Title: Surgical apparatus
Inventor: SUSSMAN GLENN
IPC: A61F9/007
Filed: 2005-12-22
Abstract: A technique can be used increase the flow of fluid through the trabecular meshwork. The fluid pulses can be focused, thereby perforating the trabecular meshwork, or applied over a larger area so as to stimulate the trabecular meshwork for improved fluid transport. In addition, the pulses of the irrigating fluid can clean away material, such as iris pigment, that may be blocking or clogging the trabecular meshwork. Such a technique may be practiced using the tip of the present invention and commercially available surgical handpieces.

Abstract: It is intended to provide an examination method useful in diagnosing colon cancer and colon adenoma whereby a patient suffering from colon cancer and a patient with a high risk of colon cancer can be detected at a high ratio, and an examination reagent therefor. A remarkable difference in the distribution of sugar chain sulfating enzyme GlcNAc-6-sulfotransferase isozymes is found out between a noncancerous colon tissue and a colon cancer tissue/a colon adenoma tissue. Then, it is clarified that colon cancer and colon adenoma can be specifically detected by detecting GlcNAc-6-sulfated sugar chains in a definite range from tissues or fecal samples of patients by applying the above difference. By using MECA-79 antibody (Pharmingen Catalog No. 09961D, Becton Dickinson) reacting with GlcNAc-6-sufated sugar chains specifically formed by enzymes occurring in colon cancer and colon adenoma, colon caner and colon adenoma can be examined.

Title: Window balance system
Inventor: ROBERTSON JEFFREY CHARLES
IPC: E05C1/00
Filed: 2006-03-22
Abstract: A window balance system includes a tilt lock carrier connected to a balance for a tilt sash so that the carrier and other components of the balance can be inserted laterally through a slot in a front wall of a balance channel, rather than requiring assembly length wise from an open end of the channel. The preferred way of accomplishing this is by configuring the carrier in a channel shape with spaced apart side walls bearing locking elements and a pivot allowing the carrier to be folded up to straddle a connector or balance in a compact configuration that is laterally insertable.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an external-cavity tuneable laser including a gain medium (2) an a tuneable mirror (8), wherein at least the tuneable mirror is in thermal contact, with a thermally conductive platform (10). The tuneable mirror lays substantially horizontally on the thermally conductive platform significantly thereby improving the thermal contact of the tuneable mirror with the platform. The laser beam from the gain medium is directed onto the tuneable mirror, which is mounted substantially horizontally with respect to the thermally conductive platform, by means of a deflector (6) that deflects the beam or a large part of it towards on of the principal surfaces of the tuneable mirror. The resulting laser cavity is therefore a folded cavity. The thermally conductive platform is preferably thermally coupled to TEC (11) that provides thermal control for the platform. In a preferred embodiment, the deflector is a beam splitter that deflects part of the incoming light and transmits the remaining part. A beam splitter as deflector a more compact laser assembly can be envisaged. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the portion of light transmitted through the beam splitter forms the output laser beam. In other words, the external-cavity laser outputs a laser beam on the side of the wavelength selective elements (the tuneable mirror and, if any, the channel grid), i.e., on the side of the front facet of the laser diode. With this laser design, a collimating lens to collimate the output laser beam is not necessary.

Title: Vehicle front structure
Inventor: ASAI TAKASHI
IPC: B60K5/12
Filed: 2005-09-02
Abstract: In a vehicle front structure (10), a cross member (52) which is disposed above paired side members (12) includes vehicle width-direction both end portions extending toward a rear side of the vehicle. The cross member (52) is connected with vehicle front-side portions of the paired suspension towers (42) at edges of the extending portions. Therefore, when a vehicle has a frontal collision at high speed, a collision load applied to the cross member (52) can be effectively received by the paired suspension towers (42), and can be transmitted to the paired suspensions. Thus, the cross member (52) can effectively receive the collision load, and can efficiently transmit the collision load to the rear side of the vehicle.
