Title: Agent for relieving side effects caused by immunosuppressants
Inventor: NAKAMURA TOSHIKAZU
IPC: A61P43/00
Filed: 1995-03-01
Granted: 2007-01-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to an agent for relieving side effects caused by immunosuppressants, which comprises HGF (Hepatocyte growth factor) as an active component, a method for relieving side effects caused by immunosuppressants, which comprises administration of HGF and use of HGF for producing an agent for relieving the side effects. HGF as an active component can reduce multiple-organ or systemic side effects caused by immunosuppressants. Therefore, according to the present invention, restrictions of use and dose of immunosuppressants are reduced, success rate of organ transplantation and cure rate of various patients to which the immunosuppressants are administered can be improved and at the same time burden of the patients can be remarkably reduced.

Inventor: GUITTARD DOMINIQUE
IPC: B29C70/54
Filed: 1996-10-23
Granted: 2005-06-21
Abstract: For the production of a composite material sandwich panel having an open cell core (18) and at least one skin formed from resin impregnated fibres (20), the core (18) and unimpregnated fibres (20) are placed in a mould (10) and a tight membrane (22) and an adhesive film (24) are interposed in this order between the fibres and the core. After closing the mould (10), a single heat cycle makes it possible to polymerize the adhesive (20), in order to seal the cavities of the open cell core (18) with the membrane, followed by the injection of the resin under pressure into the fibres (20) and finally polymerize said resin prior to the removal of the panel from the mould.

Title: Fluorescence polarization detection of nucleic acid amplification
Inventor: LINN CARL PRESTON
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1996-11-12
Granted: 2000-03-07
Abstract: Fluorescence polarization methods for detection of nucleic acid amplification atthermophilic temperatures employ a fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide signal primer which is converted from single- to double-stranded form in a target amplification-dependent manner. This conformational change is accompanied by an increase in fluorescence polarization values. The decrease in FP typically observed for the duplex at elevated temperatures is overcome by double-stranded DNA binding proteins which are believed to stabilize the double-stranded structure by reducing the single-strandedness normally associated with higher temperatures. The inventive methods provide a closed, homogeneous system for amplification and detection of amplification in real-time or at an endpoint.

Abstract: The memory of the credit/debit card contains: - a first identification file, called 'member file' which identifies the card owner; - a second posting file, called a 'points file'; - and a third file containing credit data about card owner for a number of shops/stores etc. at which the card owner makes transactions. The file contains, for each shop/store, a place identification code and several user purchase fields. The method actuates a given algorithm, as a function of the particular shop/store, at the moment a transaction is made, using the data contained in one or more of the fields relating to the shop/store and/or another shop/store. The data is then written into the 'points file' and in the third file, a receipt may be or may not be printed as a result of the actuation of the processing algorithm. For each commercial enterprise the third file fields include a register called 'activity code', identifying an activity sector. A specific processing algorithm is realized in the 'point file' at the time of a purchase at a particular enterprises as a function of the third file fields user by the card owner at one or more enterprises having the same 'activity code'. An Independent claim is included for a points/discount calculator.

Abstract: Pompe péristaltique améliorée mettant en oeuvre une conduite de pompage comprenant un tube interne et un tube externe constitués l'un et l'autre d'un matériau fluoroplastique rigide, de préférence du polytétrafluoroéthylène (PTFE). Le tronçon de pompage de la conduite de pompage qui est au contact des rouleaux de pression de la pompe péristaltique est préformé ou bien présente une configuratio aplatie, sensiblement ovale, qui se conforme approximativement à la voie de passage de la conduite de pompage de la pompe péristaltique. Les rouleaux de pression compriment la partie aplatie de la conduite de pompage et réalisent de ce fait le déplacement ou pompage du fluide. L'invention porte également sur les procédés d'élaboration des conduites de pompage. Des fluides corrosifs, à haute température et sous des pressions élevées peuvent ainsi être manipulés facilement grâce à ces nouvelles conduites de pompage et pompes péristaltiques.

Inventor: DROUILLARD JAMES R
IPC: B60R9/045
Filed: 1998-04-03
Granted: 2005-10-04
Abstract: The present invention is an article carrier assembly for mounting on an exterior surface of a motor vehicle, the article carrier including a pair of elongated side rails constructed and arranged to be mounted on an exterior surface of the motor vehicle. The side rails extend generally parallel to one another in a spaced apart relation and an elongated adjustable cross rail assembly constructed and arranged to be mounted transversely between and releasably lockable along the side rails in a range of operating positions. The cross rail assembly has rail locking structures mounted on opposite ends thereof for selectively engaging the side rails. An actuator is operatively connected to the rail locking structures. The actuator is positioned such that an operator standing on one side of the vehicle can manipulate the actuator and move the cross rail assembly between the operating positions. The actuator assembly includes a rod extending from a distal one of the rail locking structures and pivotally connected to the actuator and a camming member frictionally engaging a near one of the rail locking structures. The near one of the rail locking structures is biased into engagement with the camming member. Pivotal movement of the actuator effects cooperative movement of the rail locking structures between locked positions wherein the rail locking structures engage the side rails to lock the cross rail assembly in one of the operating positions and disengage positions permitting longitudinal travel of the cross rail assembly along the side rails.

Abstract: A steam generating system (10) includes a nozzle for pulverized coal and air which includes an elongated generally cylindrical body (30) having a nozzle at one axial portion thereof. The apparatus also includes a nozzle tip (34) that is generally sleeve shaped and dimensioned to overlap an extremity of the body (30). The tip (34) is mounted for pivotal movement about the extremity of the body (30) and the nozzle tip (34) includes first and second surfaces (58, 59) dimensioned and configured for receiving therebetween all flow from the nozzle body (30). The apparatus also includes a seal plate (50) that is also generally sleeve shaped and dimensioned and configured to provide sealing between the extremity and the nozzle tip (34). The seal plate (50) is mounted for pivotal movement about the extremity of the body (30) and is dimensioned and configured to have third and fourth surfaces (52, 54) disposed respectively in closely spaced relationship to the first and second surfaces (58, 59) throughout all possible pivotal positions of the seal plate (50) and the nozzle tip (34). This closely spaced relationship defines an elongated slot for passage of air. The seal plate (50) includes a stop (56) to limit relative pivotal motion between the nozzle tip (34) and the seal plate (50).  In some forms of the invention the first and second surfaces (58, 59) are planar surfaces. The third and fourth surfaces (52, 54) may be cylindrical sections. The stop (56) may include at least one upstanding member carried on the seal plate (50). The seal plate (50) may include first and second planar opposed sides joined by the third and fourth surfaces (52, 54). In some forms of the invention the third and fourth surfaces (52, 54) have concave parts and the concave parts are disposed in opposed relationship. The stop (56) may be a part of the first and second planar opposed sides and may include at least one ear on each of the first and second sides and in some cases also include a second ear on each of the first and second sides. All of the ears may be generally planar and each of the ears may be coplanar with one of the sides.
