Abstract: A disc component 2 for a gas turbine engine is produced from a workpiece 4 by a sequence of machining operations. During the machining operations, the workpiece 4 is supported by a fixture 36 engaging support surfaces 32, 34. The workpiece 4 remains secured to the fixture 36 throughout the sequence of machining operations so that these operations can be conducted on both faces 26, 28 of a disc portion 8 of the workpiece 4 without removing the workpiece 4 from the fixture 36. The machining operations are conducted alternately on the opposite faces 26, 28 in order to allow residual stresses in the workpiece 4 to dissipate in a controlled manner.

Title: Method and apparatus for enabling a user to send a call to selected receivers
Inventor: SELIGMANN DOREE DUNCAN
IPC: H04W4/02
Filed: 2004-09-08
Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling a user of a telecommunications terminal to
specify desired characteristics for the recipients of a call (e.g. the recipient or recipients
can be users, for example, mobile users with certain characteristics or profile associated.
A "call" can be a voice telepone call, a videophone call, an email,...) instead
of a contact identifier (a contact identifier can be a telephone number,
an email address, an IP protocol address, etc.) are
disclosed. When a user of a telecommunication terminal needs to contacts
someone having a certain profile (or following certain criteria), the
invention gives the opporunity to preselect a series of parameters
that the recipient or recipients must fulfil.
The illustrative embodiment enables a user to specify one or more of the
following criteria for a recipient: (i) a role requirement that specifies a role ( e.g ., a nurse, a
doctor,  etc .); (ii) a capability requirement that specifies one or more capabilities ( e.g ., able
to speak Spanish,  etc .); (iii) a location requirement ( e.g ., on the third floor of Building A,
 etc .); and (iv) a cardinality descriptor for the number of recipients ( e.g ., one recipient, at
least three recipients,  etc .). The illustrative embodiment also employs availability data
( e.g ., a schedule,  etc .) and rules to determine whether a particular person is available to
receive a call.

Abstract: A voltage supply interface provides both coarse and fine current control with reduced series resistance. The voltage supply interface has a segmented switch having N component switches that are digitally controlled. The voltage supply interface replaces a conventional sense resistor with a calibration circuit that has a replica switch that is a replica of the N component switches. The calibration circuit includes a reference current I REF  that is sourced through the replica switch. A voltage comparator forces a common voltage drop across the replica switch and the n-of-N activated component switches so that the cumulative current draw through the segmented switch is n·I REF . The current control of the voltage interface can be coarsely tuned by activating or deactivating component switches, and can be finely tuned by adjusting the reference current. The current sense resistor is eliminated so that the overall series resistance is lower.

Abstract: Cell-based gene transfer is effected by administering transfected fibroblast cells, from dermal or other origins, containing an expressible transgene coding for an angiogenic factor or other therapeutic factor, into the pulmonary circulation of a patient, where the cells express and secrete expression products of the transgene to act locally at the site of expression, and in some cases to be conveyed by the patient's circulation to other body organs. The process is especially useful in treatment of pulmonary hypertension by means of expressed angiogenic factors.
