Abstract: A wearable, self-contained drug infusion device is disclosed that is capable of achieving the precise flow rate control needed for dose-critical drugs such as insulin. In preferred embodiments of the device, at least two flow channels are utilized in conjunction with a series of valves for providing a user with selectable, constant flow rate control. The device can be made with small dimensions so that it can be worn by the user with a minimum of discomfort and inconvenience. In addition, the simple mechanical nature of the device provides the user with close control over the flow rate, which is required for safe and effective delivery of insulin and other drugs. Also, the absence of electronic components allows the device to be manufactured inexpensively. The device is provided with a first channel that is long and narrow, functioning as a flow restrictor. The first channel is preferably provided in a serpentine pattern. A second channel is also provided that has a larger cross section so that flow is not restricted. A series of valves are used to force the flow of fluid through a selectable portion of the serpentine portion of the first channel before entering the remainder of the second channel and flowing to the delivery cannula. In one embodiment of the device, a needle port is provided in fluid communication with the delivery cannula for delivering bolus injections. In another embodiment, a bolus button is provided for delivering bolus injections. A flow restrictor is preferably included in the bolus button to limit the rate at which the bolus button refills.

Abstract: A catheter for use in vasculature or other lumen within body structures includes a shaft formed from an elongated polymeric flexible tube. A metallic tube may be bound to the distal end of this tube. A thinner, more flexible tube may be attached to the distal end of a metallic tube. The two plastic tubes, together with any metallic tube define a lumen for providing communication with an angioplasty balloon or with a body lumen at the distal end of the catheter. A catheter may include a core member to facilitate moving the catheter through a lumen, and to reduce the likelihood that the catheter will kink or bend improperly. This metallic core member extends from the hub to some point distal on the catheter, and may extend to the distal tip of the catheter. The distal end of a catheter balloon may be secured to the core member during manufacture of the catheter. The core member has a zigzagged or helix shape at the proximal end which is friction fit into the hub lumen, and may have a pointed tip that embeds in the hub inner wall. During manufacture, the core member can be secured within the hub with reduced reliance on adhesives or molding of the core member within the hub body. The core member may be secured within the hub by being press fit into the hub lumen. The catheter is more easily manufactured, and has an increased volume and reduced obstruction by adhesive in comparison with other methods of securing the core member.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for manufacturing of a nonwoven. In order to be able to cost-effectively produce a nonwoven, which is to a great extent isotropic in machine and cross direction, a double-layer web is produced according to the invention by one single web forming device, where the one partial web consists of mainly lengthwise oriented fibers and the other partial web laid in zigzag-the cross-fiber partial web-consists of mainly crosswise oriented fibers. The primary fleece for the cross-fiber partial web is taken off the web forming process at a several times higher speed than the fleece of the other, slower partial web. Both partial webs are redirected and oriented to each other in such a way, that they can be brought together to form a double-layer complete web. This double-layer web produced in a cost-effective way is then bonded to form a nonwoven which is to a great extent isotropic.

Abstract: A fixed voltage (30) and a movable electrode (38) are placed face to face with each other, and an insulating film (31) is formed on the surface of the fixed electrode (30). The insulating film (31) is made of a nitride film (SiN) (47) as a main material, with oxide films (SiO2) (39, 48) being formed on the front and rear surfaces of the nitride film (37). Moreover, a plurality of protrusions (32) are formed on an area facing the movable electrode (38) of the upper face of the insulating film (31). The charge quantity in the insulating film (31) is mainly determined by a film thickness of the oxide film (48), and the nitride film (47) is used for maintaining a sufficient film thickness required for the voltage proof characteristic. Thereby, it is possible to suppress variations in operational voltage characteristics such as on-voltage and off-voltage in an electrostatic actuator so as to prevent phenomena in which the electrostatic actuator fails to turn on even when a rated voltage is applied to the electrostatic actuator and in which the electrostatic actuator fails to turn off even when the driving voltage is turned off. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The inventors have discovered that a CKbeta8-1 truncation variant, CKbeta8-1 (25-116), is a bifunctional ligand for two distinct GPCRs, chemokine receptor CCR1 and formyl peptide receptor like 1 (FPRL1). Hence, the inventors have discovered that, in addition to its functional activity on CCR1, CKbeta8-1 (25-116) is also a functional ligand for the GPCR receptor FPRL1 that is involved in inflammatory reactions and innate immunity by recruiting monocytes and neutrophils. In addition, the inventors have discovered an alternatively spliced exon of CKbeta8-1, named SHAAGtide. SHAAGtide, along with its parent chemokine CKbeta8-1 (25-116), is fully functional on both monocytes and neutrophils that are known to express FPRL1.
