Abstract: The invention concerns an illuminating spotlight emitting a narrow beam. The spotlight has a highly concentrated light source and a concave reflector for emitting an illuminating beam in a specific direction, along an emitting axis. A converging lens is interposed between the source and the reflector and in a plane passing through a conical segment. The source is bordered laterally on the reflector side with a sector of the converging lens providing a virtual image of the source located beyond the emitting axis, on the side opposite that of the lens. The virtual image of the light source is formed at the focus of the conical segment locally defining the reflector.

Abstract: This invention is a multiple access communication technique by which a multitude of transmitters communicate with receivers using direct sequence spread spectrum signaling. The direct sequence codes are reused by a large number of simultaneous transmitters, so the system is named Code Reuse Multiple Access ("CRMA"). This reuse method requires only a small number of codes relative to the number of simultaneous transmitters, and can use as few as one code for all the users. The direct sequence codes are not required to have special properties such as maximal length. The lengths of the spreading codes employed are not necessarily related to the bit or symbol interval. CRMA can be implemented on a Paired Carrier Multiple Access ("PCMA") system with or without a novel receiver structure which is also described.

Abstract: Techniques to adjust the phase rotation of a modulated signal to compensate for the phase rotation introduced by circuit elements associated with the transmit signal path. In one implementation, at least one control signal is received, with each control signal being provided to adjust a particular characteristic (e.g., gain, bias current) of one or more circuit elements (e.g., VGA, PA) associated with the transmit signal path. The circuit elements can be located directly in, or operatively coupled to, the transmit signal path. A phase rotation corresponding to an operating state defined by the received control signal(s) is then determined, and the phase of the modulated signal is rotated by an amount related to the determined phase rotation. The phase rotation compensation can be performed at various locations along the transmit signal path by rotating either the data, the PN sequences used to spectrally spread the data, or the carrier signals used to modulate the data.

Abstract: An endovascular graft, e.g., having both an expandable stent portion and a stent cover portion positioned within and/or surrounding the expandable portion, the graft itself and/or a stent cover portion being coated with a bioactive agent adapted to promote initial thrombus formation, preferably followed by long term fibrous tissue in growth. The endovascular graft addresses concerns regarding endoleaking by permitting the graft to be deployed and used in a manner that promotes a short term hemostatic effect in the perigraft region. This short term effect can, in turn, be used to promote or permit long term fibrous tissue ingrowth. Particularly where the stent cover portion is prepared from a porous material selected from PET and ePTFE, the bioactive agent can include a thrombogenic agent such as collagen covalently attached in the form of a thin, conformal coating on at least the outer surface of the stent cover. An optimal coating of this type is formed by the activation of photoreaction groups provided by either the cover material itself, by the bioactive agent itself, and/or by a linking agent.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of determining thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) activity in a subject. The method includes the steps of reacting sample obtained from the subject with a thiopurine derivative that is not 6-mercaptopurine to produce a methylated purine product; contacting the reacted sample with acid, thereby precipitating proteinaceous material from the reacted sample; separating supernatant from the precipitated proteinaceous material; and detecting in the supernatant the methylated purine product, where the amount of the methylated purine product indicates a level of thiopurine methyltransferase activity in the subject. In a method of the invention, the subject can be, for example, an inflammatory bowel disease patient. In one embodiment, the acid used to precipitate proteinaceous material is perchloric acid, for example, 70% perchloric acid. In another embodiment, the thiopurine derivative used as a substrate is 6-thioguanine. In a further embodiment, the methylated purine product is detected by fluorescence, which can be combined, if desired, with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
