Abstract: An apparatus is provided for controlling gas delivery to a patient, to maintain effective respiratory function. The apparatus includes sensors for monitoring one or more physiological variables such as breathing airflow sound, EEG, EOG, ENG, and/or patient position. The apparatus includes a determining component for deriving, from the sensed variables, data representing a respiratory event and a component for determining from the data a gas pressure or modulated gas pressure to counteract tissue vibration associated with the respiratory event, thereby tending to cancel the respiratory event. The determining component may include an algorithm adapted to generate a gas pressure signal substantially 180 degrees out of phase relative to the tissue vibration. The apparatus may include a drug delivery module operable to deliver a drug in accordance with the sensed physiological variable and the determining component.

Abstract: An Internet access device uses an automatic configuration process to handle the task of configuring the Internet access device at a customer site for communication with the Internet. Once configured, the customer has electronic mail and other access to the Internet from his local area network. A not yet configured Internet access device is shipped directly to a customer without having to be manually configured first. The customer enters a registration identification number and a telephone number onto the Internet access device. The Internet access device then automatically connects to the Internet, downloads configuration data from a configuration server containing customer site specific configuration data, and then automatically configures itself for communication with the Internet. The Internet access device is simple to install for a customer and provides valuable features such as a router, firewall, e-mail gateway, web server, and other servers. The Internet access device initially connects to the Internet through an Internet service provider over a standard analog telephone line using a standard modem and using a dynamic IP address. Once automatically configured, the Internet access device may then communicate with the Internet using any suitable connection including an analog telephone line, or a higher-speed line such as an ISDN line or a frame relay circuit and is assigned a static IP address and a range of IP addresses for other devices on its local area network.

Abstract: Computer network method and apparatus provides targeting of appropriate audience based on psychographic or behavioral profiles of end users. The psychographic profile is formed by recording computer activity and viewing habits of the end user. Content of categories of interest and display format in each category are revealed by the psychographic profile, based on user viewing of agate information. Using the profile (with or without additional user demographics), advertisements are displayed to appropriately selected users. Based on regression analysis of recorded responses of a first set of users viewing the advertisements, the target user profile is refined. Viewing by and regression analysis of recorded responses of subsequent sets of users continually auto-targets and customizes ads for the optimal end user audience.

Abstract: An article capable of both collecting interstitial fluid and detecting an analyte in that fluid and a method for use of that article. Preferably, the article is also capable of measuring the amount of analyte in the interstitial fluid. The article can be used in conjunction with a meter that contains an appropriate detection element for determining the amount of analyte in the interstitial fluid. In one preferred embodiment, the article is a multiple-layer element comprising:(1) a layer that is capable of being placed in contact with the skin of a patient;(2) a layer that is coated over the skin-contacting layer;(3) a layer, substantially coplanar with the overcoat layer, that is capable of transporting interstitial fluid by means of chemically aided wicking;(4) a layer, overlying the interstitial fluid transporting layer, that is capable of being placed in contact with a meter, said layer having an opening therein through which light can be transmitted;(5) a layer, disposed on the surface of the meter-contacting layer that faces the skin-contyacting layer, that is capable of detecting the presence of analyte or measuring the amount of analyte in the fluid.In order to use the multiple-layer element, light from a source of light is transmitted through the opening in the multiple-layer material to be absorbed at a light-absorbing target on the skin-contacting layer. This light transfers energy to the target, and this transferred energy causes an opening to form in the skin-contacting layer and an opening to form in the stratum corneum. Interstitial fluid exudes from the opening in the stratum corneum and contacts the interstitial fluid transporting layer. The interstitial fluid then moves along or through the interstitial fluid transporting layer to the detecting layer.

Abstract: A method of managing a subscriber service by an intelligent network service in a telecommunications system, which comprises a mobile communication network including a home location register and at least one switching center; and an intelligent network including a service control point and a number of network elements with a service switching function. An intelligent network service is inserted into the service control point, the intelligent network service comprising a management function which is activated in response to the fact that a detection point having a predetermined trigger condition is encountered. The home location register comprises a service switching function, or at least the part of it essential for processing a detection point. An intelligent network service detection point whose trigger condition includes a condition that a situation should exist in which the mobile subscriber wants to manage the subscriber service or the intelligent network service related to it himself. When the home location register detects that the predetermined trigger condition is fulfilled, it sends an initial message to the service control point to activate the management function. The service control point sends the necessary intelligent network service instructions to the home location register.

Abstract: Processes for conjugating proteins with polyethylene glycol are disclosed. The disclosed processes provide modified proteins having little or no decrease in their activity and include the steps of deleting at least one amino acid residue on the protein, replacing the at least one amino acid residue with an amino acid residue that does not react with polyethylene glycol, and contacting the protein with polyethylene glycol under conditions sufficient to conjugate the polyethylene glycol to the protein. This advantageous retention of a desired protein activity is attributed to the availability of one or more protein binding sites which is unaltered in the conjugation process and thus remains free to interact with a binding partner ligand or cognate subsequent to the conjugation process.
