Title: Aperture closure member control arrangements
Inventor: GUNTON BRUCE STANLEY
IPC: E05F15/16
Filed: 2007-05-03
Abstract: An aperture closure member control arrangement includes a disc (20) which rotates as the aperture closure member moves. The disc (20) has a ring of teeth (24). A sensor (22), such as a Hall effect sensor (28) and permanent magnet (30), detect the passage of teeth (24) as a cyclic waveform of amplitude and frequency determined by the spacing of the teeth (24), and the speed of rotation of the disc (20). An irregularity (26), in the form of a missing tooth (24), creates an irregularity in the output of the sensor (22), in the form of a pulse of greater amplitude and lower frequency. Accordingly, pulses from the irregularity can be discriminated and counted to provide a coarse indication of position, or pulses from the teeth (24) can be counted, to provide a fine indication.

Title: Phosphorus derivatives as histone deacetylase inhibitors
Inventor: KATTAR SOLOMON
IPC: C07F9/547
Filed: 2007-07-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel class of phosphorus derivatives. The phosphorus compounds can be used to treat cancer. The phosphorus compounds can also inhibit histone deacetylase and are suitable for use in selectively inducing terminal differentiation, and arresting cell growth and/or apoptosis of neoplastic cells, thereby inhibiting proliferation of such cells. Thus, the compounds of the present invention are useful in treating a patient having a tumor characterized by proliferation of neoplastic cells. The compounds of the invention may also be useful in the prevention and treatment of TRX-mediated diseases, such as autoimmune, allergic and inflammatory diseases, and in the prevention and/or treatment of diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), such as neurodegenerative diseases. The present invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the phosphorus derivatives and safe dosing regimens of these pharmaceutical compositions, which are easy to follow, and which result in a therapeutically effective amount of the phosphorus derivatives in vivo.

Abstract: A device and method to reinforce the annulus during spinal surgery. The device is placed into the intervertebral space following discectomy. The distal end of a catheter is comprised of an expansile loop which may be increased in diameter by advancement of a portion of the catheter via its proximal end. The expansile loop may be formed such that when the loop is diametrically contracted the loop feeds into its other end. Stabilization of the outer portion of the loop and pulling out the inner portion will thereby increase the overall diameter of the loop while maintaining it as a closed loop or torus. The expansile loop can use an attachment means to secure it to substantially healthy tissues of the annulus, nucleus, or endplates. The present invention comprises four embodiments and can be used for disc fusion, artificial replacement of the nucleus, artificial replacement of the annulus, or both.

Title: System and method for combining text with three-dimensional content
Inventor: ZHANG DONG-QING
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2007-12-19
Abstract: A system (10) and method (52, 60, 72) for combining and/or displaying text with three-dimensional (3D) content. The system (10) and method (52, 60, 72) inserts text at the same level as the highest depth value in the 3D content. One example of 3D content is a two-dimensional image (44) and an associated depth map (46). In this case, the depth value of the inserted text (50) is adjusted to match the largest depth value of the given depth map. Another example of 3D content is a plurality of two-dimensional images and associated depth maps. In this case, the depth value of the inserted text is continuously adjusted to match the largest depth value of a given depth map. A further example of 3D content is stereoscopic content (82) having a right eye image (86) and a left eye image (84). In this case the text (88, 90) in one of the left eye image (84) and right eye image (86) is shifted to match the largest depth value in the stereoscopic image. Yet another example of 3D content is stereoscopic content having a plurality of right eye images and left eye images. In this case the text in one of the left eye images or right eye images is continuously shifted to match the largest depth value in the stereoscopic images. As a result, the system (10) and method (52, 60, 72) of the present disclosure produces text combined with 3D content wherein the text does not obstruct the 3D effects in the 3D content and does not create visual fatigue when viewed by a viewer.
