Title: Decellularized tissue
Inventor: MIYAKE JUN
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2003-06-27
Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to overcome a problem that there is an inverse relationship between the decellularization rate and the strength of tissue. This problem was solved by immersing tissue in a solution containing a non-micellar amphipathic molecule (e.g., a 1,2-epoxide polymer). Thus, the present invention provides decellularized tissue, in which the cell survival rate of the tissue is less than a level at which calcification or an immune reaction is elicited in an organism and the tissue damage rate of the tissue is suppressed to a level which permits clinical applications. Tissue prepare d by the above-described treatment preferably retains a certain level of tissu e strength. Further, the tissue of the present invention has an effect of performing cell replacement.

Inventor: PHILLIPS CATHERINE
IPC: G06F7/00
Filed: 2005-02-09
Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for placing data that is to be communicated pursuant to a synchronization session into efficient form. The synchronization session operates to synchronize database copies to place the data records of the database copies in match with one another. A coordinator coordinates change entries that are placed into a change listing. The coordination removes redundancies of the change entries so that the change entries that form a change history are maintained in efficient form, thereby to minimize the bandwidth required upon a radio air interface to communicate such information pursuant to a synchronization session.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un matériau d'embolisation vasculaire destiné à emboliser un vaisseau sanguin dans le but de bloquer le flux sanguin. Dans les cas les plus souhaitables, le matériau d'embolisation est constitué d'un copolymère de polyéthylène glycol avec un rapport de gonflement à l'eau de 30 % ou plus, dégradable dans un milieu physiologique salin tamponné au phosphate, consistant en des grains presque sphériques et étant, de préférence, insoluble dans l'eau, et un film constitué de ce polymère possède un module d'élasticité de 15000 Mpa, ou moins, sur le point d'être saturé en eau. Ce matériau rend possible le blocage sûr d'un site cible sans provoquer de coagulation/colmatage dans un cathéter ou dans un vaisseau sanguin autre que dans celui ciblé. Ensuite, le matériau est dégradé, ce qui libère le blocage de flux sanguin et les composants de dégradation peuvent être métabolisés ou éliminés du corps.

Patent CA-2517299-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SAMSOONDAR JAMES
IPC: A61B5/153
Filed: 2005-08-26
Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a needle with a sharp open end and a blunt open end, housed in a barrel with an open anterior end and an open posterior end. The barrel can travel along the hub of the needle, for extending the needle for insertion into a blood vessel, and for retracting the needle into the barrel to avoid injury. The blunt open end can be fluidly connected to the inlet of a measurement apparatus, so that the blood can flow directly into the measurement apparatus, eliminating the traditional step of transferring the blood from a syringe to the measurement apparatus. The hollow needle assembly can remain attached to the measurement apparatus because of its small size, and the engagement of an optional safety cap to the open anterior end of the barrel, minimizes the risk of injury and blood contamination. Because a small blood sample is required, a very small needle shaft can be used, minimizing the discomfort experienced by the patient.

Abstract: A fixture and method for replacing brake spiders on heavy duty vehicle and truck axles includes providing a fixture having a cylindrical body with a flat surface and internal bores slightly larger than the bearing surfaces on the axle having a damaged brake spider. The fixture also includes two longitudinally oriented and moveable guides or fingers which can be secured to the body. The method comprises the steps of determining a reference distance between a feature of the axle and the brake spider which may be facilitated by positioning the fixture on a vehicle axle and adjusting and securing the pair of fingers to record the reference distance. The fixture is then removed and the damaged spider is removed from the axle with, for example, an oxy-acetylene torch. Next, a new spider is temporarily attached to the fixture, the spider and fixture are placed on the axle with the fixture against the axle shoulder and the fingers are adjusted, if necessary, to locate the replacement spider at the previously determined reference distance. The spider is then tack welded to the axle, the fixture is removed and the spider is securely welded to the axle. The brake components may then be reassembled to the spider.
