Title: Methods and compositions for the treatment of infection and control of flora
Inventor: ALLEN ROBERT CHARLES
IPC: A01N63/50
Filed: 1992-02-14
Granted: 1995-10-26
Abstract: Haloperoxidases are used to selectively bind to and, in the presence of peroxide and halide, inhibit the growth of target microbes without eliminating desirable microbes or significantly damaging other components, such as host cells, in the environment of the target microbe. When a target microbe, e.g., a pathogenic microbe, has a binding capacity for haloperoxidase greater than that of a desired microbe, e.g., members of the normal flora, the target microbe selectively binds the haloperoxidase with little or no binding of the haloperoxidase by the desired microbe. In the presence of peroxide and halide, the target bound haloperoxidase catalyzes halide oxidation and facilitates the disproportionation of peroxide to singlet molecular oxygen at the surface of the target microbe. The lifetime of singlet molecular oxygen restricts damage to the surface resulting in selective killing of the target microbe with a minimum of collateral damage to the desired microbe or physiological medium. The methods and compositions of the invention are highly useful in the therapeutic or prophylactic antiseptic treatment of human or animal subjects, since their use can be designed to be highly effective in combatting bacterial or fungal infections without significant damage to normal flora or host cells. Suitable haloperoxidases include myeloperoxidase (MPO), eosinophil peroxidase (EPO), lactoperoxidase (LPO), chloroperoxidase (CPO) and derivatives thereof capable of selective binding to target microbes.

Title: A learning method for an image analysis system for use in the analysis of an object as well as uses of the method
Inventor: THOMSEN KNUD
IPC: G06K9/62
Filed: 1997-04-24
Granted: 1999-05-27
Abstract: In the teaching of an image analysis system, a video image of a reference object is captured. Several areas, each of which represents a class (22, 23), are marked on the video image, which is divided into pixels having their separate identification, such as color. Once all classes have been formed, each class is given a color which is assigned to all pixels in the class irrespective of identification. Pixels which may belong to more than one class, a so-called conflict class (24), and pixels which do not belong to any class, a so-called 0 class (25), are transferred to a residual class. Then the entire video image is processed in that the pixels which are not represented in the zero class (25) or the conflict class (24), are given a color value from the class having a pixel identification which is closest to the pixel concerned. The principles of the invention may be applied in general in connection with analysis techniques where objects may be characterized by means of an N-dimensional set of parameters. This provides a method which can teach an image analysis system in a quick and safe manner for use e.g. in connection with analysis of cells/tissue, analysis of cuts of meat, metallurgical analyses and other similar fields.

Title: Method and apparatus for providing guaranteed quality of service in a local or wide area network
Inventor: GOLDEN MICHAEL E
IPC: H04L47/80
Filed: 1999-04-09
Granted: 2004-01-08
Abstract: A method and apparatus for adapting existing packet-switched LAN infrastructures (e.g. packet-switched Ethernet) so as to be able to provide reserved-bandwidth virtual-circuit switching services in addition to their conventional capabilities. A centralized control point is incorporated within the infrastructure, preferably via a firmware upgrade to an existing enterprise-class switch, that maintains a map of paths between endstations in the network, as well as the bandwidth capabilities of all links and switches along the paths. When a virtual circuit connection between endstations is requested, the centralized control point determines whether the requested bandwidth is available all along the path. If so, the resources along the path are reserved for the connection. Existing switches in the LAN infrastructure are adapted to give priority to packets belonging to the connection, thereby providing the desired QoS for that connection.

Filed: 1993-10-11
Granted: 1995-04-27
Abstract: The gripper (10) has two gripper parts (11, 13), of which the one, first gripper part (11) is pivotable relative to the other, second gripper part (13). To hold a printed product (P), the free ends (12a, 14a) of the two gripper parts (11, 13) interact. The first gripper part (11) is mounted in a bearing part (21) by means of a ball joint (22), said bearing part being seated non-rotatably on a rotatably mounted hollow shaft (17). Arranged between the bearing part (21) and the first gripper part (11) mounted like a ball therein is a compression spring (27) which exerts a compression force on the first gripper part (11) in the closed position of the bearing part (21). The ball joint (22) is offset towards the rear relative to the pivot axis (17') of the bearing part (21). An extension of the limb (12) of the first gripper part (11) towards the rear is thus achieved, which leads to more favourable leverage ratios and, in the case of a given compression spring (27), correspondingly to higher clamping forces at the free end (12a) of the first gripper part (11). <IMAGE>

Inventor: WARDLAW STEPHEN C
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2000-08-08
Granted: 2002-07-25
Abstract: Formed constituents in an aqueous based fluid biologic material sample are separated from the aqueous constituent of the sample, and are concentrated in an examining instrument's focal plane where they can be examined under magnification. Examples of fluids that can be analyzed in this fashion include urine; cerebrospinal fluid; pleural fluid; ascites; fluids aspirated from cysts such as thyroid and breast cysts; cytologic specimens which have been placed in an aqueous fluid; platelet-rich plasma; and the like. The sample is placed in a chamber having a layer of a hydrophilic hydrogel covering a surface of the chamber. An opposite surface of the chamber is transparent, and may be formed by a microscope slide cover slip, or the like. The volume of hydrogel in the chamber is sufficient so that, when the hydrogel absorbs essentially all of the aqueous fraction of the sample, the hydrogel will expand and fill the chamber. The capture surface of the expanded hydrogel is preferably planar, and any formed constituents in the sample will be captured on the capture surface of the hydrogel layer, and will not be absorbed into the hydrogel. Formed constituents, such as: cells; bacteria; crystals; protozoa; ova; parasites; and the like, can be differentially highlighted by use of labeled antibodies, selective stains, or the like, so as to enable optical examination and differentiation of various formed constituents which may be in the sample. Formed constituents may be harvested from the capture surface of the expanded hydrogel layer for more detailed examination and analysis. The capture surface of the hydrogel may be provided with a plurality of beads for use in locating the capture surface with an optical scanning instrument, and for re-establishing previously scanned fields of view. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1993-10-21
Granted: 1997-09-18
Abstract: Nondigestible fat compositions useful as replacements for triglyceride fats or oils in foods are disclosed. These compositions have relatively flat solid Fat Content (SFC) profile slopes between typical room temperature and body temperature. The nondigestible fat compositions comprise a liquid nondigestible oil and nondigestible solid polyol polyester particles dispersed in the oil in an amount sufficient to control passive oil loss. The solid polyol polyester particles of the composition herein comprise from about 10% to 50% polyol polyester polymer and from 50% to about 90% polyol polyester monomer. The polyol polyester material which forms these solid particles must contain a relatively high proportion of long chain saturated fatty acid ester groups. Edible fat-containing products comprising these nondigestible fats can be less waxy tasting due to the lower level of solids required for passive oil loss control.
