Abstract: The invention relates to a system which is used for saving and evacuating persons and which is applied to buildings. The system is characterised in that it comprises cables (10 and 11) which are formed respectively by smaller interconnected cables (12 and 12~) and which are positioned in a spiral configuration with a calculated pitch. The system also includes a spring hook (1) which is coupled to the spiral surface and which comprises: at one end, a zone providing access (2) to the interior and a transverse projection (3);  and, at the opposing end, a zone (4) which is narrower in relation to the first end. According to the invention, a lifting piece (20) is coupled to the spring hook (1) and applied to a harness (21) worn by the user (30). One end of the cable assembly (10 and 11) is fixed to a motor reducer (23) by means of a tension member (22), while, optionally, the opposing end of the assembly is fixed to a lifting body (42) that extends from the lower part of a support (40) that is attached transversely to the façade of a building (41). The support (42) is equipped with a zone (44) for fixing the upper end of the cables and, optionally, a vertical projection (43) from which a guide cable (13) extends. Said guide cable (13) is coupled to the spring hook (1) to enable the harness (21) user (30) to move vertically such as to eliminate the rotation effect. The user or person to be evacuated can descend along a fixed cable that does not turn, rotating the user thereof. In addition, the system includes a braking unit which can be fixed to the upper or lower part of the building or incorporated at the time of the incident, said unit comprising automatic mechanisms.

Abstract: A method for treatment of multiple sclerosis and other neurodegenerative diseases, disorders or conditions. An alkyl ester of imidazole carboxylic acid, preferably methyl 4-imidazolecarboxylate, is administered in a therapeutic amount. It is hypothesized that the alkyl ester of imidazole carboxylic acid serves to restore and/or maintain the intracellular/extracellular osmolyte gradient in the central nervous system (CNS). The methyl 4-imidazolecarboxylate may be administered transdermally, using PLO gel or other suitable transderamal carrier. The compound may also be administered orally, inhaler or by injection. The treatment is advantageously performed on a three day cycle, with a period of two days intervening between each day on which the compound is administered. Dosage ranges may be from about 0.01 mcg to about 3.0 mcg, with dosages in the range from about 0.1 mcg to about 0.2 mcg in generally preferred when using transdermal administration.

Abstract: A device for storing and dispensing perfume has a plurality of compartments (11) for storing the perfume. Each compartment (11) has an aperture (3) in a compartment wall (4) through which the perfume is released from the compartment (11). An elongate stem (5) extends from a base portion (22) within each compartment (11) and the stem base portion (22) is biased against the compartment wall (4) by a pair of resilient bands (21) to form a seal. The stem (5) has a larger and a smaller diameter stem portion along its length and extends out of the compartment (11) through the aperture (3). The larger diameter stem portion provides an interference fit with the aperture (3) and the diameter of the smaller diameter stem portion is smaller than the aperture (3). Upon pushing the elongate stem (5) into the compartment (11) against the bias of the resilient bands (21) the aperture (3) is opened by moving the stem base portion (22) from the compartment wall (4) and moving the larger diameter stem portion away from the aperture and the smaller diameter stem portion into the aperture (3) releasing the interference fit, thereby enabling perfume to be released from the compartment (11).

Title: Model-driven event detection, implication, and reporting system
Inventor: COWELL-SHAH CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2006-04-06
Abstract: An event analysis system monitors information available from both publicly and privately distributed networks of information for events that are relevant to the user's particular business concerns. Those concerns are defined in a customized model of the user's organization and external business environment.  The system receives the information, detects events in the information, interprets the events, and determines implications of these events. The detection and implication proceeds with regard to specific entities, relationships between entities, and definitions of the types of events which may occur in the environment in which the entities exist. Accordingly, the analysis system intelligently adapts its processing to recognize and report events which may be of interest for any particular entity.

Abstract: Methods, techniques and apparatus identify members and characteristics of binders and/or other groups of communication lines such as those in a DSL  system. Information obtained includes the identification (for example, by scanning) of significant crosstalking "offenders" and their "victims" that are affected by the crosstalk. One or a small number of modems are instructed to transmit with preselected transmit spectra, after which evidence of crosstalk in the noise spectrum data is examined for potential victim lines. Direct evidence of noise spectrum contribution by a suspected offender line may be obtained by collecting reported noise spectrum data and/or estimated noise spectrum data from potential victim lines. For DMT modulated DSL transceivers, well designed transmit spectra can be easily enforced by manipulating line profiles where such well designed line profiles cause minimal or no interruption to existing DSL customers.
