Abstract: A recording medium (D) comprises a file system area (FSA), a data area (DAA) and an initial defect management area (DMA). A system comprises a drive (DR) for writing data (DA) to or reading data (DR) from the data area (DAA) or the defect management area (DMA), and a host (H) for sending data (DA) to or for receiving data (DA) from the drive (DR) when the drive (DR) is in a mounted state wherein a file system (FS) in the file system area (FSA) is available to the host (H). The method of accessing such a recording medium (D) detects (S1) whether a shortage of free space in the defect management area (DMA) is to be expected, and if yes, allocates (S2) supplemental defect management area (SDMA) at the cost of the data area (DAA). The file system (FS) is adapted to reflect the latest state of available data area (DAA) and the allocated supplemental defect management area (SDMA). The file system (FS) is adapted during an adaptation period related to a mounting or an unmounting phase wherein the host (H) mounts or unmounts the drive (DR). The host (H) unmounts or releases the drive (DR) when no further data has to be exchanged between the host (H) and the drive (DR).

Abstract: The use of inhibitors (I) of enzyme(s) selected from dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DP IV), alanyl-aminopeptidase (aminopeptidase N: APN) and/or enzymes of the same substrate specificities is claimed for reducing neurodegenerative lesions caused by the formation of aggregates of misfolded proteins (e.g. neurofibrillar tangles (NFT)) and blocking or modulating inflammation caused by such lesions, is new. Independent claims are included for: (1) corresponding therapeutic or prophylactic methods using (I); and (2) pharmaceutical preparations (not restricted to particular activities or applications) containing (I) in combination with conventional carriers, additives and/or auxiliaries. ACTIVITY : Neuroprotective; Antiinflammatory; Nootropic; Antiparkinsonian; Anticonvulsant; Antibacterial. Tests were carried out in transgenic mice expressing the human microtubuli-associated tau protein with the P301L mutation under the control of the mouse prion promoter, which develop age-dependent NFT, neurodegeneration and movement deficiency and are a good model for tauopathy in humans (see Nat. Genet., 2000, 25(4), 4020405). Intraperitoneal administration of combinations of DP IV inhibitors (I-49) and APN inhibitors (bestatin hydrochloride, actinonin) at doses of 5-10 mg/kg or the individual inhibitors at 50 mg/kg every 2 to 3 days significantly reduced the number of NFT in both the entorhinal cortex of one hemisphere and the hippocampus of the contralateral area (no quantitative results given), the reduction being greater using a combination of the two types of enzyme inhibitors. MECHANISM OF ACTION : Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DP IV) inhibitor; alanyl-aminopeptidase (aminopeptidase N: APN) inhibitor.

Abstract: A cylinder apparatus includes a cylinder body, support member, shaft, coned disc spring, air cylinder, and levers. The cylinder body is rotatably supported by a pair of frames. The support member is supported to be movable in a circumferential direction with respect to the cylinder body, and supports a suction head. The shaft is supported to be movable in an axial direction of the cylinder body. The coned disc spring biases the shaft in a first direction. The air cylinder moves the shaft in a second direction opposite to the first direction against an elastic force of the coned disc spring. The levers are swingably supported by the cylinder body and swing upon movement of the shaft to fix/release the support member with respect to the cylinder body.

Abstract: A surgical instrument for laparoscopic and endoscopic clinical procedures simultaneously severs and staples tissue clamped in an end effector comprising an elongate channel, which holds a staple cartridge, and a pivotally attached anvil. An E-beam firing bar engages the channel and selectively engages the anvil during distal firing movements, wherein the tissue is severed and stapled driven upward from the staple cartridge to form against the anvil. In particular an upper pin of the firing bar is disengaged from the anvil before firing. A ramped transition from an anvil to an anvil slot avoids misfiring when the end effector has clamped too much tissue, yet assists in successfully clamping a slightly excess amount of tissue. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>

Abstract: An exploration technique allows a router to efficiently determine capabilities and configuration of a neighbor (peer) router. In addition, the technique enables peer routers of an adjacency to negotiate a capability "outside" of a protocol, such as a routing protocol, before a routing session is established between the routers. In this context, the term "outside" of the protocol denotes that there is no field within a protocol packet (message) implementation that can be used to negotiate the capability. Moreover, the inventive technique obviates the need to manually configure a router to support a particular capability and interoperate correctly within a network of routers that both support and are unaware of the capability.

Abstract: A mixer includes a fresh air tube defining a passage having an inlet receiving conditioned air from an air conditioning pack. The fresh air tube includes an outlet providing mixed air to a cabin of the aircraft. An outer tube at least partially surrounds the fresh air tube and receives recirculated air from the cabin. A circumferential corrugation in the fresh tube forms multiple lobes in the fresh air tube fluidly connect the outer tube to the fresh air tube. The warm recirculation air surrounds the portion of the fresh air tube to heat it preventing ice from forming. The warm recirculation air entering the fresh air tube through the lobes homogeneously mixes with the conditioned air from the pack to provide a uniform mixture of air within the fresh air tube, which further ensures the prevention of ice build up.
