Title: Ablation treatment of bone metastases
Inventor: COSMAN ERIC R
IPC: A61B18/14
Filed: 2000-06-07
Granted: 2011-05-17
Abstract: Ablative treatment of metastatic bone tumors and relief of pain associated with metastatic bone tumors is achieved by heat ablation of the bone tumor or tissue near the bone tumor by an ablation probe. In one form the probe is an electrode coupled to a high frequency power supply to provide ablative heating of tissue proximate to an electrode that is placed in or near the bone tumor. Cooling of the electrode by fluid circulation from a cooling apparatus outside the patient's body may be used to enlarge the region of high frequency heating around the electrode. Image guidance of the electrode placement may be monitored by an imaging device. Tracking of the electrode by an image-guided navigator helps in placement of the electrode with respect to the configuration of the bone and bone metastasis. A set of tools accommodates biopsy and various shapes of electrodes according to clinical requirements. Several forms of electrodes, energy delivery and cooling apparatus and methods accommodate the specific objectives.

Granted: 2010-04-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to novel nucleic acid molecules encoding a Rhesus D antigen contributing to the weak D phenotype which are characterized by one or a combination of missense mutations or by a gene conversion involving exons 6 to 9 of the RHD and RHCE genes. The present invention further relates to vectors comprising the nucleic acid molecules of the invention, to hosts transformed with said vectors, to proteins encoded by said nucleic acid molecules and to methods of producing such polypeptides. The fact that missense mutations and the conversion referred to above can be directly correlated to the weak D phenotype has a significant impact on the routine testing of blood samples. For example, oligonucleotides and antibodies can now be designed that generally allow the detection of weak D  phenotypes in a sample. Such oligonucleotides, antibodies as well as a variety of diagnostic methods all fall within the scope of the present invention. RhD antigens encoded by the novel nucleic acid molecules may be used for the characterization, standardization and quality control of monoclonal and polyclonal anti-D antisera. Finally, the invention relates to a kit useful for testing for the presence of weak D  phenotypes.

Granted: 2006-10-10
Abstract: A method of and apparatus for controlling a user's private verification information uses a secure controlled server. When making a purchase, rather than the user transmitting their private verification information to a merchant, the merchant contacts the controlled server. During the contact from the merchant to the controlled server, the merchant identifies the user and any non-private information the merchant has regarding the user as well as the nature of the transaction. If the purchase is valid, the controlled server will authorize the transaction to the merchant. In this way, the user never need transmit its private verification information to the merchant. The merchant only learns whether the transaction is authorized, and no further information is exchanged. To ascertain whether the transaction is authorized, the controlled server can either make the determination based upon certain predetermined criteria, or contact the user, such as via e-mail. Additionally, the controlled server can provide other services to the user. The user can establish criteria for receipt of advertisements. Also, the user can request information regarding a particular item for purchase. The controlled server can also be used to control the timing of the receipt of bills, by electronic means rather than through the mail.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une technique de correction d'erreur anticipative destinée à un système de télécommunications hertzien, selon laquelle un système de codage convolutif est appliqué aux bits dune tranche d'un bloc de données, un second système de codage évolutif est appliqué aux bits d'une seconde tranche dudit bloc de données et où une seconde partie du bloc de données peut englober une partie ou la totalité du bloc de données, première tranche incluse. Les premier et second systèmes de codage peuvent être mis en oeuvre au moyen d'une même formule de codage convolutif avec respectivement un premier et un second système de poinçonnement. Le premier système de codage fait appel à un premier débit de code, le second système de codage à un second débit de code qui est plus élevé que le premier débit. Grâce à ce débit plus élevé, il est possible d'intégrer un ou plusieurs bits d'extrémité dans la seconde partie du bloc de données. On évite ainsi de devoir produire des symboles supplémentaires, tels que des symboles de multiplexage à fréquence orthogonale.

Title: Sterilizer with vacuum-assisted air removal
Inventor: CIORACA DORIN
IPC: A61B50/33
Filed: 2000-04-06
Granted: 2007-08-07
Abstract: A sterilizer for medical instruments is compact and designed to be placed on a table top. The sterilizer provides includes a cavity for receiving a cassette holding the instruments to be sterilized. A stream circuit provides steam to the cassette for sterilization, and the time required for sterilization is reduced by withdrawing air from the cassette by application of a vacuum. The cavity is evacuated at the same time as the cassette to prevent application of high stresses to the cassette during the vacuum-assisted withdrawal of air. The time for sterilization is further reduced by use of dual heat exchangers to reduce the volume removed from the cassette.
