Title: GPS-based underwater cable positioning system
Inventor: ROUQUETTE ROBERT E
IPC: G01S5/14
Filed: 2003-05-22
Granted: 2009-01-22
Abstract: A GPS-based underwater cable positioning system for use in determining the shape and position of hydrophone streamers towed underwater behind survey vessels involved in marine seismic prospecting. The system includes a plurality of surface units towed behind the vessel. Each surface unit includes a GPS receiver to receive radio frequency GPS signals and to determine its positions. Each surface unit also has an acoustic transmitter to transmit an acoustic message signal representing its position and an optional time stamp into the water. Acoustic receiver units, attached spaced apart locations along one or more streamer cables, each include an acoustic receiver to receive the acoustic message signals from the surface units and to determine its position from the message signals. To augment the message signals from the surface units at locations distant from the surface units, acoustic transceiver units may be used. The acoustic transceiver units are attached to the streamer cables at ranges between the surface units and distant acoustic receiver units. The acoustic transceiver units each include an acoustic receiver that performs as the receivers in the acoustic receiver units and an acoustic transmitter to transmit acoustic message signals representing its position and an optional time stamp into the water to be received by the acoustic receiver units. In this way, the positions and shapes of towed streamer cables can be determined.

Title: Electrocatheter for Inducing Vessel Stenosys Having Two Arrays of Diverging Electrodes
Inventor: JONES CHRISTOPHER
IPC: A61B17/22
Filed: 2004-06-11
Granted: 2007-05-24
Abstract: A catheter includes a first plurality of expandable leads and a second plurality of expandable leads separate and longitudinally spaced-apart from the first plurality to deliver energy to a hollow anatomical structure, such as vein, fallopian tube, hemorrhoid, esophageal varix, to effectively ligate that structure. Each of the leads includes an electrode located at the distal end of the respective electrode lead. Polarizations of the leads may be selected to achieve the power distribution desired. Each electrode lead includes an outward bend such that when a movable sheath is moved out of contact with the leads, they expand outwardly into apposition with an inner wall of the structure to be ligated. High frequency energy can be applied from the leads to create a heating effect in the surrounding tissue of the anatomical structure. The diameter of the hollow anatomical structure is reduced by the heating effect, and the electrodes are freely moved inward by the shrinking structure while still maintaining apposition with the inner wall of the shrinking structure.

Title: Treatment of cancer with a combination of an agent that perturbs the EGF signaling pathway and an oligonucleotide that reduces clusterin levels
Inventor: MARTIN GLEAVE
IPC: A61P35/00
Filed: 2005-11-22
Granted: 2011-07-21
Abstract: Agents that perturb the EGF signaling pathway and that are known to be useful in the treatment of cancer are found also to result in increased expression of the protein clusterin. Since clusterin can provide protection against apoptosis, this secondary effect detracts from the efficacy of the therapeutic agent. This is overcome using a combination of an agent that has known therapeutic efficacy against the cancer to be treated by perturbation of the EGF signaling pathway and that stimulates expression of clusterin as a secondary effect, and an oligonucleotide that is effective to reduce the amount of clusterin in cancer cells. For example, the agent may be an antibody specific for HER-2, a small molecule inhibitor of HER-2, an antisense oligonucleotide specific for HER-2, or a peptide agent capable of interfering with HER-2 protein. The oligonucleotide may be an antisense oligonucleotide or an RNAi oligonucleotide.

Title: System and method for thinning of scalable video coding bit-streams
Inventor: HONG DANNY
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 2007-02-16
Granted: 2011-07-28
Abstract: A system for videoconferencing that offers, among other features, extremely low end-to-end delay as well as very high scalability. The system accommodates heterogeneous receivers and networks, as well as the best-effort nature of networks such as those based on the Internet Protocol. The system relies on scalable video coding to provide a coded representation of a source video signal at multiple temporal, quality, and spatial resolutions. These resolutions are represented by distinct bitstream components that are created at each end-user encoder. System architecture and processes called SVC Thinning allow the separation of data into data used for prediction in other pictures and data not used for prediction in other pictures. SVC Thinning processes, which can be performed at video conferencing endpoints or at MCUs, can selectively remove or replace with fewer bits the data not used for prediction in other pictures from transmitted bit streams. This separation and selective removal or replacement of data for transmission allows a trade-off between scalability support (i.e. number of decodable video resolutions), error resiliency and coding efficiency.
