Title: In situ modification and manipulation of stem cells of the central nervous system
Inventor: WEISS SAMUEL
IPC: C12N5/0797
Filed: 1994-11-08
Abstract: Endogenous precursor cells are manipulated/modified in situ to induce the cells, by the application of one or more growth factors or similar compounds, to proliferate, differentiate and migrate within the CNS so as to replace lost or non-functional cells. The precursor cells are also altered in situ (in vivo) so as to secrete a compound which alters the function of other differentiated CNS cells.

Title: Method for making thin-walled, closed-ended, tubular articles of thermoplastic elastomers
Inventor: MILLER ROBERT G
IPC: B29C67/04
Filed: 1994-11-25
Abstract: A process for drawing, with plug assist, thin-walled, closed-ended, tubular articles of thermoplastic elastomer is disclosed as well as a thermoplastic elastomer and apparatus therefor.  According to the process, a plug (6), extensible into the mold cavity (5), is employed concurrently with a varying air pressure differential across the faces of the preform to bias the flow of the drawn article axially along the length of the tubular mold and away from the mold walls.

Title: Storm water dispersing system having multiple arches
Inventor: MOORE ROY E JR
IPC: E03F1/00
Filed: 1996-12-09
Abstract: In a system for dispersing stormwaters beneath the earth surface, a pair of arch shaped molded plastic chambers (20) lie parallel each to the other upon a bed of gravel and are covered with soil.  A bridge cover (50) spans the space (36) between the sidewalls (28) of the adjacent chambers, to keep the soil above from entering.          Preferably, abutting base flanges (30) establish the chamber spacing which fits the bridge cover and also protect gravel at the bottom of the space from erosion. Stormwater is preferably delivered to the space (36), to then flow through sidewall perforations (29) into the chambers' interiors where it is stored and gradually dispersed into the earth.  Debris settles in the pocket (31) at the bottom of the space (36) and is removed by a perforated pipe (90) lying in the space.   Chambers have high aspect ratios, of 0.8 to 1 or more, and steep sidewall angles, of less than 15 degrees.

Inventor: VEZINA JEAN A
IPC: G21F3/00
Filed: 1997-01-22
Abstract: Les filtres servent à éliminer les zones de débordement qui causent une sur-saturation, un éblouissement néfaste sur les images radiologiques. Les filtres consistent en un jeu de quatre pièces enveloppant le cou et la tête des malades. Ces pièces ajoutent 1 à 2 cm d'épaisseur à la circonférence de l'anatomie. Leur substance, un polyuréthanne, absorbe les radiations périphériques sensiblement autant que le ferait l'eau, et ce jusqu'au-delà des diaphragmes. Ainsi, l'éblouissement périphérique se trouve éliminé. La forme et l'agencement des pièces permettent un ajustement aux variations de la majorité des malades adultes. Les enfants nécessitent une sélection de grandeurs appropriées. Un rôle accessoire capital des pièces céphaliques est de bien immobiliser la tête durant l'exposition des clichés. Les pièces sont transparentes, permettant l'observation des malades, de la couleur de la peau et du contact du filtre avec celle-ci. Elles sont souples, légèrement élastiques, non allergènes, et résistant aux désinfectants.

Title: Noise abatement system for large caliber gun
Inventor: KAZYAKA RAYMOND P
IPC: F41A21/30
Filed: 1997-02-14
Abstract: A noise abatement system for a large caliber gun includes a gun muffler and a projectile stop, both of which are mounted on a concrete slab.  The gun muffler can be coupled at an end to a gun tube of the gun and serves to attenuate pressure waves caused by the firing of a projectile by the gun. The projectile stop is longitudinally aligned with the gun muffler and serves to selectively stop projectiles fired by the gun and to selectively permit projectiles to pass. The projectile stop preferably has an opened first end closest to the gun muffler and a second end to which a door is mounted. When it is desired to aim for a target beyond the projectile stop, the doors are opened to permit the projectile to pass through the projectile stop unhindered. When the projectile stop is used to stop projectiles, the doors are closed and the projectile stop is filled with a particulate material, such as sand.

IPC: H04M15/00
Filed: 1997-02-28
Abstract: A system for rating and billing telecommunication transactions in real-time. In a preferred embodiment, a Real-Time Analysis Engine (RAE) updates customers' bills in real-time by applying customer specific data to Automatic Message Accounting (AMA) records. In a typical update, a customer initiates a call that is routed through a telephone network switch. The switch generates an AMA record for the call, and the record is passed to the RAE where the call is rated. The RAE then matches the rated call to the customer who initiated the call, locates that customer's billing data, and applies to the call any discounts to which the customer is entitled. After the call has been rated and discounted, or "priced", it may be added to the customer's other priced calls for the current billing period to generate a current bill for the customer.
