Abstract: A plunger of a syringe characterized by a hook unit formed integrally at the front end of the stopper of thereof. The hook unit comprises a central rod and a push wing extended outwardly from a lateral wall of the central rod. The push wing can be attached to the central rod by a lateral force, which is urged during an insertion process, so that the hook unit will be inserted into a receptacle formed at the rear end of the needle hub in the axial direction. The receptacle has an entrance hole and a cavity lager then the hole, whereby the flexible push wing will be extended again after the unit is in the cavity, forming a locked configuration. As the plunger is pulled back, the needle mount will be pulled into the needle barrel accordingly, achieving a function of self destruction.
Patent CA-2547464-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MEYER THOMAS C
IPC: B65H20/12
Filed: 2006-05-23
Abstract: This invention proposes a new, improved method and apparatus for applying web segments to a traveling web. These web segments, sometimes called ears or wings, may be asymmetrical or otherwise incompatible with the usual slip-and-cut method. The asymmetrical shape may have differing web tensions which can cause the web segments to be improperly engaged with the vacuum holes on an anvil roll. The present invention utilizes both circumferential rows of vacuum holes and an additional pattern of ear retaining vacuum holes. The circumferential rows of vacuum holes are activated consecutively by vacuum commutation, however, the pattern of ear retaining vacuum holes are activated simultaneously to counter the effects of differing web tensions on the ear portions.

Title: Use of relaxin as adjuvant in the differentiation of stem cells for the reconstruction of tissues
Inventor: BIGAZZI MARIO
IPC: A61P25/28
Filed: 2004-12-17
Abstract: On the basis of the experimental results it has emerged that relaxin has a pro-differentiating effect on stem cells. It is therefore suggested the use of this hormone as principal component of a drug for the treatment of all those situations that find or will find benefit from the use of stem cells for the reconstruction of tissues damaged by traumatic events or by ischemic~inflammatory-degenerative diseases. It is also suggested the use of relaxin for the treatment of syndromes deriving from the missing activation of stem cells during fetal development (at subsequent somatic-functional maturation), such as for example hypogonotropic hypogonadism with anosmia (Kallman's syndrome).

Title: Commercial aircraft with a main deck and a lower deck
Inventor: SPRENGER WILFRIED
IPC: B64C1/00
Filed: 2005-07-08
Abstract: In a commercial aircraft with a main deck (2) and a lower deck (5, 6), at least one passenger cabin (16, 16~) is also provided on the lower deck. The fuselage diameter lies on the order of a wide-body aircraft, and an energy-absorbing deformation structure (22, 23, 24) is arranged underneath the lower deck cabin. The invention proposes to arrange the wings (7) on the aircraft fuselage in accordance with the shoulder wing configuration, and to arrange the landing gear (10) outside on the fuselage such that the landing gear bays are spaced apart from one another by a certain distance that is defined by the positioning of the bottom longeron spars (9). This may provide that the lower deck volume situated underneath the main deck can be optimally utilized for payloads. The lower deck areas may also be interconnected in such a way that a significant useful width of the passage between the landing gear bays is achieved.

Title: An image registration method and apparatus for medical imaging based on mulptiple masks
Inventor: ARDITI MARCEL
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2005-08-05
Abstract: An image registration method (800) for use in medical imaging is proposed. The method includes the steps of: providing (804) a sequence of images each one including a digital representation of a body-part under analysis, selecting (806) a reference image within the sequence, the remaining images of the sequence defining moving images, and re-aligning (808-854) at least one portion of a moving image with respect to the reference image. The step of re-aligning includes: defining (808,810) a delimitation mask identifying a region on the reference image with which the at least one portion of the moving image has to be re-aligned, and a feature mask identifying a further region on the reference image within which the re-alignment is calculated, determining (820-851) an optimized transformation for compensating a displacement of the moving image with respect to the reference image by optimizing a similarity measure, and transforming (854) the at least one portion of the moving image according to the optimized transformation. The similarity measure is calculated alternatively between: a) a first computation region ident ified on the reference image by a computation mask and a second computation region identified by the computation mask on the moving image transformed according to a proposed transformation, the computation mask being determined by the intersection between the feature mask and the delimitation mask transformed according to the proposed transformation, or b) a first computation region identified by a computation mask on the reference image transformed according to a proposed transformation and a second computation region identified by the computation mask on the moving image, the computation mask being determined by the intersection between the feature mask transformed according to the proposed transformation and the delimitation mask, or c) a first computation region ident ified on the reference image by a computation mask transformed according to the reverse of a proposed transformation and a second computation region ident ified by the computation mask on the moving image, the computation mask being determined by the intersection between the feature mask transformed according to the proposed transformation and the delimitation mask.

Title: Systems for distributing data over a computer network and methods for arranging nodes for distribution of data over a computer network
Inventor: O'NEAL MIKE
IPC: G06F15/173
Filed: 2005-07-11
Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention relate to a system for distributing data (e.g., content data) over a computer network and a method of arranging receiver nodes in a computer network such that the capacity of a server is effectively increased (e.g., the capacity of a server may be effectively multiplied many times over; the capacity of the server may be effectively increased exponentially). In one embodiment the present invention may take advantage of the excess capacity many receiver nodes possess, and may use such receiver nodes as repeaters. The distribution system may include node(s) having database(s) which indicate ancestor(s) and/or descendant(s) of the node so that reconfiguration of the distribution network may be accomplished without burdening the system's primary server. An embodiment of the present invention may include a process for configuring a computer information distribution network having a primary server node and user nodes docked in a cascaded relationship, and reconfiguring the network in the event that a user node departs from the network. In one example (which example is intended to be illustrative and not restrictive), the process may include the steps of providing a new user node (or connection requesting user node) with a connection address list of nodes within the network, having the new user node (or connection requesting user node) go to (or attempt to go to) the node at the top of the connection address list, determine whether that node is still part of the distribution network, and connect thereto if it is, and if it is not, to go to (or attempt to go to) the next node on the connection address list. In another example (which example is intended to be illustrative and not restrictive), when a user node departs from the distribution network, a propagation signal may be transmitted to the nodes below it in the network, causing them to move up in the network in a predetermined order. In another example (which example is intended to be illustrative and not restrictive), the present invention may provide a decentralized approach which provides, to each new user node (or connection requesting user node) a path back to the root server.
