Abstract: The present invention provides protein-based biomarkers and biomarker combinations that are useful in qualifying ovarian cancer status as well as endometrial cancer status in a patient. In particular, it has been found that hepcidin is a biomarker for both ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer and that a panel of biomarkers, including hepcidin, transthyretin and optionally other markers are useful to classify a subject sample as ovarian cancer or non- ovarian cancer. The biomarkers can be detected by SELDI mass spectrometry.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant d'exécuter une sélection de liaison dynamique (DLS) entre des unités émettrices/réceptrices (TRU). Une première unité TRU détermine si une seconde unité TRU présente plusieurs interfaces pourvues d'une capacité DLS. Si la seconde unité TRU présente plusieurs interfaces pourvues d'une capacité DLS, la première unité TRU envoie un paquet à la seconde unité TRU par l'intermédiaire d'une liaison sélectionnée. La première unité TRU reçoit ensuite un rapport transmis par la seconde unité TRU et elle évalue la qualité de la liaison sur la base dudit rapport. La première unité TRU sélectionne une liaison pour un nouveau paquet en fonction de critères prédéterminés et de la qualité de la liaison. Si la seconde unité TRU ne présente pas plusieurs interfaces pourvues de la capacités DLS, la première unité TRU envoie périodiquement des paquets d'essai à la seconde unité TRU par l'intermédiaire des liaisons disponibles. La seconde unité TRU envoie des paquets de réponse et la première unité TRU évalue la qualité de la liaison sur la base des statistiques des paquets de réponse .

Abstract: A prosthesis for replacing or supplementing a nucleus pulposus of an intervertebral disk is an expandable container having flexible walls, the container being adapted to be inserted into a central cavity of an intervertebral disk through a narrow cannula, and the flexible walls are made from a biocompatible hydrogel. A preferred hydrogel is a cryogel formed from an aqueous solution of poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone). The prosthesis may be prepared by dip-coating a mandrel with an aqueous solution of a hydrogel-forming polymer or mixture of such polymers, gelling the coated solution by chilling, and subjecting the gelled coating to a series of repeated freeze-thaw treatments. In use, the prosthesis is inserted into a central cavity of an intervertebral disk and filled with biocompatible material, e.g., a biocompatible liquid, a biocompatible polymer, and a biocompatible hydrogel, particularly a thermogelling hydrogel.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant de ralentir le passage des aliments dans le tube digestif d'un patient et ainsi de traiter l'obésité. Ce dispositif est un tube d'obésité comprenant (A) un anneau supérieur de taille correspondant à un point situé sous l'oesophage du patient et au-dessus du muscle du diaphragme du patient, et (B) un tube inférieur d'une certaine longueur et ayant une ouverture distale. Ce procédé consiste à agrafer l'anneau supérieur sous l'oesophage du patient, au-dessus du muscle de diaphragme du patient, et à placer le tube inférieur de manière distale par rapport à l'anneau supérieur. La longueur du tube inférieur varie selon que le tube doit se terminer distalement dans l'estomac ou bien se terminer après le pylore, auquel cas on utilise une section suffisamment épaisse pour résister à l'affaissement sous la pression du pylore. Le tube inférieur peut être entièrement ou partiellement non-perméable ou semi-perméable. Les tubes semi-perméables ou des sections de ces derniers ont des parois qui permettent le passage de l'acide chlorhyrdrique gastrique mais pas des aliments.

Abstract: A sensor is installed in the dryer air-stream to verify that an adequate draft is being created by the appliance prior to activating the appliances air-heating system. If the sensor determines that an adequate draft is present, determined, e.g. by a pressure differential in the system, it will allow the appliance's air-heating system (either an electrical element or gas burner) to be activated. If the sensor determines that an inadequate draft is present, this may be symptomatic of a blocked or obstructed air-vent or lint trap, which is a potential hazard. In this case the system will not activate the heating system and an audible and/or visual warning of the failure mode may be displayed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the application of a novel process for the chemical and physical adaptation of chemical gypsum or phosphogypsum coming from the production of phosphoric acid and its use as a setting retarding agent in Portland type cements or in the preparation of other materials for construction. The adaptation is based on reactions in the solid state or in the presence of small amounts of water between the phosphogypsum and the agglutinating-neutralising agents, primarily by the application of oxy- and hydroxy-compounds, without rejecting the respective carbonates, of magnesium, aluminium and mainly calcium carbonate, along with mixtures thereof and later preparation of self-hardening pellets which facilitate its transport and handling. 
     The technological process associated with the invention notably simplifies the number and type of unitary operations, and the preparation of pellets of mixtures of phosphogypsum, along with a reduction in energy costs due to operating at low temperatures (150 °C) for short times (1-2 hours) and a reduction in the quantities of neutralising agents, and it also minimise the volume of water required in the process.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to notify a user of the delivery date of a photo print taking a time difference into consideration. When a print has been ordered by a user, the date and time of the order is converted from the time zone of the user to the time zone of the photo laboratory that will print the image. The print completion date and time in the time zone of the laboratory is calculated, and then a provisional delivery date and time in the time zone of a photo shop that will deliver the finished print is calculated. Business starting time is adopted as the delivery time of the print if the provisional delivery date and time is before office hours of the photo shop; the provisional delivery date and time is adopted as the delivery date and time of the print if the provisional delivery date and time is during office hours of the photo shop; and business starting time on the business day that follows the provisional delivery date is adopted as the delivery date and time if the provisional delivery date and time is after business hours of the photo shop.
