Title: Improvements in or relating to tube couplings for connecting a pair of conduits for carrying a cable
Inventor: GUEST JOHN DEREK
IPC: H02G9/06
Filed: 2007-02-07
Granted: 2013-01-31
Abstract: A tube coupling for connection to a conduit through which a cable (e.g. an optical fibre cable) may pass comprises a coupling body having an open ended throughway to receive an end of the conduit for carrying a cable and a 10 tube locking device in the open end of the throughway for locking the conduit in the coupling body. The throughway has a reduced diameter section part way along the throughway with an annular step at an end of the section facing towards the open end of the throughway to receive the end of the 15 conduit inserted into the throughway. An annular flexible sealing member is disposed adjacent the step to be forced by an end of a tube inserted into the throughway into the reduced diameter section of the throughway. The resulting compression of the annular flexible seal forces the seal 20 into sealing engagement with a cable extending along the throughway to provide a seal between the coupling body and cable. 18 15 23 24 30 27 28 16 FIG. 1

Title: Dialogue enhancement techniques
Inventor: WON JUNG YANG
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 2007-09-14
Granted: 2011-09-22
Abstract: A plural-channel audio signal (e.g., a stereo audio) is processed to modify a gain (e.g., a volume or loudness) of a speech component signal (e.g., dialogue spoken by actors in a movie) relative to an ambient component signal (e.g., reflected or reverberated sound) or other component signals. In one aspect, the speech component signal is identified and modified. In one aspect, the speech component signal is identified by assuming that the speech source (e.g., the actor currently speaking) is in the center of a stereo sound image of the plural-channel audio signal and by considering the spectral content of the speech component signal.

Title: FVIII-independent FIX-mutant proteins for hemophilia A treatment
Inventor: SCHEIFLINGER FRIEDRICH
IPC: C12N9/64
Filed: 2008-01-29
Granted: 2012-11-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to recombinant blood coagulation factor IX (rFIX) mutants having factor VIII (FVIII) independent factor X (FX) activation potential. Five full length FIX proteins with combinations of mutations of amino acids important for functional activity of FIX and FIX wild type were cloned and expressed in HEK 293 cells. The proteins were tested by an activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) assay in FVIII-depleted plasma as well as in FVIII-inhibited patient plasma. In FVIII-depleted plasma functional activity of the FIX mutants was calculated as increased FVIII equivalent activity. The mutant proteins had increased FVIII equivalent activity. In FVIII-inhibited patient plasma the FEIBA equivalent activity was calculated for analysis of FVIII independent FX activation potential. The proteins had also increased FEIBA equivalent activity. Furthermore, the pre-activated FIX proteins had an increased activity in FIX-depleted plasma containing FVIII inhibitors. Therefore these FIX mutants are alternatives as bypassing agents for treatment of FVIII inhibitor patients.
