Title: Propagation d'hepatocytes chez des animaux
Inventor: WU GEORGE Y
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2000-03-03
Abstract: La présente invention porte sur la préparation d'animaux possédant des foies chimères, certains ou la majorité des hépatocytes présents étant des hépatocytes humains. Cette invention est basée, au moins partiellement, sur la découverte que des rats, tolérésin utero par rapport aux hépatocytes, se sont avérés servir d'hôtes à long terme pour des hépatocytes humains introduits après la naissance, les hépatocytes humains introduits ayant conservé leur phénotype différentiel, tel que le met en évidence la production continue d'albumine humaine. La présente invention porte sur l'utilisation de ces animaux comme modèles de diverses pathologies du foie, y compris l'invention virale. Ces réalisations sont basées sur la découverte que des hépatocytes humains transplantés dans des foies chimères se sont avérés être sensibles à l'infection par HBV in situ et à la réplication soutenue du virus tel que le met en évidence l'apparence de HBsAg dans le sérum et dans les cellules du foie et la présence dans le foie de formes d'ADN circulaires, fermées de manière covalente.

Title: Twin fabric forming section blade mounting
Inventor: MCPHERSON DOUGLAS R
IPC: D21F1/52
Filed: 2000-11-15
Abstract: A flexible mounting for use in the forming section of a twin forming fabric papermaking machine comprises a base member supported by the machine structure to which is attached a flexible C-shaped beam, which has a first edge attached to the base member, and a fabric contacting blade attachment means at a second edge. A pressurized loading tube is located within the C-shaped beam between its second edge and the base member. The flexible mounting involves no moving parts in sliding contact. When the pressurized loading tube is loaded, the C-shaped beam flexes thus allowing the blade to move over an arc into contact with a forming fabric. As the pressurized tube is further loaded, the contact face of the blade is moved over the arc into further engagement with the forming fabric. The mounting reduces fabric wear and allows localized flexing to accommodate variations in operative conditions.

Title: Reclining chair having adjustable chair frame
Inventor: LAPOINTE LARRY P
IPC: A47C7/40
Filed: 2001-01-08
Abstract: The present invention provides an adjustable frame member (44) for a chair seat frame (66) and a lockable alignment tool (300) which is implemented between the chair seat frame (66) and an attachable seat back (68). Initially, the chair seat frame (66) is pre-assembled such that the adjustable frame member (44) is in a non-rigid state, therefore allowing for side to side skewing motion of the chair seat frame (66). The lockable alignment tool (300) is mounted onto the seat back (68), in its unlocked position. Once the lockable alignment tool (300) is mounted to the seat back (68), it is locked such that its length is fixed. The lockable alignment tool (300) is then removed from the seat back (68) and mounted onto the seat frame (14). As the lockable alignment tool (300) is mounted onto the seat frame (14), skewing motion of the seat frame (14) is caused as the seat frame (14) aligns with the lockable alignment tool (300). Once the lockable alignment tool (300) has been fully mounted to the chair frame (14), screws are used to lock the adjustable frame member (44). As such, the adjustable frame member (44) becomes a rigid structure. The lockable alignment tool (300) is then removed and overall assembly may be completed with proper alignment between the chair seat frame (14) and back (68) ensured.

IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2001-12-20
Abstract: Method for geolocating logical network addresses on electronically switched dynamic communications networks, such as the Internet, using the time latency of communications to and from the logical network address to determine its location. Minimum round-trip communications latency is measured between numerous stations on the network and known network addressed equipment to form a network latency topology map (Step 200). Minimum round-trip communiations latency is also measured between the stations and the logical network address to be geolocated (Step 240). The resulting set of minimum round-trip communications latencies is then correlated with the network latency topology map to determine the location of the network address to be geolocated (Step 300).
