Abstract: Methods, and systems, and computer program products
for displaying and editing picklists in a drop-down menu
(300) of a graphical user interface (GUI) of a computer.
The drop-down menu (300) allows a user to see a list of
entries in a picklist section (308) and to select an option
(312) to remove entries from the picklist section, to
minimize clutter. The picklist section (308) filters out
redundant entries which are similar though not textually
equivalent, to eliminate confusion in file lists and lists
of recently used e-mail.

Abstract: Le problème majeur posé par les techniques actuelles d'administration directe de réactifs thérapeutiques dans des tumeurs solides, notamment de cellules ou de volumes importants de réactifs à ADN ou de médicaments, est la résistance des tissus à l'influx du fluide et/ou des cellules et, en conséquence, le fait qu'une petite quantité du fluide et/ou des cellules pénètre et reste dans le tissu tumoral à traiter. On obtient une pénétration accrue et/ou un reflux et une diversion réduits par le point d'entrée, de sorte que plus de substance est introduite dans la tumeur et y reste, en utilisant un vecteur visqueux, idéalement ayant une densité similaire à celle du tissu, pour la substance à administrer. Les substances préférées sont des solutions ou des suspensions de matière polymère qui gèlent ou se solidifient au moment de l'injection ou de l'implantation ou peu de temps après. On a également découvert que les cellules tels que les fibroplastes et les kératinocytes manipulés génétiquement peuvent être mis en culture dans le fluide kystique de tumeurs encapsulées. Ainsi, on dispose d'un moyen permettant de faire proliférer des cellules productrices manipulées génétiquement à l'intérieur de ces types de tumeurs, d'augmenter le nombre de cellules produisant des particules virales qui ensuite transduisent les cellules tumorales environnantes avec le matériel génétique, dans le mode de réalisation préféré, un gène léthal. Un certain nombre de types de tumeurs différents forment des kystes qui contiennent un fluide produit par les cellules tumorales, dont les cellules tumorales cérébrales tels que les gliomes, et de nombreux types de tumeurs du sein et du poumon.

instructs the display device to indicate the mark information on the map
information by a cursor (80) one by one in an order starting from the mark
information located closer to a desired position to that located farther
from the desired position within the display range, is inputted; and a
cursor display controlling process of controlling the display device to
display the cursor together with the map information and the mark
information such that the cursor indicates the mark information on the map
information, if it is judged by the judging process that the mark
information is located within the display range, and to display the cursor
together with the map information and the mark information such that the
cursor indicates the mark information on the map information by reducing
a contraction scale of the map information to be displayed so as to display
the mark information within the display range, if it is judged by the judging
process that the mark information is not located within the display range.

Abstract: An ultrasound transducer assembly of the present
invention includes a flexible circuit to which an
ultrasound transducer array and integrated circuitry are
attached during fabrication of the ultrasound transducer
assembly. Integrated circuitry and transducer elements
are attached to the flexible circuit while the flexible
circuit is in a substantially flat shape. The contacts

substantially the same plane such that electrical
contact with signal and ground lines on the flexible
circuit is established without the need for conductive
bridges to physically remote electrodes. In an
embodiment of the invention wherein the transducer
elements are arranged in a cylindrical array, gaps are
entirely filled with backing material having a
relatively low acoustic impedance. Structure integrity
is enhanced and a path to ground facilitated by
electrically conductive disks attached to the ends of
the transducer assembly.

Abstract: A flow control device and method for eliminating flow-induced cavity
resonance within a closed or nearly closed end flow passage (20) having an inlet
opening (30) defined between an upstream inlet edge (32) and a downstream inlet
edge (34). The passage accepts exterior fluid flow (38) therein via the opening (30).
The flow control device includes a stationary inlet guide vane (44) having a leading
edge (46), a trailing edge (48), and a number of support members (50) to connect the
vane to the inlet. The vane (44) is positioned such that the vane leading edge
intercepts the exterior fluid flow shear layer, and the vane trailing edge extends into
the passage at the inlet. In a preferred embodiment, the inlet guide vane is located
approximately midway between the upstream and downstream inlet edges. The inlet
guide vane is cross-sectionally shaped as a cambered airfoil. Flow-induced cavity
resonance is reduced or eliminated in the closed or nearly closed end passage through
the interception of the free shear layer passing over the inlet opening with an inlet
guide vane flow control device.

Abstract: The present invention provides a manufacturing method of
an artificial organ comprising a material having a solubility
parameter δ of not more than 13 (cal/cm 3 ) 1/2 , and a microporous
membrane having a portion coated with a fat-soluble modifier.
The manufacturing method is composed of the steps of: filling

solution, which has no or little solubility with a fat-soluble
modifier solution; and coating a portion of the body fluid
treatment membrane with the fat-soluble modifier by contacting
the fat-soluble modifier solution. This may allow only
necessary portion to be coated with the fat-soluble modifier
so that a smaller amount of the fat-soluble modifier may be
employed.

Abstract: Système amélioré permettant d'enflammer un plasma (3) et agissant par une élévation rapide de la tension, qui provoque la production, par les ions (12) pouvant préexister, d'une émission électronique secondaire ou similaire. Dans l'un des modes de réalisation, la durée de l'élévation de tension peut être réglée de façon à être comparable au temps de transit des électrons dans le plasma. Le système peut également être conçu pour élever la tension en moins de 1000 microsecondes, ce qui donne un temps de montée inférieur à cent fois le temps de transit et maximise ainsi l'émission électronique secondaire, ou bien donne simplement des énergies de collision allant de 5 à 500 électron-volts. Le temps de montée est commandé par une unité de commande de l'inflammation (9), éventuellement programmable, qui peut utiliser la charge de dispositifs de stockage de sortie ou la commutation différée pour amener au plasma la tension accrue une fois que les éléments de stockage sont totalement chargés.

Abstract: Un laser pompé par diode comprend un miroir de résonateur et un coupleur de sortie, définissant un résonateur laser comprenant un axe optique de résonateur. Un milieu de gain à lentille thermique forte d'un diamètre de mode TEM00 est monté dans le résonateur le long de l'axe optique du résonateur. Le niveau de dopage du milieu de gain se situe entre 0,01 et moins de 0,5 %. Une source de pompe d'iode envoie un faisceau de pompage au milieu de gain dans le résonateur laser et produit un faisceau de sortie d'un diamètre plus grand que le diamètre du mode TEM00 pour réduire la biréfringence thermique. Une source de puissance envoie de la puissance à la source de pompe diode. Un élément de polarisation peut être placé dans le résonateur ainsi qu'un diaphragme d'ouverture. Le laser fonctionne bien sur une plage étendue de puissances de pompage. Son efficacité de pente dans le mode TEM00 est supérieure à 40 % avec une efficacité globale supérieure à 25 %. Un des milieux de gain utilisé est Nd:YVO4. Ce matériau présente un gain élevé et une courte durée de vie à l'état maximum. Ces propriétés le rendent intéressant pour concevoir un laser déclenché ou un laser insensible à la rétroaction optique. Un autre matériau est Nd:YAG. Il s'avère que la technique permettant d'optimiser la taille de la trace du faisceau de pompage réduit au maximum les pertes dues à la biréfringence thermique.
