Granted: 1988-06-02
Abstract: A worm drive system includes a worm wheel having two sets of angularly arranged rollers. Each set of rollers mates with a separate screw thread on a worm screw associated with the worm wheel. The worm drive system may also include a second worm screw having two separate screw threads, each one mating with a corresponding set of rollers on the worm wheel. The worm drive system may be used as a speed increaser and/or a speed decreaser by suitably selecting the ratio between the worm wheel and the worm screws. The worm screws rotate in the same angular direction if the screw threads on one worm screw have the same hand, which is different from the hand of the screw threads on the other worm screw. The worm drive system also has a load-sharing capability and an anti-backlash capability.

Title: Protection of endogenous therapeutic peptides from peptidase activity through conjugation to blood components
Inventor: BRIDON DOMINIQUE P
IPC: A61P43/00
Filed: 2000-05-17
Granted: 2003-09-25
Abstract: A method for protecting a peptide from peptidase activity in vivo, the peptide being composed of between 2 and 50 amino acids and having a C-terminus and an N-terminus and a C-terminus amino acid and an N-terminus amino acid is described. In the first step of the method, the peptide is modified by attaching a reactive group to the C-terminus amino acid, to the N-terminus amino acid, or to an amino acid located between the N-terminus and the C-terminus, such that the modified peptide is capable of forming a covalent bond in vivo with a reactive functionality on a blood component. In the next step, a covalent bond is formed between the reactive group and a reactive functionality on a blood component to form a peptide-blood component conjugate, thereby protecting said peptide from peptidase activity. The final step of the method involves the analyzing of the stability of the peptide-blood component conjugate to assess the protection of the peptide from peptidase activity.

Title: Broadcast stereo companding system and apparatus
Inventor: CUGNINI ALDO G
IPC: H04H20/88
Filed: 1985-12-13
Granted: 1988-11-03
Abstract: A stereophonic broadcasting system incorporating companding of the difference signal in which both the usual difference signal(s) and a compressed version of te difference signal(s') are transmitted to one or more remote receivers (70). At the receiver (70) the usual difference signal(s) and the compressed difference signal(s') are combined (84) and the resulting signal then expanded (86) to obtain a noise-reduced difference signal for dematrixing (74) with the sum signal (M) to obtain the original left (L) and right (R) signals. Utilizing both difference signals increases the effective level of the received difference signal by about 6dB, whereas the noise is increased only about 3dB, for a net improvement of about 3dB in signal-to-noise ratio, and also permits compression of the difference signal according to any desired compression law and the use of the unchanged difference signal(s) as a reference signal for controlling the expansion (146) of the compressed difference signal(s') so as to cause the amplitude of the companded difference signal to equal the level of the usual difference signal(s). That is, the expander is adaptive to any compression characteristic that might be employed at the transmitter (24). Further the availability of the usual uncompressed difference signal(s) at the receiver enables the adaptive decoding of dynamic parameters of the received signal, such as frequency response and attack and recovery times, so that all of the parameters of the original signal can be restored automatically.

Granted: 1992-09-17
Abstract: The functions of two virtual opening systems (e.g. S/370 VM, VSE or IX370 and S/88 OS) are merged into one physical system. Partner pairs of S/88 processors run the S/88 OS and handle the fault tolerant and single system image aspects of the system. One or more partner pairs of S/370 processors are coupled to corresponding S/88 processors directly and through the S/88 bus. Each S/370 processor is allocated form 1 to 16 megabytes of contiguous storage from the S/88 main storage. Each S/370 virtual operating system thinks its memory allocation starts at address 0, and it manages its memory through normal S/370 dynamic memory allocation and paging techniques. The S/370 is limit checked to prevent the S/370 from accessing S/88 memory space. The S/88 Operating System is the master over all system hardware and I/O devices. The S/88 processors across the S/370 address space in direct response to a S/88 application program so that the S/88 may move I/O data into the S/370 I/O buffers and process the S/370 I/O operations. The S/88 and S/370 peer processor pairs to execute their respective Operating Systems in a single system environment without significant rewriting of either operating system. Neither operating system is aware of the other operating system nor the other processor pairs.

Title: Method and system for the dynamic modification of control parameters in a transmitter power control system
Inventor: PADOVANI ROBERTO
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 1994-02-01
Granted: 1996-02-22
Abstract: In a communication system in which direct sequence spread spectrum modulation techniques are used interference is generated in communications by remote stations since the communications share the same frequency spectrum. In order to increase system capacity the power level of the remote station transmitters are controlled by the local station. A setpoint is generated by the local station and compared with the remote station signal strength measured at the local station. The result of this comparison is used to generate power level adjustment commands which are sent to the remote station. The remote station is responsive to the power level adjustment commands for increasing or decreasing remote station transmitter power. In a spread spectrum communication system in which data is encoded at variable data rates, the local station determines the rate at which received data was encoded by the transmitting remote station. The data is decoded at each possible rate with error metrics generated that are representative of the quality of the data decoded at each rate. A rate decision algorithm is used to evaluate the error metrics and make a decision on the rate at which the data was transmitted. A pattern match of rate decisions is used to modify a setpoint so as to closely control the transmitting power of the remote station as a function of the quality of the received data.

Title: Lipospheres for controlled delivery of substances
Inventor: DOMB ABRAHAM J
IPC: B01J13/02
Filed: 1990-11-08
Granted: 1994-12-08
Abstract: Solid, water-insoluble lipospheres formed of a solid hydrophobic core having a layer of a phospholipid embedded on the surface of the core, containing biologically active agent in the core, in the phospholipid, adhered to the phospholipid, or a combination thereof, are disclosed for use in providing extended release of active agent, including drugs such as vaccines and anesthetics, insect control agents such as insecticides and repellents, and agricultural compounds such as fertilizers, fungicides, pesticides, and herbicides. Lipospheres can be prepared by a melt technique or a solvent technique, summarized as: (1) forming a liquid solution or suspension of the agent by either melting the agent, or dissolving or dispersing the agent in a liquid vehicle, to form a mixture of liquid agent that solidifies at room temperature or greater; (2) adding phospholipid and an aqueous solution to the liquid agent to form a suspension; (3) mixing the suspension at a temperature above the melting temperature until a homogeneous fine dispersion is obtained; and then (4) rapidly cooling the dispersion to below the melting temperature of the liquid mixture containing the agent. Agent can also be added to the phospholipid or mixed with the resulting lipospheres. The agent containing lipospheres have several advantages over other delivery systems, including emulsions, vesicles and liposomes, including stability, low cost of reagents, ease of manufacture, high dispersibility in an aqueous medium, a release rate for the entrapped substance that is controlled by the phospholipid coating and the carrier. Examples demonstrate the effective administration of anesthetics, antigens, and insect repellent (DEET).
