Patent BR-9916197-A (BR)
Inventor: EHRENREICH HANNELORE
IPC: A61K38/22
Filed: 1999-12-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the treatment of cerebral ischaemia and a drug for the treatment of cerebral ischaemia in particular in humans, as occurs for example in the case of stroke patients. It was found surprisingly that peripheral administering of erythropoietin to the cerebral tissue affected by the ischaemia has a distinctly protective effect. Erythropoietin has the effect thereby that the region of the cerebral tissue which is damaged permanently, in particular in the penumbra, is dramatically reduced relative to conventional measures in the case of cerebral ischaemia without erythropoietin administration.

Title: Material elástico laminado e processo para formar um material elástico possuindo alta elasticidade
Inventor: TAYLOR JACK D
IPC: D04H13/00
Filed: 1999-11-04
Abstract: "MATERIAL ELáSTICO LAMINADO E PROCESSO PARA FORMAR UM MATERIAL ELáSTICO POSSUINDO ALTA ELASTICIDADE". Um laminado que possui uma extensibilidade aperfeiçoada é feito de uma camada de folha elástica pré-esticada e ligada a pelo menos uma camada extensível. Em uma primeira modalidade, a camada elástica é ligada em locais selecionados a uma camada extensível e, então, aquecida. A extensibilidade latente da camada elástica pré-esticada e a extensibilidade da camada extensível produzem a extensibilidade desejada que é útil em cintas, acolchoamentos laterais e abas laterais de fraldas e calças plásticas. Fraldas e calças plásticas feitas com tal material podem caber em um grande número de tamanhos de manequim devido a sua extensibilidade aperfeiçoada. Em uma segunda modalidade, a película é pré esticada em direção de cruz e na direção da máquina, e então laminada até uma camada extensível, resultando em uma extensibilidade bidirecional. A camada elástica pode ser furada. Os furos produzem um laminado que é respirável e ao mesmo tempo mantendo a extensibilidade melhorada.

Title: Simple supplementary service protocol for H.323 systems
Inventor: TAM TERRY
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 2000-01-17
Abstract: A simple supplementary service protocol (SSSP) is provided for implementing functionally based supplementary services using the H.323 standard. According to the preferred embodiment, a generic and expandable protocol is provided for passing supplementary services information between H.323 entities for the provision of over twenty classes of functionally based supplementary services. The protocol of the present invention is relatively lightweight (i.e. not code intensive) compared to H.450 since it does not rely on ASN.1 encoding. In addition, the mixture of functional and stimulus protocol concepts in the design of the inventive protocol results in robust functional characteristics and implementation capability using only lightweight Endpoints. Protocol Data Units (PDUs) encoded in accordance with the SSSP comprise an identifier field, end tag field and parameters extension field. The identifier and end tag fields are separated by the parameters extension field. Also mentioned is a user interface with a display which alternates between a feature display for displaying supplementary feature information and a default display for displaying non-SSSP information.

Title: A distributed file system using autonomous disks
Inventor: MUKHERJEE SARIT
IPC: G06F15/16
Filed: 2000-06-30
Abstract: A distributed file system (DFS), for a storage area network (SAN), is constructed using autonomous disks (AD) 1-N. The autonomous disks are able to perform lightweight file system related processing (ie managing free lists) and can be implemented through the use of active network attached disks, or regular work stations. The DFS includes an autonomous attribute disk 44 that stores the file system's meta-data and directory structure and autonomous application data disks 42 that store application data. The directory structure is stored on the attribute disks using the native file system (eg NTFS). One of the clients of the file system is utilized as a configuration manager (CM) (18, fig 3) to control access to the system. The DFS kernel is distributed across the CM, user hosts and the ADs. The DFS employs agents to support real-time applications and concurrent read/write to files. Has application to multimedia data storage.

Title: Testing for colour preference and light sensitivity using tinted lenses
Inventor: GRIFFITHS GERAINT WILLIAM
IPC: A61B3/06
Filed: 2001-04-10
Abstract: The apparatus may consist of 6 pairs of coloured lenses (pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet) and one pair of grey neutral density filters, glazed into lorgnettes. Each set of lenses is held close to the subject's eyes in turn, who is asked to say if he likes the feel of the lens or hates it or something in between. When a selection of lenses have been chosen as good and bad, the choice may be further refined by forcing a choice between successive pairs (is it better with number 1 or number 2) until a single colour is left of the favourite ones and a single colour of the worst ones. It has been shown that colour preference is specific to individuals and groups and needs to be taken into account together with the physical properties of the tint or filter when prescribing. Prescribing of tint is important in many areas. It can help to prevent serious eye disease, visual discomfort and relieve the symptoms of migraine and dyslexia.
Patent GB-2368636-A (GB)
Title: A method of investigating vibrations and an apparatus therefor
Inventor: ROGOYSKI ANDREW
IPC: G01H9/00
Filed: 2001-04-12
Abstract: In order to investigate and analyse vibrations of any object, light from a laser 12 is split with part being emitted to an object 15 and part being mixed with the light 16 reflected from the object to create an interference signal. That interference signal is investigated to derive therefrom a signal representing the vibrations of the object. If there is bulk movement of the object, the effect of that bulk movement may impose a Doppler shift on the reflected light. To eliminate this from the investigation of the vibrations of the object, an estimate of frequency corresponding to the effect of the bulk movement is derived from the signal, and used to derive a signal of reduced bandwidth encompassing the frequency due to the bulk movement and also the frequencies of vibration. Thus, the vibrations can then be derived and investigated from analysis of that signal of reduced bandwidth.

Title: Two part flexible or folding golf tee
Inventor: MAIDMENT LESLIE
IPC: A63B57/00
Filed: 2002-02-23
Abstract: Two part golf tee 1 is connected by way of eye or ring 7 provided on shank part 3, and hook 6 provided on cup part 2. The circumferential thickness 8, 9, 10 of eye 7 varies in order that hook 6 can only be attached or detached from the eye when the cup and shank parts assume a particular rotational relationship. Eye 7 has upper projection 12 which mates with recess 13 on the inside of hook 6 in order to lock parts 2, 3 together in the correct orientation to form an upstanding tee. In use, the hook/eye fastener allows cup part 2 to rotate relative to shank part 3 in the direction of the swing so as to reduce the stress felt by the tee upon impact with a club, whilst preventing the parts from becoming unfastened. Pointer 5, provided on cup part 2, is aligned with the intended direction of the shot to ensure that tee 1 is correctly aligned in order to allow rotation of cup part 2 relative to shank part 3 upon impact with the club.
