Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FI96/00431 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 4, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 4, 1997 PCT Filed Aug. 6, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/06607 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 20, 1997Amplitude and phase errors between branches I and Q of a transceiver utilizing phase quadrature modulation are corrected by preventing propagation of a nominal-frequency signal from a digital part through a loop part and a reception branch to an RSSI indicator by changing the frequency response of a component on the path of the signal. The same indicator that normally measures the payload signal, here measures only undesired signal components. After this, such amplitude and/or phase correction signals are determined with which the measuring result obtained from the indicator reaches the minimum. The resultant correction signals are stored in the memory, and the frequency response of the system is then restored to normal.

Title: Method and system to facilitate image guided surgery
Inventor: GLOSSOP NEIL DAVID
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2000-09-08
Abstract: A method and system to facilitate image guided surgery by projecting onto the patient an image corresponding to markings made on pre-acquired images of the patient is disclosed. The image is projected by an imaging projecting device such as a laser which emits coherent visible light. The position of the patient and the image are determined in the same frame of reference. The markings made on the pre-acquired images are then mapped onto the corresponding locations of the patient. The image projecting device then projects images onto the patient corresponding to the markings made on the pre-acquired images. The images projected by the image projecting device can be temporarily or permanently marked onto the patient so that they are visible after the image projecting device stops emitting radiation. Use of a photodynamic substance can also be used in conjunction with the light emitted from the laser to treat tumors and other abnormalities in the patient.
Patent AU-7407001-A (AU)
Title: Communications system and method of administering connections therein
Inventor: OWEN RAY
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2001-05-25
Abstract: A communication system (10, 68) includes a plurality of different, spectrally separated air-interfaces providing different services from co-located base sites (70-76). One of these air-interfaces, which may be CDMA, operates a universal frequency-re-use pattern across multiple cells (80, 88, 90), whereas other air-interfaces, such as GSM, have carrier frequencies that have a cell re-use pattern. A subscriber unit (12-16) within the system (10, 68) monitors an interference environment and path loss of at least some of the various different services to infer propagation conditions that are likely to be experienced within a spread spectrum service supported by the universal frequency re-use pattern. Armed with an assessment of a fade (82-86) condition within the system as a whole, implied by time and path loss from broadcast signals from different services, the subscriber unit can regulate and control its power transmission. Spread spectrum communication to a distant base station can be safe in the knowledge that high power transmissions from the subscriber are subject to deep fade when viewed by near-in base sites. Near-far problems associated with high power transmissions to near-in base sites can therefore be mitigated based on a level of confidence that is found in the fade condition determined by path loss in services ancillary to the spread spectrum service.

Patent AU-7736198-A (AU)
Title: Positive flow valve
Inventor: LOPEZ GEORGE A
IPC: A61M5/00
Filed: 1997-12-15
Abstract: A closed system, spikeless, positive-flow valve device includes a body defining an internal cavity. At the proximal end of the body is an opening which is preferably sufficiently large to receive an ANSI standard tip of a medical implement. The valve includes a plastic, resilient silicon seal which fills the upper cavity and opening with an oval seal cap having a slit. The opening presses the oval seal cap to keep the slit closed in the decompressed state. The slit opens as the nose of the medical implement compresses the seal into the cavity and the seal cap is free from the opening. The housing also includes a fluid space which facilitates fluid flow between the medical implement and a catheter tip. The fluid space within the valve automatically and reversibly increases upon insertion of the medical implement into the cavity and decreases upon withdrawal of the medical implement, such that a positive flow from the valve toward the catheter tip is effected upon withdrawal of the medical implement, thereby preventing a flow of blood from a patient into the catheter when the medical implement is removed from the valve.

Title: Diagnostic assays using soluble endothelial cell protein c/activated protein c receptor
Inventor: ESMON CHARLES T
IPC: C07K14/74
Filed: 1998-06-26
Abstract: Plasma EPCR has been isolated, characterized and shown to block cellular protein C activation and APC anticoagulant activity. Plasma EPCR appears to be about 43,000 daltons and circulates at approximately 100 ng/ml (98.4+/-27.8 ng/ml, n=22). Plasma EPCR bound activated protein C with an affinity similar to that of recombinant soluble EPCR (Kdapp approximately 30 nM), and inhibits both protein C activation on an endothelial cell line and APC anticoagulant activity in a one-stage factor Xa clotting assay. Soluble plasma EPCR appears to attenuate the membrane-bound EPCR augmentation of protein C activation and the anticoagulant function of activated protein C. Soluble EPCR has also been detected in urine. Levels of soluble EPCR can rise in inflammatory disease associated with vascular injury and appear to be correlated with inflammation and disease states associated with abnormal coagulation. Since EPCR expression is restricted to larger vessels and is usually negative in cappillaries, these observations provide a mechanism for analyzing injury/stimulation of large vessel endothelial cells.

Title: Process for preparing calcium carbonate particles
Inventor: VIRTANEN PENTTI
IPC: C01F11/18
Filed: 1998-09-08
Abstract: The invention is related to a method for forming calcium carbonate. In the method, calcium oxide is reacted with carbonate ions in the presence of water to produce calcium carbonate. According to the invention, the formation is carried out directly from calcium oxide to calcium carbonate without intermediate stages in a three-phase precipitation, whereby the hydration of the calcium oxide to calcium hydroxide and the carbonation of the hydrated part are carried out immediately after one another under so intensive agitation that the calcium carbonate elements thus created are detached from the surface of the calcium hydroxide. The mixing is preferably carried out in a fluid medium where the amount of gaseous phase is at least 20 parts by volume and the amount of liquid phase is 0.5 to 1 part per one part by volume of the solid matter of the suspension. In the process, the desired end product, PCC, can be prepared in a very short residence time and with a small operational content.
