Patent EP-1137367-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ADAMS BRIAN D
IPC: A61B17/11
Filed: 1999-10-08
Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided to facilitate passage of lacerated ends of a tendon back into and/or through an associated sheath. The method is often necessary to complete repair when lacerated ends of a tendon retract from the associated laceration site in the sheath. The method includes applying respective elastomeric tubes over lacerated ends of the tendon. Each elastomeric tube is preferably made of thin, elastic rubber. The elastomeric tube also prevents fraying and catching of the respective lacerated end during passage into and through the sheath. Multiple threads are preferably engaged with the elastomeric tube. An applicator is provided to slide a respective elastomeric tube over each lacerated end of the tendon. Each elastomeric tube is placed over the respective lacerated end of the tendon by pulling on the associated threads. After the tube is applied, the applicator is removed. The threads, along with suture strands previously placed in the tendon end, are then used to pull the tube and lacerated end into and through the sheath. Once the tendon is passed through its sheath, the tube is removed by pulling it off the end of the tendon using the threads. A second tube may be applied to the other lacerated end of tendon if necessary. The applicator and elastomeric tube or tubes are preferably discarded at the completion of the surgical repair procedure.

Inventor: ACERO ALEJANDRO
IPC: G10L25/93
Filed: 1999-11-22
Abstract: In a method for tracking pitch in a speech signal, first and second window vectors are created from samples taken across first and second windows of the speech signal. The first window is separated from the second window by a test pitch period. The energy of the speech signal in the first window is combined with the correlation between the first window vector and the second window vector to produce a predictable energy factor. The predictable energy factor is then used to determine a pitch score for the test pitch period. Based in part on the pitch score, a portion of the pitch track is identified.

Title: Methods of reducing the astringency of stannous in dentifrice compositions
Inventor: GLANDORF WILLIAM MICHAEL
IPC: A61K8/25
Filed: 1999-11-23
Abstract: Disclosed are methods for reducing the astringency of dentifrice composition containing stannous comprising administering to the subject a dentifrice composition comprising stannous. The dentifrice composition comprises stannous ions, poloxamer, and aqueous carriers. The efficacy of this dentifrice composition containing stannous will not be reduced by the poloxamer. The dentifrice composition may also contain a polyphosphate as long as the water content is limited and the stannous ion is not provided from stannous fluoride. The polyphosphate will also not reduce the efficacy of the stannous. Alternatively, the dentifrice composition may be a dual phase composition. The first dentifrice composition will contain a polyphosphate having an average chain length of about 4 or more and have a limited water content while the second dentifrice composition will contain stannous ions. In the dual phase composition, the poloxamer will be present in the first or second dentifrice compositions or both compositions. Neither the polyphosphate or the poloxamer will reduce the efficacy of the stannous.

Title: Systeme anti-vibrations actif avec attenuation de bruit amelioree
Inventor: GOODMAN ROBERT K
IPC: F16F15/02
Filed: 1999-12-20
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système destiné à améliorer la réduction des vibrations dans un véhicule qui utilise un ou plusieurs capteurs; ces derniers détectent les vibrations ambiantes dans le véhicule et génèrent un signal correspondant aux vibrations détectées. Un circuit de commande est couplé aux capteurs et reçoit ces signaux. Le circuit de commande, qui utilise les algorithmes de filtrage de Kalman, génère un signal de commande qui adapte une force de commande précédente depuis un actionneur et jusqu'à un capteur; ainsi, il met à jour dynamiquement un paramètre qui représente une réaction estimée du véhicule. Ce paramètre mis à jour dynamiquement provient de l'utilisation d'une covariance qui se présente comme une fonction d'une valeur de constante dérivée de façon empirique et d'un changement dans la force appliquée par l'actionneur. Le circuit de commande envoie ce signal de commande à des unités de génération de vibrations, qui génèrent un champ de vibrations destiné à réduire les vibrations du véhicule.

Abstract: An increasingly aged population and better diagnosis has lead to an apparent increase in the prevalence of prostate cancer in men. There is an acute need to better understand the progression of this disease from its locally confined site of initiation to the end stage widely metastatic disease with attendant morbidity and mortality, It has historically been difficult to raise and maintain immortalized prostate cell lines in culture. We have derived a cell line selected from the group consisting of clones ONYCAP 1 and ONYCAP23. The cell lines are characterized as being prostate epithelial in origin.

Patent HK-1077147-A1 (HK)
Title: Digital watermarks and methods for security documents
Inventor: GEOFFREY RHOADS
IPC: G06V30/40
Filed: 2005-12-15
Abstract: Security documents (e.g. passports, currency, event tickets, and the like) are encoded to convey machine-readable multi-bit binary information (e.g. digital watermark), usually in a manner not alerting human viewers that such information is present. The documents can be provided with overt or subliminal calibration patterns. When a document incorporating such a pattern is scanned (e.g. by a photocopier), the pattern facilitates detection of the encoded information notwithstanding possible sealing or rotation of the scan data. The calibration pattern can serve as a carrier for the watermark information, or the watermark can be encoded independently. In one embodiment, the watermark and the calibration pattern are formed on the document by an intaglio process, with or without ink. A photocopier responsive to such markings can take predetermined action if reproduction of a security document is attempted. A passport processing station responsive to such markings can use the decoded binary data to access a database having information concerning the passport holder. Some such apparatuses detect both the watermark data and the presence of a visible structure characteristic of a security document (e.g., a printed seal of the document's issuer). <IMAGE>

Title: Preparation of antigen-presenting human gamma delta t cells and use in immunotherapy
Inventor: MOSER BERNHARD
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2007-09-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the preparation of efficient antigen-presenting human γδ T cells, to the γδ T cells prepared by such a method, and to their use in immunotherapy, vaccination, vaccine development and diagnostics. Similar to dendritic cells (DCs) in potency and efficacy, these human γδ T cells process antigens and present antigenic peptides to αβ T cells and induce antigen-specific responses (proliferation and differentiation) in naïve αβ T cells. γδ T cells are easily purified from peripheral blood, acquire “maturation” status (expression of essential adhesion, co-stimulatory and major histocompatibility complex molecules) within 1 day of in vitro culture under stimulation and induce strong primary and secondary T helper cell and cytotoxic T cell responses. The γδ T cells may be used in a method of treatment of tumors or chronic or recurrent infectious diseases, in identification of novel tumor or pathogen-derived antigens, and in the diagnosis of the immune competence of a patient.
