Title: Apparatus and method of shielding bone marrow during chemotherapy
Inventor: KIM SINIL
IPC: A61F5/34
Filed: 1999-01-28
Abstract: The invention provides a variety of bone marrow-shielding tourniquets and methods for using them to perform bone marrow-shielded chemotherapy with or without general anesthesia and without the need to remove a patient's bone marrow for protection during the procedure. In the invention method, pressure is applied to at least one body part of the patient that contains myelopoietic bone marrow to temporarily occlude arterial flow to the bone marrow while blood circulation through the remainder of the body is maintained. Then an effective amount of at least one myelosuppressive chemotherapeutic agent is administered to the blood circulation in the remainder of the patient while the arterial flow through the at least one body part is occluded and so that the myelosuppressive effect of the agent is substantially dissipated within the maximum safe period for the occlusion of the arterial flow, or about three hours. The pressure is removed to restore blood circulation to the bone marrow when the effect has substantially dissipated and within the maximum safe period. By the invention method, a tumor located in the remainder of the body is treated by the at least one chemotherapeutic agent without destruction of a substantial portion of the bone marrow in the occluded body part. The bone marrow shiedling tourniquets for use in the invention chemotherapeutic method are designed to substantially cover at least the shoulder or hip area of a human so as to occlude arterial flow therein and includes inflatable bladders that apply the requisite pressure when the tourniquet is applied to the wearer. The shoulder tourniquet optionally is designed to occlude arterial flow into the proximal scapula as well as into the shoulder area. Bilateral tourniquets are also provided for simultaneous occlusion of bilateral shoulders and, optionally bilateral scapulae.

IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 1999-02-25
Abstract: A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for invoking barring features within a satellite network when calls to a subscriber within the satellite network are optimized. When a call is optimized for the satellite subscriber, the actual geographic location of the satellite subscriber is sent to the HLR and the new (optimal) MSC/VLR. This location can be sent as an MSC  address, or other form. Therefore, when a barring feature is associated with the call, this MSC address is checked by the serving MSC or the HLR (in the case of barring of incoming calls when roaming outside of the home Public Land Mobile Network country). If the satellite subscriber's actual geographic location is within the barred area, the barring feature is invoked. Otherwise, the barring feature is not invoked.

Title: Roof panel system for improved wind uplift resistance
Inventor: BOSS BRUCE
IPC: E04D3/36
Filed: 2001-02-06
Abstract: A system for roofing a substructure his a plurality of roof panels, a plurality of support members and a plurality of cap members. The roof panels each have a horizontal channel section bounded on a pair of opposing side edges by side flanges, with an upper end of each side flange bent to provide a groove opening outwardly laterally from the panel. The support members each have a pair of oppositely extending base flanges and a pair of oppositely extending top flanges, the base flanges and top flanges being positioned along a vertical web member. The top flanges are adapted to be received in the groove of one of a pair of adjacent roof panels and one of the base flanges of each support member is adapted to fasten the support member to the substructure. The cap members have side walls to retain the top flanges in the grooves without fastening the roof panel to the support member, thereby allowing some relative movement upon deflection of the roof panel. The length of the support members allows a single support member to be fastened to each of a pair of spaced-apart substructural members, such as purlins.

Filed: 2002-01-16
Abstract: A fuel injector assembly is provided which includes a control valve actuated by a piezoelectric actuator acting through a hydraulic amplifier to facilitate pressurization of fluid fuel within the fuel injector assembly for dispersing the fuel into a combustion chamber. The piezoelectric actuator is excited by a variable voltage source to control the degree of displacement of the hydraulic amplifier to control the degree of fluid fuel dispersement by controlling the degree of displacement of the control valve. The configuration of the control valve may be such as to provide multi-step fluid fuel dispersing thereby providing a low fuel injection pressure and rate followed by a higher fuel injection pressure and rate. Multi-step fluid fuel dispersing may also be accomplished by varying the level of excitation voltage to the piezoelectric actuator. A pressure check valve is provided to prime the hydraulic amplifier cavity, to expel trapped air therefrom, to compensate for fuel leakages from the cavity and to circulate fuel through the cavity. An internal combustion engine including such a fuel injector assembly is also provided.

Abstract: A waterlift silencer and method for reducing the acoustic energy of a fluid mixture of engine exhaust gas and a liquid coolant and limiting back pressur e exerted by the silencer on an engine, particularly as applied to engines located below the waterline of a marine vessel. The silencer 100A-H has two or more mixture-expelling conduits (e.g. 401 or 402) through which the fluid mixture is dynamically lifted above the silencer to a point above the waterline. The first tube typically has a diameter that is equal to or small er than the diameter of the second tube, and has an opening in its bottom porti on that is further from the bottom of the holding chamber than is an opening in  the bottom portion of the second tube. When the engine is started, the pressure in the holding chamber pushes the free water level of the fluid mixture down to the opening in the first tube, which may thus dynamically li ft the fluid mixture out of the chamber. As the engine speed increases, the fre e water level reaches the opening in the second tube, so that the fluid mixtur e is carried out through both tubes. The first tube may be located within the second tube.
