Patent EP-1377661-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HUNZIKER ERNST B
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2002-01-30
Abstract: L'invention concerne des compositions et des méthodes permettant de traiter des défauts de cartilage chez des animaux et des humains. Les compositions de cette invention contiennent du tissu synovial, des cellules synoviales et des matrices renfermant des cellules ou du tissu synovial (ou cambium) destinés au remplissage d'un défaut du cartilage. Les préparations cellulaires ou tissulaires synoviales et matricielles peuvent également renfermer un agent de prolifération, un facteur de transformation ou d'autres agents actifs de manière à favoriser la guérison. On peut utiliser un système d'administration à libération régulée pour administrer le facteur de transformation. Lesdites compositions de l'invention comprennent aussi une membrane de revêtement synovial ou une feuille des fascias dévitalisée permettant de recouvrir le défaut de cartilage. Les méthodes de cette invention sont celles avec lesquelles on réalise une intervention chirurgicale très peu effractive destinée à enlever une petite portion de la membrane synoviale à partir d'une articulation. On implante des portions de la membrane synoviale ou des cellules expansées in vitro, seules ou à l'intérieur d'un matrice, dans le site de défaut, où ces portions produisent du nouveau tissu cartilagineux et réparent le défaut. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, on peut former in situ un tissu dérivé du liquide synovial partiellement transformé et l'implanter dans le site de défaut.

Abstract: An apparatus for contactless measurement of carrier concentration and mobility includes a microwave source (16), a circular waveguide (50) for transmitting microwave radiation to a sample (59), such as a semiconductor wafer or panel for flat panel displays, at a measurement location, a first detector (18) for detecting the forward microwave power, a second detector (23) for detecting the microwave power reflected from the sample, and a third detector (95) for detecting the Hall effect power. A circular waveguide (50), carrying only the TE11 mode, is terminated by the sample (59) behind which a short (58) is located. Perpendicular to the plane of the sample (and along the axis of the circular waveguide (50)), a magnetic field is applied. In this configuration, a given incident TE11 wave will cause two reflected waves. One is the ordinary reflected wave in the same polarization as the incident one. A detector is provided to measure this reflected radiation. The other reflected wave is caused by the Hall effect. Its polarization is perpendicular to the former wave and a probe (70) is provided to detect this as well. This reflected wave is detected by a probe (70), the output of which is combined with an attenuated and phase shifted portion of the forward radiation at a single detector.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un mélange formé par une protéine hybride (F), une protéine de liaison (G) et une protéine matricielle (M) du virus respiratoire syncytial (RSV). Ces protéines sont isolées et purifiées à partir du virus respiratoire syncytial par extraction à l'aide d'un détergent doux des protéines contenues dans le virus concentré. Ces protéines sont ensuite chargées sur une colonne hydroxyapatite ou échangeuse d'ions, puis éluées par une faible concentration de sel. Les protéines F, G et M, préparées sous forme de compositions immunogènes, sont à la fois sûres et hautement immunogènes et permettent de protéger des modèles animaux pertinents contre certains effets induits par une infection par le virus respiratoire syncytial.

Title: Method and apparatus for motion estimation in a sequence of digital images
Inventor: SADEH YARON M
IPC: H04N19/533
Filed: 2002-10-29
Abstract: In some embodiments of the present invention, low frequency components for a current block in a current picture and a candidate block in a reference picture are obtained. For each of the low frequency components, quantized phase differences between the current block and the candidate block are calculated. Using the quantized phase differences as an index, coordinates of a global maximum of a correlation function corresponding to the quantized phase differences are retrieved from the table. The coordinates represent a motion vector. A refined candidate block is determined from a spatial search in the vicinity of a candidate block in the reference picture from which the motion vector originates when the motion vector terminates at the current block. The refined candidate block is selected as a reference block for the current block if a matching criterion between the refined candidate block and the current block satisfies a predetermined criterion.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des méthodes de traitement de la polyarthrite rhumatoïde, ces méthodes consistant à administrer au moins un agent ciblant de manière spécifique LIR-2, LIR-3 et LIR-7. Les résultats des méthodes selon l'invention indiquent que ces trois LIR peuvent participer à la régulation de l'activation des globules blancs qui s'infiltrent dans le liquide synovial. L'inflammation des articulations de patients atteints de polyarthrite rhumatoïde peut donc être atténuée par l'administration d'agents modulant l'expression ou la fonction de LIR-2 et/ou LIR-3 et/ou LIR-7, ladite administration visant à réduire ou à éliminer l'activation des monocytes ou des macrophages présents dans les articulations enflammées, ou à réduire leur recrutement à l'endroit de l'inflammation. Cela peut être réalisé par la modulation de LIR-7 qui transmet un signal stimulant et/ou par la modulation de LIR-2 et/ou LIR-3 qui exerce un effet inhibiteur lorsqu'il est déclenché, ou par la modulation simultanée de deux LIR ou des trois LIR à la fois.

Abstract: At first, a sample for obtaining light measurement data
is set to obtain reflectances. After setting an arbitrary
wavelength λ i , a principal component analysis is executed to
obtain an eigenvalue 1 and an eigenvector b. Then a basic
equation for reflectance is determined by deriving a
coefficient k, utilizing a known reflectance of an object of
which reflectance is to be estimated. Thereafter a process
of deriving a reflectance at an arbitrary displacement angle
is executed for all the wavelengths, for example over a visible
wavelength range. In this manner, the reflectance of an object
at an arbitrary displacement angle can easily be obtained by
utilizing the basic equation for the reflectance derived from
the eigenvector obtained from the principal component analysis
of the measured data.
