Title: Endoprosthesis
Inventor: COLLAZO CARLOS A
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 2003-04-16
Abstract: A selected augment, shown as a tibial augment (20), is secured at
an augmentation location on a prosthetic implant component, shown
as a tibial implant component (24), by a securing element (64) assembled with
the body (40) of the augment for displacement relative to the augment
body to selectively engage an abutment located on a depending
structure of the implant component, adjacent the augmentation
location, so as to establish a securing force between the securing
element and the depending structure for urging the augment against
the implant component, and thereby secure the augment to the
implant component at the augmentation location. In the tibial
augment (20), a distal surface (44) includes surface portions extending in
anterior-posterior directions and oriented essentially normal to
medial-lateral directions.

Abstract: An air purifier discharges air directly to a room
without forcing the air to pass through a HEPA filter
(308) when the level of contaminations in the air, such as
dust particles, is determined to be sufficiently low. The
air purifier thus minimizes air pressure loss and
attenuates operational noise caused by the HEPA filter
(308). In one embodiment the HEPA filter (308) is itself
moved between a closed (in use) state and an open
(bypassed) state. In another embodiment, a bypass passage
around the HEPA filter (308) is selectively opened or
closed by a door (820).

Abstract: Non-extendible fibers(25) forming a first fiber group(24) are aligned in a molding tool transverse to the breadth of the spoiler lip(16). When a matrix material is introduced into the tool, a channel(30), which extends along a free end of the spoiler lip, is left free for fitting a flexible elastic component(31). A second fiber group(27), though of extendible fibers(26), is aligned in the tool along the direction of the spoiler lip breadth. Some fibers of the first group(24) are arranged in layers and guided at least partly around the channel(30). Other fibers(25) of the first group extend up to the channel(30). An actuating member on the spoiler lip(16) comprises an elastic tube of similar material to the matrix, with at least one inflatable chamber. The tube is attached to the spoiler lip by vulcanization. The channel is formed by locating a core(48') in the tool and removing on demolding of the spoiler lip. A flexible elastic component(31), e.g. a plastic bar or strip, is mounted in the channel after the demolding stage. Alternatively the core may be tube which remains in the spoiler lip after demolding. The tool may be heated. Spoiler lips are produced as preforms for subsequent finishing operations.

Abstract: The invention provides nuclear magnetic resonance
equipment realizing improved sensitivity of a probe for
receiving a free induction decay (FID) signal in
nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in a high
frequency band of 600 MHz or higher. By manufacturing a
solenoid coil of a higher filling factor by using a

disposed so that the film surface becomes parallel with
the uniform magnetic field. The object is realized by a
probe made by a solenoid coil formed by connecting a
plurality of coil parts by capacitive coupling via a

Abstract: A magnetic recording system, such as a magnetic recording disk drive, uses a patterned
perpendicular magnetic recording medium where each magnetic block or island contains a
stack of individual magnetic cells to provide multilevel recording. Each cell in an island is
fonned of a material or set of materials to provide the cell with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy
and is a single magnetic domain. Each cell is magnetically decoupled from the other cells
in its island by nonmagnetic spacer layers. Thus each cell can have a magnetization (magnetic
moment) in one of two directions (into or out of the plane of the layer making up the cell), and
this magnetization is independent of the magnetization of the other cells in its island. This
pennits multiple magnetic levels or states to be recorded in each magnetic island.

IPC: G11B33/04
Filed: 2004-11-19
Abstract: A packaging (100) housing a plurality of plate-like articles (A, B, C), such as CDs or
DVDs, comprises a plurality similarly shaped and sized pouches (27, 28, 29) joined in
series. Each pouch houses a plate-like article and includes an opening (101) through which
the article accesses the interior of the pouch. The packaging is foldable between adjoining
pouches. The pouches are preferably formed of a paper material, such as 15 point cover
stock. The packaging may include a clear plastic cover (102). 
     The packaging provides an alternative for jewel cases housing multiple CDs which is less
demanding on natural resources and may occupy less space in retail outlets. The packaging
may be wrapped, thereby to protect the CDs from displacement and damage, yet readily
enables access for view by potential purchasers of printed media which is typically
inaccessible for view inside wrapped jewel cases.

Inventor: CARR DUSTIN W
IPC: G01N21/77
Filed: 2004-11-25
Abstract: A portable waveguide sensor having one or more gratings. In one embodiment,
the sensor has a waveguide, wherein a plurality of grooves imprinted onto the waveguide
form a Bragg grating. The surface of the grooves has a functional layer adapted to bind a
substance of interest, e.g., a biological pathogen. When the pathogen binds to the
functional layer, the binding shifts the spectral reflection band corresponding to the Bragg
grating such that a probe light previously reflected by the grating now passes through the
grating, thereby indicating the presence of the pathogen. In another embodiment, the
sensor has a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI), one arm of which has a resonator
formed by two Bragg gratings. The surface of the resonator between the gratings has a
functional layer whereas the Bragg gratings themselves do not have such a layer. Due to
multiple reflections within the resonator, light coupled into the MZI interacts with the
bound pathogen over a relatively large effective propagation length, which results in a
relatively large differential phase shift and therefore advantageously high sensitivity to
the pathogen.

Abstract: A method and system for stabilizing images being taken by a video camera using electromechanical stabilization. The stabilization system performs inter-frame stabilization based on the velocity of a vehicle on which the video camera is mounted and the pan rate of a line-of-sight controller of the video camera. The inter-frame stabilization is performed by a software component by moving a display area (or viewport) within a larger image area. The stabilization system converts an inter-frame stabilization adjustment into a pan rate adjustment so that the line-of-sight controller will keep the desired object within the image area of the camera.

Title: Predicting graft rejection
Inventor: STROM TERRY B
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2004-02-17
Abstract: The present invention features prognostic methods useful in assessing patients who have received a transplant and reagents, optionally packaged as kits or organized as arrays, that can be used to carry out those methods. The inventions are based, in part, on our analysis of gene expression in renal allografts and clinical parameters, such as the age of the donor. The clinical parameters include one or more variables associated with the recipient (e.g., the recipient’s age and/or race); one or more variables associated with the graft (e.g., whether the graft is obtained from a living donor or a cadaver and the ischemic time); and variables associated with the donor (e.g., the donor’s age and/or race). The genes that can be assessed include those encoding agents that mediate inflammation, immune activation, and cell death (we may refer to these genes below as “inflammatory”, “immune” or “cytoprotective”). Surprisingly, we found that the levels of gene expression could predict the occurrence of DGF, AR, and the quality of later graft function even when analyzed shortly after the transplant was performed (e.g., shortly after vascular anastomosis and tissue reperfusion). We also found that clinical parameters available at the time of transplantation correlate with decreased graft health and can be considered in combination with gene expression to evaluate a patient’s risk for an adverse outcome.
