Abstract: The present invention demonstrates that light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have electrical characteristics that can be used to dramatically reduce the complexity and cost of the traffic signaling equipment needed to control the array of signals to give the right of way to the vehicles in a given intersection. This also enhances the energy saving features of LEDs by relocating the power source to the traffic signal control system and the electric conditioning devices to the signal position, increasing the energy efficiency of the whole intersection. One benefit is "intrinsic safety' based on a method for power distribution to the signals that does not allow failure modes that could cause accidents. The system ensures that simultaneous green or yellow signals on crossed streets are impossible even though the signals are connected to the same power lines, allowing also the use of a bus connection topology with a command driven control of the ON/OFF state for each individual light or signal. This "phase conflict prevention' is safer and simpler than the prior art and also eliminates the need of the independent monitoring equipment usually required to prevent such hazardous conditions. Also there is a large reduction in the number of wires resulting in even greater controller simplicity due to the ability of controlling a larger number of signals with a given number of electric conductors than in the prior art.

Abstract: The invention discloses several novel therapeutic properties and methods of treatment using the recombinant erythropoietin prepared by expression from the Apa I restriction fragment of human genomic erythropoietin DNA transformed into baby hamster kidney cells (BHK) according to U.S. Patent No. 5,688,697 to Powell. This recombinant erythropoietin designated herein as Epoetin Omega is shown to possess several unexpected and superior qualities over other recombinant erythropoieteins such as those designated Epoetin Alfa and Beta which are prepared from genomic or cDNA expressed in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) according to U.S. Patent Nos. 4,703,008 and 5,955,422 to Lin. The superior properties of Epoetin Omega include, but are not limited to, a much higher potency, a much more rapid response (i.e. no latency), longer effective serum levels, much lower antigenicity in human subjects, therapeutic activity in subjects non-responsive to the other epoetins, fewer adverse side effects such as incidents of thrombosis, reduced nausea, reduced pain at the site of injection, reduction in body pain, and most significantly, the absence of, or reduced risk of, increased blood pressure or hypertension. These novel properties provide for novel therapeutic methods including, treatment of anemia and treatment of conditions other than anemia such as fatigue or vascular pain, treatment in patients adversely effected by hypertension such as patients with heart conditions or at increased risk of thrombosis, treatment in oncology settings with and without chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and treatment with novel dosing regiments that include much lower doses and lower administration frequencies of as few as once per week or less.

Abstract: The present invention relates in particular to high resolution large displays, the basic idea being to compose the display of many transparent films. This is done by firstly composing individual screen elements of said films and then stacking the elements to form a large display. The construction makes it possible to lead the conductor tracks away toward the rear and thus also to shift the terminal points toward the rear. The lateral edge at the respective screen element is thus obviated and the individual screen elements can be strung together to form a large display in a manner that is not visible to the observer. Depending on the construction and formation of the films, the pixels are generated by means of liquid crystals or organic light-emitting polymers.
