Title: Elbow prosthesis.
Inventor: RISUNG FINN
IPC: A61F2/30
Filed: 1994-02-09
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/NO94/00033 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 26, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 26, 1995 PCT Filed Feb. 9, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO94/17758 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 18, 1994An implantable elbow prosthesis (1) comprises an ulnar component (2) and a humeral component (3) wherein the head (21) of the ulnar component is designed in a bifurcated shape with two horns (22, 23) and the head (31) of the humeral component comprises a rotatable spindle (34) between two projecting flanges (32, 33). The joint component of the prosthesis is formed by arranging the head (21) of the ulnar component to engage with the spindle (34) of the humeral component. In each of the horns (22, 23) on the ulnar component (2) there is provided a groove (24, 25) which terminates in a respective blind hold (24, 25) on each horn (22, 23). A C-ring form of clip (4) connects the heads (21, 31) of the ulnar component and the humeral component, while maintaining the desired degree of freedom of movement for the elbow joint and a predetermined tolerance of movement. The clip (4) embraces the spindle (34) on the humeral component (3) with a clearance (5) between the arc (43) of the clip and the spindle and is locked to the ulnar component (2), the ends (41, 42) of the clip being inserted into the grooves (24, 25) on the horns (22, 23) of the ulnar component and engaging with the blind holes (26, 27). This ensures that the ulnar component (2) does not lose its grip on the spindle (34) of the humeral component, while at the same time the desired play is obtained in the actual joint connection, a vital circumstance for the functional characteristics of the prosthesis.

Title: Digital audio limiter.
Inventor: FIELDER LOUIS DUNN
IPC: H03G7/00
Filed: 1994-02-15
Abstract: The invention relates to limiting the peak amplitude of an audio signal in one or more frequency subbands while preserving the apparent loudness. Applications such as a Studio-Transmitter Link (STL) for broadcasting sometimes use perceptual coding to deliver an audio signal originating from a studio to a broadcast transmitter. The peak amplitude of the audio signal will have been limited by means of a limiter or otherwise, and a perceptual encoder reduces the informational capacity requirements of the audio signal for transmission across a link to a broadcast transmitter. A perceptual decoder receives the coded signal from the link and reproduces the audio signal for the broadcast transmitter. The peak-amplitude of the signal reproduced by the perceptual decoder may sometimes exceed the capabilities of the broadcast transmitter even though the peak amplitude of the audio signal input to the perceptual encoder is properly limited. This increase in peak level is referred to as "peak-level increase" or PLI. Transmitter overload resulting from PLI can create audible distortion and/or impermissible broadcast conditions such as excessive FM deviation. Various embodiments of apparatus and method are described which estimate PLI caused by signal processing such as perceptual coding and which apply corrective gain to the portions of the audio signal bandwidth so as to limit peak amplitude while preserving apparent loudness.

IPC: G01N27/327

Abstract: In a first embodiment, a target analyte in solution is detected by exposing the solution to an electrode that includes a conducting electroactive polymer to which a periodic alternating voltage is coupled. Upon exposure to the analyte, an electrode characteristic is varied, which variation is detected by measuring electrode current as a function of time and as a function of the periodic alternating voltage. The alternating voltage waveform has an oxidizing time period and a reduction time period, which periods and waveform duty cycle may be controlled to enhance electrode sensitivity, selectivity, and to substantially eliminate electrode fouling and data hysteresis. In a second embodiment, a receptor is bound to the electrode, to which is coupled an alternating voltage waveform that permits a mating target substance to reversibly bind to the receptor such that measurement of electrode current provides a measure of such reversible binding. The second embodiment is especially useful for detecting antibodies, antigens, haptens, DNA, RNA, and enzymes. Either embodiment may be used for detection in flow-through electrochemical cells, flow injection analysis, liquid, and ion chromatography, as well as in capillary electrophoresis.

Abstract: Une protéine de 60 kilodaltons (facteur trophique oligodendroglial ou OTF) induit l'accumulation d'oligodendroglies dans des cultures de substance blanche cérébrale. On obtient un recrutement oligodendroglial correspondant à la moitié du maximum avec 2ng/ml de facteur trophique oligodendroglial. Ledit facteur est un mitogène pour des cellules mères oligodendrogliales ou pour des oligodendroglies, mais ne stimule pas la prolifération d'astroglies, de cellules de Schwann ou de fibroblastes de l'endonèvre. Des études immunohistologiques avec un anticorps monoclonal spécifique du facteur trophique oligodendroglial indiquent que le facteur trophique oligodendroglial est exprimé par des neurones du système nerveux central et des ganglions de la racine dorsale.

Abstract: Method of replacing inner heating tubes in a heating chamber where the heating tubes are replaced by cutting the collars at pre-designated points on the two ends of the heating tube such that the welding seams holding the heating tube are removed. The collar containing a length compensator can be cut either before or after the length compensator depending on whether replacement of the length compensator is desired. The heating tubes are removed by moving the heating tubes out of the interior of the drum chamber through an opening in one of the two ends of the heating tube. New heating tubes containing an impact shell and a centering bushing, are inserted through an opening in one of the two ends of the heating tube. After a heating tube is inserted, the heating tube is raised such that the centering bushing can be inserted and centered in the collar. Then the heating tubes are welded at their two ends to the bushing of the collars.

Abstract: Novel molecular chimaeras produced by recombinant DNA techniques are described. They comprise a target tissue specific transcriptional regulatory sequence (TRS) linked and controlling the expression of a heterologous enzyme for example Varicella Zoster Virus Thymidine Kinase (VZV TK) gene. A molecular chimaera is packaged into a synthetic retroviral particle which is capable of infecting mammalian tissue. This in turn may be administered to a patient, and the TRS will be selectively transcriptionally activated in the target tissue (for example cancerous tissue). Administration of compounds which are selectively metabolised by the enzyme produce cytotoxic or cytostatic metabolites insitu thereby selectively killing or arresting the growth of the target cell.

Abstract: An automatic marker making system and method are provided in which the creation of a new marker is facilitated through the use of already existing marker designs. A computer database of existing markers is searched for markers that are "similar" to the marker being created. An existing marker is considered "similar" if it meets certain user-specified, marker making criteria. Initially, position and orientation data from pattern pieces in the "similar" marker are used to position and orient corresponding pieces in the new marker. Then, the new marker is "compacted" using a software routine to nest all of the new pieces simultaneously, instead of nesting one or two pieces at a time. The compacting routine corrects overlaps between pieces and assures that the new pieces are nested as efficiently as possible.
