The device also determines the battery's terminal voltage in an essentially unloaded condition and utilizes this information to automatically correct the measured dynamic conductance.
Patent EP-0647320-A4 (EP)
Title: Detection of hla antigen-containing immune complexes.
Inventor: CHANG CHIN-HAI
IPC: G01N33/564
Filed: 1993-06-10
Abstract: The invention provides for methods and compositions to detect the presence of anti-HLA antibodies, HLA antigen or preformed HLA-containing immune complexes in biological samples. The complement protein C1q is bound to a solid substrate, then mixed with a biological sample containing immune complexes. The immune complexes are preformed, or formed by adding HLA antigens to a biological sample containing antibodies to HLA, or alternatively, by combining a biological sample containing HLA antigens with defined antibodies to HLA. The immune complexes bind to C1q, and are then detected by the addition of a labeled reagent.

Title: Reloadable injector
Inventor: DALLING LAWRENCE N
IPC: A61M5/24
Filed: 1994-08-01
Abstract: A reloadable automatic injector comprises a reusable power pack assembly for effectuating multiple injection operations. The power pack assembly includes an outer body and an energy releasing assembly disposed within the body. The energy releasing assembly is capable of providing multiple energy releasing strokes. A disposable cartridge assembly is provided which is engageable with the power pack assembly and forms an elongate injection assembly therewith. The cartridge assembly is adapted to receive energy from the power pack during one of the energy releasing strokes. The cartridge assembly includes a housing in which a charge of medicament and a needle is contained. A plunger is disposed within the housing for forcing the medicament through the needle. The cartridge assembly receives energy from the power pack assembly during one of the energy releasing strokes to enable the needle to project from the protected position to an unprotected projecting position from the housing and to enable the plunger to force the medicament through the needle. In addition, a needle return spring is provided for returning the needle from the unprotected position to the protected position within the housing so that the housing provides the needle with a rigid protective outer covering for sanitary disposal of the cartridge assembly.

Title: Liquid crystal display device comprising reflective holographic optical element.
Inventor: CHEN ALAN G
IPC: G02B5/32
Filed: 1994-10-19
Abstract: A liquid crystal display device (30) that is illuminatable by diffuse ambient light comprises a liquid crystal panel (32) and a reflective holographic optical element (34). Diffuse ambient light illuminating the front side (36) of the liquid crystal panel and traversing the liquid crystal panel is received at a reflection site (66) and is redirected with a reflection pattern (68) to retraverse the liquid crystal panel to form a bright pixel for a display. By concentrating diffuse light within a preferential reflection pattern, the reflective holographic optical element provides enhanced brightness for viewing the display under ambient light conditions. In one aspect, the reflective holographic optical element is a transflector (158, 208) and is combined with an internal light source (170, 220) for illuminating the display using either reflected ambient light or backlighting.

Patent EP-0880675-A4 (EP)
Inventor: IRANI MICHAL
IPC: G06T7/246
Filed: 1997-02-12
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil pour la formation d'une relation géométrique entre le déplacement d'image de paires de points sur des plans multi-images représentant une scène en trois dimensions. Cette relation est basée sur le mouvement de parallaxe de points en fonction d'une surface plane arbitraire et n'utilise pas la géométrie épipolaire. On définit une contrainte sur deux plans (504) pour toute paire de points (506) en relation avec leur structure de projection (par rapport à la surface plane) en se basant uniquement sur leurs coordonnées d'image et sur leurs déplacements de parallaxe. De la même manière, on définit une contrainte de rigidité 3D entre des paires de points sur des plans multiples. Les applications proposées pour ces contraintes basées sur le parallaxe comprennent la récupération de la structure 3D de la scène (512), la détection d'objets en mouvement en présence du déplacement induit de la caméra (510) et la synthèse des nouvelles prises de vues de la caméra à partir d'un ensemble donné de vues (514). En outre, cette méthode permet de gérer des situations difficiles pour l'analyse d'une scène 3D, par exemple lorsqu'il n'existe qu'un faible ensemble de vecteurs de parallaxe et en présence d'objets soumis à des mouvements indépendants.

Title: Laser marking of articles
Inventor: ZIENTEK PAUL
IPC: B23K26/18
Filed: 1998-02-19
Abstract: A method of marking or forming a transparent window in an article 6, such as a security document, is provided in which areas of opacifying layers of printed ink 8, 10 on opposite surfaces of a polymeric film or substrate 12 are irradiated by laser radiation 4 of a selected wavelength. The opacifying layers 8, 10 have greater absorption characteristics for the laser radiation than the film or substrate 12 which is substantially transparent to the selected wavelength of the laser radiation so that after ablation of the area of printed matter 8 on one surface, the radiation passes through the substrate 12 substantially unaffected to ablate the area of printed matter 10 on the opposite surface. In the resultant article, the markings or windows formed by the areas of printing removed from each surface of the substrate 12 are in register, and provide a deterrent against counterfeiting.
