Patent EP-1127556-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LEVINSON MELVIN E
IPC: A61F2/01
Filed: 2000-08-17
Abstract: The filter device, which captures embolic material, runs on a guide wire. The guide wire
(12), in one embodiment, has a proximal end, a distal end (14) and a stop (16) near its distal end.
The filter device includes an expandable frame (20) of frame struts (21, 23, 25, 27) having a
closed, radially compact form (FIG. 4A) and an open, radially expanded form (FIG. 1). The
frame, in the radially expanded form, has frame struts forming a pair of facing frustoconical
frame structures (6, 28). Filter material (32) is attached to one of the pair of frustoconical frame
structures (6). In one embodiment, the guide wire extends through the expandable frame and the
expandable frame is freely movable over the guide wire (likewise, the guide wire is freely
movable within the frame), both rotatably and longitudinally, except distally beyond the stop
near the distal end of the guide wire. In another embodiment, the vascular filter also operates as
an embolic material retrieval device (FIGS. 21, 22). This filter device includes a discontinuous
loop of memory sheath material (224) having an open loop shape (232, 252) when the loop is not
radially restrained in a catheter sheath (208). When the loop is disposed beyond the distal end
(210) of the catheter sheath (208), the loop is deployed and forms a discontinuous loop due to
the memory characteristic of the loop material. The filter-retrieval device includes a lead line
(226) having a proximal end (228) attached to the guide wire and a distal end attached to the
discontinuous loop. A substantially conical filter (220) adapted to capture embolic material has
an open conical end attached to the discontinuous loop and a conical end point (300) attached to
the guide wire. When the loop is disposed outboard of the catheter sheath, the filter unfurls and
forms a conical filter trap for embolic material. The filter collapses within the sheath when
pulled therein and traps embolic material therein.

Abstract: This toroidal CVT detects a deviation of the spool valve (10)
from its neutral position and performs a feedback control to
prevent the transmission ratio from converging on other
than the target ratio or the speed change
sequence from being started again. Further, the toroidal CVT
performs control so that as the transmission ratio
approaches its target, the
transmission speed decreases in order to prevent an
overshoot of the speed change control. When the
difference between the actual transmission ratio and the
target is smaller than a specified
value, the output signals to the solenoid valves (13a,13b)
are controlled so that the difference
between the pilot pressures acting on the ends of the
spool valves (10) is proportional to the difference
between the actual and target
transmission ratios. When said difference
exceeds the specified value, the target
transmission speed is set according to the difference
and the output signals to the solenoid valves (13a,13b)
are controlled so that the difference between
the pilot pressures acting on the ends of the spools (11)
is proportional to the difference between the actual
transmission speed and the target transmission speed.

Abstract: In a communication system decoder (10) branch metrics are represented using
linear distance. An illustrative embodiment for decoding a sequence of received symbols
of a QPSK or QAM constellation includes a branch metric calculation unit (12) an add-compare-select
unit (14) and a traceback unit (16). The branch metric unit computes branch
metrics associated with transitions between states of a multi-stage trellis representation
of a state machine. In accordance with the invention, each of the branch metrics
correspond to a linear distance between a given one of the received symbols and its
nearest codeword in a given stage of the trellis. The add-compare-select unit utilizes the
branch metrics of a current stage, along with a previously-generated path metric, for
comparison purposes in determining a survivor path and corresponding updated path
metric for a current stage of the multi-stage trellis. The traceback unit utilizes the
updated path metric to generate a corresponding decoded output. Advantageously, the
add-compare-select unit of the decoder is configured such that it achieves a level of
performance using the linear distance branch metrics which is equivalent to that achieved
using squared distance branch metrics, while also substantially reducing the decoder
complexity through the elimination of multiplication operations.

Abstract: Fas ligand (CD95L) induces apoptosis in activated T cells through the process of Activation Induced Cell Death (AICD). Gelatin nanoparticles are virus sized gelatin-protein-DNA complexes which can encapsulate multiple DNA vectors and proteins, and which are thought to act by increasing in vivo transfection of antigen presenting cells. By injecting mice with gelatin nanoparticles containing a murine Fas ligand (CD95L) DNA vector and a β-galactosidase (LacZ) model antigen vector, the T cell response specific for β-gal was ablated without effecting the response to a secondary antigen. In effect, this 'tolerization' injection induceS antigen specific peripheral tolerance in study mice, and is applicable to the treatment of autoimmune diseases when self-antigens such as Myelin Basic Protein are co-delivered with the Fas ligand.

Abstract: Nucleic acids can be made available for amplification or other treatment after admixture of a sample with specific weakly basic polymers to form a precipitate with the nucleic acids at acidic pH. After removing non-precipitated materials, the pH is then made basic, thereby releasing the nucleic acids from the polymer. This method for preparing specimen samples is simple and quite rapid, and the released nucleic acids can be further treated in hybridization assays or amplification procedures. No surfactant or other cell lysing reagents are employed. The weakly basic polymers are water-soluble and cationic at acidic pH, but neutral in charge at basic pH.
