Title: Absorbent article having a topsheet that includes selectively openable and closable openings
Inventor: ROE DONALD CARROLL
IPC: A61F13/49
Filed: 1999-10-20
Abstract: An absorbent article adapted to be worn about the lower torso of a wearer. The article includes a liquid-impervious, flexible backsheet adapted to face outwardly relative to the body a wearer, a liquid-pervious topsheet adapted to face the body of the wearer, and an absorbent core positioned between the backsheet and the topsheet. The topsheet is preferably elastically extensible and includes a plurality of slits or cuts that extend through the topsheet material and that enlange to define a plurality of openings in the topsheet when it is subjected to tensile forces as it is worn. The openings permit solid and semi-solid bodily exudates to pass through the topsheet to the absorbent core as the diaper is worn. Upon removal of the diaper from the body of the wearer the tensile forces within the topsheet are relaxed, thereby causing the openings in the topsheet to close and substantially conceal from view the bodily exudates that have passed through the topsheet.

Abstract: This invention describes novel charged molecules which specifically bind to the Hepreceptor, a regulatory site which I have discovered in human ezrin. M y invention is that when peptides or other charged molecules bind to the Hepreceptor, medically useful immune responses are induced. These charged molecules can be administered orally and by other routes for the treatment o f various infectious diseases and cancer. I have determined that the Heprecept or (human ezrin 308-373) comprises of two adjacent alpha helical domains which are folded together at a hinge region (M339-M340) and stabilised by complimentary side chain charges of the primary amino acid sequence in the soluble cytoplasmic conformation of ezrin. I have determined that in the unfolded membrane associated conformation of ezrin, the Hepreceptor is pushe d through the cell membrane and is exposed on the outer surface of the cell. Hepreceptor-Domain A (amino acid numbers 308-339 of human ezrin), comprises of the following 32 amino acid sequence.

Title: System and method for retrieving information with natural language queries
Inventor: KAISER MATTHIAS
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-10-24
Abstract: A search machine finds and ranks documents in a database based on a set of rules that match characteristics of the database with a natural language query. The system includes a lexicon component which may parse the query and  the database into words and word stems. Thereafter, the query and documents may be vectorized such that the elements of the vector correspond to a given  word stem, and the value of the element in the vector corresponds to the number of occurrences of the word in the document. The vectorized query is then compared and evaluated against each of the vectorized documents of the database to obtain a ranked list of documents from the database. The user ma y evaluate the documents found and provide information back to the search machine in order to adjust, for example, the ranking produced by the search machine. In this way, the search machine can fine tune its search and rankin g technique to meet the user's specific criteria.

Abstract: A thermal compensating apparatus method for maintaining a substantially constant fluid pressure within a subterranean well tool of the type that includes a bladder (25) that is selectively expandable upon the introduction of pressurized actuation fluid for actuating said tool at a location in a well. A body includes first and second fluid chambers (49, 21). The first fluid (49) chamber houses a substantially incompressible fluid and communicates with the actuating fluid used for activating said tool in the well. The second fluid chamber is charged with a compressible fluid. Both chambers (21) define first volumetric sizes within the body upon actuation of said tool in the well. The fluid chambers are operatively connected to each other without transmitting fluid there between so that changes in the volumetric size of the first chamber caused by temperature variations in the actuation fluid will change the volumetric size of the second fluid chamber for maintaining the actuating fluid at a substantially constant pressure.
