IPC: A61M1/14
Filed: 1992-11-12
Abstract: A hemodialysis machine includes chemical treatment system having a source (90) of chemical, and a proportioning pump (66) which pumps a dialysate concentrate in a dialysis mode, and pumps the chemical in a chemical treatment mode used for cleaning the machine. A rinse mode is carried out between the dialysis and chemical treatment modes. A single three-way valve (26) is provided for switching between the modes, the valve usually decoupling the pump (66) from the chemical source (90). Switching to the chemical treatment mode requires energisation of the valve (26).

Abstract: The present invention provides for the identification and cloning of the RNA component of the telomerase enzyme, human telomerase RNA (telRNA). In another aspect of invention, there is disclosed a novel tumor cell-specific gene therapy, using the telRNA of the invention for the specific destruction of various types of cancers. The human telomerase RNA (telRNA) gene can be identified (isolated) by direct hybridization using an oligonucleotide probe to screen cultured human tumor cells enriched in telRNA (HeLa cells) and/or by PCR/hybrid selection. Once isolated, the gene encoding the telRNA gene is mutated  in vitro  and cloned into a suitable expression vector. The expression vector can be transfected into human cancer cells,  in vitro  or  in vivo . In either case, it is expected that the mutant telRNA will compete with the endogenous telRNA in the formation of active telomerase, resulting in the addition of aberrant telomere sequences to the ends of chromosomes. This is predicted to cause genetic instability and rapid cell death.

Abstract: A control registration is provided for the message control structures of interprocess communication messages sent from one task to another in a microkernel architecture system. Each task that wishes to receive messages as a server, from other tasks that are clients, may register the message control structure that it expects to receive, registering it with the interprocess communications subsystem. The subsystem issues a registration ID number, and stores it with the port name and the format for the message control structure, in a message control structure table. The message control structure format description stored in the table, or pointed to by a pointer in the table, is a template that the interprocess communications subsystem will use later to validate messages from clients that purport to use the same registration ID.

Abstract: A method of memory-driving a DC gaseous discharge panel and circuitry therefor are disclosed. To generate a write discharge on a desired display cell, while a scan pulse Pscn having a pulse width of τscn is applied to a cathode associated with the cell, a display anode is held in its high level or ON level. To prevent the write discharge from being formed, while the scan pulse Pscn is applied to the cathode, a non-write pulse Pnw having a pulse width of τnw is applied to the display anode. The pulse width τnw is selected such that the duration of the pulse Pnw (τscn - τnw) is shorter than the statistic time lag of the start of a discharge at which a discharge cell generating a write discharge first appears. For a sustain discharge following the write discharge, sustain pulses Psus are applied to the cathode after the scan pulse Pscn for a predetermined period of time such that they do not coincide with the non-write pulses as to the timing. As a result, stable discharge and therefore high quality display is insured even when the scanning period must be reduced in order to, e.g., enlarge a screen.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for presenting a viewer with an overall representation of the present number of entertainment programs available for selection given one week of program schedule data for 300 or more channels and one or more filtering criteria to limit the number of items represented in the overall representation. Sequentially applied filters will filter the group of program schedule data items that has at least 100,000 half hour time slots offered by 300 channels each week into a smaller subgroup where individual consideration of each item of the subgroup can be made in a reasonable time. A set top box drives the display of overall representations or results of filtering criteria on a commercial TV set. Once a reasonable sized subgroup is obtained, other displays provide specific information of the program offerings of the subgroup. Selection of the filtering criteria and selection from within a subgroup is interactively made by a viewer through the use of a controller that looks and operates very much like a TV remote control. This makes the interaction familiar, easy and predictable.

Abstract: A multiprocessor system includes a number of sub-processor systems, each substantially identically constructed, and each comprising a central processing unit (CPU), and at least one I/O device, interconnected by routing apparatus that also interconnects the sub-processor systems. A CPU of any one of the sub-processor systems may communicate, through the routing elements, with any I/O device of the system, or with any CPU of the system. 
     Communications between I/O devices and CPUs is by packetized messages. Interrupts from I/O devices are communicated from the I/O devices to the CPUs (or from one CPU to another CPU) as message packets. 
     CPUs and I/O devices may write to, or read from, memory of a CPU of the system. Memory protection is provided by an access validation method maintained by each CPU in which CPUs and/or I/O devices are provided with a validation to read/write memory of that CPU, without which memory access is denied.

Abstract: In a tracking servo circuit for apparatus such as an optical disc device, etc., a tracking error signal TE obtained in a servo-off state is subjected to A/D conversion, the center level thereof is calculated at a center level computation circuit (2b) and that value is stored in a register (27). At a time of servo-on, switches are connected to one terminal side (a), in the normal operation mode, and the center level stored in the register (27) is subtracted from the tracking error signal TE obtained at the time of the servo-on state at a subtraction circuit (22) so that the offset of the tracking error signal is corrected. During the servo-on state, when light reflected from the surface of the disc can no longer be obtained due to an accidental cause, the connection of another switch is switched to the terminal (b) in response to the switching of the signal (FOK), generated based on the RF signal, to the low level, and the offset correction operation of the tracking error signal TE is stopped.
