IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1995-03-16
Abstract: In a method and apparatus for orienting and guiding the application of tools, e.g. a surgical tool during carrying out a surgical procedure on a patient, the patient is secured to a subject support (10). A wand (40) is inserted into a tool guide (60). The wand has a tip portion (44), a portion extending along a pointing axis (46) of the wand, an offset portion (42) which is offset from the pointing axis of the wand, and at least two wand emitters (48, 50), mountd in alignment with the pointing axis of the wand. The two emitters selectively emit signals which are received by receivers (14) mounted to a frame assembly (12). The tool guide includes a bore (76) extending along a guide axis. The bore is configured for selectively receiving a tool and the tip portion of the wand. An entry point and a trajectory are identified by the surgeon with the wand in the guide. More specifically, a trajectory and location of the wand are superimposed on a diagnostic image on a monitor (30). If the surgeon is satisfied with the entry point and trajectory shown on the monitor, a surgical tool is inserted into the bore while the tool guide is held along the designated trajectory and at the designated entry point.

Abstract: Optical fibers typically comprise a protective polymer coating, frequently a dual coating. For splicing of fibers, as well as for many other reasons, it is necessary to remove the coating from a length of fiber. This can inter alia be accomplished by mechanical means, and stripping tools are known. Such stripping tools typically comprise a blade, or a pair of opposed blades, that cut into the fiber coating and are used to apply an axial (shear) force to the coating. Although prior art stripping tools work adequately in many circumstances, it is frequently difficult to cleanly remove relatively long lengths L of dual polymer coating from optical fiber. We have now discovered that removal of the coating from a length L of fiber is facilitated if the tool comprises a multiplicity of blades arranged such that the coating is cut not only at a point a distance L from the fiber end but also at a point L' from the fiber end, where L' < L.

Abstract: A computer system typically comprises a processor 12, a first bus 16 for conducting signals in accordance with a first bus protocol that does not support I/O address signals; a second bus 19 for conducting signals in accordance with a second bus protocol that supports input/output (I/O) address signals; and a bridge circuit 18 for coupling the first bus to the second bus. The processor includes a circuit for emitting address signals and an address type signal directed to a selected peripheral device. The bridge circuit comprises a filter 52 for determining whether the address signal emitted by the processor corresponds to a peripheral device coupled to a bus subordinate to the bridge circuit; and a translation circuit 54, coupled to the filter, for translating signals in accordance with the first bus protocol to signals in accordance with the second bus protocol for transmission to the selected peripheral device.

Abstract: A tool for facilitating the even slicing of a bagel-like food items comprising a pair of spaced apart walls (16,18) joined along the upper edges to a base (20) running parallel to the upper edges of the walls. The base (20) has a first end and a second end, with a slot (22) in the inner face thereof opening towards the interior of the space defined by the spaced apart walls. The slot (22) accommodates a slicing blade. Inner surfaces (28,30) of the spaced apart walls have a pattern of protrusions (32) for gripping said bagel when the walls (16,18) are pressed against the surfaces of the bagels. Preferably the ends of the slots are bevelled to facilitate entry of said slicing blade. Conveniently, the spaced apart walls (16,18) are hinged to the base by hinges (66) at the upper edges and the outer surfaces of said walls are provided with handles. The hinges may be biased to pivot said walls away from each other.

Abstract: An apparatus to generate magnetism comprises a plurality of magnetism-generating circuits (U1,U2,U3) which are cascaded with respect to each other. Each magnetism-generating circuit contains a coil member (Z1,Z2,Z3) to generate magnetism and a capacitor (C1,C2,C3) to provisionally store the current across said coil member. A conduction-controlling circuit (TS) which is to operate the magnetism-generating circuits in a prescribed order is also provided. With this arrangement an improved current efficiency and a stabilized operation can be attained even when used to generate high-power magnetic pulses at shortened pulse intervals.

Abstract: A generalized frequency dependent predistortion circuit for nonlinear optic devices includes a pre-filter and post-filter associated with a linearizer (distorter). A multi-channel sub-carrier electrical signal is input to a splitter (72) which provides on a primary path (50) a signal to a time delay and hence to a coupler to the secondary paths. In the first secondary path (52), a pre-filter (56) provides a signal to a second order distorter (58). This signal is then subject to a post-filter (60) and then to a variable attenuator (68). In the second secondary path, a third order distorter (54) again has an associated pre-filter (62) and post-filter (66) with a variable attenuator (70) downstream of the post-filter. The variable attenuators in each path provide frequency independent attenuation. In one version the distorters in both paths are nonlinear diode circuits. The second secondary path provides very low fundamental leak-through.

Title: Peptide specificity of anti-myelin basic protein and the administration of myelin basic protein peptides to multiple sclerosis patients
Inventor: WARREN KENNETH G
IPC: A61K38/08
Filed: 1995-10-20
Abstract: Human myelin basic protein (h-MBP) has a molecular weight of 18.5 KD and contains 170 amino acid residues. Synthetic peptides ranging in length from about 8 to 25 residues and covering the entire length of the protein have been produced. Antibodies to h-MBP (anti-MBP) were found to be neutralized by the synthetic peptides, in vitro, which span the h-MBP from about amino acid residue 61 to about amino acid residue 106. The peptides, which cover both the amino (about residues 1 to 63) and carboxy (about residues 117 to 162) terminals of h-MBP did not neutralize purified anti-MBP. Intrathecal administration of peptide MBP75-95, either as a single dose, or as repeated injections for periods up to 10 weeks, produced complete binding-neutralization of free (F) anti-MBP with no change in bound (B) levels. A control peptide MBP35-58 had no effect on F or B anti-MBP levels. Intravenous administration of MBP75-95 resulted in significant decline of F and B CSF anti-MBP levels over a period of one month. Administration of MBP synthetic peptides to MS patients either intrathecally or intravenously did not have any adverse neurological effects and systemic complications did not occur. The MBP epitope for MS anti-MBP has been localized to an area between Pro85 and Pro96.

Abstract: At least one client application (510) creates a message to be transmitted to a receiver (240). The client application transmits the message to an encoder which receives the message and other messages from other client applications. The encoder transforms the composite messages into packets and multiplexes them into a bitstream to be encoded with a video programming signal. The multiplexing is performed according to priorities assigned to the at least one client application and the other applications. The encoder transmits the bitstream to a video encoder to transmit the bitstream with the programming signal to be received by a decoder. The decoder can then decode the information from the video signal and transmit the information to at least one decoder client application. The client applications may include a status application which transmits a status information (e.g. time references) at regular intervals; a program application which transmits descriptive information of the video programming synchronized with the video signal (e.g. program markers and/or program text, such as closed-captions and/or subtitles); and a non-program application.
