Abstract: A prefilled injection apparatus for multiple dosings of medication. The protective housing element into which is installed the mechanical drive mechanism used to force the medication from the apparatus extends forward to provide a volume in which is directly contained a multi-dose quantity of medicine, and the medicine is sealed between a movable piston and a septum each in fluid tight engagement with the protective housing element. This design advantageously eliminates the need for using a separate cartridge within the apparatus. A method of making a cartridge-free, multi-dose injection apparatus is also disclosed.

Abstract: A tie layer insert is disclosed to aid in bond formation between an expandable balloon and a distal portion of a catheter shaft. The tie layer insert can be a single layer applied directly to the structural surfaces, or alternatively, the tie layer may be incorporated into a preformed polymeric insert. In the latter embodiment, the polymeric insert may include several layers of polymeric material. During the manufacturing process, the preformed polymeric insert is positioned between the distal portion of the expandable balloon and the catheter shaft. The entire distal region is then processed to form a sealably bonded expandable balloon to the distal end of the catheter shaft.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne une méthode permettant de réduire le taux d'adiposité, d'augmenter la masse maigre, d'augmenter la densité osseuse ou d'accroître la vitesse de guérison osseuse d'un sujet. D'une manière générale, les modes de réalisation de cette invention peuvent être mis en oeuvre selon une méthode consistant à introduire une séquence d'acide nucléique hétérologue codant la GHRH (hormone de libération de l'hormone de croissance) ou un équivalent biologique fonctionnel de cette hormone dans les cellules du sujet, puis à permettre à l'expression du gène codé de se produire alors que les cellules modifiées se trouvent dans le sujet. Par exemple, lorsqu'une séquence d'acide nucléique de ce type est introduite dans les cellules spécifiques des tissus du sujet, on obtient une expression constitutive spécifique. En outre, une régulation externe du gène de la GHRH ou de son équivalent biologique fonctionnel peut être effectuée au moyen de promoteurs inductibles régulés par des molécules à séquence activatrice administrées au sujet. La méthode préférée de la présente invention consiste à introduire les séquences de codage d'acide nucléique inductibles ou constitutives de la GHRH ou de ses équivalents biologiques fonctionnels directement dans les cellules du sujet selon un procédé d'électroporation in vivo. Une réduction du taux d'adiposité et une augmentation de la masse maigre chez un sujet peuvent être obtenues au moyen de l'introduction chez le sujet de GHRH ou de son équivalent biologique fonctionnel selon le procédé ci-décrit comme protéines de recombinaison. Cette invention permet également d'obtenir une augmentation de la densité osseuse et un accroissement de la vitesse de guérison osseuse.

Abstract: The present invention, generally speaking, provides a power-efficient method of driving a switch mode power supply at higher frequencies than those typically attainable in the prior art. In an exemplary embodiment, driver transistors exhibit gate capacitance, which is exploited by charging the gate capacitance using a pulse signal and thereafter allowing the gate capacitance to discharge. With the gate capacitance charged, the driver transistor remains on for the desired period of time even without a drive signal being continuously applied, thus conserving power. In essence, the gate capacitance is exploited in the manner of a memory cell. Furthermore, at higher-frequency operation, instead of the gate capacitance being fully charged, leading to increased turn-off time, the gate capacitance is only partially charged, allowing for quicker turn around. The envelope-following capability of the switch mode power supply, in telecommunications applications, is therefore increased. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, in RF amplification circuit having a phase path and a magnitude path, an amplifier is provided having at least a final stage, the amplifier having an RF input coupled to the phase path; and a switch mode power supply is coupled to an operational voltage and to a power supply input terminal of the amplifier. The switch mode power supply includes a transistor switch, a driver circuit for driving the transistor switch, and a controller, the controller causing the driver circuit to operate in charge transfer mode in which a pulse of short duration relative to a duty cycle of the switch mode power supply is used to turn on the transistor switch.

Abstract: An improved process for the conversion of normally gaseous methane-hydrocarbon mixtures (1), such as natural gas, to a normally liquid hydrocarbon product (10) comprises separating the methane component of the gaseous mixture from the heavier hydrocarbon component, cracking the separated heavier hydrocarbon component (3) at a relatively low temperature and optionally cracking the methane component at a relatively high temperature. The low temperature cracking product and any high temperature cracking product (11) are separated into a light product (31) of principally hydrogen and a heavy product (7) comprising unsaturated hydrocarbons. This heavy product is reacted with methane in the presence of an acidic alkalization catalyst. The resulting product mixture (9) is separated into a light product (61), a portion of which is recycled, and the normally liquid hydrocarbon product (10).

Abstract: At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated according to an input signal for producing relevant signal points in a signal space diagram. The input signal is divided into, two, first and second, data streams. The signal points are divided into signal point groups to which data of the first data stream are assigned. Also, data of the second data stream are assigned to the signal points of each signal point group. A difference in the transmission error rate between first and second data streams is developed by shifting the signal points to other positions in the space diagram. At the receiver side, the first and/or second data streams can be reconstructed from a received signal. In TV broadcast service, a TV signal is divided by a transmitter into, low and high, frequency band components which are designated as a first and a second data stream respectively. Upon receiving the TV signal, a receiver can reproduce only the low frequency band component or both the low and high frequency band components, depending on its capability.

Abstract: The high-performance, RISC core based microprocessor architecture permits concurrent execution of instructions obtained from memory through an instruction prefetch unit having multiple prefetch paths allowing for the main program instruction stream, a target conditional branch instruction stream and a procedural instruction stream. The target conditional branch prefetch path allows both possible instruction streams for a conditional branch instruction to be prefetched. The procedural instruction prefetch path allows a supplementary instruction stream to be accessed without clearing the main or target prefetch buffers. <??>Each instruction set includes a plurality of fixed length instructions. An instruction FIFO is provided for buffering instruction sets in a plurality of instruction set buffers including a first buffer and a second buffer. <??>An instruction execution unit including a register file and a plurality of functional units is provided with an instruction control unit capable of examining the instruction sets within the first and second buffers and scheduling any of the instructions for execution by available functional units. Multiple data paths between the functional units and the register file allow multiple independent accesses to the register file by the functional units as necessary for the execution of the respective instructions. <??>The register file includes an additional set of temporary data registers. These temporary data registers are utilized by the instruction execution control unit to receive data processed by the functional units by the out-of-order execution of instructions in advance of the completed execution of a conditional branch instruction or any instruction that requires additional functional unit processing cycles to complete. The data stored in the temporary data registers is selectively held, cleared or retired to the register file depending on the actual state of the instruction stream at the point where all prior instructions have been executed. <IMAGE>
