Title: Pharmaceutical preparations for the selectively supplementing estrogen deficiency in the central nervous system
Inventor: PATCHEV VLADIMIR
IPC: A61P15/12
Filed: 1999-02-10
Granted: 2001-10-04
Abstract: Selected steroids are used to produce pharmaceutical preparations for selectively supplementing oestrogen deficiency in the central nervous system (CNS) without influencing other organs or systems. These steroids are characterised in that they have a selective, neurotropic, oestrogen-like transcription effect, unlike the systemically active natural and synthetic oestrogens, including 17a-estradiol. It has been surprisingly discovered that the selected steroids, when used according to the invention, selectively influence the transcription of oestrogen-dependent genes in the central nervous system and cause alterations of the corresponding physiological parameters; have transcription effects specific to the central nervous systems in doses which have no biological effects on the tissues of the reproductive system; have transcription effects specific to the central nervous system at doses at which neither 17b-estradiol nor 17a-estradiol have any effect; and do not influence the transcription of oestrogen-dependent genes in the central nervous system to a greater extent than the secondary 17b-estradiol.

Abstract: A fastener for use in attaching a button to a garment or a piece of fabric and a fastener clip including one or more of said fasteners. In a preferred embodiment, the fastener comprises a U-shaped flexible filament and a pair of transverse feet, the transverse feet being disposed at opposite ends of the U-shaped flexible filament. The U-shaped flexible filament is generally rectangular in cross-section. The width of the filament is substantially uniform over its length whereas the thickness of the filament is greatest in its arcuate region (to maximize the strength of the fastener) and least towards the feet. Because of its U-shape, the filament is permitted to extend between adjacent button holes, thereby creating the appearance of thread. The transverse feet, which extend parallel to one another and perpendicularly to the plane of the filament, are sized and shaped both to fit through a button hole and, once inserted through the button hole and an underlying garment, to securely engage the underside of the garment. To minimize contact with a person's skin, the feet of the present fastener are preferably shorter than the transverse bars of existing button fasteners and are preferably comparable in overall size to a knot of thread used to secure a button to a sheet of clothing material. In addition, the feet preferably have rounded ends, a fiat top surface, and a contoured bottom surface to minimize contact with, and hence irritation of, a person's skin.

Title: System and method for managing return channel bandwidth in a two-way satellite system
Inventor: KELLY FRANK
IPC: H01Q3/08
Filed: 2001-04-12
Granted: 2002-09-26
Abstract: A system for managing return channel bandwidth in a two-way satellite communication network is disclosed. A plurality of transceivers are configured to transmit backlog information over a return channel via a satellite. The backlog information specifies an amount of queued traffic for the respective transceivers. A hub is configured to receive the backlog information and to allocate a predetermined amount of return channel bandwidth to each of the plurality of transceivers. The hub determines whether additional return channel bandwidth is available to accommodate a remaining backlog such that a bandwidth allocation amount is set to a level associated with one of the plurality of transceivers having the largest backlog. The hub selectively identifies a transceiver among the plurality of transceivers having a next largest backlog based upon the determined available return channel bandwidth. The hub selectively adjusts the bandwidth allocation amount to a level associated with the transceiver with the next largest backlog. The hub allocates the additional return channel bandwidth to the plurality of transceivers based upon the adjusted bandwidth allocation amount if the adjusted bandwidth allocation amount reduces at least a portion of the backlog of the plurality of transceivers.
