Title: Footwear with removable foot-supporting member
Inventor: LOZANO SERGIO G
IPC: A43B13/14
Filed: 2002-11-08
Abstract: An article of footwear is disclosed having an upper, a foot-supporting member, and a sole structure. The foot-supporting member includes a heel region located at a greater elevation than a forefoot region, thereby defining a recess under the heel region. The sole structure includes a midsole that forms a protrusion on the interior of the footwear. The protrusion mates with the recess to provide support for the heel region. The foot-supporting member may also incorporate pronation control characteristics, including a downward cant from a medial to a lateral side of the foot-supporting member and a region of reduced support generally underlying the first metatarsal. To further reduce the rate of pronation, the sole structure includes a region in the rear-lateral corner that is more compressible than other areas of the sole structure.

Title: Composition for cytocompatible, injectable, self-gelling chitosan solutions for encapsulating and delivering live cells or biologically active factors
Inventor: HOEMANN CAROLINE
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 2003-07-16
Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for tissue repair using a cytocompatible self-gelling cross-linked hydrogel. The composition comprises a biocompatible mixture of chitosan, bifunctional dialdehyde, and hydroxylated polymer, which can be used to immobilize or encapsulate viable cells, or bioactive substances. The method includes the process of mixing bioactive substances, live cells, and/or extracellular matrix components with a cross-linking solution comprising a bifunctional aldehyde-treated hydroxylated polymer such as hydroxyethyl cellulose. The cross-linking solution is then mixed homogenously with a neutral isotonic chitosan solution. The chitosan becomes cross-linked by the bifunctional aldehyde, while the cells are protected from potentially nocive effects of the aldehyde cross-linker by the hydroxylated polymer. The injectable solution retains cell viability and bioactivity, and immobilizes cells at the site of injection or delivery. Depending on the particular application, mixtures of chitosan and bifunctional dialdehyde may be employed. The injectable solution also liberates bioactive substances with controlled release kinetics from the site of injection.

Title: Method for suppressing immune system response to transplanted tissue or cells
Inventor: EDELSON RICHARD LESLIE
IPC: A61K35/14
Filed: 2003-11-07
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for preparing a composition for use in suppressing graft versus host disease in an individual receiving a transplant preparation.  In course of the method an extracorporeal quantity of blood from the intended transplant recipient is treated by causing the blood to flow through an apparatus having plastic channels to induce monocytes contained in the blood to differentiate into dendritic cells. The dendritic cells are treated to truncate the maturation of the dendritic cells at a stage where the dendritic cells Induce suppression of an immune system response. The dendritic cells are combined with a transplant preparation derived from the intended transplant donor. The dendritic cells from the intended recipient are then co-incubated with the transplant preparation from the transplant donor, Finally a medicament is prepared for administering the co-incubated dendritic cells and transplant preparation to the intended transplant recipient.

Title: Recording methods and devices for recording information on dual layer recordable disks
Inventor: BAKX JOHANNUS L
IPC: G11B7/125
Filed: 2004-06-25
Abstract: The invention relates to recording methods for recording information on a dual layer recordable disk, and to corresponding recording devices. In one such method and recording device the OPC-area is variably located on a layer of the disk. In a preferred embodiment the OPC-area is located relative close to the radius where the data stream switches from the first layer to the second layer. This reduced additional time required for jumping to a fixed OPC-area. Furthermore, in another such method and device the information to be recorded is equally divided over both layers of the dual layer disc. This avoids additional time required for finalization.

Abstract: A cradle unit (10) for supporting metal coils, and other cylindrical objects, consists of two, parallel and separate saddles (12,14) made of polyurethane having a hardness range of between 50 Shore A and 90 Shore D, which saddles are connected together via a pair of parallel steel angle-brackets (30,32) that provide inherent structural integrity to the cradle unit itself, while still allowing the unit to conform to the shape or level of the underlying support structure. The single cradle unit may be as a mobile support-device, or may be bolted or otherwise attached to a surface for a specific location of the stored product. The cradle unit of the invention may, also, be attached to the bed of a transportation vehicle, such as a truck trailer or rail car, in order to provide secure, protective storage and location of the items.
