Title: Enhanced transport using membrane disruptive agents
Inventor: HOFFMAN ALLAN S
IPC: A61K41/00
Filed: 1999-01-05
Granted: 2003-03-20
Abstract: Compositions and methods for transport or release of therapeutic and diagnostic agents or metabolites or other analytes from cells, compartments within cells, or through cell layers or barriers are described. The compositions include a membrane barrier transport enhancing agent and are usually administered in combination with an enhancer and/or exposure to stimuli to effect disruption or altered permeability, transport or release. In a preferred embodiment, the compositions include compounds which disrupt endosomal membranes in response to the low pH in the endosomes but which are relatively inactive toward cell membranes, coupled directly or indirectly to a therapeutic or diagnostic agent. Other disruptive agents can also be used, responsive to stimuli and/or enhancers other than pH, such as light, electrical stimuli, electromagnetic stimuli, ultrasound, temperature, or combinations thereof. The compounds can be coupled by ionic, covalent or H bonds to an agent to be delivered or to a ligand which forms a complex with the agent to be delivered. Agents to be delivered can be therapeutic and/or diagnostic agents. Treatments which enhance delivery such as ultrasound, iontopheresis, and/or electropheresis can also be used with the disrupting agents.

Title: Paging method and apparatus
Inventor: WONG GABRIEL K Y
IPC: H04L7/00
Filed: 1995-06-15
Granted: 1998-03-05
Abstract: A two-way paging system utilizes four local frequencies for transmissions between pager units (22) and a central control station (20). A first local frequency (f1) carries a local clock; a second local frequency (f2) carries communications packets from the central control station to paging units; a third local frequency (f3) carries communication packets from the pager units to the central control station; and a fourth local frequency (f4) carries a status or request signal from the paging units (22) to the central control station (20). Transmissions on the fourth local frequency (f4) are in accordance with a time divided slot allocation among pager units accessing the central control station (20). For a two-way paging system having a plurality of central control stations (420x) servicing a corresponding plurality of cells, a total of eight frequencies are utilized within any one cell. Four of the utilized frequencies are the local frequencies (f1-f4) Äwhich may differ from cell to cellÜ, and four of the utilized frequencies are lower power common frequencies or switching frequencies (C1-C4) which are used to switch or hand-off a pager unit (422) traveling from one cell to another. <IMAGE>

Title: Drill string element
Inventor: LARSSON KENNETH LARS
IPC: E21B17/042
Filed: 1989-04-17
Granted: 1991-09-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to a drill string element adapted to be coupled to other similar drill string elements by thread connections (19) thus forming a drill string for top hammer drilling. Each drill string element includes at least one rod (15;15 min ;15 sec ) for transferring impact energy to a drill bit (11) provided at the lower end of the drill string (10) and a tube assembly (21;21 min ;21 sec ) for transferring rotation to the drill bit (11), said tube assembly surrounding the rod. When handling drill string elements of the above-mentioned type it is extremely important that this handling can take place in a safe way without any risk for accidents during operation working site. Previously known drill string elements of the type in question have the disadvantage that the rod can fall out of the tube assembly in one direction. Also the accessibility to the interior of the drill string element in connection with repairs/service must be considered and the drill string elements must stay intact during operation, especially when they are unscrewed from each other. The invention is characterized by that the tube assembly (21;21 min ;21 sec ) in the area of the two ends of the rod (15;15 min ;15 sec ) is provided with an internal diameter reducing (27;27 min ,27 sec ;27'''), and that the rod (15;15 min ;15 sec ) is provided with cooperating radial projections (28;28 min ) or shoulder means (28 sec ). Also the tube assembly (21;21 min ;21 sec ) includes at least two tubular members (18;18 min ;18 sec ) that are coupled to each other by a thread connection that is harder to unscrew than the thread connection (19) for coupling together the drill string elements.

Title: Short pulse mid-infrared parametric generator for surgery
Inventor: TELFAIR WILLIAM B
IPC: A61F9/013
Filed: 1998-11-28
Granted: 2004-09-23
Abstract: A laser parametric generator for surgical applications is disclosed which utilizes short-pulse, mid-infrared radiation. The mid-infrared radiation may be produced by a pump laser source (20), such as a neodymium-doped laser, which is parametrically downconverted in a suitable nonlinear crystal (15) to the desired mid-infrared range. The short pulses reduce unwanted thermal effects and changes in adjacent to potentially submicron levels. The parametrically converted radiation source preferably produces pulse durations shorter than 25 ns at or near 3.0  mu m but preferably close to the water absorption maximum associated with the tissue. The down-conversion to the desired mid-infrared wavelength is preferably produced by a nonlinear crystal (15) such as KTP or its isomorphs. In one embodiment, a non-critically phased-matched crystal is utilized to shift the wavelength from a near-infrared laser source emitting at or around 880 to 900 nm to the desired 2.9 to 3.0  mu m wavelength range. A fiber, fiber bundle or another waveguide means utilized to separate the pump laser from the optical parametric oscillation (OPO) cavity is also included as part of the invention.

Title: A process and a device for the continuous nondestructive control of rails on a railway line by ultrasonics
Inventor: JAEGGI JEAN-PIERRE
IPC: G01N29/11
Filed: 1993-12-21
Granted: 1995-11-16
Abstract: The method for continuous non-destructive ultrasonic testing of railway rails is noteworthy in that the emission of ultrasound takes place successively at different points along the rail which are separated by a measured value. Determination is then carried out, for each echo, of the acoustic distance between the point of emission and the point of reflection of the ultrasonic beam, then bidirectional mapping of the echoes is established by correlation. Finally, this mapping of the echoes is compared with a mask having a window whose shape, orientation and dimensions are determined by the characteristics of the rail to be measured and the type of defect to be detected, only those echoes appearing within this window being then taken into consideration.

Title: Method of using zot or zonulin to inhibit lymphocyte proliferation in an antigen-specific manner
Inventor: FASANO ALESSIO
IPC: A61K38/16
Filed: 1999-09-09
Granted: 2002-11-07
Abstract: Methods for using Zot or zonulin as an antigen specific inhibitor of APC activity and lymphocyte proliferation, being primarily useful in the field of immunoregulation and immunotherapy are described. Specifically, Zot and zonulin inhibit antigen presenting cell-mediated antigen-specific lymphocyte proliferation in a dose dependent manner. This effect is associated with the presence of a macrophage surface receptor to which Zot binds in a specific and saturable way. This down-regulation of the immune response is, at least in part, associated with a decreased uptake of antigen.
