Title: Polyclonal-monoclonal elisa assay for detecting n-terminus probnp
Inventor: KUPCHAK PETER
IPC: G01N33/74
Filed: 2003-11-17
Abstract: A specific and sensitive in vitro ELISA assay and diagnostic test kit is disclosed for determining levels of NT-proBNP protein in a variety of bodily fluids, non-limiting examples of which are blood, serum, plasma, urine and the like. The NT-proBNP ELISA assay test employs the sandwich ELISA technique to measure circulating NT-proBNP in human plasma. In order to obtain antibodies with specific binding properties for targeted amino acid sequences within human proBNP, recombinant human proBNP (or rhproBNP) was expressed and purified for use as an immunogen. Polyclonal antibodies (PAb) to specific amino acid sequences were subsequently purified from goat serum by sequential affinity purification. Monoclonal antibodies were raised against specific polypeptides. Recombinant human NT-proBNP (or rhNT-proBNP) was expressed and purified in order to obtain material for use in calibration of a quantitative method for measurement of human NT-proBNP.

Title: Systems and methods for providing synchronization services for units of information manageable by a hardware/software interface system
Inventor: DEEM MICHAEL E
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2004-07-29
Abstract: Several embodiments of the present invention employ synchronization adapters for synchronizing information between "WinFS" and non-"WinFS" data sources (Figure 36, 3622/3666). Examples of adapters include an adapter that synchronizes address book information between a "WinFS" contacts folder and a non-WinFS mailbox (Figure 36, 3642). In these instances, adapter developers might use the "WinFS" synchronization core services API described herein for accessing services provided by the "WinFS" (Figure 36, 3612) synchronization platform in order to develop schema transformation code between the "WinFS"  (Figure 36, 3612) schema and the non-"WinFS" data source schema (Figure 36, 3624). Additionally, the adapter developer provides protocol support for communicating changes with the non-"WinFS" data source. A synchronization adapter (Figure 36, 3662) is invoked and controlled by using the synchronization controller API and reports progress and errors using this API  (Figure 36, 3652).

Abstract: A cuff for a blood pressure monitor has an air bag inflated/deflated as the air comes in/out. The air bag has an inner wall portion located on the inner side in the fitted state of the cuff and an outer wall portion located outer than the inner wall portion, and a side wall portion connecting side end portions of the inner and outer wall portions and folded inwards in the deflated state of the air bag to form a gusset at each side end portion of the air bag. A bonded portion is provided at a region of the air bag in its winding direction around the living body, for reducing expansion of the gusset formed by the side wall portion. Thus, occurrence of lateral displacement of the cuff is prevented, and a highly reliable blood pressure monitor of high performance can be obtained.

Abstract: A system and method determine when fluid is not flowing properly from a secondary infusion source during a secondary infusion. The system includes an upstream pressure sensor and a processor programmed to receive signals from the sensor and analyze the signals to determine if secondary fluid flow is proper. The processor samples the output signals from the upstream pressure sensor and analyzes the sampled signals to determine if a pressure rise in the infusion line has occurred when the secondary infusion is initiated. If a pressure rise, indicating that fluid from the secondary container has begun flowing into the infusion line, has not been detected, the processor is programmed to provide a signal indicating that attention should be given to the infusion set up.
