Patent EP-1342330-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HALL DAVID W
IPC: H04J14/00
Filed: 2001-12-07
Abstract: A fiber optic system includes an optical fiber carrying an optical signal having a wavelength peak, an optical detector coupled to the optical fiber for detecting a current optical level (e.g. a photon power level), and a tunable optical filter coupled to the optical fiber upstream from the optical detector. The system further includes a controller connected to the optical detector and the tunable optical filter, for stepping the tunable optical filter over a sequence of wavelengths while analyzing respective optical levels, and for reversing the stepping direction of the tunable optical filter, based upon the current optical level being less than a prior optical level, to locate the wavelength peak of the at least one optical signal. A sample rate is reduced when the wavelength peak of the optical signal is located, to thereby reduce a power consumption of the controller.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la découverte du fait que la signalisation par l'intermédiaire d'un récepteur de sérotonine de type 1B, 2, 4 et 6 est importante dans l'activation des cellules T, de sorte que l'inhibition, telle que la signalisation peut être utilisée pour la modulation de la réponse immunitaire. L'immunomodulation est utile pour le traitement de maladies ou d'états immunologiques. Nous avons également découvert que, dans les cellules impliquées dans le processus de cycle cellulaire, l'inhibition de la signalisation de la sérotonine inhibe le processus et induit l'apoptose et des changements morphologiques d'une cellule. Ces effets d'inhibition de la signalisation sérotonergique peuvent être utiles pour la suppression des cellules et pour l'identification de composés qui inhibent la signalisation.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems for the injection delivery of at least two fluid doses to a small bird by penetrating the skin of the recipient bird with at least two injection needles. It is then possible to simultaneously inject drugs, or other fluid vaccines that do not mix well or whose mixture would be detrimental to the stability or efficacy of the active ingredients therein. The present invention provides a novel injection needle support for connecting the injection needles to dose distributors and fluid supply containers while maintaining the injection ends of the injection needles in a substantially parallel arrangement.The injection needle support typically is attached to a carrier connected to an actuator, an actuator power source and a switch mechanism wherein the actuator, when activated, can reciprocally move the carrier and injection support toward and away from an injection position. The injection delivery system may further include one or more dose distributors and fluid supply containers for delivering fluid doses to the injection needles for injection into a recipient bird held against an aperture in a retaining plate.
