Title: Use of mutant alkyltransferases for gene therapy to protect from toxicity of therapeutic alkylating agents
Inventor: PEGG ANTHONY E
IPC: A61K38/45
Filed: 1997-03-25
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating neoplastic disease whereby gene therapy treatments are employed in combination with a chemotherapy regime. A combinational therapy with anti-neoplastic alkylating agents will optimize host tumor sensitivity to these agents used alone or in combination with O6-benzylguanine (BG) or a similar compound or compounds. Hematopoietic cells are infected with a transgene expressing a mutant AGT protein exhibiting DNA repair activity while imparting resistance to BG or a related compound. Introduction of the transduced hematopoietic cell population expressing the mutant AGT protein into the patient in tandem with the chemotherapeutic regime will substantially reduce myelosuppression traditionally associated with the administration of these anti-neoplastic drugs.

Title: Continuously variable transmission with ratio synchronizing system
Inventor: RANEY RICHARD C
IPC: F16H15/50
Filed: 1999-02-03
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a continuously variable transmission for varying the speed ratio of an output shaft relative to an input shaft driven by a vehicle engine or other input power source. In an embodiment of the invention, the power transmission system includes a driven input member coupled in driving engagement with at least one rotor to transfer torque to the rotor. A disk member is positioned in cooperative relationship with a rotatable shaft and in a driving engagement with the rotor, such that the disk member is driven to transfer torque to the rotatable shaft. An output member is driven by the rotatable shaft, and torque is transferred from the shaft to the output member, with the disk member being selectively axially moveable relative to the rotor and to the rotatable shaft in response to output load torque on the output member so as to vary the torque transferred from the rotor. There may also be provided a gear system driven by the at least one rotor which may include a planetary gear set and clutch system in parallel cooperation with the output torque of the disk member and cooperating rotatable shaft to extend the speed range of the output member and to provide other beneficial aspects.

Title: Brake control system
Inventor: POOLE JOHN DAVID
IPC: B60T13/58
Filed: 1985-02-05
Abstract: o A brake control system for a multiple unit train of mixed motor cars and trailer cars - of the type usually to be found operating as metro or mass transit trains - and in which the motor cars have dynamic brakes operation of which is blended with, but given preference over, the friction brakes of all units. A brake demand signal calling for a given level of train retardation is weighted on each vehicle, according to the load of the vehicle, and the level of dynamic braking effort invoked on each motor car is limited in accordance with a maximum adhesion level calculated in proportion to the measured load of that car. In a modified arrangement the adhesion level is calculated in accordance with the load of the lightest loaded motor car. Signals representing the amount of dynamic brake effort achieved by each motor car is supplied to a trailer car and subtracted from the load weighted braking effort for the trailer car and the result used to actuate the friction brakes of the trailer.

Title: Method for sorting mail
Inventor: ROSENBAUM WALTER S
IPC: B07C3/00
Filed: 2000-04-03
Abstract: In the method, each envelope (1) is provided with an envelope number that can be read by humans and by machine. The control system of a sorting machine (4) is coupled to an e-mail system. The sender (3) looks for the addressee in the e-mail system and enters the number (2) of the envelope (1) to be sent. He then transmits a message with the addressee and the envelope number (2) to the control system of the sorting machine. In the control system there is a file (6) for the sorting plan, which allocates sorting compartments to the addressees. By means of the message from the e-mail system, the sorting compartment of the addressee is also allocated the envelope number (2), so that after the machine-readable number (2) of the envelope (1) has been read, the envelope can be led into the compartment belonging to the addressee. This allocation is then deleted again. In this way, the difficulties in reading the handwritten addresses are avoided.

Title: Method for assessing a diabetic's risk of experiencing a diabetes-associated pathologic condition
Inventor: BROWN TRUMAN R
IPC: G01N33/66
Filed: 1999-06-10
Abstract: Disclosed is a class of compounds which inhibit the enzymatic conversion of fructose-lysine into fructose-lysine-3-phosphate in an ATP dependent reaction in a newly discovered metabolic pathway. According to the normal functioning on this pathway, fructose-lysine-3-phosphate (FL3P) is broken down to form free lysine, inorganic phosphate and 3-deoxyglucosone (3DG), the latter being a reactive protein modifying agent. 3DG can be detoxified by reduction to 3-deoxyfructose (3DF), or it can react with endogenous proteins to form advanced glycation end-product modified proteins (AGE-proteins), which are believed to be a contributing cause of diabetic complications. Also disclosed are therapeutic methods of using such inhibitors to reduce formation of AGE-proteins and thereby lessen, reduce and delay diabetic complications, as well as methods for assessing a diabetic's risk of developing complications and for determining the efficacy of the disclosed inhibitor therapy by measuring the ratio of 3DG to 3DF in a biological sample following an oral dose of a fructose-lysine-containing food product.
