Title: Short-chain peptides as parathyroid hormone (pth) receptor agonist
Inventor: BAHEKAR RAJESH
IPC: C07K14/72
Filed: 2010-04-26
Abstract: The present invention provides novel short-chain peptides, which primarily act as parathyroid hormone (PTH/ PTH-I) receptor agonist. These short-chain peptides exhibit increased stability to proteolytic cleavage. Most of short-chain pep-tides were found to be stable in rat plasma upto 24 hours (in vitro), showed increased stability against GIT enzymes such as pepsin and acidic stomach pH and also against liver microsomes (in vitro). Due to increased metabolic stability, other than parenteral route of administration, some of the short-chain peptides can also be delivered by oral routes of administration, for the treatment /  prevention of hypoparathyroidism and diseases characterized by bone mass reduction, such as osteoporosis, postmenopausal os-teoporosis and for stimulating bone repair.

Abstract: A surgical system and corresponding methods for identifying tissue or vessels and assessing their conditions includes a probing signal source for applying a probing signal to the tissue and a response signal monitor for monitoring a response signal that varies according to the level of blood circulation in the tissue or vessels. The response signal monitor monitors the response signal over an interval equal to or longer than an interval between two successive cardiac contractions. The surgical system includes a microprocessor that analyzes the amplitude and/or phase of the response signal to determine the level of blood circulation in the tissue or in different portions of the tissue, and determines a tissue parameter based upon the level of blood circulation. The surgical system may monitor a cardiac signal related to cardiac contractions and correlate the response signal and the cardiac signal to determine a level of blood circulation in the tissue.

Title: Method for passive seismic emission tomography including polarization correction for source mechanism
Inventor: THORNTON MICHAEL P
IPC: G01V1/00
Filed: 2010-08-03
Abstract: A method for seismic event mapping includes selecting a plurality of subvolumes (VlIl, V112, V113, V121,... V311) representing possible locations of origin of a seismic event in the Earth's subsurface. For each subvolume (VlIl, V112, V113, V121,... V311) a plurality of possible directions of motion (40, 42) of subsurface formations is selected. For each subvolume (VlIl, V112, V113, V121,... V311) and each possible direction of motion (40, 42), polarity correction is applied to seismic signals recorded at a plurality of positions proximate a volume of the Earth's' subsurface to be evaluated. The polarity correction is based on the direction of motion and the position of each seismic sensor with respect to the subvolume. The recorded, polarity corrected seismic signal recordings are time aligned. The time aligned recordings are summed. A most likely direction of motion and subvolume position are determined based on a selected attribute of the summed, time aligned seismic signals.

IPC: G01R1/04
Filed: 2010-12-01
Abstract: A re-enterable end cap for sealing and protecting an end of an exposed cable conductor while allowing repeated access to the cable by a metal test probe. The end cap has an outer tubular shell which is open at one end to receive the end of the cable and closed at the opposite end by a plug of rigid material. The tubular shell may be dimensionally recoverable. The plug has a hollow cavity which contains a deformable self-sealing material. Access to the interior of the end cap is provided through an aperture in an end wall of the plug. The hollow interior of the plug may be provided with a one-way valve member which permits the test probe to enter the plug while preventing excessive loss of the self-sealing material through the aperture in the end wall. The valve member may take the form of a ball having a diameter which is greater than the diameter of the aperture and which is embedded in the self-sealing material. A similar construction may be incorporated into a test terminal to be applied to the side of a cable.
