Title: Process for preparing carboxylic acids
Inventor: RINGER JAMES WILLIAM
IPC: C07C59/08
Filed: 1999-09-14
Abstract: Aliphatic primary alcohols, including aliphatic primary alcohols possessing one or more oxygen, nitrogen and/or phosphorus heteroatoms that may be atoms substituting for carbon atoms in the alkyl group or component atoms of substituents on the alkyl group, were converted into salts of carboxylic acids by contacting an alkaline aqueous solution of the primary alcohol with a catalyst comprising cobalt, copper, and at least one of cerium, iron, zinc, and zirconium.  Diethanolamine, for example, was converted to sodium iminodiacetate by treatment in an aqueous medium containing sodium hydroxyde with a catalyst that was obtained by reducing a mixture of cobalt, copper, and zirconium oxides with hydrogen.

Inventor: COLLING RONALD W
IPC: G05G1/30
Filed: 2001-07-20
Abstract: A welding machine foot control has exceptional convenience for routing the control cable to the welding machine and stability against tipping over. The foot control enclosure has openings for the control cable on multiple walls such that the cable can emerge from a desired side of the enclosure for routing convenience. A stabilizer on the bottom of the enclosure adds weight at a low center of gravity. The stabilizer also increases the footprint and wear resistance of the foot control.      A base combines the features of cable routing convenience and stability. The base has a top flange that mounts over a bottom cover of the foot control enclosure. Multiple walls diverge from the top flange toward a bottom flange. There is a slot through the top flange and adjacent portion of each wall. The cable standing end passes through a notch in a base top flange and associated wall and lies alongside the bottom cover. The cable running end is arranged to emerge from a selected wall of the base through the associated slot. A cable strain relief is formed by an arm in the base.

Title: Needle protection apparatus used with a vial
Inventor: SIMPSON RODDI J
IPC: A61M5/24
Filed: 2000-01-10
Abstract: A needle protection device (2) for a vial (16) has a collar (4) at the base of which a number of finger grippers (6) extend. The collar (4) is placed about the hub (10) of a vial (16), and pushed there along until the gripper fingers (6) snap over the bottom surface of the needle hub (10) so as to fixedly couple the collar (4) to the needle hub (10) of the vial (16).  Flexibly extending from the collar (4) is a housing (6) that is pivotable to a position in alignment along the longitudinal axis of the vial (16) for enveloping the needle (12), to thereby prevent the needle (12) from being exposed to the environment. A hook (18) integrated to the inside of the housing (6) ensures that the needle (12), the housing (6) could no longer move relative to each other once the hook (18) snaps over, and traps the needle (18), as the housing (6) is pivoted to its alignment position.

Title: Methods and systems for coding of broadcast messages
Inventor: RAITH ALEX KRISTER
IPC: H04J3/00
Filed: 1999-12-13
Abstract: A message is wirelessly broadcast to wireless terminals by error cor-rection coding the message to produce an error correction coded message block, di-viding the error correction coded message block into frames and error correction cod-ing the frames to produce error correction coded frames. The error correction coding frames are wirelessly broadcast to the wireless terminals. At the wireless terminals, the frames are received and the frames are error correction decoded to produce error correction decoded frames. The error correction decoded frames are combined into a message block, and the message block is error correction decoded to produce the message. By error correction coding the entire message in addition to error correc-tion coding the frames of the message, long messages may be reliably broadcast and received notwithstanding fading and the other problems in the transmission.  Accord-ingly, a broadcast channel that is designed for short message usage also may be used to reliably transmit long messages. The invention may, for example, be applicable to a TDMA system that includes a Digital Control CHannel (DCCH) having a short message Service Broadcast Control CHannel (S-BCCH) logical channel. The error correction coded frames are placed in the S-BCCH logical channel. The S-BCCH  logical channel is then wirelessly broadcast to the radiotelephones in a plurality of TDMA time slots.

Filed: 2000-03-16
Abstract: L'invention concerne des dispositifs et des méthodes utilisés pour administrer par voie générale du fentanyl ou une substance générique du fentanyl (par exemple, le sufentanil) afin de traiter la douleur. Selon l'invention, la formulation pharmaceutique comprenant du fentanyl ou une substance générique du fentanyl est placée dans un dispositif d'administration de médicaments (par exemple, il est contenu dans un réservoir ou enduit dans une matrice à l'intérieur du dispositif d'administration à débit régulé de médicaments). La formulation pharmaceutique comprend une quantité de médicament suffisante pour le traitement et présente une stabilité aux températures corporelles (c'est à dire, qu'il n'y a aucune dégradation inacceptable) durant toute la durée pré-établie du traitement. Les dispositifs d'administration de médicaments conservent la formulation pharmaceutique en toute sécurité (par exemple, sans libération massive), ils procurent une protection suffisante contre les composés corporels pour empêcher une dégradation inacceptable de la formulation et ils libèrent la formulation pharmaceutique à un débit régulé et en quantité thérapeutique efficace pour traiter la douleur. Dans la pratique, le dispositif d'administration de médicaments est implanté dans le corps du sujet sur un site d'implantation, la formulation pharmaceutique étant libérée du dispositif d'administration de médicaments pour aller vers le site d'administration. Le site d'administration peut se trouver au même endroit, à proximité ou à distance du site d'implantation. Une fois libérée dans le site d'administration, la formulation pharmaceutique pénètre la circulation systémique et elle est véhiculée jusqu'au site d'action dans le corps pour moduler la réaction à la douleur (par exemple, l'encéphale ou autre endroit sensible à la douleur).

Title: Process for making a wheyless cream cheese using transglutaminase
Inventor: HAN XIAO-QING
IPC: A23C19/028
Filed: 2002-01-29
Abstract: The current invention includes a process for making cream cheese wherein nutrients typically lost as whey during processing are utilized in the final cream cheese; the resulting cream cheese has the body, texture, and taste of conventional cream cheese. The process of the current invention utilizes acidifying and cross-linking steps to process a dairy liquid into a wheyless cream cheese by utilizing the protein cross-linking activity of transglutaminase. The wheyless cream cheese does not require the addition of stabilizers and/or emulsifiers. Furthermore, the cream cheese that is formed is firmer than typical cream cheese and has significantly reduced syneresis.

Title: Enriched antigen-specific t-cells, and related therapeutic and prophylactic compositions and methods
Inventor: JACKSON MICHAEL
IPC: C12N5/0783
Filed: 2000-04-13
Abstract: T-cell responses are initiated via contact with MHC/peptide complexes on antigen presenting cells (APCs). The fate of these complexes, however, is unknown. Here, using live APCs expressing MHC class I  molecules fused with green-fluorescent protein, we show that peptide-specific T-cell/APC interaction induces clusters of MHC I  molecules to congregate within minutes at the contact site; thereafter, these MHC I clusters are acquired by T-cells in small aggregates. We further demonstrate that acquisition of MHC I by T-cells correlates with TCR down regulation and the APC-derived MHC I molecules are endocytosed and degrated by T-cells. These data suggest a novel mechanism by which TCR recognition of MHC/peptide complexes can be curtailed by internalization of MHC molecules by T-cells.
