Title: Asynchronous signaling and data delivery in a wireless communication system
Inventor: ROSEN ERIC C
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2005-06-21
Abstract: A system and method for signaling and delivering group communication data, such as push-to-talk (PTT) setup data, to a dormant wireless telecommunication device across a control channel on a wireless communication network. Each wireless telecommunication device is able to direct a single group communication stream to a designated target group of other wireless telecommunication devices, and the wireless telecommunication device has a dormant state in which the wireless telecommunication devices bridges a control channel with a communication server and an active state in which the wireless telecommunication device bridges a dedicated communication channel with the communication server. The wireless telecommunication device receives group communication setup data though a control channel for incoming group communications, and such delivery occurring without fully bridging a dedicated communication channel to that wireless telecommunication device.

Title: Ophthalmic compositions and methods for treating ophthalmic conditions
Inventor: WHITCUP SCOTT M
IPC: A61P27/02
Filed: 2005-07-11
Abstract: Compositions, and methods of using such compositions, useful for placement, for example injection, into the interior of human or animal eyes are provided.  Such compositions include a therapeutic component, such as one or more corticosteroids, a biocompatible polymeric component, and a solvent component.  The composition is in a fluid foiin before placement in the interior of an eye, and becomes less fluid after the composition is placed in the eye to form an extended or delayed release drug delivery element or system. The drug delivery element is foiiued by the dissipation of the solvent from the composition when the composition is placed in the interior of an eye. One example of a composition includes triamcinolone acetonide as a therapeutic agent. A method of treating an ophthalmic condition, or otherwise improving or enhancing vision of a patient, comprises placing the fluid composition in the interior of the eye. The method may be practiced by injecting the fluid composition into the interior of the eye.

Inventor: SHINJI YUJI
IPC: A61K35/765
Filed: 2004-08-02
Abstract: It is intended to find a novel oncolytic virus and use the same in treating cancer. Namely, a medicinal composition for treating cancer which contains Sindbis virus as the active ingredient; a method of treating cancer characterized by comprising administering Sindbis virus to a mammal; a method of identifying cancer characterized by comprising transferring Sindbis virus into an animal and detecting Sindbis virus protein or Sindbis virus RNA in a vital tissue of the animal; a method of identifying cancer characterized by comprising transferring Sindbis virus carrying a reporter gene integrated therein into an animal and detecting a product of the reporter gene in a vital tissue of the animal; and a method of identifying cancer characterized by comprising detecting an increase in an antibody titer against Sindbis virus protein or the reporter gene product in the above-described animal. It has been confirmed that Sindbis virus exerts a cytopathic effect on various cancer cell lines in vitro and an effect of reducing or clearing up tumor in vivo, which makes it useful in treating cancer. Furthermore, Sindbis virus grows selectively in tumor, which makes it efficacious in identifying and diagnosing cancer in vivo.

Title: Improved heat exchange for melting plate candle
Inventor: VARANASI PADMA PRABODH
IPC: F21V37/00
Filed: 2005-09-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to melting plate candles which employ heat conductive elements to distribute heat from a burning flame at a wick to a support plate for a solid fuel and to the body of the solid fuel, so as to more rapidly liquefy the solid fuel, such as paraffin wax, and to more uniformly and intensely heat such fuels to increase the efficiency of consumption thereof and to more rapidly release volatile materials contained within the fuels. The heat conductive support plate is configured so as to have a capillary pedestal upon the surface thereof, which cooperatively engages a wick holder comprising a preferably consumable wick and heat conductive fins which conduct heat from a flame upon the wick to the support plate, the wick holder further engaging the capillary pedestal in such a locking manner as to resist accidental removal from the pedestal. The fuel may be provided in various forms, configured to cooperatively engage the wick holder and support plate, and may comprise various volatile materials. The capillary pedestal, in conjunction with the wick holder, causes rapid and complete flow of the liquefied fuel to the wick. The capillary pedestal and wick holder are shaped so as to provide for variance of capillary flow between them when the wick holder is rotated relative to the capillary pedestal.
