Inventor: SVEDMAN PAL
IPC: A61B10/00
Filed: 1996-04-24
Granted: 1999-10-28
Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus (1) for use in a suction blister technique of sampling fluid from the human or animal body. The apparatus (1) comprises a cup (2) defining a chamber and having a rim portion (3) defining an aperture (5) communicating with the chamber. An annular flange (6) extends outwardly from the rim portion (3) whereby in use the flange (6) is sealingly attached to the body such that an area of skin closes the aperture (5). A ducted portion (11) is connected to the cup (2) and defines duct (12) which communicates with the chamber. The cup (2) further comprises a roof (4) which merges with the rim portion (3) and is formed of a resiliently deformable material having a shape memory which urges the roof (4) into an expanded configuration in which the roof (4) is held clear of the aperture (5). The roof is however deformable to a collapsed configuration in which it is proximal to the aperture (5).

Title: Immunotherapy of B-cell malignancies using anti-CD22 antibodies
Inventor: GOLDENBERG DAVID M
IPC: A61P43/00
Filed: 1998-03-17
Granted: 2001-01-04
Abstract: B-Cell malignancies, such as the B-cell subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, are significant contributors to cancer mortality. The response of B-cell malignancies to various forms of treatment is mixed. Traditional methods of treating B-cell malignancies, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, have limited utility due to toxic side effects. Immunotherapy with anti-CD20 antibodies have also provided limited success. The use of antibodies that bind with the CD22 antigen, however, provides an effective means to treat B-cell malignancies such as indolent and aggressive forms of B-cell lymphomas, and acute and chronic forms of lymphatic leukemias. Moreover, immunotherapy with anti-CD22 antibodies requires comparatively low doses of antibody protein, and can be used effectively in multimodal therapies.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DK94/00276 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 6, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 6, 1996 PCT Filed Jul. 6, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/01876 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 19, 1995Disclosed is a method and apparatus for cleaning a cylinder surface. The method is particularly suitable for use on flexographic printing cylinders where the automatic cleaning apparatus facilitates the cleaning of plate cylinders or on any type of cylinders. The method comprises detaching particles such as dust, fibers and other foreign objects deposited on the cylinder surface by means of pressurized fluid of air, liquid, ultrasound or other suitable media. After the particles have been detached, the cylinder surface is exposed to a vacuum unit whereby the detached particles and other material deriving from the cleaning medium are sucked off the surface of the cylinder. The advantage is that, in many cases, it will not be necessary to halt the printing process for cleaning the cylinder. The apparatus comprises a cleaning head or pipes capable of providing the pressurized fluid to the cylinder surface and removing any particles detached from the cylinder surface while the cylinder is in normal operation.

Title: Power line communication apparatus
Inventor: PROPP MICHAEL B
IPC: H04B3/14
Filed: 1987-04-03
Granted: 1990-08-30
Abstract: A power line communication system specially designed for use in local area network (LAN) configurations has receiver and transmitter sections for fast, highly reliable data communication. The receiver includes controlled adaptive second order filters for ensuring data reception in virtually any signal environment having noise and distortion characteristics, especially alternating current (AC) power lines. A wideband phase shift-keyed (PSK) carrier is impressed on the transmission medium, the carrier having power spread approximately uniformly across a useful frequency bandwidth. A transmitter section is arranged for adaptive feedback control of the transmitted signal power, so as to prevent possible damage to the transmitter when the transmission medium impedance is low. A logic control circuit provides a correlation count of a received signal in comparison with a known reference signal in order to effectively achieve phase synchronization between the receiver and transmitter.

Patent AU-747578-B2 (AU)
Title: Needleless valve
Inventor: DOYLE MARK CHRISTOPHER
IPC: A61M39/26
Filed: 1998-08-31
Granted: 2002-05-16
Abstract: A needless valve is described which avoids the suctioning problems of the prior needleless devices upon deactivation and which preferably provides a positive self-purging effect. The valve is self-purging at the end of an administration cycle, avoiding clogging of attached catheters or other devices, and ensures that substantially all of liquid received into the valve is delivered to the receiver. The valve is also extremely simple in design and easy to construct and assemble, since it consists of only three pieces. The valve has a base with a connector for fluid communication attachment to tubing or other device, a solid elongated fluid channeling rod, and an internal fluid flow conduit; a flexible hollow expandable and contractible plug fitting over and moveable along the rod; and a tubular housing fitting over the plug and attached to the base. When the valve is activated by insertion of a nozzle of a fluid source, the rod and plug wall cooperate so that as the plug retracts along the rod, it is stretched and its interior expanded. Upon deactivation, the plug contracts, the interior volume decreases, and the resiling plug wall forces residual fliud within the valve to be expelled through the outlet, purging the residual fluid from the valve. No negative pressure is formed, so no suctioning of blood or other fluid from a patient or receiver occurs.
