Title: Apparatus and method for continuously monitoring cardiac output
Inventor: HUGHES TIMOTHY J
IPC: A61B5/028
Filed: 1992-12-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus for continuously monitoring cardiac output based upon phase shift between an input signal and a temperature signal indicative of change in blood temperature leaving the heart. In a preferred embodiment of a cardiac output monitoring system (10), a catheter (14) is provided with an electrical resistance heater (22). An electrical current having a sinusoidal wave form with a period of from 30 to 60 seconds is applied to the heater, causing power to be dissipated into the blood within a patient's heart (12). A temperature sensor (24) disposed near the catheter produces a signal indicative of the temperature of blood leaving the heart. The temperature signal and the signal corresponding to the electrical power dissipated in the heater are filtered at a frequency  omega corresponding to the frequency of the applied electrical current. The amplitude of the input power, the amplitude of the temperature signal, and their phase difference are used in calculating cardiac output. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1997-06-06
Abstract: Oligomeric compounds including oligoribonucleotides and oligoribonucleosides are provided that have subsequences of 2'-pentoribofuranosyl nucleosides that activate dsRNase. The oligoribonucleotides and oligoribonucleosides can include substituent groups for increasing binding affinity to complementary nucleic acid strand as well as substituent groups for increasing nuclease resistance. The oligomeric compounds are useful for diagnostics and other research purposes, for modulating the expression of a protein in organisms, and for the diagnosis, detection and treatment of other conditions susceptible to oligonucleotide therapeutics. Also included in the invention are mammalian ribonucleases, i.e., enzymes that degrade RNA, and substrates for such ribonucleases. Such ribonuclease is referred to herein as a dsRNase, wherein "ds" indicates the RNase's specificity for certain double-stranded RNA substrates. The artificial substrates for the dsRNases described herein are useful in preparing affinity matrices for purifying mammalian ribonuclease as well as non-degradative RNA-binding proteins.

Title: A file system for a plurality of storage classes
Inventor: KRAKAUER ARNO STARR
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 1989-04-19
Abstract: A file system for managing data files for access by a plurality of users of a data processing system that includes internal storage for buffering, external storage, and a file user interface by which the plurality of users request access to data files. A first level, coupled to the file user interface in the internal storage allocates the internal storage for temporary storage of data to be accessed by the plurality of users, and generates requests for transactions with external storage in support of such allocations. A second level is coupled to the first level and the external storage and responds to the request for transactions with the external storage for managing the transactions for storage of data to, and retrieval of data from, the external storage. The second level defines a plurality of physical storage classes which are characterized by pre-specified parameters that allocate data files subject of transactions to locations in external memory. In response to requests for transactions, the second level identifies one of the plurality of storage classes assigned to the data file subject of the transaction and carries out the transaction with the appropriate locations in external memory. At least one of the plurality of storage classes provides for utilization of a plurality of access paths in parallel for transactions involving data files assigned to such storage class. Further, at least one parameter pre-specified for storage classes identifies a level of reliability desired for the subject data files.

Title: Process and system for vertical continuous casting of metal
Inventor: SCHNEIDER WOLFGANG
IPC: B22D11/16
Filed: 1993-03-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for the vertical continuous casting of metal in a hot-top mould with equal-level metal feeding. The object on which the invention is based is to provide a method and an arrangement which make it possible, in the case of equal-level metal feeding, to avoid asymmetric temperature gradients, turbulence and unusable metal volume. According to the invention, this object is achieved by the fact that the equality of level of a metal melt in a hot-top mould and at the outlet opening of a melting furnace is produced by means of a launder (1) which is passed through the upper region of the hot-top mould and, by means of outflow openings (10) in the side walls, establishes a connection with the metal melt in the hot-top mould, the bottom of the launder (1) lying in a plane below the level of the outlet opening of the melting furnace and below the upper edge of the hot-top mould. <IMAGE>

Title: Dry compositions for preparing submicron emulsions
Inventor: FRIEDMAN DORON
IPC: A61Q19/00
Filed: 1993-02-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to dry, stable compositions which can be reconstituted to form pharmaceutical or cosmetic emulsions, and to methods for making such compositions. An emulsion is formed from about 0.2 to 25 weight percent of a first component of an oil, about 0.1 to 5 weight percent of a second component of an emulsifier, about 0.25 to 25 weight percent of a cryoprotectant of an amino compound, such as one or more amino acids, peptides or protein hydrolysates, and an aqueous component, wherein the amino compound is present in an amount that is equal to or greater than that of the first component. Optionally, a co-emulsifier, a suspension agent, a preservative, an antioxidant and a drug can be added to these emulsions. Thereafter, the emulsion is lyophilized to form dry compositions that have from about 40 to about 90 weight percent of the amino compound; from about 0.1 to about 20 weight percent of the emulsifier; and from about 0.2 to about 40 weight percent of the oily component. By combining the dry composition with an appropriate quantity of an aqueous liquid, the composition is reformed as an oil-in-water emulsion.

IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 1995-12-21
Abstract: In the gearbox, fully described in French Patent Application No 93 13768 (18.11.93), meshing of pinions on primary and secondary shafts is activated by motor-driven selector shafts controlled by a microprocessor-based unit receiving input from the driver's shift-lever and appropriate sensors. No synchronising clutches are provided. When changing down, the controller, via a relay (87), opens (86) a throttle by-pass passage (85), the accelerator pedal (PG) being unaltered. The weakened mixture alters the exhaust gas composition (80); this is signalled by a sensor (81) to the injection controller (82). More fuel is injected (83,79). Engine and primary shaft speeds increase. The controller, monitoring engine and road speeds, engages the new gear when pinion speeds coincide.

Title: Switched video service
Inventor: STESSENS WERNER JOZEF CATHARIN
IPC: H03M13/05
Filed: 1993-07-06
Abstract: The error detection and correction device detects and corrects single bit errors in a sequence of bits comprising a plurality of n-bit containing subsets applied on a parallel bus IN having m subset parts. It includes a storage module ST connected to the bus IN and which transfers the subsets as they are received on the bus to a divider logic circuit DL. This circuit performs a m*n bit parallel modulo 2 division of the received sequence by a given polynomial and transfers the remainder REM to a comparison circuit C where it is compared with a zero byte or with an error code byte HEC contained in the sequence depending on the position of the first byte of the sequence on the bus. Based on the result of the comparison and using translation tables a processor circuit PR determines the bit position in the sequence of a bit error. A correction logic CL corrects the received sequence. <IMAGE>
