Abstract: A computer system and a computer-implemented method are provided for interactively displaying a three-dimensional rendering of a structure having a lumen and for indicating regions of abnormal wall structure. A three-dimensional volume of data is formed from a series of two-dimensional images representing at least one physical property associated with the three-dimensional structure. An isosurface of a selected region of interest is created by a computer from the volume of data based on a selected value or values of a physical property representing the selected region of interest. A wireframe model of the isosurface is generated by the computer wherein the wireframe model includes a plurality of vertices. The vertices are then grouped into populations of contiguous vertices having a characteristic indicating abnormal wall structure by the computer. The wireframe model is then rendered by the computer in an interactive three-dimensional display to indicate the populations of abnormal wall structure.

Abstract: Steering, tensioning and driving a revolving metallic casting belt in continuous casting machines wherein the belt travels along a generally straight casting plane  P . Two two-axis robotic mechanisms are positioned at opposite ends of an exit-pulley drum, each including a "floating" housing carrying a bearing rotatably supporting a journal at the respective drum end. A drive connected to one of the journals rotates the drum for revolving the belt. The robotic mechanisms adjustably position opposite ends of a rotating drum in  X--X  plane parallel with plane  P  for tensioning the belt and in  Y--Y  plane perpendicular to plane  P  for steering the revolving belt. These robotic mechanisms are controlled to operate in any of several modes: (1) "Walking-tilt" steering keeps the belt much closer to an exiting product than prior art, the belt being flatter and in better contact with the product for improving casting speed and quality. Mode (2) provides a "virtual squaring shaft" causing a drum to simulate being constrained by a rigid mechanical squaring shaft for synchronizing downstream movements of both drum ends for regularizing tension fully across a "cylindrical" casting belt. In modes (3), (4) and (5) the rigidity of the virtual squaring shaft may be "softened," or re-zeroed or eliminated, to accommodate small "frustro-conical" errors in belt manufacture. Moreover, even a small error in built-in length dimensions of a belt carriage may effectively be canceled by mode adjustments which effectively "twist" the virtual squaring shaft.

Abstract: The idea of this invention is to use at least two modems on the network management system side. At least one of these modems is used only for connections initialized by the network management system. At least one other modem is used only for connections initialized by any or a group of network elements controlled by the network management system. The number of modems used for connections initiated by the management system may be more than one, thus enabling the network management system to initiate simultaneous connections to more than one network element. Likewise, more than one modem can be assigned for connections initiated by the network elements.

Abstract: The invention provides a linear concatamer of at least two non-identical DNA sequences which, by virtue of third base redundancy of the genetic code of the codons, each encode the same polypeptide of at least 30 amino acids; wherein the concatamer comprises or consists of a nucleic acid sequence which codes for an oligomer of said polypeptides in a continuous reading frame. A single invariant cysteine codon may be added to one DNA sequence to encode a polypeptide derivative with a unique unpaired cysteine. The concatamer may be fused to one or more sequences encoding one or more antigens. The DNA sequences in the concatamer may encode the compliment C3 fragment C3d or an analogue thereof. The invention also provides an expression vector comprising the concatamer nucleic acid sequence and regulatory or other sequences for expression of any oligomeric polypeptide encoded thereby, as well as a host cell comprising the expression vector. The invention can also provide a method of including a immune response to an antigen in the human or animal by administering a concatamer or administering a vector. Thus the invention can provide a pharmaceutical composition in the form of a DNA vaccine.

Abstract: A wiper for use in a container for pasty products, such as mascara, lip gloss, eyeshadow, dental or oral care products, ointments, or the like, which wiper allows for the wiping of excess product from an applicator as the applicator is withdrawn from a container, but does not wipe the applicator as it is placed into the container. The wiper of the present invention comprises two or more flaps capable of occupying a first scraping position, when the applicator is withdrawn from the container, and a second non-scraping position, when the applicator is returned to the container. The non-scraping position of the flaps allows the applicator to be placed into the container without being wiped. This characteristic reduces the build-up of product within the neck of the container, thus providing a cleaner, aesthetically pleasing package for the consumer to use.

Abstract: Nutritional or therapeutic compositions are provided for increasing ketone body levels in the blood of mammals by providing a source of ketone bodies in the form of linear or cyclic oligomers and/or derivatives of 3-hydroxyacids. The 3-hydroxyacid can be in the form of a linear oligomer of 3-hydroxyacids other than linear homo-oligomers of 3-hydroxybutyric acid if administered in combination with acetoacetate, cyclic oligomers of 3-hydroxyacids, esters of the linear or cyclic oligomers, esters of 3-hydroxyacids other than 3-hydroxybutyric acid, and combinations thereof. An oligomer generally refers to a polymer of three or more hydroxyacids. Preferred 3-hydroxyacids include 3-hydroxybutyrate, 3-hydroxyvalerate, 3-hydroxyhexanoate, and 3-hydroxyheptanoate. Oligomers of odd-carbon number 3-hydroxyacids such as 3-hydroxyvalerate have advantages since they have a higher energy content than oligomers of 3-hydroxyacids having an even-number of carbons. The cyclic oligomers have advantageous properties since they result in a sustained, and/or controlled, ketone blood level over a period of hours. The compositions can be administered orally, for example, as a nutritional or dietary supplement, or intravenously. Increasing blood ketone levels is useful for seizure control, metabolic disease control, reduction of protein catabolism, appetite suppression, parenteral nutrition, increasing cardiac efficiency, treatment of diabetes and insulin resistant states, and treatment of effects of neurodegenerative disorders and epilepsy.
