Title: Breast tissue engineering
Inventor: VACANTI JOSEPH P
IPC: C12N5/0793
Filed: 1995-12-15
Granted: 2000-04-06
Abstract: Methods and compositions are described herein for reconstruction or augmentation of breast tissue. Dissociated cells, preferably muscle cells, are implanted in combination with a suitable biodegradable, polymeric matrix to form new tissue. There are two forms of matrices which can be used: a polymeric hydrogel formed of a material such as alginate having cells suspended therein, and a fibrous matrix having an interstitial spacing between about 100 and 300 microns. Preferred polymeric materials are those degrading over about one to two months, such as polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymers. The matrices can be seeded prior to implantation or implanted, allowed to vascularize, then seeded with cells. In a preferred embodiment, the cell-matrix structures are implanted in combination with tissue expander devices. As cell-matrix is implanted, or cells proliferate and form new tissue, the expander size is decreased, until it can be removed and the desired reconstruction or augmentation is obtained. The preferred cell types are muscle cells, although other types of mesenchymal cells, fibroblasts, chondrocytes, and adipocytes can be used. Cells obtained from tissue such as the labia can be used for specialized applications such as formation of a nipple type tissue. Other materials, such as bioactive molecules that enhance vascularization of the implanted tissue and/or which inhibit ingrowth of fibrotic tissue, can be implanted with the matrix to enhance development of more normal tissue.

Title: Sterile occlusion fasteners and instrument and method for their placement
Inventor: HUGHETT J DAVID
IPC: A61B17/128
Filed: 1996-03-12
Granted: 1999-06-17
Abstract: A clip applier and method for ligating a tissue structure is provided. The applier has a two stage actuation. In the first stage, a tissue structure is positioned into the jaws of the clip applier The jaws close and lock to a preset force to compress and temporarily occlude the tissue structure. If satisfactorily positioned, the second stage is initiated in which a clip is advanced through the shaft of the clip applier in a closed position. At the distal end of the clip applier, the clip is opened slightly to capture the pre-compressed tissue structure, and is placed over the structure. The clip is then dissociated from the business end of the instrument. Preferably the clip comprises two leg members disposed in close proximity to one another joined from opposing directions by a connecting element. The connecting element restricts separation of the leg members with opposing spring members so as to provide substantially uniform parallel deflection of the leg members from each other. <IMAGE>

Title: Computationally efficient adaptive bit allocation for codingmethod and apparatus
Inventor: DAVIDSON GRANT ALLEN
IPC: G10L19/035
Filed: 1994-07-18
Granted: 1998-07-16
Abstract: The invention relates in general to low bit-rate encoding and decoding of information such as audio information. More particularly, the invention relates to computationally efficient adaptive bit allocation and quantization of encoded information useful in high-quality low bit-rate coding systems. In audio applications, a digital split-band encoder splits an input signal into frequency subband signals having bandwidths commensurate with the critical bandwidths of the human auditory system, quantizes the subband signals according to values established by an allocation function, and assembles the quantized subband signals into an encoded signal. The allocation function establishes allocation values in accordance with psychoacoustic principles with allowance for decoding synthesis filter bank spectral distortions. In one embodiment, an allocation function establishes allocation values using a psychoacoustic masking threshold generated by estimating the power spectral density (PSD) of the input signal, generating an excitation pattern by applying a basilar-membrane spreading function to the PSD, adjusting the excitation pattern by an amount equal to a sensitivity function which specifies a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) sufficient to achieve psychoacoustic masking, comparing the level of the adjusted pattern to the threshold of hearing and generating the psychoacoustic masking threshold which is equal to the larger of the two. An allocation function may allow for decoder synthesis filter bank spectral distortions in any of a number of ways such as by adapting the sensitivity function.

IPC: G01G19/02
Filed: 2000-10-02
Granted: 2003-03-20
Abstract: A seismic weigh-in-motion system (12) which utilizes a seismic sensor (32) mounted, off-pavement of the highway prior to the point at which the truck (10) enters the deceleration lane at the truck weighing station. The sensor (32) senses seismic vibrations which are transferred into the ground by the moving truck (10). Signals indicative of these vibrations are transmitted through a fiber optic cable (44) connected to a main processor (42) mounted in the weigh-in station. These vibration signals along with signals proportional to the speed of the truck (determined by speed detecting devices/processes (34, 36)) as the truck moves down the highway is processed in the processor (42) to provide an output which is indicative of the weight of the truck. Additional components such as soil temperature (28) and soil moisture content (30) measuring devices provide additional inputs to the processor (42) to increase accuracy of the system.

Title: Coin operated telephone fitted with credit indicator - performs brief display blackouts between progressive reductions in credit shown on indicator
IPC: H04M17/02
Filed: 1970-07-29
Abstract: The coin-operated telephone indicates the amount of money that the caller still has available for his call. The amount is displayed digitally and is down-rated as the call time progresses. In other similar system this down- rating takes place continuously-passing from a higher to a lower digit without a break. This makes it difficult for the caller to see clearly how much money he has left. To avoid this difficulty it is proposed that a pause of less than a second be introduced between the digit changes and that the display be blanked (ie made dark) for the duration of this pause. The system includes a multivibrator (6).

Abstract: PURPOSE:To generate a synthetic sound with neither discontinuous waves of a connection part nor variation in pitch frequency by selecting the shift amount of data when the sum of absolute values of level differences of connection-part sampling values between preceding and following phoneme waveforms becomes minimum. CONSTITUTION:In memory units 103 and 104, an analog input signal sampled according to clocks is stored, and binary signal converter 124 converts sampling values of the connection part of a preceding phoneme waveform and following phoneme waveform into binary signals of polarities equivalent to the input signal. Here, arithmetic processor 121 sums up absolute values of level differences and the shift amount of sampling data when the calculation value becomes minimum is selected among calculation values through its calculation operation, so that memory units will be clock-controlled by programs to adjust the time axis of the following connection phoneme element. Consequently, a synthetic sound can be obtained with neither discontinuous waveforms of the connection point nor variation in pitch frequency.
