Abstract: The invention is generally directed to methods of promoting normal respiratory tract airflow in subjects with restricted airflow and ciliary clearance caused by the presence of pathological airway contents, and particularly mucoid contents. Actin-binding proteins are administered into the respiratory tract of a subject with a pathological respiratory condition involving the presence of such contents. The actin-binding protein binds to actin polymers in the contents and decreases the viscosity. The actin binding proteins also prevent actin from binding to exogenous or endogenous DNase, thus increasing the degradation of DNA polymers in the contents.

Abstract: A monolithic diode pumped solid-state laser (11) comprising as the laser host neodymium-doped yttrium orthovanadate (Nd:YVO4) (12, 52) or neodymium-doped gadolinium orthovanadate (Nd:GdVO4) (57, 67) operating on the 4F3/2->4I9/2 ( DIFFERENCE 914 nm or  DIFFERENCE 912 nm respectively) transition, to which a suitable nonlinear optic material (16), such as potassium niobate (KNbO3) or beta barium borate (BBO), is bonded. The nonlinear crystal gives rise to intracavity frequency doubling to  DIFFERENCE 457 or  DIFFERENCE 456 nm. The microlaser is a composite cavity formed from a gain medium crystal and a nonlinear frequency doubling material which together have four spaced parallel dielectrically coated faces (14, 17, 18, 15) and which is positioned in close proximity to a diode laser pump source (13) for phase-matched harmonic generation of blue light along an axis of propagation which lies substantially perpendicular to the two faces of the composite cavity. By employing specific doping concentration-lengths products of lasant material and pumping the gain medium which has a specific crystalline orientation the desired efficient blue microlaser is achieved. Alternative embodiments combine the Nd:YVO4 and Nd:GdVO4 elements to enhance certain output characteristics of the laser.

Abstract: A teleconferencing system that integrates separate real-time and asynchronous networks - the former for real-time audio and video, and the latter for control signals and textual, graphical and other data - in a manner which closely approximates the experience of face-to-face collaboration. The system provides an audio/video (AV) path (13) for carrying AV signal among the workstations, a video mosaic generator (36) for combining images, and an audio summer or mixer (38). At least part of the AV path (13b) is implemented with unshielded twisted pair wiring. The system architecture is readily scalable to the largest enterprise network environments. It accommodates differing levels of collaborative capabilities available to individual users and permits high-quality audio and video capabilities to be readily superimposed onto existing personal computers and workstations (12) and their interconnecting LANs (10) and WANs (15). In the case of a plurality of geographically dispersed LANs (10) interconnected by a WAN (15), the demands made on the WAN are significantly reduced by employing multi-hopping techniques, including avoiding the unnecessary decompression of data at intermediate hops, as well as video mosaicing and cut-and-paste technology.

Abstract: A clip, clip applier and method for ligating a tissue structure is provided. The applier has a two stage actuation. In the first stage, a tissue structure is positioned into the jaws of the clip applier The jaws close and lock to a preset force to compress and temporarily occlude the tissue structure. If satisfactorily positioned, the second stage is initiated in which a clip is advanced through the shaft of the clip applier in a closed position. At the distal end of the clip applier, the clip is opened slightly to capture the pre-compressed tissue structure, and is placed over the structure. The clip is then dissociated from the business end of the instrument. Preferably the clip comprises two leg members disposed in close proximity to one another joined from opposing directions by a connecting element. The connecting element restricts separation of the leg members with opposing spring members so as to provide substantially uniform parallel deflection of the leg members from each other. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A polarized electromagnetic relay includes a base, an electromagnet with a coil and a pair of pole pieces extending perpendicularly from the end of said coil, a balanced armature and spring system which when actuated pivots between two fixed contact points and a permanent magnet inducing the same magnetic poles in both of said pole pieces and providing an opposite pole in closely adjacent relationship to the central portion of the armature. A movable contact spring is fixedly connected to the armature, said spring forming contact arms at either armature end portion. Further, a flexible movable braid connects the movable contacts on said movable spring to each other and to a movable contact terminal. A pair of retaining tabs extending from a central bobbin flange engaging corresponding recesses at the lateral sides of the armature limits the movement of the armature in two directions as well as its rotation. This feature eliminates the need for a torsion spring and allows the contact forces to be higher if necessary. Two identical coils wound in a common direction are provided as the means for actuation. Armature transfer will occur by either applying a voltage pulse across the appropriate coil, or by toggling the voltage pulse polarity across the two coils connected in series.

Abstract: A threaded coupling assembly is provided for interconnecting the ends of first and second fluid-carrying conduit members in fixed releasably locking relationship. First and second coupling members are circumferentially engageable with the ends of the conduit members to hold them in fluid communication. The coupling members are rotatable in a locking direction and in an opposite unlocking direction. The first coupling member has a peripheral facing surface with a pair of annular slots, each of a different length and width. The second coupling member has a lock ring longitudinally slidable thereon with a facing surface having a pair of annular raised locking tabs. Each locking tab is of a predetermined height but of a different length and width which corresponds to the respective length and width of the annular slots. A resilient annular spring urges the lock ring toward the first coupling member so that the locking tabs engage their respective slots when the coupling is tightened to a predetermined extent during rotation in the locking direction to releasably and positively lock the coupling. An indicator stripe is provided on the peripheral edge of the first coupling member which is exposed before the locking tabs and slots are engaged. The indicator stripe is no wider than the height of the locking tabs so that it is covered by the lock ring when the lock ring snaps into locking engagement to provide a visual indication to the mechanic that the coupling assembly is positively locked.
