Title: Transceiver using a harmonic rejection mixer
Inventor: MOLLENKOPF STEVEN
IPC: H04B1/04
Filed: 2003-01-27
Abstract: A wireless transceiver includes a transmitter having a harmonic rejection mixer and an RF output phase-locked loop in a two step up-conversion architecture, and a direct conversion receiver. The transmitter includes a local oscillator for producing a signal at a multiple of an intermediate frequency, a quadrature modulator harmonic rejection mixer responsive to the signal at the multiple of the intermediate frequency for modulating in-phase and quadrature-phase base-band signals to produce an intermediate frequency signal, a switchable signal responsive to the intermediate frequency signal for producing a filtered intermediate frequency signal, and an RF output offset phase-locked loop responsive to the filtered intermediate frequency signal and the signal at the multiple of the intermediate frequency for producing an RF transmission signal. The harmonic rejection mixer reduces filtering requirements to facilitate a high level of circuit integration while the output offset phase-locked loop reduces the power consumption. TheThe switchability of the filter allows the utilisation of the transceiver for EGSM, DCS and PCS communication. The local oscillator may use a integer or fractional-N phase-locked loop.

Title: Nutraceuticals for the treatment, protection and restoration of connective tissues
Inventor: SHEN BOJANG
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 2003-01-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for isolating from connective tissue a variety of glycosaminoglycan (GAG)-peptide complexes and polypeptides which are substantially free of contaminating DNA and other molecules such as viruses which may be associated with the DNA in the cell. The invention also relates to uses of GAG-peptide complexes and polypeptides substantially free of DNA either directly, or after further processing, for the treatment, protection and restoration of connective tissues in inflammatory and degenerative disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis in any of their multiple forms or other degenerative conditions in mammal. Figure 2 shows photomicrographs (magnification X 400) of histological sections of 3mm bovine tracheal cartilage powders particles before and after subjecting them to the autolysis procedure using 100mM calcium acetate buffer, pH 4,5 at 37 degrees C. Panels A and C are sections of cartilage before autolytic processing and B and D after. Panels A and B show the results of staining with Toluidine Blue (TB), a dye which binds to glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) while C and D show sections stained with Masson Trichrome (Masson TC), a dye known to stain native collagen fibres magenta colour. Note the loss of staining for GAGs in section B after autolysis but a slightly increased intensity of staining for collagen following the removal of the majority of GAGs as shown in D. Cell nuclei, identified in these sections by the green counterstains are clearly unchanged by the autolytic process.

IPC: A61K35/76
Filed: 2003-04-30
Abstract: It is intended to provide a cell fusion type vector having replicability with modified protease-dependent tropism. An M gene knockout virus vector encoding a modified F protein, in which the cleavage site of a paramyxovirus F protein has been modified into a sequence cleaved by another protease, is produced.  When transferred into cells, this vector replicates genomic RNA carried thereby and thus extends the cell fusion type infection toward adjacent cells depending on the latter protease as described above but does not release any viral particles. Such a vector encoding an F protein cleaved by a protease the activity of which is enhanced due to cancer shows an effect of inhibiting caner growth in vivo.
