Title: Selective photothermolysis of the skin
Inventor: AZAR ZION
IPC: A61B18/20
Filed: 1999-04-20
Granted: 2003-01-02
Abstract: A method and apparatus for selective photothermolysis of a target tissue within surrounding tissue. The target and the surrounding tissue are heated to a predetermined temperature of about 60° C. by a pulsed heat source such as a flash lamp which creates a temperature gradient in the air included in a cavity formed between the housing of the apparatus and the surrounding tissue. The surface temperature of the tissue is monitored by a sensor unit. When the tissue surface reaches the predetermined temperature the target tissue is heated to the point of coagulation, preferably by narrow band electromagnetic radiation. The temperature difference between the coagulating target and the surrounding tissue is sufficiently mild that heat diffusing out of the target does not damage the surrounding tissue, even in the case of a relatively large target such as varicose veins. The heating action may be terminated by automatically pumping air or another suitable coolant into the cavity when the surface of the tissue reaches a preset value or by lifting the apparatus off the tissue. The apparatus may include a programmable controller which may be programmed locally or remotely with the treatment parameters.

Title: Improvements in or relating to animal collars
Inventor: CORRIGAN EUGENE JAMES
IPC: A01K27/00
Filed: 1985-10-11
Granted: 1989-08-03
Abstract: 57 Co-extruded insectidical pet collars contain one or more active insecticidal components in a desired relationship to the skin of the animal. The outside layer (away from the skin) contains carbamate, organo-phosphate chlorinated hydrocarbon or other insecticide that is irritating to the skin, or a cholinesterase inhibitor. The inside layer acts as a barrier to the insecticide. The layers of a multi-layered collar which is prepared by extrusion may also contain different insecticidal systems. A co-extruded collar is prepared by preparing two blends which have varying concentrations of active and/or inert ingredients, depending on the end product which is desired. Each of the blends is fed into an extruder wherein the polyvinyl chloride is fused. The melt blend from extruder B is then transferred to the die of extruder A where it becomes an integral part of the extruded strip from extruder A.

Title: Non-reverting double mutant salmonella live vaccines
Inventor: STOCKER BRUCE A D
IPC: C12R1/42
Filed: 1985-11-15
Granted: 1989-06-08
Abstract: Live vaccines are provided and methods for preparing the live vaccines for protection of a host from a pathogenic microorganism. The vaccines are prepared by introducing at least one modification in a gene involved in at least one, normally at least two, biosynthetic pathways, involving the production of products which are unlikely to be found in the disease susceptible host. The modification results in a gene change which cannot be repaired by a single step e.g. polynucleotide deletions and inversions. Where the aro gene suffers such a change, the resultant auxotrophic mutants require aromatic amino acids, p-aminobenzoic acid and 2, 3-dihydroxybenzoic acid or a highly concentrated source of absorbable iron. The auxotrophic mutations have substantially reduced or nonexistent virulence, while retaining the desired immunogenicity to initiate the immunogenic response. Various techniques can be employed for providing the desired change. Salmonella typhimurium strain SL1479 was deposited at the ATCC on September 7, 1982 and given ATGG Accession No. 39183; Salmonella dublin strain SL1438 was deposited on September 7, 1982 at the ATCC and given ATCC Accession No. 39184. Salmonella typhi strain 531Ty was deposited at the ATCC on November 21, 1984, and granted ATCC Accession No. 39926. This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Serial No. 675,381, filed November 27, 1984 which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Serial No. 415,291, filed September 7, 1982 now U.S. Patent No. 4,550,081, issued October 29, 1985, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Serial No. 151,002, filed May 19, 1980, now abandoned, which disclosures are incorporated herein by reference.

Title: Matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor peptides
IPC: C07K1/22
Filed: 1990-03-21
Granted: 1993-02-25
Abstract: The present invention is an isolated protein of 21,600 Da which binds to both latent and activated type IV collagenase with high affinity at 1:1 molar stoichiometry, thereby abolishing enzyme activity. The protein is purified by affinity chromatography on solid phase metalloproteinase, or solid phase metalloproteinase substrates which bind the enzyme-inhibitor complex. The complete primary structure of this protein (initially called CSC-21K), as determined by sequencing overlapping peptides spanning the entire protein, reveals homology with a protein called TIMP, Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases. In addition, a cDNA for this novel inhibitor, now designated TIMP-2, was cloned from a melanoma cell and its sequence was compared with that of human TIMP-1. Northern blots of melanoma cell mRNA showed two distinct transcripts of 0.9 kb and 3.5 kb which are down-regulated by transforming growth factor- beta , and are unchanged by phorbol ester treatment. The inhibitor of the present invention may be used for treatment of pathologic conditions resulting from inappropriate degradation of extracellular matrix molecules by matrix metalloproteinases, such as metastatic neoplasia, myocardial infarction, and arthritis. Therapeutic treatments using this inhibitor may include formulations for inhalation and inclusion complexes adapted for buccal or sublingual administration, or administration of a recombinant DNA molecule which expresses a DNA segment that encodes the matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor of this invention.

Date May 16, 1991.In an air suspension system of a vehicle the height of the vehicle platform is maintained in use by height control valves. To facilitate loading, the height may be adjusted by an operator by overriding the height control valves by means of a selector valve. The height may then be adjusted by a Raise/Lower valve. If the operator omits to return the selector valve and/or the Raise/Lower valve to their normal condition, the selector valve is reverted to its normal condition by a pilot line connected to a service brake line so that the vehicle automatically returns to its normal ride height on the first brake application. Alternatively the valve may be operated by a solenoid connected to the brake light circuit so that the service brake line is not affected. In an alternative arrangement, the suspension system height is adjusted by two manually-operable spring-return valves. Again, a selector valve reverts to a condition in which ride height is attained on application of the service brake.
