Abstract: The inflation procedure for a tire outer cover (20) consists of forming inside an enclosure (30) enclosing the rim (10) and the tire beads (21,22) an inflation orifice between a first seating (13) of the rim and a first bead. Then compressed air is introduced through the orifice so that the cover is inflated and installed in a sealed manner on the rim.  Before forming the orifice the cover is placed so that the first bead (21) is axially outside the first seating and the second bead (22) is sealed onto the second seating (14). The orifice is formed by selectively pressing on the first bead. A bell (32) composed of a fixed part (34) and a sliding part (35) clamps the cover onto the rim. Inside the bell a finger (33a) selectively presses on the bead.

Abstract: A random access memory comprises a matrix made up of cells arranged in rows and columns and the cells are addressed row by row. Each cell of a row is connected to first and second bit lines and at least the first bit line is subdivided into a plurality of sections connected to respective inputs of an output logic gate. The memory includes read/write control circuits which apply the following logic functions to each of the first and second bit lines directly or indirectly and selectively, according to whether a required operation is a write or a read. Sel.((W.D) or {overscore (W)})) is applied to the first bit line, whilst Sel.W.D is applied to both the first and second bits lines, where "Sel" is a cell selection signal representative of the address, "W" is a write command, {overscore (W)} is a read command, "D" is the data to be written into the addressed cell and "." indicates the AND function.

Abstract: A laser cut stent for transluminal delivery has windows in its cylindrical wall, the windows giving the stent enhanced flexibility during delivery along said lumen. A method of making such a stent involves removing from the wall of a tube enough material to leave the tube wall penetrated in a multiplicity of separate cut lines, in a pattern which permits the tube to expand. The tube is then expanded and then a plurality of tube wall scrap portions are removed from the tube wall between adjacent cut lines, thereby to introduce a plurality of spacings between adjacent stenting zones of the tube wall surface, these remaining after compression of the tube to a configuration to allow it to be advanced along a tortuous bodily lumen. Advantageously, the material of the tube is a shape memory alloy and the tube is for a self-expanding stent.

Abstract: L'invention concerne l'utilisation de la thérapie génique dans le traitement de diverses fibroses affectant l'être humain. L'objectif est d'utiliser des gènes thérapeutiques spécifiquement dirigés à des organes cibles pour inverser et/ou prévenir le développement d'un processus associé à la fibrose. L'application éventuelle de la thérapie génique chez des patients atteints de fibrose et/ou de cirrhose dépend en grande partie du succès de la transmission de gènes codant pour des protéines thérapeutiques à des foies présentant une fibrose étendue, et du fait que ces gènes, codant pour des protéines MMP-8 latentes et actives, MMP-1, MMP2, MMP-9 et MMP-13, l'uPA sylvestre et/ou modifié (ou sa version tronquée), le récepteur tronqué de type II de TGF-β et Smad7, soient dirigés par des adénovirus et/ou d'autres vecteurs recombinants qui ne transduisent (infectent) pas d'autres organes. Les adénovirus recombinants (AdR) sont des vecteurs hautement efficaces dans la transduction de gènes thérapeutiques à diverses cellules cibles. On a démontré qu'il est possible de transmettre des gènes à des foies cirrhotiques. La transmission de gènes thérapeutiques par l'intermédiaire desdits vecteurs adénoviraux et d'autres vecteurs recombinants peut s'effectuer par des liposomes (DOTMA) cationiques et anioniques. L'invention peut également être utilisée dans le traitement de la fibrose rénale, de la fibrose pulmonaire, des cicatrices hypertrophiques et kéloïdes (fibrose cutanée), et d'autres types de fibroses.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling access to information over a network. Information and video/audio streams are transmitted across a network by a head end to a member space manager or set-top box where the information may be utilized or viewed. The frequency that a given stream of information is transmitted on is rotated or switched based on a switching algorithm. For example, a given stream (e.g., a motion picture on a pay-per-view station) may be transmitted on one frequency for a specified time interval, then switched to another frequency for a specified time interval, etc. To enable the member space manager to determine which frequency a given stream of information is transmitted on at a particular point in time, switching software may be provided by the head end server to the member space manager. Switching software may be encrypted prior to transmission to the member space manager.
