Abstract: A pressure tight device which compensates for relative movement between two pipes comprises a tubular, single or multilayer bellows with a connector (16,17) at both ends for connecting to the pipes. The material layer (13) for forming the bellows (12) has a coating (25) on the inner side facing the flowing medium (19). During bellows manufacture the coating (25) is applied to a carrier (11) which is then formed into the bellows (12). Preferably the coating(25) can be a plastic, preferably polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) or a metal, especially chrome or nickel. The carrier (11) is formed into a tube before applying the coating. Subsequent forming of this the tube into a bellows can be by applying pneumatic or hydraulic pressure from the inside or by applying external mechanical pressure in a radial and/or axial direction using ring-shaped formers. Pressure in the axial direction is effected by axial movement of these ring formers. After forming the bellows (12) the ends are formed into flanges (23) for connection to the pipe connectors (16,17). The coating (25), which may be applied by a chemical, electrolytic or spray and fusion process, acts as a sealer between the bellows (12) and each connector (16,17).

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à des vaccins cellulaires et à des procédés d'utilisation de tels vaccins en immunothérapie anticancéreuse, notamment pour traiter des sujets humains. Ces vaccins contiennent des lymphocytes stimulés qui sont allogéniques vis à vis du patient, ainsi qu'une source d'antigène associé à la tumeur. Il est possible de stimuler les lymphocytes allogéniques en les combinant ou en les cultivant conjointement à des leucocytes prélevés chez le sujet à traiter ou chez un donneur tiers. L'antigène tumoral peut se présenter sous la forme de cellules tumorales, de lignées cellulaires tumorales ou d'extraits de tumeurs prélevés chez le patient. On combine les lymphocytes stimulés et l'antigène tumoral et on les administre au niveau d'un site distant de la tumeur primaire, de façon à générer une première réaction immunitaire anti-tumorale cellulaire systémique ou à réactiver une telle réaction. Cette approche permet de vaincre la nature réfractaire du système immunitaire vis à vis d'une stimulation par des antigènes tumoraux, et donc de générer une réaction chez l'hôte et d'améliorer potentiellement les résultats cliniques.

Inventor: BURROWAY GARY LEE
IPC: C08F2/26
Filed: 1998-05-27
Abstract: This invention is based upon the discovery that
the characteristics of toner resins made by emulsion
polymerization can be improved by utilizing diacid
cycloaliphatic emulsifiers in the synthesis thereof.
Toner resins which are made utilizing such diacid
cycloaliphatic emulsifiers do not exhibit significant
electrical charge effects from the residual level of
soap in the resin compared to resins made using
standard soaps; such as, rosin acid soaps and fatty
acid soaps. They also generally contain a lower level
of ash since salts do not need to be used in their
coagulation. As a result of the low level of ash, the
toner resin made from the diacid soap exhibits
excellent resistance to moisture sensitivity and
adsorption. This feature gives the toners made from
these resins better electrical charge stability
compared to resins made from conventional soaps since
adsorbed moisture is known to neutralize electrical
charges. Toners made from these resins also exhibit
greatly improved adhesion to paper. This invention
more specifically discloses a process for preparing a
polymer which is particularly useful as a toner resin,
which comprises (1) emulsion copolymerizing a vinyl
aromatic monomer and a second monomer selected from
the group consisting of conjugated diene monomers and
an acrylate monomer selected from the group consisting
of alkyl acrylate monomers and methacrylate monomers
in the presence of a diacid cycloaliphatic emulsifier
to produce the polymer and (2) recovering the polymer
from the aqueous emulsion.

Abstract: An audible waveform system is provided that senses a parameter relating
to the ventilation of a patient, e.g. the pressure of breathing gas in a patient
breathing circuit (14). As changes occur in that parameter, the system produces
short bursts of sound of a predetermined frequency as the parameter attains
certain incremental values of change. The frequency of each sound burst is
varied according to the magnitude of the parameter sensed and it is preferable
that the frequency of each sound burst corresponds to the magnitude of the
parameter sensed (i.e. a given value of the parameter will always trigger the
same frequency sound burst). Thus the frequency of the sound bursts increases
and decreases as the parameter increases or decreases, respectively. In the
preferred embodiment, the system provides an audible waveform based on the
pressure in a patient's airway so that the clinician can receive information
relating to that waveform conveniently and without taking attention away from
other monitors and/or alarms.

Abstract: A method of alerting a telemarketing agent of a
promotion opportunity in response to activity of a potential
customer browsing a public server (46,47) and an apparatus
for monitoring the customer activity and alerting the
telemarketing agent are described. The apparatus includes a
telemarketing analysis server (38), computer telephony
hardware (44) and a server (40) for controlling the computer
telephony hardware. The apparatus further includes software
on the public server for collecting data relating to the
activity of potential customers browsing the public server.
The data is sent to the telemarketing analysis server which
analyzes it to determine when a potential customer's activity
satisfies a predefined criteria. If a predefined criteria is
satisfied, an alert is forwarded to a telemarketing agent.
The telemarketing agent may approach the potential customer
in order to promote a sale. The approach to the customer may
be a text message that requests whether the user would like
assistance or a direct telephone call, depending on the
circumstances and knowledge about the customer. The customer
may also be sent a message before the telemarketing agent is
alerted. This permits the agent to spend all of his time
fielding calls. The advantage is the ability to contact
potential customers at a time when they are aware of a
product or service and interested enough to access a public
server relating to the product or service. A further
advantage is that customer availability is assured and the
public server is enabled to provide interactive personal
contact.
