Abstract: The present invention provides methods, compositions and kits for discriminating between COX-1 and COX-2 activity. In particular, the prevent invention provides for the detection and/or measurement of COX-2 activity in subjects, samples thereof, and in laboratory tests. The present invention discloses that 2-arachidonylglycerol is a COX-2 selective substrate which is metabolized by COX-2 to prostaglandin glycerol esters (PG-Gs) and that the diversity of PG-Gs parallels that of arachidonic acid derived metabolites of COX. The present invention also provides certain novel COX-2 selective metabolites including prostaglandin I2-glycerol ester (PGI2-G) and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1alpha-glycerol ester. Methods and kits are described for detecting COX-2 activity comprising detecting PG-Gs (including the novel PG-Gs disclosed herein). Uses for these methods and kits include the detection and monitoring of inflammation and tumors or cancer. Additional uses include the monitoring of test agents in assays to screen for COX-2 specific inhibitors and other laboratory uses.

Abstract: A system and method for providing percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation therapy to a patient. A method in accordance with one embodiment to the invention can include coupling an electrode to the recipient, applying electrical pulses to the probe, and varying a characteristic of the pulses applied to the recipient. For example, the pulses can be automatically varied from a value of no more than about 4 Hz to a value of no less than about 10 Hz and back over a period of greater than 6 seconds. The frequency variation can be repeated for a number of periods during the course of a session, or the frequency characteristics can change with subsequent periods. Characteristics of the electrical pulses can be changed depending on the duration of the session. The method for varying characteristics of the electrical pulses can be automatically implemented by a computer.

Abstract: The method for manufacturing an in-the-ear shell for a hearing device comprises the steps of automatically generating a first three-dimensional digital model of the surface that describes the shape of an ear canal of a subject as a 2-manifold surface which has zero or nonzero functional boundary, from captured three-dimensional data. There is generated a second three-dimensional digital model of a thickened in-the-ear shell from the addressed first three-dimensional digital model. There is then printed the second three-dimensional digital model as an in-the-ear shell. Quality assurance is performed by comparing at least two of the first three-dimensional digital model, the second three-dimensional digital model and the third three-dimensional digital model which is derived from the printed in-the-ear shell.

Abstract: A plasma tool adapted to emit high quantum energy inert gas atoms in a stream for cutting, liquefying, or evaporating material such as human tissue during surgical procedures. The apparatus comprises a source of inert gas, a plasma cell in communication with the inert gas source for imparting energy to the inert gas atoms and defined in part by a positive electrode and a negative electrode, at least one power supply electrically connected between the positive and negative electrodes, and means for directing the high quantum energy inert gas atoms at a target. The power supply initially provides an ionization voltage between the negative and positive electrodes to initiate a plasma from the inert gas in the plasma cell, and subsequently provides a pulsed voltage curve to sustain the plasma at a predetermined energy level. Methods for using the tool, including for performing surgical procedures, are also described.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of making a laminated, gathered, elastic web. The method includes the steps of feeding a first substrate in a machine direction, feeding a second substrate aligned with the first substrate in the machine direction, and feeding an array of elastomeric strand material between the first and second substrates in such a manner that the elastomeric strand material is stretched in the machine direction and aligned with the first and second substrates. A hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive, such as a styrene-isoprene-styrene based adhesive, is applied to one substrate, and a curable adhesive, such as a polyurethane based adhesive, is applied to the other substrate. Thereafter, the two substrates and the elastomeric strand material are compressed to form a laminate elastic web while maintaining the elastomeric strand material in its stretched state. Machine direction tension is maintained on the laminate until the hot melt adhesive cools and bonds the layers together. Thereafter, the machine direction tension is released to permit the elastic web to contract to form a gathered elastic web.

Abstract: A trailing beam suspension includes a mechanical adjustment mechanism for aligning the axle and wheels of a vehicle. The trailing beam is mounted to the vehicle frame by a pivot bolt passing through a hanger bracket and a conventional bushed connection. Opposing sides of the hanger bracket contain aligned curved apertures that receive the pivot bolt. The pivot bolt passes through pivot arms which are pivotally connected to the sides of the hanger bracket. The pivot arms are connected to a yoke to which an adjustment shaft is attached. Movement of the adjustment shaft moves the yoke fore and aft. The movement of the yoke pivots the pivot arms, thus moving the pivot bolt in a fore-and aft-direction. When the trailing beam has been aligned, the pivot connection is tightened, thus securing the trailing beam, axle, and wheels in the desired alignment.
