Title: Immune modulation with death receptor-induced apoptosis
Inventor: SHIRWAN HAVAL
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2001-01-24
Granted: 2006-05-11
Abstract: This invention provides chimeric proteins comprising an apoptosis-inducing molecule fused to a member of a binding pair that is capable of binding to a selected cell that expresses a death receptor. When the selected cell is exposed in vivo or ex vivo to the chimeric protein, the selected cell undergoes apoptosis. The preferred embodiment is FasL protein fused to streptavidin. The methods of using the chimeric proteins are especially beneficial in causing activated lymphocytes to undergo apoptosis, thus modulating the immune response. Patients with conditions such as asthma or allergy, or patients undergoing transplantation with allogeneic or xenogeneic tissue are examples of patients who benefit from the methods of this invention.

Title: Composite products from lignocellulosic materials
Inventor: SHEN KUO CHENG
IPC: B27N3/04
Filed: 1985-10-04
Granted: 1989-07-06
Abstract: A low cost process for converting lignocellulosic materials into reconstituted composite products, such as building boards, furniture boards, reconstituted lumber and moulded articles, with no addition of resin binders. The hemicellulose portion of lignocellulosic materials is decomposed and hydrolyzed by high pressure steam to generate free sugars, furfural and other decomposition products, which are chemically transformed by the application of heat and pressure into a polymeric substance, which acts as a thermoset adhesive binder, providing both a bonding and bulking effect. The reconstituted composite products thus produced possess good strength property and superb dimensional stability.

Patent AU-703675-B2 (AU)
Title: Choke arrangement and a method for operating said choke arrangement
Inventor: FEISTEL NORBERT
IPC: F16J15/16
Filed: 1996-06-04
Granted: 1999-04-01
Abstract: The choke arrangement comprises an elastic choke ring which consists of a single piece with a gap formed by a parting joint. The choke arrangement: further comprises a support ring which is arranged directly adjacent to the choke ring in the axial direction, with the support ring serving, among other things to cover over the gap of the choke ring. An advantage of the choke arrangement with an elastically resilient choke ring is to be seen wherein the choke ring reacts to dynamic pressure changes and thereupon changes its sealing properties. A peak in pressure produces an increased difference in pressure at the choke arrangement, whereby the elastic choke ring is pressed against the sliding surface of a piston rod and effects an increased sealing action, so that the pressure peak cannot propagate to a sealing ring placed after the choke arrangement. The choke arrangement thus behaves analogously to a frequency selective filter known from electrical engineering in that high-frequency pressure changes are sealed off, whereas static or slowly varying pressure components are not sealed off.

Title: A tampon and a method for its manufacture
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 1990-05-10
Granted: 1993-01-28
Abstract: A tampon comprises a compacted tampon blank, which in turn is formed by winding a liquid-permeable strip and a string of absorbent material placed thereon to a roll and inserting strip-parts which project from the sides of the string, inwardly of the innermost turn or winding of the roll. In the process of manufacturing the tampon, the strip carrying the string can be wound around a first, tubular mandrel, and one strip-part can be inserted into the mandrel through one open mandrel-end located adjacent the inner edge of the strip-part. A second tubular mandrel is then inserted through the open end of the first mandrel and the first mandrel then withdrawn. With the second mandrel surrounded by the first, inserted strip-part and located with an open end adjacent the inner edge of the other strip-part, the other strip-part is inserted into the second mandrel, which is then withdrawn from the thus formed tampon blank, which is thereafter compacted or compressed.

Title: Multiple data stream searching method and apparatus
Inventor: TSUKAGOSHI IKUO
IPC: H04N5/445
Filed: 1996-07-17
Granted: 1999-01-07
Abstract: Multiple data stream searching is achieved by encoding a video broadcast into multiple types of data streams including video, audio and subtitle data. Addresses are generated for each of the data streams pointing to a position of the data stream to be stored on a record medium. These addresses are stored in areas of the record medium reserved by type of data stream Such that location of any event represented by data in a data stream can be achieved by locating the data streams at the same type as that of the data to be located. A computer-readable memory directs a computer to store these addresses and to decode data streams at these addresses which correspond to the type of data stream to be searched. The data streams which are of the type to be searched are decoded and the event to be searched is found in these decoded data streams. <IMAGE>

Title: A method for gravel packing a well
IPC: E21B43/04
Filed: 1990-08-14
Granted: 1993-05-06
Abstract: A method for gravel packing a well penetrating an unconsolidated or poorly consolidated subterranean oil or gas reservoir. The well can employ a borehole casing with perforation tunnels for fluid communication between the borehole casing and a substantial portion of the reservoir. A sand screen is located inside the well casing and in juxtaposition with the perforation tunnels forming an annulus between the borehole casing and the sand screen. One or more conduits are positioned in juxtaposition with the sand screen with openings to provide fluid communication between the conduit and a substantial portion of the annulus between the borehole casing and the sand screen. A slurry of gravel is injected down through the annulus between the borehole casing and the sand screen until the annulus being packed thereby plugging the annulus between the casing and the sand screen, the slurry of gravel will continue to flow down the conduit and into the annulus below the gravel bridge thereby completely packing the annulus between the sand screen and the borehole casing. The oil or gas in the reservoir is then produced through the gravel packed borehole casing and the sand screen. If desired, the slurry of gravel may be injected down the well and up the conduit and annulus to accomplish complete packing. The method is also applicable to placing gravel packs in an open-hole wellbore adjacent to a substantial portion of an unconsolidated or poorly consolidated subterranean oil or gas reservoir.
