Title: Controlled impotence treatment
Inventor: FORSELL PETER
IPC: A61F2/02
Filed: 2001-02-09
Abstract: A male sexual impotence treatment apparatus comprises an operable restriction device (56) implanted in a patient and engaging the penile tissue (58) or the prolongation thereof to form a restrictable blood flow passageway through which blood flow leaves the penis. The restriction device is operable by an implanted operation device (60) to change the restriction of the blood flow passageway. A control device (62 and 64) is provided for controlling a source of energy, which may or may not be implanted, from outside the patient's body, to release energy for use in connection with the operation of the restriction device, i.e. to power the operation device. The patient uses the control device to restrict the blood flow leaving the penis to achieve erection.

Title: Security systems
Inventor: ELLIS ANTONY MARK
IPC: H04B1/38
Filed: 1993-04-23
Abstract: The security system involved in the arming and disarming of a car alarm, includes a transmitter (2) and a receiver (4) each including an oscillator (6, 8) incorporating a highly accurate and stable quartz time base. Each oscillator (6, 8) drives a respective encoder (14, 20) to develop a pseudo random succession of codes. Reset switches (10, 12) are provided for both transmitter and receiver (2, 4) to synchronise the two oscillators and therefore to synchronise the succession of codes. The receiver (4) includes a decoder (24) for decoding the received signals and a comparator (26) for comparing the decoded signal with the signal generated by the encoder (20). When equality is detected an arm/disarm circuit (28) is triggered. Because the codes of the transmitter and receiver are continually changing, it makes it very difficult for a thief to produce a coded signal which will trigger the arm/disarm circuit.

Title: Methods and apparatus for an image transfer object
Inventor: CHANG PAUL JOSEPH
IPC: G16H30/40
Filed: 2000-11-21
Abstract: An image transfer object is disclosed that provides the necessary mechanism to conduct a dynamic transfer operation. The image transfer object includes a static reference to dynamic data. The image data is "dynamic", in that the user may request additional views of the image. An image recipient computer receives the static reference to identify a source image on a server, and generates a first request, based on the static reference, for a view of the source image to the server. In response, the server transmits data to the image recipient computer. The image recipient computer displays the first view of the source image for viewing by the user. The user may then select a different portion of the source image, and/or a different resolution to designate a second view of the source image. The image recipient computer generates a second request to the image server for the second view, and the image server transmits additional data to generate the second view of the source image. Thereafter, the second view of the source image is displayed at the image recipient computer. A sender of the image may transmit a context for the image via e-mail or the recipient computer may download the image from a Web site. Techniques to configure the dynamic transfer object are also disclosed.

Title: A windowing function for maintaining orthogonality of channels in the reception of ofdm symbols
Inventor: YONGE LAWRENCE W
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2000-04-25
Abstract: A windowing mechanism for processing an OFDM symbol is presented. The windowing mechanism applies an apodizing window function having the property Wj+W(FFTSize/2 +j)=constant, where FFTSize is the size of the FFT sample, to a received OFDM symbol sample and a time-offset version of the OFDM symbol sample to produce sets of windowed values. The time-offset sample is offset from the original symbol by one half the symbol period. The time-offset windowed sample is shifted into realignment with the windowed original symbol. Corresponding ones of the windowed values are summed together to restore the windowed symbol to its original form.

Filed: 1994-01-11
Abstract: Apparatus and method for coating products (10) with two colors including a first coating section, a second coating section and a side to side transfer device (318) for transferring products from the first to the second sections. The transfer device includes a pair of plate grippers (372,373) each having a movable upper jaw (374) and a movable lower jaw (375). The upper and lower jaws are each adapted to receive and retain a product carrier plate (50). The transfer device includes a cam follower (380) that precisely closes the upper and lower jaws so that carrier plates located in the jaws are positioned in registration with each other in order to clamp product between the plates and to maintain the product clamped in the plates while the grippers are transferred between the first and second conveyor guides (314). An unloading station includes breaker pins for breaking a seal that may be formed between the coating material applied in the first coating section and the carrier plates. At a discharge station the carrier plates are rotated to cause the product to fall to a collection bin. Clean out bars adapted to be extended through the carrier plates while the plates are in the rotated discharge position cause any product that may have adhered to the plate and any excess coating material on the plate to be removed. <IMAGE>

Title: Anthracycline conjugates having a novel linker and methods for their production
IPC: A61P35/00
Filed: 1990-05-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to novel conjugates, methods for their production, pharmaceutical compositions and methods for delivering cytotoxic anthracyclines to a selected population of cells desired to be eliminated. The anthracycline conjugates comprise at least one anthracycline molecule linked to a ligand that is reactive with a cell population to be eliminated, the anthracycline having a keto group at the C-13 position, and being attached to the ligand via a linker arm and being bound to that linker arm via an acid-sensitive acylhydrazone bond at the 13-keto position of the anthracycline. The conjugates of the invention are therefore useful in antibody- or ligand-mediated drug delivery systems for the preferential killing of a selected cell population in the treatment of diseases such as cancers and other tumors, non-cytocidal viral or other pathogenic infections, and autoimmune disorders.
