Title: Free-space optical systems for wavelength switching and spectral monitoring applications
Inventor: WILDE JEFFREY P
IPC: H04J14/02
Filed: 2002-09-19
Granted: 2010-08-10
Abstract: This invention provides a novel method and apparatus which use a wavelength-dispersing means such as a diffraction grating (220) to spatially separate a multi-wavelength optical signal along with a reference signal by wavelength into multiple spectral channels and a reference spectral component in a spectral array with a predetermined relative alignment. By aligning the reference spectral component at a predetermined location, the spectral channels simultaneously impinge onto designated locations, e.g., on an array of beam-receiving elements positioned in accordance with the spectral array. The reference spectral component may be further maintained at the predetermined location by way of servo-control (260), thereby ensuring that the spectral channels stay aligned at the designated locations. The present invention can be used to construct a new line of servo-based optical systems, including spectral power monitors and optical multiplexers/demultiplexers, for WDM optical networking applications.

Title: New therapeutic use of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide riboside (acadesine)
Inventor: GIL SANTANO JUAN
IPC: C07H19/052
Filed: 2003-03-20
Granted: 2009-12-22
Abstract: Acadesine (also known as AICA riboside or AICAR) does not inhibit apoptosi s in lymphocytes, as it might be expected, but it induces apoptosis in B cells from patients with B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders such as B-cell chron ic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL), and Waldenstrom syndrome (WS). T cells are not affected. This makes acadesine and its bioprecursors (eg. its mono-, di- and tri-5'--phosphates) useful as therapeutic agents for B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders in humans. The surprising feature that T cells are virtually not affected means that the side effect (immunosuppression) is minor, what represents a therapeutical advantage of acadesine over cladribine, fludarabine and other nucleosides known in the art.
