Title: Virus derived antimicrobial peptides
Inventor: MONTELARO RONALD C
IPC: A01N63/50
Filed: 2002-02-19
Granted: 2011-06-07
Abstract: The invention is directed to peptides having antimicrobial activity (antimicrobial peptides). The antimicrobial peptides of the present invention are analogs of the Lentivirus Lytic Peptide 1 (LLP1) amino acid sequence. The invention is further directed to peptides referred to as the Lytic Base Unit (LBU) peptides derived from the LLP1 analogs, also having antimicrobial activity. In addition, the present invention is also directed to methods of using the peptides in a variety of contexts, including the treatment of prevention of infectious diseases. The antimicrobial LLP1 analog peptides and the LBU peptides (collectively eLLPs) may be highly active under high salt conditions and in biologic fluids. In addition, the eLLPs are effective when presented either in soluble form, or when attached to a solid surface. Furthermore, the peptides of the present invention are selectively active against a wide variety of bacterial pathogens and exhibit minimal toxicity to eukaryotic cells in vitro and in vivo.

Title: Optical displacement sensor for infusion devices
Inventor: MANDRO MARC A
IPC: G01D5/347
Filed: 2003-07-23
Granted: 2010-07-20
Abstract: An optical sensor for a delivery device having a piston (30) that displaces a substance, such as a fluid, from a reservoir (34). The optical sensor has a light source (42) and a detector array (44) for imaging encoding features disposed along a plunger rod (38) coupled to the piston. By virtue of the pattern of encoding features, an absolute position of the plunger rod relative to a fiducial position may be determined uniquely. Thus, the volume of fluid remaining in the reservoir, the rate of fluid delivery, and proper loading of the reservoir may be accurately ascertained. Additionally, the encoding may serve to uniquely identify a version of the reservoir which may be supplied in various versions corresponding, for example, to differing concentrations of a therapeutic agent to be dispensed.

Title: Soft close ring binder mechanism
Inventor: CHENG HUNG YU
IPC: B42F13/00
Filed: 2005-01-24
Granted: 2009-12-15
Abstract: A ring binder mechanism that retains loose-leaf pages and has ring members that do not snap together when they close and that easily open and close as pages accumulate. The mechanism includes a housing that supports two hinge plates for loose pivoting motion, moving the ring members apart or together. The mechanism further includes an actuating lever pivotally mounted on the housing. The lever moves a travel bar and locking elements for controllably pivoting the hinge plates, and therefore controllably moving the ring members apart and together. In particular, the locking elements cam the hinge plates to softly close the ring members. When the ring members are apart, the locking elements register with openings in at least one of the hinge plates. When the ring members are together, the locking elements are out of registration with the openings, blocking the hinge plates from pivoting to separate the ring members.

Title: Surface mountable clip suitable for use in a mobile communication device
Inventor: CHEN CHAO
IPC: H01Q1/24
Filed: 2003-11-28
Granted: 2009-07-14
Abstract: A mobile communication device includes a printed circuit board (PCB); a radi o frequency (RF) transceiver carried on the PCB; and an antenna coupled to the RF transceiver. A surface mountable antenna clip is mounted on the PCB for retaining the antenna. The clip is a metal structure having a plurality of planar sides generally formed into a U-shape. An opening formed by the structure is sized to receive and retain the antenna. One of the planar side s is used to support the structure and is mounted over a solder pad of the PCB . A hole formed through this planar side is configured to break a suface tensi on of molten solder over a solder pad of the PCB during a reflow soldering process, so that the clip is more stable and tends not to rotate out-of- position during the process. Legs extending from edges of this planar side also help to stabilize the clip during the process, and provide an increased surface area for the connection. In fact, if the initial Surface-Mount Technology (SMT) placement position of the clip is slightly skewed or shifte d, surface tension forces will help the clip to move or rotate into the correct position. The legs also provide sufficient features to a vision system to correctly orient the clip on the PCB.

Inventor: SMIT LEO
IPC: D01F6/04
Filed: 2003-12-09
Granted: 2010-10-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for making a multi-filament polyethylene yarn via a gel-spinning process, wherein a spin finish is applied at least once in an amount of 0,1-10 mass % based on the filament, to a filament that contains less than 50 mass % of solvent; the spin finish comprising at least 95 mass % of at least one volatile compound having a boiling point at 0,1 MPa pressure of from 30 to 250 ~C; and the spin finish is subsequently removed by exposing the filament to a temperature of below the melting temperature of the filament. With this process a yarn is made that has a very low amount of residues on the surface of the fibres, without the need for a washing or extraction step, showing good mechanical properties, and very suited for e.g. biomedical applications. The invention further relates to a process for converting polyolefin fibres into a semi-finished or end-use product. The invention also concerns a polyethylene yarn and a semi-finished or end-use product obtainable by said processes, as well as to the use of thereof in biomedical applications.

Abstract: Approaches described herein may be used for provisioning of databases that requires a bulk transfer of data within a distributed computing environment, such as a grid. The approaches do not require the manual intervention of a DBA  to, for example, transfer a tablespace between the file systems of operating systems. Instead, the tablespaces may be provisioned automatically and dynamically by a grid computing system whenever it determines the need to dynamically provision a database. In addition, as copies of tablespaces are provisioned, synchronization mechanisms can also be automatically provisioned to keep the tablespaces and their copies in sync.
