Abstract: The present invention relates to liver reserve or progenitor cells. In particular, it relates to the isolation, characterization, culturing, and uses of liver reserve cells. Liver reserve cells isolated by density gradient centrifugation can be distinguished from other liver parenchymal cells by their morphology, staining characteristics, high proliferative activity and ability to differentiate in vitro. In long-term cultures described herein, these cells expand in numbers and differentiate into morphologically mature liver parenchymal cells, capable of mediating liver-specific functions. Therefore, isolated liver reserve cells may have a wide range of applications, including, but not limited to, their uses as vehicles of exogenous genes in gene therapy, and/or to replace and reconstitute a destroyed, infected, or genetically deficient mammalian liver by transplantation.

Abstract: The molecular weight distribution of carboxymethylcellulose or its salt is determined by gel permeation chromatography using a metal-amine complex and/or a metal-alkali complex as the mobile phase solvent. The column geometry (in. dia./length) and flow rate for this determination are 1:40-100 and 0.2-0.5 ml/min., respectively. 
     According to this method, the GPC determination of molecular weight distribution can be performed under the same conditions for both starting pulp and CMC.

Abstract: Honeycomb curtain wall utilizing composite honeycomb panels made with honeycomb core having t and c (t: plate thickness of the honeycomb core material, c: cell size of the honeycomb core) selected so that warping amount of the panel by heat distortion becomes less than a specified value in the relationship between the warping amount and t/c and frames placed at the periphery. The composite honeycomb panel can be mounted directly on the building main frame and can withstand outer pressure loads to the exterior walls of the building because the rigidity of the honeycomb panel removes the need for additional bracing. Periphery frames compose the joining portions of adjacent materials. 
The above structure enables the use of large honeycomb panels and simple construction process as well as increasing effective room space of the building due to reduced total wall thickness.

Abstract: A filter (10) for rezeroing an in-vivo pressure sensor (2) is disclosed. The filter (10) operates in a signal mode and a rezero mode. In the signal mode, the filter (10) is a low pass filter which filters out noise. In the rezero mode, the filter (10) is a low pass filter which filters out the dynamic components of an in-vivo pressure signal caused by the rezeroing of the pressure sensor (2). The filter (10) is switchable between the signal and rezero modes. The filter (10) is implemented by means of an active two pole RC filter (14) with a Butterworth response. A circuit (16) is provided to shorten the time in which the filter (14) reaches its final response characteristic. Also disclosed is a method for processing an output from an in vivo pressure transducer (2), the output signal comprising noise, a mean pressure signal and a dynamic pressure signal. The method comprises the steps of: receiving as an input, the output signal from the pressure transducer (2); filtering out the noise from the received input by means of a first filter circuit (14a); and, filtering out the dynamic pressure signal while passing the mean pressure signal by connecting a second circuit (14b) to the first filter circuit (14a).

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for determining the occurrence of an apnea, patency and/or partial obstruction of the airway are disclosed. Respiratory air flow from a patient is measured to give an air flow signal. The determination of an apnea is performed by calculating the variance of the air flow signal over a moving time window and comparing the variance with a threshold value. One determination of partial obstruction of the airway is performed by detecting the inspiratory part of the air flow signal, scaling it to unity duration and area and calculating an index value of the amplitude of the scaled signal over a mid-portion. Alternatively, the index value is a measure of the flatness of the air flow signal over the mid-portion. One determination of patency of the airway is performed by applying an oscillatory pressure waveform of known frequency to a patient's airway, calculating the magnitude of the component of said air flow signal at the known frequency induced by the oscillatory pressure waveform and comparing the calculated magnitude with a threshold value. Alternatively, the air flow signal is analysed to detect the presence of a component due to cardiogenic activity.

Abstract: The printing unit has two interacting nip-forming cylinders (1, 4) which exhibit printing saddles (2, 5) separated by cylinder grooves (3, 6). The paper web (7) passing the nip is transported in pilgrim-step operation in order to print adjoining formats. The two cylinders (1, 4) can be adjusted at an angle, with respect to the position of their printing saddles (2, 5) interacting in the nip, offset with respect to one another by a circumferential distance which is approximately equal to the difference between the circumferential length (S) of a printing saddle and the circumferential length (B) of a printed image. Consequently, the printed zone is only approximately as large as the printed image, and the printing-free zone available for drawing back the paper web is correspondingly enlarged. <IMAGE>
