Abstract: A memory is used as a data buffer and switch between devices producing and consuming data in combination with a separate control channel which conveys flow control information between the devices connected through the memory. The control channel includes a signal sent from a sender to a receiver indicating the amount of data written into the memory and granting the receiver permission to read data from the memory. The receiver replies with a signal indicating the amount of data read from the memory and permitting the sender to write data to the memory. This control channel reduces transfer latency incurred by managing memory coherency in applications with irregular rates of either sending or receiving data which may result from using from using controlled flow interconnect protocols.

Abstract: A method to treat cancer uses ultrapheresis, refined to remove compounds of less than 120,000 daltons molecular weight, followed by administration of replacement fluid, to stimulate the patient's immune system to attack solid tumors. In the preferred embodiment, the patient is ultrapheresed using a capillary tube ultrafilter having a pore size of 0.02 to 0.05 microns, with a molecular weight cutoff of 120,000 daltons, sufficient to filter one blood volume. The preferred replacement fluid is ultrapheresed normal plasma. The patient is preferably treated daily for three weeks, diagnostic tests conducted to verify that there has been shrinkage of the tumors, then the treatment regime is repeated. The treatment is preferably combined with an alternative therapy, for example, treatment with an anti-angiogenic compound, one or more cytokines such as TNF, gamma interferon, or IL-2, or a procoagulant compound. The treatment increases endogenous, local levels of cytokines, such as TNF. This provides a basis for an improved effect when combined with any treatment that enhances cytokine activity against the tumors, for example, treatments using alkylating agents, doxyrubicin, carboplatinum, cisplatinum, and taxol. Alternatively, the ultrapheresis treatment can be combined with local chemotherapy, systemic chemotherapy, and/or radiation.

Abstract: A transceiver (100) comprises a stacked metal laminate assembly of a plurality of layers (104-112) inside an enclosure (102). A first layer (104) forms an antenna. A second layer (106) forms a ground plane for the antenna. A third layer (108) forms "front-end" filters (duplexer). A fourth layer (110) together with the second layer forms an electromagnetic isolation enclosure for the filters. A  fifth layer (112) comprises a PC board with electronic circuits of the transceiver mounted thereon, and is both mounted to and electronically shielded by the fourth layer. Each of the first through fourth layers is preferably made from a single metal layer, such as a sheet of metal, by stamping. Each of the first through fourth layers is either bent along its periphery into a substantially "cake-pan" shape, or is flat and has a separate side wall (130) attached thereto. Flanges (122 and 124) that are unitarily formed with the filters extend through orifices (126 and 128) in the second and fourth layers to connect the filters with the antenna and the electronic circuits. The connections may be conductive or capacitive. The assembly is put together by stacking the first through fourth layers and then epoxying, soldering, or welding them together.

Title: Microcomponent assembly for efficient contacting of fluid
Inventor: CALL CHARLES J
IPC: B01B1/00
Filed: 1999-06-08
Granted: 2010-01-05
Abstract: The present invention is a fundamental method and apparatus of a microcomponent assembly that overcomes the inherent limitations of state of the art chemical separations. The fundamental element enabling miniaturization is the porous contactor (200) contained within a microcomponent assembly for mass transfer of a working compound from a first medium to a second medium. The porous contactor (200) has a thickness, and a plurality of pores extending through the thickness. The pores are of a geometry cooperating with a boundary tension of one or the other or both of the media thereby preventing migration of one, other or both through the microporous contactor while permitting passage of the working compound. In the microcomponent assembly, the porous contactor (200) is placed between a first laminate (208) such that a first space or first microplenum is formed between the microporous contactor (200) and the first laminate (208).  Additionally, a cover sheet (206) provides a second space or second plenum between the porous contactor and the cover sheet.
