Abstract: The present invention describes a biologically compatible bioadhesive sealant composition comprising fibrin glue and liposomes for use in mammals, including humans. Fibrin glue of the invention comprises fibrinogen and thrombin which are mixed together in various modes with liposomes and applied to a site of injury, to a wound, or to a surgical or nonsurgical incision or opening. In accordance with the invention, the liposomes are embedded within the fibrin glue after coagulation has occurred, and may release bioactive substances contained within their aqueous interiors to promote healing and protection during the recovery process. The bioadhesive composition of the invention promises to maintain hemostasis after surgeries and improves upon existing glues or gel formulations due to its complete biological compatibility, its formation in situ, and its provision of bioactive therapeutics via entrapped liposomes directly to the site. Long-lasting biophysical and biomechanical properties as well as therapeutic value are imparted to the fibrin glue components by the liposome component of the composition. The biocompatible fibrin glue and liposome composition is also amenable for fabrication into films, coatings, or membranes for in vitro and in vivo uses.

Date Sep. 21, 1995A method is disclosed for conditioning samples (of e.g. milk or meat) containing fat globules and somatic cells and/or protein particles before they are subjected to fluorescence measurements in order to determine the bacterial content, as well as methods for performing the determination of bacterial content in such samples. The conditioning method involves the treatment of the samples with an ion-chelating agent, a proteolytic enzyme, detergent, and a bacteriologically specific fluorochrome such as ethidium bromide. Detergent is used in a concentration resulting in substantially no dissolution of the fat globules and the conditioned samples thus loses insignificant amounts of fat globules. The assessment of fluorescence is preferably performed in a conventional flow cytometer. As no separation of fat globules is necessary, the methods are simple and fast. The bacterial determinations have proved reliable when compared to standard methods.

Abstract: A particulate waste wood fuel comprising wood particles comprising less than 20% water by weight and having a particle size distribution suitable for combustion of the particulate wood fuel in a particulate fossil fuel suspension furnace. A method for making the particulate wood fuel includes shredding of waste wood and drying the shredded waste wood to obtain the desired particle size distribution and water content. A method for producing energy comprises injecting the particulate wood fuel into the combustion chamber of a particulate fuel suspension furnace separately from a particulate fossil fuel which is also injected into the combustion chamber. The particulate fossil fuel and particulate wood fuel are combusted in the combustion chamber in a gas flow through the combustion chamber to form a flame in the gas flow. The wood particles are substantially completely combusted within the combustion chamber while suspended in the gas flow and are not combusted at the furnace wall. The method of producing energy is particularly suited for tangentially-fired pulverized coal suspension furnaces such as are contained in some utility boilers.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to targeted gene therapy using recombinant vectors and particularly adenovirus vectors. The invention specifically relates to replication-conditional vectors and methods for using them. Such vectors are able to selectively replicate in a target tissue to provide a therapeutic benefit from the presence of the vector per se or from heterologous gene products expressed from the vector and distributed throughout the tissue. In such vectors, a gene essential for replication is placed under the control of a heterologous tissue-specific transcriptional regulatory sequence. Thus, replication is conditioned on the presence of a factor(s) that induces transcription or the absence of a factor(s) that ihibits transcription of the gene by means of the transcriptional regulatory sequence with this vector; therefore, a target tissue can be selectively treated.

Abstract: A polarized electromagnetic relay includes a base, an electromagnet with a coil and a pair of pole pieces extending perpendicularly from the end of said coil, a balanced armature and spring system which when actuated pivots between two fixed contact points and a permanent magnet inducing the same magnetic poles in both of said pole pieces and providing an opposite pole in closely adjacent relationship to the central portion of the armature. A movable contact spring is fixedly connected to the armature, said spring forming contact arms at either armature end portion. Further, a flexible movable braid connects the movable contacts on said movable spring to each other and to a movable contact terminal. A pair of retaining tabs extending from a central bobbin flange engaging corresponding recesses at the lateral sides of the armature limits the movement of the armature in two directions as well as its rotation. This feature eliminates the need for a torsion spring and allows the contact forces to be higher if necessary. Two identical coils wound in a common direction are provided as the means for actuation. Armature transfer will occur by either applying a voltage pulse across the appropriate coil, or by toggling the voltage pulse polarity across the two coils connected in series.

Abstract: Un dispositif à jet d'encre fonctionnant à l'aide d'un gaz, utilisable dans les imprimantes à jet d'encre, comporte un boîtier de transducteur doté d'une pluralité de passages à encre et il peut être utilisé avec de l'encre solide ou thermofusible. Ledit dispositif fonctionne à l'aide d'une source d'air comprimé assurant la formation d'un écoulement d'air laminaire à travers un orifice d'éjection de l'encre. De ce fait, les ligaments ou gouttelettes d'encre subissent une accélération uniforme en direction du support d'impression, et le flux laminaire à grande vitesse réduit le frottement au niveau de l'orifice, ce qui limite la formation de ligaments d'encre ou de gouttelettes satellites. On peut fabriquer ledit dispositif en assemblant différents éléments en couches. On augmente ainsi l'efficacité et la facilité de fabrication des dispositifs à jet liquide à matrices multiples. En raison de la structure en couches utilisée, les passages à encre et les chambres à air peuvent être placés chacun dans un élément en couches sélectionné ou dans plusieurs éléments en couches. La localisation des passages à encre à l'intérieur de la même couche ou structure (par ex. le boîtier de transducteur) qu'un organe de chauffe, permet d'améliorer les possibilités de chauffage. La localisation des passages à encre dans le boîtier du transducteur permet également de minimiser la largeur globale du dispositif.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for inverting 3-D seismic reflection data obtained from seismic surveys to derive impedance models for a subsurface region, and for inversion of multiple 3-D seismic surveys (i.e., 4-D seismic surveys) of the same subsurface volume, separated in time to allow for dynamic fluid migration, such that small scale structure and regions of fluid and dynamic fluid flow within the subsurface volume being studied can be identified. The method allows for the mapping and quantification of available hydrocarbons within a reservoir and is thus useful for hydrocarbon prospecting and reservoir management. An iterative seismic inversion scheme constrained by actual well log data which uses a time/depth dependent seismic source function is employed to derive impedance models from 3-D and 4-D seismic datasets. The impedance values can be region grown to better isolate the low impedance hydrocarbon bearing regions. Impedance data derived from multiple 3-D seismic surveys of the same volume can be compared to identify regions of dynamic evolution and bypassed pay. Effective Oil Saturation or net oil thickness can also be derived from the impedance data and used for quantitative assessment of prospective drilling targets and reservoir management.
