Title: Method for the prediction of preeclampsia and other diseases
Inventor: ARBOGAST BRADLEY W
IPC: G01N33/92
Filed: 2001-03-13
Abstract: The invention disclosed is a process for determining the cytoprotective activity of plasma that prevents the destruction of endothelial cells and forestalls the development of a number of diseases such as atherosclerosis, preeclampsia, edema, nephrotic syndrome, and stroke. The present invention includes a method of diagnosing a patient's proclivity to develop a disease having a correlation to a reduction in the concentration of pI 5.6 albumin in the plasma by determining a value indicative of the concentration of the pI. 5.6 albumin that is not bound to VLDL  ("non-VLDL-bound pI 5.6 albumin") in the patient's blood serum. The preferred embodiment of the process utilizes in vitro methods to obtain an indicator of the non-VLDL-bound pI. 5.6 albumin instead of directly measuring the concentration of the non-VLDL-bound pI 5.6 albumin.

Title: High density connector and method of manufacture
Inventor: HOUTZ TIMOTHY W
IPC: H01R13/40
Filed: 1997-10-10
Abstract: Electrical connectors capable of being mounted on circuit substrates (204) by BGA techniques are disclosed. Also disclosed is a method for manufacturing such connectors. There is at least one recess (20, 22, 24) on the exterior side of the connector elements (12).      A conductive contact (66) extends from adjacent the interior side into the recess on the exterior side of the housing. A controlled volume of solder paste is introduced into the recess. A fusible conductive element, in the form of solder balls (82) is positioned in the recess.      The connector is subjected to a reflow process to fuse the solder ball to the portion of the contact extending into said recess. Contacts are secured in the insulative housing of the connector by deformable sections that minimize stress imposed on the central portions of the contacts to promote uniformity of solder volume.

Title: Control system for a gas flow to a plasma arc torch
Inventor: COUCH RICHARD W JR
IPC: H05H1/34
Filed: 1992-03-09
Abstract: A plasma arc torch (10) has a secondary gas flow (46) that is extremely large during piercing of a workpiece (36). The secondary flow (46) exits the torch immediately adjacent the transferred plasma arc (34) and is an extremely uniform, swirling flow. A swirl ring (60) is located in the secondary gas flow path (50) at the exit point. A prechamber (58) feeds gas to the swirl ring (60), which is in turn fed through a flow restricting orifice (56). For certain applications the secondary gas (46) is a mixture of an oxidizing gas and a non-oxidizing gas in a flow ratio of oxydizing to non-oxidizing in the range of 2:3 to 9:1. A network (44) of conduits and solenoid valves (SV1-SV17) operated under the control of a central microprocessor (90) regulates the flows of plasma gas (42) and secondary gas (46) and mixes the secondary gas (46). The network (44) includes valued parallel branches (78,80,84,86) that provide a quick charge capability and a set of venting valves.(SV11-SV14), also electrically actuated by the microprocessor (90), to provide a quick discharge. In a preferred high-definition embodiment, a nozzle (28) with a cut back outer surface and a large, conical head (28b) allows a metal seal and enhanced cooling.
