Patent EP-1201241-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CAMPBELL JAMES N
IPC: A61K31/00
Filed: 1998-03-12
Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating pain at a specific site with an
effective concentration of capsaicin or analogues thereof are described. The
methods involve providing anesthesia to the site where the capsaicin or
analogues thereof is to be administered, and then administering an effective
concentration of capsaicin to the joint. The anesthesia can be provided
directly to the site, or at remote site that causes anesthesia at the site where
the capsaicin is to be administered. For example, epidural regional
anesthesia can be provided to patients to which the capsaicin is to be
administered at a site located from the waist down. By pretreating the site
with the anesthetic, a significantly higher concentration of capsaicin can be
used. Effective concentrations of capsaicin or analogues thereof range from
between 0.01 and 10% by weight, preferably between 1 and 7.5% by
weight, and more preferably, about 5% by weight. This provides for greater
and more prolonged pain relief, for periods of time ranging from one week
to several weeks. In some cases the pain relief may be more sustained
because the disease that underlies the pain may improve due to a variety of
factors including enhancement of physical therapy due to less pain in the
soft tissues which may foster enhanced mobilization of soft tissues, tendons,
and joints.

Abstract: A filter and a method of making a filter to remove unwanted frequency harmonics associated with current filters. The filter is made up of resonators (#1, #2, #3) such that the filter resonates a design frequency. Whereby, at least two resonators are coupled together between an input (I/O) and an output (I/O) and at least one of the resonators is of a different design from other resonators, such that the resonator of a different design resonates the same design frequency as the other resonators and resonates different higher order harmonic frequencies than the other resonators. The present invention also provides methods of improving skirt response for a filter, as well as other response properties of the filter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cheese-like dairy gel that includes a
gum, a starch, and a dairy liquid, wherein the gel has the texture,
consistency, and mouthfeel of a cheese. In particular embodiments of the
dairy gel, it is essentially fat-free, and is chosen from among cottage cheese,
ricotta, cream cheese, American cheese, processed cheese, Parmesan
cheese, baker's cheese, cheddar, and Feta cheese. The gum may be an
ionically neutral gum, such as konjac, or a microbial gum, gellan gum, or it
may be an anionic gum, such as a carrageenan, Kappa-carrageenan,
furcelleran, agar, alginate, and the like, or mixtures thereof. The starch, in
certain embodiments of the invention, may be potato starch, tapioca starch,
corn starch, rice starch, wheat starch, and the like, or mixtures thereof. The
invention additionally provides a process for preparing a cheese-like dairy gel
wherein the ingredients are blended, briefly heated, packaged, and cooled, or
it may be cooled and extruded, sliced, diced, or shredded, then packaged.
The invention avoids renneting, fermenting, or acidification that yields curds
and whey liquid. It thus provides a simplified process and product which
utilizes all the ingredients of the dairy liquid employed.

Abstract: A loudspeaker system containing wave-shaping sound
chambers with approximately rectangular inlets and outlets
of substantially the same size that are used to flatten or
control the curvature of the acoustic wavefronts contained
within system waveguides. Control of the degree of
curvature of the wavefront enables the development of a
wide variety of multi-waveguide arrays. The sound chambers
are placed between a waveguides and a flattened conical
horns of secondary waveguides. The sound chambers
transform the curvature of the typical fan shaped wavefront
that results from a conical horn throat into a wavefront
that approximates a planar or curved rectangular ribbon of
sound.

Abstract: A video signal is processed to generate one or more signatures associated with a broadcast program to be recorded by a recording device. The signatures are then processed to determine an actual start time and end time of the desired broadcast program, such that the program can be properly recorded despite delays or other changes in a pre-scheduled broadcast time of the program. One or more of the extracted signatures may be based at least in part on, e.g., a keyframe similarity measure, a histogram, one or more detected commercials, a transcript, a program logo or other detected object, detected text, and a sign-on or sign-off of the desired program. Other types of signatures can also be used.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reproducing audio signals of at least two different sources, wherein a first sound volume can be preselected for reproducing the audio signals of a first source. When the audio signals of the first and the at least second source are simultaneously reproduced, the audio signals of the at least second source are reproduced at a sound volume that is higher than the first sound volume by at least a differential sound volume. The inventive method allows a comprehensible reproduction of prioritized audio signals of the second source also against the background of audio signals of a first source being reproduced at the same time.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for cleaning a catheter tube (34). The distal end portion (36) of the tube has a distal opening (38) and at least one side opening (40) adjacent to the distal opening. The distal end of the tube is disposed in a closed chamber (62) with the distal opening generally opposite from a first orifice defined in the chamber. A liquid is introduced into the chamber and is drawn into the distal opening in the tube, for example by a suction force. A different fluid medium, such as air, is drawn through the first orifice and into the distal opening in the tube. A turbulent flow path is established with the fluid medium wherein the medium is drawn through the first orifice, into the distal opening in the tube, out the side opening in the tube, and back into the distal opening in the tube. This turbulent flow path enhances the cleaning action of the liquid introduced into the chamber for cleaning the distal end portion of the tube within the chamber.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication de vias d'alimentation d'encre dans des puces de substrat de silicium semi-conducteur destiné à une tête d'impression à jet d'encre et à des têtes d'impression à jet d'encre renfermant des puces de silicium conçues au moyen du procédé. Celui-ci consiste à appliquer, sur une première surface de la puce de silicium, une première couche d'arrêt de gravure dont l'épaisseur est comprise entre environ 300 et 800 microns, à graver à sec des vias d'encre individuels à travers l'épaisseur de la puce de silicium jusqu'à la couche d'arrêt de gravure à partir d'une surface opposée à la première surface et à former des trous dans la couche d'arrêt de gravure, de manière à créer une liaison fluidique et individuelle avec les vias d'encre au moyen d'une technique mécanique. Des vias à paroi sensiblement verticale sont gravés à travers l'épaisseur de la puce de silicium au moyen du procédé. Par opposition à des techniques de formation de vias d'encre classiques, le procédé selon l'invention permet d'améliorer considérablement la productivité d'une puce de silicium et de réduire des pertes dues à des rupture et cassure de la puce. Les puces obtenues sont plus fiables pour une utilisation de tête d'impression à long terme.

projecting to the back face. A spring is wound around the hinge
axis, with one end 18 engaging a back face of the valve wall
21 for the valve disk, the other end engaging a support bracket.
The resonance frequency is decreased by the weight, thereby
preventing the beat sound from arising in a normal range of
the engine speed. The weight is welded to the bead portion,
thereby not causing the outer peripheral portion 23 as the
contact surface to be distorted.
