Title: Utilisation de capteurs d'oxyde nitrique pour traiter les effets secondaires de l'administration therapeutique de sources d'oxyde nitrique
Inventor: LAI CHING-SAN
IPC: A61K31/445
Filed: 1999-06-21
Abstract: On utilise des capteurs d'oxyde nitrique, tels que des composés contenant dithiocarbamate, afin de limiter les effets secondaires provoqués par l'administration thérapeutique de sources d'oxyde nitrique, ce qui consiste à administrer ce ou ces capteurs d'oxyde nitrique à un individu après l'obtention de l'effet thérapeutique de la source d'oxyde nitrique. On peut, par exemple, administrer la source d'oxyde nitrique conjointement avec le capteur d'oxyde nitrique, ce dernier étant formulé dans un véhicule à libération prolongée sélectionné de manière à libérer le capteur avec un effet retard pendant une durée suffisante pour l'obtention de la finalité thérapeutique de la source d'oxyde nitrique. L'invention concerne également des formulations et des trousses, y compris une plaquette alvéolaire contenant des paires de doses unitaires de source souhaitée d'oxyde nitrique et de capteur d'oxyde nitrique. Ces procédés, ces formulations et ces trousses permettent de limiter efficacement les effets secondaires de sildenalfil citrate (Viagra?) ou de l'administration simultanée de ce type de source d'oxyde nitrique et de, par exemple, de la nitroglycérine.

Title: Quilt making automatic scheduling system and method
Inventor: FRAZER JAMES T
IPC: D05B19/12
Filed: 2000-02-16
Abstract: A quilt manufacturing facility (100) having a plurality of quilting machines (10) is provided with an automated scheduling system (50) which automatically generates and distributes schedules for the making of quilted products listed in input customer orders. The generated schedules are distributed in the form of computer files downloaded to the controllers (29) of the quilting machines (10). The generation of schedules is carried out by a programmed central scheduling computer (51) which considers stored data identifying each of the machines and their capabilities, the materials available for production of the products and the product specifications, and determines the machine setting and material requirements for each product on the customer order list as well as the required completion times for each of the ordered products. Schedules for each machine are generated so as to schedule each product with other products having similar machine setting or material requirements in a manner that is consistent with the required completion or delivery times for each product. The scheduling optimizes the use of the quilting machines and operator time by reducing the number of machine setups and material changes. Information is collected from each machine which records all downtime of the machines and the reasons therefor and which records a history of the actual performance of the machines for use by the scheduing computer in more accurately evaluating future schedules.

Abstract: Human antibodies, preferably recombinant human antibodies, that specifically bind to human tumor necrosis factor .alpha. (hTNF.alpha.) are disclosed. These antibodies have high affinity for hTNF.alpha. (e.g., K d = 10 -8 M or less), a slow off rate for hTNF.alpha. dissociation (e.g., K off = 10 -3sec-1 or less) and neutralize hTNF.alpha. activity in vitro and in vivo. An antibody of the invention can be a full--length antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof. The antibodies, or antibody portions, of the invention are useful for detecting hTNF.alpha. and for inhibiting hTNF.alpha. activity, e.g., in a human subject suffering from a disorder in which hTNF.alpha. activity is detrimental. Nucleic acids, vectors and host cells for expressing the recombinant human antibodies of the invention, and methods of synthesizing the recombinant human antibodies, are also encompassed by the invention.
