Title: Apparatus and method for detecting gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd)
Inventor: BAYLOR RICHARD A
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2008-10-23
Abstract: A method and an apparatus are disclosed for detecting gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in the esophagus of a patient. A capsule with pH-sensitive dissolving properties is placed in the lower portion of the esophagus of the patient. The capsule is removed after a period of time, such as about 24 hours. The change in weight or volume of the capsule, or both, allows detection of acid reflux, i.e., the presence of acid in the esophagus for even a relatively short duration during the period of time. If the weight or volume change is significant, the capsule allows diagnosis of GERD. Alternatively, an amount of time during which the capsule was exposed to acid in the esophagus may be determined by dissolving the capsule remaining and using a solution property, such as conductivity, pH, color, or turbidity.

Title: Email communications system having a secondary wireless link with static IP addresses
Inventor: GARDNER DAVID RICHARD
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2009-09-01
Abstract: Networks having an internal email server (33) commonly have a secondary wireless connection (39) to the internet in case the primary connection (36), e.g. ADSL, fails. However, emails cannot be sent to the email server through the wireless connection from emails servers (33A) outside the network because the wireless connection is not associated with a public routable static IP address which can be given to the domain name system (38). The present invention provides the wireless link (39) to the access point (APN, 41) with a private static IP address (IP7), the static IP address being associated with a public static IP address (IP7P), and configures the APN to route data received through the public static IP address to the private static IP address and visa-versa.

Title: Analyzing Medical Image Data
Inventor: KADIR TIMOR
IPC: G01T1/29
Filed: 2009-10-08
Abstract: Analyzing medical imaging data of a subject from an imaging modality such as positron emission tomography (PET) or SPECT using a tracer are described. Data from detection of tracer emission events are obtained. A rate of change of emission events per unit time for a given region is then calculated, for example by obtaining a number of emission events in each sub-period in the given region, and fitting a line through the values for the sub-periods. This may be used to compare the rates of change of organs processing or accumulating the tracer with a model of expected result from the organ. This may be used in particular to detect cancer of the kidneys and/or bladder an distinguish this from inflammation.

Title: Process for dyeing textile materials
Filed: 1962-03-16
Abstract: Textile materials of polyamides, polyurethanes, aromatic polyesters, polymers and copolymers of acrylonitrile, cellulose esters, e.g. triacetate and butyrate or mixed fabrics with wool or cotton are coloured by applying a padding liquor or printing paste containing an organic dyestuff and a product obtained by reaction of high molecular weight carboxylic acids or acid chlorides with ammonia, amines and/or alkylolamines optionally with subsequent alkoxylation and subsequently fixing the padding or print by heating.  Specified carboxylic acids are lauric, palmitic, stearic, ricinoleic, linoleic, oleic and naphthenic acid, aromatic carboxylic acids substituted by alkyl radical, abietic acid and carboxylic acids having hetero atoms or groups in their chain of carbon atoms such as, -O-, -S-, -COO-, carbonamide or sulphonamide groups, e.g. nonylphenoxy acetic acid or dodecylaminopropionic acid.  Specified amines are methylamine, ethylamine butylamine, N-dimethyl-ethylene-diamine, monoethanolamine, diethanol-amine, triethanolamine, N-methyl-ethanol-amine, N-propyl-ethanolamine, b -or g -propanolamines and the condensates prepared from 1-4 mols ethylene oxide with 1 mol ethylene diamine or the alkyl ethers of such alkylolamines as well as glycine and sarcosine.  The above condensates may be prepared by heating the components together at 130-210 DEG C while removing the water so formed in the molecular ratios 1 : 1, 1 :<1 or 1 :>1.  Subsequent alkoxylation may be effected by adding on 2-40 mols ethylene and/or propylene oxide per mol of reaction product.  Suitable dyestuffs are from the disperse, vat, acid, metal complex or basic dyestuff series. Mixed fabrics may be dyed in one or more baths possibly by inserting an exhaust process.  The padding liquors or printing pastes may also contain polyethers which contain, as chain members, polyethylene glycol radicals repeatedly alternating with radicals having not less than five carbon atoms directly linked to one another as well as emulsifying agents such as the alkoxylation products of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, alkylaryl- or polyarylphenols as well as alkyl or alkylaryl sulphonates and additionally softening agents, hydrotropic substances and anti-static agents.
