Title: Method and apparatus for free space optical communication using incoherent light
Inventor: WINSOR ROBERT S
IPC: H04B10/00
Filed: 2005-02-18
Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for a free space optical communication link that transmits and receives an optical signal using phase incoherent light. In one embodiment, the phase incoherent light source may be a Superluminescent Light Emitting Diode (SLED). Use of phase incoherent light reduces signal scintillation by significantly reducing speckle in the transmitted signal. The result is an optical link that does not need an adaptive optical control loop to correct for speckle and that may modularly replace conventional laser-based phase-coherent free space optical links typically used in free space optical link systems. Use of the described apparatus and methods results in reduced system size, reduced system weight, reduced system complexity, reduced power consumption, a lower initial system cost, a reduced failure rate, a decreased bit error rate, lower lifecycle maintenance costs, greater reliability, greater link availability, increased link throughput and improved network performance.

Title: Method for reconstructing tissue engineered human corneal endothelium
Inventor: FAN TINGJUN
IPC: A61F2/14
Filed: 2010-02-08
Abstract: This invention relates to a method for the reconstruction of a tissue-engineered human corneal endothelium. Human corneal endothelial cells are cultured  in vitro  to logarithmic growth phase using 20% calf bovine serum-containing DMEM/F12 medium. Trypsin is used to digest epithelial layer of the freeze-dried human amniotic membrane in order to produce denuded human amniotic membrane as scaffold carriers. The scaffold carriers are tiled on the bottom of culture plate wells until they are dried and completely adhered to the bottom of wells. Human corneal endothelial cells at logarithmic growth phase are re-suspended in DMEM/F12 medium containing type-IV collagen and 20% calf bovine serum. Human corneal endothelial cell suspension is subsequently inoculated to amniotic membrane scaffold carriers that are tiled on the bottom of wells in culture plate to launch  in vitro  culture as well as  in vitro  reconstruction of tissue-engineered human corneal endothelium. This invention is scientific and rational. The reconstructed tissue-engineered human corneal endothelium can be produced on large scale to satisfy the great demand of tissue-engineered human corneal endothelium in clinical cornea transplantation for primary corneal endotheliopathy therapy. Meanwhile, costs for  in vitro  reconstruction of tissue-engineered human corneal endothelium and clinical therapy are low.

Title: Paging receiver with programmable areas of reception
IPC: G08B5/22
Filed: 1988-10-18
Abstract: A paging receiver (10) is disclosed which is compatible with transmissions from analog or digital paging transmitters. The paging receiver has a command structure which permits it to be dynamically programmable to change its functionality including programming of the channel frequencies which the paging receiver is to receive. The programmability of the channel frequencies permits the paging receiver to be used for making national, regional, remote area, local area, and sublocal area pages, and pages to a group in the local area and to switch from channel frequencies which are heavily used during peak paging times to lesser used channels. The paging receiver transmits paging receiver identification code digits in an order of increasing significance which significantly lessens power consumption for all paging receivers tuned to a particular frequency for determining if a page is to be received which prolongs paging receiver battery life. The paging receiver displays the place of origin of pages as either being of local origin or from other areas. The paging receiver antenna (12) is continuously tunable to permit compensation for variation in antenna gain caused by environmental factors which can seriously degrade signal strength.

Patent EP-0550769-A4 (EP)
IPC: C12N15/12
Filed: 1992-07-24
Abstract: A hematopoietic stem cell multiplier containing at least one hepatocyte proliferating factor as an active ingredient. Because hepatocyte proliferating factors have an activity of proliferating undifferentiated pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells, they are useful as a hematopoietic stem cell multiplier not only in treating bone marrow inhibition and insufficiency but also in effecting in vitro growth of peripheral blood stem cells and bone marrow stem cells. Further it is possible to derive a hepatocyte proliferating factor from human normal fibroblasts among other hepatocyte proliferating factors by the gene recombination technique, and the obtained proliferating factor is, too, useful as a hematopoietic stem cell multiplier. <IMAGE>
