Abstract: This invention relates to a cushioned dust control mat article wherein the mat comprises at least two distinct layers of rubber, one comprising foam rubber, the other comprising solid rubber. The solid rubber layer is present over the foam rubber layer on the side of the mat in which at least one integrated rubber protrusion is present to provide cushioning characteristics. The solid rubber layer acts as a cap or barrier for the foam rubber layer, particularly over the integrated protrusion or protrusions, in order to provide a mat which is resilient, will not easily degrade in its modulus strength after appreciable use and/or washing within industrial cleaning processes, and will not exhibit appreciable cracking or breaking, particularly within the integrated protrusion(s), after standard use for pedestrian traffic. A method of producing such an inventive cushioned floor mat article is also provided.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: For in-line printing and processing of successive portions of a band material, the portions are each printed in a printing position (5; 157) and processed in a processing position (36; 43), both along that transport path (1; 101). The band material is advanced at least once over a predetermined distance along the transport path (1; 101) for transferring portions of the band material from the printing position (5) or the processing position, to the processing position (36; 43) or, respectively, the printing position (157). Since the printing is carried out incrementally in accordance with the incremental formation of the printing, changes in the printing from portion to portion can be implemented easily. Since each printed portion is advanced over a remaining portion of the predetermined distance after printing, it is assured in a simple manner that the printings are accurately aligned in transport direction for processing to be performed.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: Sustained transgene expression will be required for the vast majority of genetic diseases being considered for gene therapy. The initially high levels of expression attained with plasmid DNA (pDNA) vectors containing viral promoters, such as that from cytomegalovirus (CMV), decline precipitously to near background levels within 2 to 3 weeks. We have constructed pDNA vectors containing the human cellular ubiquitin B (Ub) promoter and evaluated their expression in the mouse lung. Cationic lipid-pDNA complexes were instilled intranasally (IN) or injected intravenously (IV) into immunodeficient BALB/c mice. Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene expression from the Ub promoter was initially very low at day 2 post-administration but by day 35 exceeded the level of expression attained from a CMV promoter vector by 4- to 9-fold. Appending a portion of the CMV enhancer 5' of the Ub promoter (CMV-Ub) increased CAT expression to nearly that of the CMV promoter and expression persisted in the lung for at least three months, with 50% of day 2 levels remaining at day 84. In the liver, expression from the CMV-Ub hybrid promoter was sustained for 42 days. Since previous studies have shown that eliminating immunostimulatory CpG motifs in pDNA vectors reduces their toxicity, we constructed a CpG deficient version of the CMV-Ub vector expressing alpha-galactosidase A, the enzyme that is deficient in Fabry disease, a lysosomal storage disorder. After IN or IV administration, levels of alpha-galactosidase A from this vector were not only undiminished but increased 500% to 1500% by day 35. These results suggest that CpG-reduced plasmid vectors containing a CMV-Ub hybrid promoter may provide the long-term expression and efficacy required for a practical gene therapeutic.

Abstract: The invention disclosed is a process for determining the cytoprotective activity of plasma that prevents the destruction of endothelial cells and forestalls the development of a number of diseases such as atherosclerosis, preeclampsia, edema, nephrotic syndrome, and stroke. The present invention includes a method of diagnosing a patient's proclivity to develop a disease having a correlation to a reduction in the concentration of pI 5.6 albumin in the plasma by determining a value indicative of the concentration of the pI 5.6 albumin that is not bound to VLDL ("free pI 5.6 albumin") in the patient's blood serum. The preferred embodiment of the process utilizes in vitro methods to obtain an indicator of the free pI 5.6 albumin instead of directly measuring the concentration of the free pI 5.6 albumin. The preferred method comprises the steps of:(a) providing a plasma sample containing free albumin, triglycerides, very low density lipoproteins, low density lipoproteins, and non-esterified fatty acids bound to the free albumin;(b) determining the concentration of the free albumin;(c) determining the concentration of the non-esterified fatty acids bound to the free albumin; and(d) calculating a value indicative of the toxicity preventing ability of the plasma by comparing the concentration of the free albumin to the concentration of the non-esterified fatty acids bound to the free albumin. The present process does not provide direct measurement of the cytoprotective activity of plasma, but rather, an empirical value which has clinical relevance in identifying patients with a high chance of developing diseases inhibited by pI 5.6 albumin.

Abstract: A callback service for completing a call from a calling party to a mobile station of a called party that was not previously completed due to no response. After the call was not completed due to no response, the mobile station is monitored to determine if it has moved, and when movement is determined to have occurred, a callback is initiated between the calling party and the called party. The movement is a good indication that the called party has moved the mobile station and may therefore be available to receive the call. The movement of the mobile station is preferably determined by detecting that the mobile station has changed its location utilizing mobile positioning technology. The service will generally result in more calls being completed and in their being completed in less time.
