Title: Transmucosal delivery of macromolecular drugs
Inventor: HEIBER SONIA J
IPC: A61K9/70
Filed: 1994-02-22
Abstract: A method and system for mucosally administering a macromolecular drug to mucosa of the oral cavity is shown. The system comprises an inner drug/enhancer/polymer layer having one surface adapted to contact and adhere to the mucosal tissue of the oral cavity and an opposing surface in contact with and adhering to an overlying inert layer. The inner layer contains from about two to sixty percent by weight of a bile salt enhancer, five to sixty five percent by weight of a hydrophilic polymer which is water soluble or swellable and an effective amount of a macromolecular drug having a molecular weight of at least 500 daltons. Polysaccharides, polypeptides and proteins are preferred forms of macromolecular drugs. The bile salt enhancer facilitates the delivery of macromolecules such as low molecular weight heparin and calcitonin. The polymer serves as a plasticizer to prevent the crystallization and/or aggregation of such macromolecular drugs. Hydroxypropyl cellulose is a particularly suitable polymer.

Title: Electrosurgical system
Inventor: FLEMING ALISTAIR IAN
IPC: A61B18/12
Filed: 2002-06-27
Granted: 2005-09-21
Abstract: An electrosurgical system comprises a generator and an instrument including a first electrode, a second electrode, and an insulating spacer separating the first and second electrodes. The generator repeatedly measures a characteristic of the radio frequency output such as the impedance between the first and second electrodes. The generator analyses the impedance measurements, and interrupts the radio frequency signal when the rate of change of the impedance is such as to indicate the onset of a "flare-out". In this way, the power is reduced before the flare-out leads to permanent damage or failure of the instrument. <IMAGE>

Title: Forming laminated glass containers from a composite encapsulated gob of molten glass
Inventor: BARKHAU MARVIN L
IPC: C03B7/088
Filed: 1988-01-29
Granted: 1991-10-16
Abstract: A glass bottle forming system is described in which a main glass melter is connected to a forehearth with a fairly conventional feeder provided at the delivery end of the forehearth. The feeder opening in the bottom of the forehearth is closed by a first orifice member through which a molten core glass will flow. Beneath the first orifice there is positioned a second orifice member that has an orifice that is slightly larger than the orifice in the first orifice member. A small melter contains a glass of essentially the same composition as that in the main melter, but with a coefficient of expansion slightly less than that of the core glass. This lower expansion glass is fed to the second orifice member so that it can flow out of the orifice with the core glass in surrounding relationship with respect thereto. The skin glass melter is connected to the second orifice member by a gravity feed system in which the connection is thermally controlled so that the viscosity of the two glasses are maintained essentially the same. Two embodiments of the skin melter and the second orifice are disclosed. In one embodiment the second orifice is vertically adjustable so as to vary the volume of skin glass flow relative to the core glass flow. The second embodiment has the second orifice supporting an annular bushing that is vertically adjustable and it cooperates with the bottom of the upper orifice member to regulate the flow of glass into surrounding relationship to the core glass coming through the first orifice member.

Title: A fault-tolerant computer system
Inventor: WILLIAMS EMRYS JOHN
IPC: G06F13/00
Filed: 1992-07-17
Granted: 1996-05-01
Abstract: A fault-tolerant computer architecture is described wherein the effect of hardware faults is diminished. The architecture employs a main data bus having a plurality of interface slots for interconnecting conventional computer sub-systems. The number and type of sub-systems may vary considerably, however, a central processor sub-system which encompasses the inventive elements of the invention is always included. The central processor sub-system employs a plurality of central processing modules operating in parallel in a substantially synchronized manner. One of the central processing modules operates as a master central processing module, and is the only module capable of reading data from and writing data to the main data bus. The master central processing module is initially chosen arbitrarily from among the central processing modules. Each central processing module contains a means by which the module can compare data on the main data bus with data on a secondary bus within each module in order to determine if there is an inconsistency indicating a hardware fault. If such an inconsistency is detected, each module generates state outputs which reflect the probability that a particular module is the source of the fault. A synchronization bus which is separate from the main data bus interconnects the central processing modules and transmits the state outputs from each module to every other central processing module.

IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 1998-03-25
Granted: 2003-02-19
Abstract: The invention concerns in-line monitoring of a communication link between two stations in a frame-based communication network wherein the said two stations employ a compression algorithm for the transmission of frames and a corresponding decompression algorithm for the reception and decompression of the frames, the said algorithms requiring the maintenance at a transmitting station of a compression history in terms of the number of frames transmitted since a datum point and the maintenance of a corresponding compression history at a receiving station in terms of the number of frames received, the frames each including an identification of the compression sequence so that the receiving station can detect mismatch between the compression sequence and the receiving sequence. The monitoring method comprises detecting frames transmitted from one of the stations to the other, detecting whether frames are compressed, decompressing compressed frames and maintaining a compression history corresponding to that maintained by the receiving station.

Title: A method and a mechanism for synchronised updating of interoperating software
Inventor: DONOHUE SEAMUS BRENDAN
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 1998-04-24
Granted: 2003-05-14
Abstract: Provided is a method and mechanism for automating updating of computer programs. Conventionally, computer programs have been distributed on a recording medium for users to install on their computer systems. Each time fixes, additions and new versions for the programs were developed, a new CD or diskette was required to be delivered to users to enable them to install the update. More recently some software has been downloadable across a network, but the effort for users obtaining and installing updates and the effort for software vendors to distribute updates remains undesirable. The invention provides an updater agent which is associated with a computer program and which accesses relevant network locations and automatically downloads and installs any available updates to its associated program if those updates satisfy predefined update criteria of the updater agent. The updater agents are able to communicate with each other and so a first updater agent can request updates to programs which are prerequisites to its associated program.
