Patent EP-1202728-A2 (EP)

IPC: A61K33/24

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of peroxovanadium compounds in the prevention of angiogenesis, restenosis and the production of endothelins, and as immunomodulators. Peroxovanadium compounds are preferred since they are more potent, and less toxic, than their "oxo" counterparts. Anti-angiogenic activity was verified <i>in vitro</i> against human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) as well as <i>ex ovo</i> using the chicken chorioallantoic assay membrane and in the rat aortic ring model and a Matrigel assay <i>in vivo</i>. Peroxovanadium compounds also decrease basal levels and inhibit the increase in plasma endothelins occurring following insulin induction in rats. It is proposed that peroxovanadium compounds are therapeutically-active anti-angiogenics and useful in preventing vascular restenosis by acting, <i>inter alia</i>, by inhibiting one or several protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) involved in the proliferation, differentiation and migration of cells or the secretion of peptides (such as endothelins and immunomodulators), or both.

Abstract: A fuel dispenser (110) includes data type aware SGML processing capabilities
(206) -allowing it to efficiently process received data having a variety of data types. 
Such received data typically includes fuel dispenser configuration information. Further
benefits related to data type aware SGML processing within the fuel dispenser include
the ability to transfer information in a data type aware SGML format from the fuel
dispenser, such as diagnostics data, to a remote system. Data type aware SGML data
definitions facilitate conversion of the data type aware SGML-formatted diagnostics data
into a machine format usable by the remote system. Preferably, the fuel dispenser
includes an HTTP server for communicating with remote client's systems that employ
data type aware SGML-capable, web browsers. Data type aware SGML-based style
sheets may be transferred from the fuel dispenser to the remote system for assisting with
the visual display of received fuel dispenser data in HTML format. Optionally, the fuel
dispenser may include a Java applet designed to impart data type aware SGML-based
transfer and processing capabilities to remote client web browsers lacking native data
type aware SGML support. As an alternative, the fuel dispenser may itself apply resident
data type aware style sheet information to stored fuel dispenser data after converting it to
data type aware SGML format to produce formatted HTML-based web pages, and then
transfer the web pages to the remote system for display.

IPC: H04J3/00
Filed: 2001-02-07
Abstract: A method of supervising on the forward link in a high data rate system is disclosed, wherein a base station transmits to an access terminal on a forward traffic channel only when the base station has data to send to the access terminal. The base station minimizes the worst-case period necessary to reclaim traffic channel resources following a release by periodically transmitting a configuration packet to its access terminals. The configuration packet indicates the allocation status of the traffic channels belonging to the base station. If an access terminal receives a configuration packet indicating the deallocation of one or all of its traffic channels, the access terminal immediately ceases its use of those traffic channels. If an access terminal fails to successfully decode a configuration packet for a predetermined supervision time, the access terminal releases its connection with all base stations and associated traffic channels.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'étalonnage in-situ de mesure de volume d'un fluide s'écoulant dans un canal. Le volume de fluide qui s'écoule est mesuré de manière classique à l'aide d'un dispositif de mesure. L'amélioration, selon le procédé, réside dans le fait que ledit dispositif de mesure est indépendant de l'écoulement de fluide, le fluide de mesure étant accumulé en volume certifié et prédéterminé sur le site d'étalonnage. Ledit volume certifié et prédéterminé du fluide de mesure traverse le dispositif de mesure en débit volumétrique prédéterminé, et les valeurs volumétriques mesurées par le dispositif de mesure sont sauvegardées. On compare alors ces valeurs volumétriques aux valeurs réelles standard étalonnées du fluide traversant. Ainsi, on étalonne la mesure du volume du fluide d'écoulement. L'invention traite également d'un appareil d'étalonnage in-situ de mesure de volume d'un fluide s'écoulant dans un canal. Le dispositif de mesure du volume de fluide s'écoulant est placé dans un arbre de mesure et couplé à une unité de collecte de données classique et, de préférence, à une unité électronique de transmission de données. L'amélioration de l'appareil réside dans le fait qu'il se compose d'un bassin (17) d'étalonnage dont le volume est officiellement certifié et qui est installé sur le site du mesurage. Ledit bassin (17) est relié à une source de liquide de mesure ainsi que, à sa sortie, à un conduit de mesure (19) se déversant dans ledit canal (1) avant le débitmètre (7) placé dans le sens de l'écoulement du liquide à l'intérieur du canal (1), avant étalonnage. Ledit bassin (17) contient un fluide de mesure en volume prédéterminé et certifié, le conduit (19) de mesure comportant au moins une vanne de départ permettant de réguler l'écoulement du fluide de mesure d'une manière certifiée.
