Inventor: LARAGH JOHN H
IPC: G16H40/63
Filed: 2001-09-07
Abstract: Le procédé Laragh est un nouveau procédé utile pour évaluer et traiter les malades hypertendus. Le procédé Laragh est une approche systématique dans laquelle le médecin utilise les informations de vasoconstriction du volume avec les changements d'entrée et induits des taux de pression sanguine et de rénine plasmatique ambulatoire pour sélectionner de manière rationnelle le traitement spécifiquement adapté à chaque malade hypertendu individuel. Le procédé Laragh constitue une approche systématique et rationnelle pour sélectionner le/les médicaments permettant d'améliorer fortement le taux de succès thérapeutique parmi les malades hypertendus et qui, pour une grande majorité assure une régulation de longue durée de la pression sanguine avec un seul médicament plutôt qu'avec deux ou avec deux plutôt qu'avec trois médicaments, chaque médicament étant rationnellement ciblé pour réguler l'élément rénine et/ou les éléments de volume dans l'équation de la pression sanguine. Le procédé Laragh peut également être utilisé pour évaluer et traiter les crises d'hypertension, ce procédé peut en outre être utilisé pour analyser les données provenant de malades hypertendus.

Title: Apparatus and method for production of electromagnecular gasses, for processing and recycling of toxic substances and unwanted wastes
Inventor: BULIK CORNELIUS GABRIEL
IPC: C10G15/08
Filed: 2003-08-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to durable and efficient equipment and method for the production of electromagnecular gases (EMGs) endowed with physical and chemical properties described by the hadronic physics and hadronic chemistry. EMGs are chemically more reactive, they are clean-burning combustible fuels and enclose higher energy than their molecular counterparts, can be liquefied at higher temperatures and/or lower pressures, can be supplied as additive to traditional gas fuels and diminish the leakage through pipelines or containers, and as additive to hydrocarbon fuels they improve the combustion and reduce the pollutants present in the combustion effluents. With the said equipment and method is possible to produce EMGs from any carbonaceous substance, including renewable biomass, and mixtures of carbonaceous substances with water, or from pure water. This includes the processing and destruction of toxic substances and pollutants. It is possible to process materials rich in carbon and silica, such as cereal husks, and produce EMG and silicon carbide (SiC).

Title: Electro-medical device for use with biologics
Inventor: TERRELL RICHARD M
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 2002-07-12
Abstract: A multi-functional portable electro-medical device (10) provides interferential current stimulation to promote bone growth. Two electrical signals are applied to a target area, each electrical signal being formed by a set of two electrode pads. A beat frequency is created at the location the signals intersect with each other. The beat frequency is the difference between the frequencies of the two signals and has an amplitude that is additive and greater than either signal alone. The depth of the interferenti al signal is increased by increasing the carrier frequency of the signals. The direction of the interferential signal shifts toward the signal having the lower amplitude. The electrical stimulation is used in combination with biologics to further increase bone growth. The target area is large enough t o include multiple vertebral segments.

Abstract: Pick-up trucks are very popular vehicles. The versatility provided by the truck bed in the pick-up truck is aided by providing a truck box usually a monolithic elongated container fastened to the truck bed that usually spans the width of the truck bed. Each end of this type of truck box is supported by laterally flanking walls of the truck bed.  However, once installed, these boxes occupy a considerable space and usually must be removed so that large items can be carried in the truck bed. The disclosed collapsible truck box provides the functionality of a fixed sized truck box but can be easily collapsed by the user to occupy a very small portion of the truck bed space. Hinged connections between the lid wall, back wall, front wall and bottom wall provide this collapsing and erecting function. Preferably side walls at each end of the truck box, with each wall including its own vertically oriented hinge, further enhance the functionality of the disclosed box.
