Granted: 2011-02-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of chemotherapy of diseases such as cell proliferation disorders including cancer. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of hyaluronan (HA) as a protective agent in the treatment of subjects. HA is administered in conjunction with a chemotherapeutic agent to facilitate the prolonged administration of a dose of the chemotherapeutic agent to be administered to a subject. Owing to the protective effects of the HA, the dose of chemotherapeutic agent may be substantially higher than a generally accepted effective dose, which would otherwise be expected to cause unacceptable side effects in the subject.

Granted: 2008-09-30
Abstract: L'invention concerne un circuit séquenceur numérique, déverrouillé, à flans avants et arrières ordonnés de façon non rigide sur des signaux de sortie. Le circuit séquenceur de l'invention comprend un double verrou d'entrée qui détecte uniquement les flans avants sur un premier terminal d'entrée et uniquement des flans arrières sur un second terminal d'entrée. Une ligne de retard fournit successivement des signaux d'entrée retardés. Deux signaux d'entrée retardés sont couplés aux premier et second terminaux d'entrée de chacun des deux ou plusieurs double verrous d'entrée qui produisent un ensemble de signaux de sortie de séquenceur. La séquence des flans de signaux de sortie dépend des signaux d'entrée retardés choisis pour entraîner chaque double verrou d'entrée. Dans l'un des modes de réalisation, la sélection de signaux d'entrée retardés pour entraîner les premier et second terminaux d'entrée des double verrous d'entrée est programmable. Ainsi la séquence des flans avants sur les signaux de sortie est programmable, et la séquence des flans arrières peut être programmée de façon indépendante.

Abstract: Current methods for manufacturing diamond films by microwave--plasma-assisted chemical vapour deposition are of limited effectiveness since the large amounts of energy needed to obtain diamond of electronic quality at reasonable growth rates lead to heating of the walls on which hydrogen atoms contained in the plasma recombine and therefore cannot participate in the reaction. To solve this problem, there is provided a method of forming a plasma near a substrate by subjecting a gas containing at least hydrogen and carbon using a pulsed microwave plasma with a peak power density of at least 100W/cm3, while the temperature of the substrate is maintained between 700°C and 1000°C and the pressure of the plasma is maintained between 100mbar and 350mbar. Such a method allows manufacturing diamond at a high deposition rate while guaranteeing the electronic quality of the diamond film produced.
