Patent EP-1239756-A2 (EP)
Inventor: REINHARD ANDREAS
IPC: A47C9/06
Filed: 2001-04-09
Abstract: A pneumatic couch includes an airtight envelope divided into a lower skin and an upper skin. The airtight envelope includes low-stretch material. The pneumatic couch also includes at least one valve for inflation with compressed air and deflation. Between the lower skin and the upper skin, a plurality of flexible webs are arranged running in vertical planes substantially parallel to each other. The flexible webs comprise low-stretch material and are joined over the entire length of the flexible webs both to the lower skin and to the upper skin. At an upper and a lower end of the couch, the airtight envelope overlaps the flexible webs and the lower skin and the upper skin are joined airtight. The airtight envelope overlaps an outermost web on a first and second long side and the lower skin and the upper skin are joined airtight. On one long side of the couch both the lower skin and the upper skin continue past the airtight joint, and are taken around a rear wall and joined to each other, and form a back part. The back part is substantially of the same length and shape as an adjacent web, and the rear wall is so constructed that the rear wall can be fastened onto a load bearing wall or to a suitable bearing construction. The couch thereby assumes the shape of a cantilever.

Abstract: Die Effizienz einer Chemotherapie maligner Erkrankungen ist oft durch Resistenzen gegenüber der eingesetzten Zytostatika limitiert, die durch eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher, parallel oder sequentiell auftretender Mechanismen vermittelt werden. Gegenstand der Erfindung ist die Verwendung eines Verfahrens zur Erfassung von Resistenz-Profilen mittels RNA aus Geweben bzw. Zelllinien mit der real time-RT-PCR-Technologie (durchführbar z.B. am Light Cycler, Roche Diagnostics GmbH). Es können so die Expressionen unterschiedlicher Gene, die an der Entstehung oder Verstärkung oder Verminderung von Resistenzen beteiligt sind, quantitativ nachgewiesen werden. Basierend darauf können dann z.B. Patienten-individuelle Resistenz-Profile erstellt werden, die die molekularbiologische Grundlage zur Auswahl geeigneter Zytostatika vor und auch während der jeweiligen Tumorchemotherapie bilden. Darüber hinaus können prognostisch die Erfolgschancen (Response) bestimmter chemotherapeutischer Regime abgeschätzt werden.

Abstract: A processing apparatus (71) capable of grinding an arcuate groove (a
groove having an arcuate shape in section ) of various shapes defined in
a work (W) with a good accuracy. A pseudo-elliptic arcuate groove
defined in a work (W) is ground by a forming grindstone (81). The work
(W) is moved in a Y-axis direction (vertically on a paper sheet ) in a
state in which the forming grindstone (81) is supported on a tool table
(76) for rotation and is moved in a X-axis direction (a direction
perpendicular to the paper sheet ) to abut against the arcuate groove,
while rotating the work (W) in a direction of an arrow with its axis L
matched with an axis C of an indexer. Thus, it is possible to relatively
move the forming grindstone (81) to trace the arcuate groove, thereby
accurateby grinding the arcuate groove.
