Abstract: Wound healing is impaired in many diabetics, who suffer increased risk of chronic foot ulceration and amputation. Diabetic patients with poor healing ability were found to possess significantly lower fasting urinary nitrate levels than diabetic patients with normal healing ability or non-diabetic controls, implicating decreased endogenous nitric oxide activity as the mediator of diabetes-impaired wound healing. Methods and kits are provided for predicting the wound healing ability of diabetic patients and patients with venous stasis ulceration or another disease or condition characterized by chronically impaired cutaneous wound healing in some patients based on the levels of nitric oxide related products such as nitrate or nitrite in urine or other specimens. Methods are also provided for treating non-wound healing patients and monitoring diabetic ulcer treatment.

Title: Multistage process for removal of sulfur from components for blending of transportation fuels
Inventor: PRADHAN VIVEK R
IPC: C10G67/06
Filed: 2002-05-31
Abstract: Economical processes are disclosed for the production of fuels of reduced sulfur content from a feedstock, typically derived from natural petroleum, wherein the feedstock is comprised of limited amounts of sulfur-containing organic compounds as unwanted impurities. The processes involve integrated, multistage processes which include pretreatment of a light naphtha with a solid adsorbent to remove basic nitrogen containing compounds, chemical conversion of one or more of the sulfur-containing impurities to higher boiling products by alkylation, and removing the higher boiling products by fractional distillation. Advantageously, the processes include selective hydrogenation of the high-boiling fraction whereby the incorporation of hydrogen into hydrocarbon compounds, sulfur-containing organic compounds, and/or nitrogen-containing organic compounds assists by hydrogenation removal of sulfur and/or nitrogen. Products can be used directly as transportation fuels and/or blending components to provide, for example, more suitable components for blending into fuels which are more friendly to the environment.

Abstract: In a storage system directly connected to a
network, if conventional interfaces and protocols are
used when an I/O command issued from a file server is
transmitted to the storage system, the command/data is
serially transferred via a single transfer path so that
the performance is lowered. Conventional interfaces do
not provide the means to notify the storage system of
the failure at the file server. The file server (113)
and a channel adapter (114) of the storage system are
mounted on the same board (112) and connection paths
therebetween are controlled so that a plurality of
protocols can be operated independently. A path
independent from a command/data path is provided
between the file server (113) and channel adapter
(114), and the received failure information is stored
in a shared memory of the storage system 100 and used
for the fail-over.

Abstract: A slack-forming mechanism for stator coils that is able to impart slack
of appropriate size to the stator coil without imposing an excessively heavy burden
on the coiling machine. The slack-forming mechanism includes a coiling machine
attachment jig (23) having a protruding member (31) that passes through a
clearance (30) formed between a stator body (3A) and connector (10A), and has a
top edge positioned higher than a clearance pass-through part (32) of a stator coil
(5). As it is possible to form slack (12A) in the stator coil (5) without changing the
configuration of the coiling machine, deficiencies in prior art slack-forming
mechanisms are overcome such as the difficulty of maintaining uniform slack
amounts, and unreliability. Moreover, since design-related restrictions are few, an
adequately large slack is imparted to the stator coil to adequately suppress breakage
of the stator coil induced by temperate change.
