Abstract: Grids (30) and collimators, for use with electromagnetic energy emitting devices (61), include at least a metal layer that is formed, for example, by electroplating/electroforming or casting. The metal layer includes top and bottom surfaces, and a plurality of solid integrated walls (32). Each of the solid integrated walls extends from the top to bottom surface and has a plurality of side surfaces. The side surfaces of the solid integrated walls are arranged to define a plurality of openings (31) extending entirely through the layer. At least some of the walls (32) also can include projections extending into the respective openings formed by the walls (32). The projections can be of various shapes and sizes, and are arranged so that a total amount of wall material intersected by a line propagating in a direction along an edge of the grid (30) is substantially the same as another total amount of wall material intersected by another line propagating in another direction substantially parallel to the edge of the grid (30) at any distance from the edge. Methods to fabricate these grids (30) using copper, lead, nickel, gold, any other electroplating/electroforming materials or low melting temperature metals are described.

Title: Bicycle carrier adapted to be used on a vertically orientated vehicle article carrier
Inventor: GONZALEZ CONDE M
IPC: B60R9/06
Filed: 2003-10-03
Abstract: A bicycle carrier adapted to be secured to an article carrier portion of an existing vehicle article carrier so as to carry the bicycle supported thereon in a vertical orientation over a liftgate of a vehicle, and normal to an outer surface of the liftgate. The bicycle carrier includes a wheel supporting member for engaging one wheel of a bicycle when the bicycle is placed in a vertical orientation. A frame supporting assembly engages a portion of the frame to hold the bicycle to the bicycle carrier. The bicycle carrier permits a single individual to load and unload a bicycle from the bicycle carrier without being required to lift the bicycle up onto the roof of a vehicle. Since the bicycle is supported at an angle generally normal to the liftgate, visibility through the rear window of the liftgate is also improved when a bicycle is being supported on the bicycle carrier.

Title: Composition comprising glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronidase inhibitors for the treatment of arthritic joints
Inventor: DHANARAJ SRIDEVI
IPC: A61K31/352
Filed: 2002-06-20
Abstract: A preferred embodiment of the present invention is directed to a composition and method for treating arthritis comprising one or more glycosaminoglycans in combination with one or more hyaluronidase inhibitor. In a more preferred embodiment the present invention is directed to a composition and method for treating arthritis comprising one or more glycosaminoglycans which would include at least hyaluronic acid in combination with one or more hyaluronida se inhibitors selected from the group consisting of heparan sulphate, dextran sulphate and xylose sulphate. In still a more preferred embodiment the prese nt invention relates to a composition and method for treating arthritis comprising hyaluronic acid co-encapsulated with a hyaluronidase inhibitor in liposomes. Hyaluronic acid in the composition would confer the viscosuppleme nt properties to the joint. The function of the hyaluronidase inhibitor would b e to act as a preservative, and protect the hyaluronic acid from premature degradation in the joint. The liposomal encapsulation and delivery of the composition would serve as a slow release depot for the hyaluronic acid and the hyaluronidase inhibitor. This invention therefore provides a means of delivering stable and long lasting high molecular weight HA to the joint. Th e therpeutic effectiveness of the liposome co-encapsulated hyaluronic acid wit h the hyaluronidase inhibitor would be greater than simple injection of hyaluronic acid. The preferred method of treatment would be by intra-articul ar injection of an admixture of hyaluronic acid and a hyaluronidase inhibitor, optionally encapsulated in liposomes. The treatment is more effective than currently available treatments based on HA alone.

L'image affichée est ensuite changée en image vue depuis la direction de la ligne de coupe et une ligne droite illustrant le plan de référence et une ligne droite illustrant la surface coupée sur la base de la ligne de coupe sont affichées par-dessus l'image. La ligne droite affichée illustrant la surface coupée est inclinée par rapport à la ligne droite illustrant le plan de référence.

Abstract: L'invention concerne l'attribution dynamique de ressource de réseau au moyen d'un estimateur fonctionnant sur la base de mesures. Des mesures d'utilisation de largeur de bande permettent à un tel estimateur de calculer les impératifs de largeur de bande du trafic mesuré. L'utilisation d'un tel estimateur fournit des services différentiés par ajustement de la charge de service d'un programmeur en fil d'attente et modifie l'épaisseur et le comportement du tampon. Grâce à l'apport d'une attribution dynamique de ressource, la technique rend possible la différentiation de divers types de trafic avec réduction de leur complexité, tout en évitant de recourir aux techniques habituelles telles que l'attribution statique ou le service du meilleur soutien, courant sur Internet. L'invention spécifie une nouvelle approche aux problèmes soulevés par le désir d'offrir diverses fonctions de service, parfois orthogonales, à une grande variété de types de trafic.
