Title: Combined use of anti-cytokine antibodies or antagonists and anti-cd20 for the treatment of b cell lymphoma
Inventor: HANNA NABIL
IPC: A61K31/704
Filed: 2001-04-02
Abstract: The present invention discloses combined therapies for treating hematologic malignancies, including B cell lymphomas and leukemias or solid non-hematologic tumors, comprising administration of anti-cytokine antibodies or antagonists to inhibit the activity of cytokines which play a role in perpetuating the activation of B cells. The administration of such antibodies and antagonists, particularly anti-IL10 antibodies and antagonists, is particularly useful for avoiding or decreasing the resistance of hematologic malignant cells or solid tumor cells to chemotherapeutic agents and anti-CD20 or anti-CD22 antibodies. The invention also provides combination therapies for solid tumors having B cell involvement comprising the administration of an anti-cytokine antibody and a B cell depleting antibody such as RITUSAN®.

Inventor: JERDING DEAN F
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2001-05-02
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for a DHCT coupled to a display to enable a user to access functionality of a service infrastructure of an interactive television network by a middleware markup language. In one implementation, the DHCT presents a user one or more selectable link representations in a uniform resource identifier protocol that correspond to separate services. The DHCT receives input of a selected link representation label from one of the selectable link representations for activation of one of the services corresponding to the selected link representation label.  Thereafter, the DHCT translates the selected link representation label from the uniform resource identifier protocol to an executable call and activates the interactive television application for presentation to the user by the executable call.

Title: Procede pour le masquage d'erreurs dans des champs de transmission de donnees audio numeriques
Inventor: KUPFERSCHMIDT CLAUS
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 2001-07-13
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour le masquage d'erreurs dans des champs de transmission de données audio numériques. Le procédé selon l'invention initialise un masquage d'erreurs à des valeurs initiales, le masquage d'erreur étant ensuite adapté par une qualité de réception déterminée au niveau des données audio numériques effectivement reçues. Le masquage d'erreurs est effectué après le décodage de voie, par égalisation du spectre audio. Les valeurs initiales sont calculées soit à partir de la qualité de réception effectivement calculée, soit à partir d'une qualité de réception provenant d'une voie audio précédemment réglée, le niveau de protection d'erreurs de voie des deux voies audio étant en outre comparé. La qualité de réception est déterminée à partir du taux d'erreurs sur bits, du nombre d'erreurs de facteurs scalaires ou du nombre d'erreurs de totaux de contrôle. La voie audio précédemment réglée peut aussi être une voie audio à modulation de fréquence. Le temps de stockage pour le nombre d'erreurs de transmission de la voie audio précédemment réglée est pris en compte pour l'initialisation du masquage d'erreurs.

IPC: A61M5/145
Filed: 2002-03-26
Abstract: Injection devices are known for the self administration of a medicament by patients. The medicament is typically contained within a cartridge located within an injection device.

Abstract: In a method for releasing a mooring buoy (3) from a float- ing structure (1) the buoy is lowered by means of a chain (3) to a fist equilibrium position where the net buoyancy of the buoy is balanced by the weight of mooring lines (4) and risers (5). The chain (3) is lowered further by a sec- ond winch line (6) while the chain moves through a guide in the buoy until an upper stopper on the chain abuts the buoy. By further paying out of the second winch line (6), the weight of the chain is gradually transferred to the buoy and pulls it down to a second equilibrium position at a substantial depth safe from e.g. drifting icebergs. The second winch line (6) is disconnected from the chain and retrieved to the floating structure (1).

Title: Assembly of hollow torque transmitting sucker rods and sealing nipple with improved seal and fluid flow
Inventor: JOHNSON DANIEL
IPC: E21B17/042
Filed: 2003-09-26
Abstract: An elongated drive string assembly comprising a plurality of hollow sucker rods and a connecting elements with an axis, connected together and between a drive head located at the surface of an oil well and a rotary pump located deep down hole in an oil well. Each hollow sucker rod has at least a first end comprising an internal female threaded surface engaging an external male threaded surface on a connecting element, such as a nipple. In order to further optimize the stress distribution between the elements, frustro-conical, non-symmetrical threads with a differential diametral taper are used. The torque shoulders have a maximized mean diameter and cross-sectional area to resist storing reactive torque in the drive string. A  modified nipple preferably has a small seal at its free end to decrease corrosion erosion problems. A modified rod may have a series of holes at each extreme end, to substantially increase the flow of fluid extracted. This overall configuration ensures high shear strength, lowered stress concentration and a surprising resistance to storing reactive torque, which minimizes dangerous backspin when power to the sucker rod string is interrupted.
