Abstract: A collapsible footrest assembly for a gliding ottoman with a top structure gliding upon a base. A pair of parallel, elongated slides are movably mounted under the top structure between upper and lower positions with respect to the top structure. A footrest is slidably and pivotally mounted between the slides for sliding operation between a slide-in position wherein the footrest extends and is supported between the slides and a slide-out position wherein the footrest is drawn out and pivoted down in front of the slides. The slide arrangement is detachably hooked under the top structure in the upper position, and is detachably locked with the base when it is in the lower position to prevent the ottoman from gliding when the footrest is in use.

The optical assembly collects the electromag-netic radiation emanating from each of the vol-ume elements with a collected distribution that drops off substantially monotonically from a second region in a second optical path. The first and second regions at least partially over-lap in each of the volume elements. The op-tical assembly can be configured as a probe, to be directed to the evaluation of a sample of a biological material. A protective barrier can be disposed between the optical assembly and a body tissue, to prevent contamination of the optical assembly by said body tissue.

Title: Methods and apparatus for detecting refrigerator door openings
Inventor: BULTMAN ROBERT M
IPC: F25D29/00
Filed: 2001-12-20
Abstract: A detection apparatus for detecting refrigerator door openings is coupled to at least one switch configured to be activated by a door opening.  When the door is opened, the switch is activated and inputs a signal to the detection apparatus. The detection apparatus rectifies the signal; and phase-shifts the rectified signal so that it leads or lags the line voltage. The shifted output signal is fed to a processor that detects the opening of the door based upon the shifted signal. Signals output by a plurality of switches that generate a signal when activated mixed using an opto-coupler. Relative impedance of the lead and lag circuits may be adjusted to differentiate a phase shift of one shifted signal relative to another signal.  The processor converts a value in degrees of phase shifting of the mixed signal to a time value, and based upon the time value, the processor determines which of the doors is open.

Title: Protection of endogenous therapeutic peptides from peptidase activity through conjugation to blood components
Inventor: EZRIN ALAN M
IPC: A61K47/42
Filed: 2000-05-17
Abstract: A method for protecting a peptide from peptidase activity in vivo, the peptide being composed of between 2 and 50 amino acids and having a C-terminus and an N-terminus and a C-terminus amino acid and an N-terminus amino acid is described.  In the first step of the method, the peptide is modified by attaching a reactive group to the C-terminus amino acid, to the N-terminus amino acid, or to an amino acid located between the N-terminus and the C-terminus, such that the modified peptide is capable of forming a covalent bond in vivo with a reactive functionality on a blood component. In the next step, a covalent bond is formed between the reactive group and a reactive functionality on a blood component to form a peptide-blood component conjugate, thereby protecting said peptide from peptidase activity. The final step of the method involves the analyzing of the stability of the peptide--blood component conjugate to assess the protection of the peptide from peptidase activity.

Title: Static micromixer
Inventor: SCHUBERT KLAUS
IPC: B01F23/10
Filed: 2000-06-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a static micromixer comprising at least one mixing chamber and one guide component (1) which is connected upstream therefrom and which is provided for separately supplying fluids to be mixed or dispersed.  Slotted channels (2a, 2b) running diagonal to the longitudinal axis of the micromixer pass through said guide component. The channels (2a, 2b) alternately cross without touching, open into a mixing chamber (4) and form a common outlet cross-section (3a) there. The aim of the invention is to configure the guide component (1), which improves upon the prior art, such that fluid pressure losses occurring in the guide component (1) are further reduced between the inlet side (2a, 2b) and the common outlet side (3a). To this end, the cross-sections of the channels (2a, 2b) enlarge, toward the inlet side, for at least a portion of the media flows to be mixed.

Patent CA-2379711-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ALLS JOHN L
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2000-06-30
Abstract: In a recognition complex system, nucleic acid ligands comprising random DNA sequences are operatively coupled to an organic semiconductor and distribute d so as to form an array of recognition complexes. When an unknown chemical or  biological analyte is applied to the array, the electrical and/or photochemical properties of one or more of the recognition complexes are altered upon binding of the nucleic acid ligand to the analyte. The degree t o which the electrical and/or photochemical properties change is a function of  the affinity of the nucleic acid ligand sequence for the analyte. The electrical and photochemical changes associated with the array, as a whole, can be used as a unique signature to identify the analyte. In certain embodiments, an iterative process of selection and amplification of nucleic acid ligands that bind to the analyte can be used to generate a new array wi th greater affinity and specificity for a target analyte, or to produce one or more nucleic acid ligands with high binding affinity for an analyte. The present invention also provides methods for preparing nucleic acid ligands that bind with high affinity to an analyte and using such nucleic acid ligan ds to neutralize the analyte.

Title: Attenuation of fibroblast proliferation
Inventor: SILVER PAUL J
IPC: A61P17/02
Filed: 2000-11-28
Abstract: Highly purified and specific glycosaminoglycan degrading enzymes, chondroitinase B and chondroitinase AC, are used to treat fibroproliferative  diseases. The enzymatic removal of chondroitin sulfate B (dermatan sulfate),  and to a lesser extent, chondroitin sulfate A or C, from cell surfaces effectively decreases growth factor receptors on the cells and thereby decreases the cell proliferative response to such growth factors. In additio n, removal of chondroitin sulfates reduces secretion of collagen, one of the major extracellular matrix components. Through the combined inhibition of fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis, treatment with chondroitina se B or chondroitinase AC decreases the size of fibrous tissue found in psoriasis, scleroderma, keloids, pulmonary fibrosis and surgical adhesions.< /SDOAB>
