Title: High cut-off hemodialysis membranes for the treatment of chronic hemodialysis patients
Inventor: STORR MARKUS
IPC: A61M1/16
Filed: 2009-08-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to high cut-off hemodialysis membranes for the treatment of chronic hemodialysis (CHD) patients, with the potential to improve long-term survival of these patients by reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, through down-regulation of monocyte activation in the blood. Monocytes are the major circulating blood cells involved in the progression of cardiovascular disease. High cut-off hemodialysis in chronic dialysis patients results in a sustained decrease in expression of monocyte cell-surface proteins that direct the movement of these cells from the blood to the walls of blood vessels, where they promote the progression of arterial disease (atherosclero-sis) that leads to cardiovascular disease (CVD); heart dis-ease, strokes and peripheral vascular disease.

IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1999-06-03
Abstract: Voice and/or image data packets are transferred by a packet handier between user stations in a GSM-type mobile communications system using a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) data link. Control data for controlling a call is stored in a data store accessible by the packet handier. The control data identifies call participants and the identity of a participant who has currently seized the call. A mobile station capable of video conferencing is operable in a half-duplex video conferencing mode, in which intermittent transmission of video data is controlled by depression of a transmit button.

Abstract: The Bidet is installed as an addition to a conventional toilet bowl having a hinged seat with/without a lid. The spray arm pipe is pivot able from an at- rest position where the nozzle is tucked away beneath the toilet seat at the Rear rim of the toilet bowl; to an operative spray position where the nozzle is positioned generally 3/4 of the way to the front of the toilet bowl (providing a more effective wash for the female user) to direct a spray of water upwards at the under body premises (anal, vaginal and urinal hygiene) of a person sitting on the toilet bowl. When the toilet seat is up, a spring raises the bidet assembly along with the seat, thereby, not only keeping it out of the way for male urination but also facilitating the easy cleaning under the toilet seat and the toilet bowl. This Bidet device is manufactured using high quality cast brass and stainless steel; and a high quality Chrome platted finish.

Inventor: MARTAKOUSH AZIZ
IPC: F01C7/00
Filed: 2010-11-01
Abstract: A toroidal engine that can be powered by a fuel/air mixture or by a compressed gas source. The toroidal engine uses one-way bearings to transfer torque generated in a toroidal chamber directly to a drive shaft. Pairs of pistons are mounted on two crank assemblies, which are concentric with the drive shaft. One-way bearings allow the crank assemblies to turn, one at a time, in one direction only. The crank assemblies are directly coupled to the drive shaft, which eliminates the need for complex gear and linkage arrangements. A system can be used with the toroidal engine to alternately stop the crank assemblies at a pre-determined position and to time the ignition of the engine.

Abstract: On décrit de façon générale des techniques de codage et de décodage de séquences dimages vidéo à laide de vues de référence fragmentaires. L'invention ci-décrite concerne des techniques de codage et de décodage vidéo en vue dune compression temporelle modifiée basée sur des références fragmentaires plutôt que sur des vues de référence complètes. Dans une séquence typique dimages vidéo, seule une partie (cest-à-dire un pavé) de chaque image comprend des objets mouvants. De plus, dans chaque image, les objets mouvants tendent à être confinés dans des zones spécifiques qui sont communes à lensemble des images de la séquence dimages vidéo. Selon la présente invention, ces zones communes de mouvement sont identifiées. Des vues sont ensuite extraites des zones identifiées des images vidéo. Comme ces vues peuvent ne représenter que des parties dimages, la présente invention appelle ces vues « fragments ». Ces fragments sont alors utilisés comme vues de référence, au lieu de limage entière, pour générer des images prédites pendant un processus de compensation de mouvement.
