Title: A universal implant blank for modifying corneal curvature and methods of modifying corneal curvature therewith
Inventor: PEYMAN GHOLAM
IPC: A61F9/007
Filed: 2000-03-01
Abstract: A universally sized blank made of organic or synthetic material that can be placed on an exposed inner surface of a live cornea and ablated with a laser beam to be altered to a particular shape. The blank can be disk-shaped, annularly-shaped with a through opening, or any other suitable shape. A flap-like portion of the live cornea is removed to expose an inner surface of the cornea, and the blank is positioned on the exposed inner surface of the eye. A laser beam is directed onto a portion of the exposed inner surface (e.g., exposed at the opening in the blank), a portion of the blank, or both, based on the type of ametropic condition (i.e., myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism) of the eye needing correction, so that the laser beam ablates those portions of the inner surface and/or blank and thus reshapes the inner surface, the blank, or both. The flap-like portion of the cornea is repositioned over the remaining portion of the blank, so that a remaining portion of the blank and the inner surface influence the shape of the reattached flap-like portion of the cornea and thus modifies the curvature of the cornea.

Title: Cbr/vbr traffic scheduler
Inventor: CHONG SIMON
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1999-06-25
Abstract: Systems and methods for queuing and de-queuing packets in a two-dimensional link list data structure. A network processor processes data for transmission for a plurality of Virtual Connections (VCs). The processor creates a two-dimensional link list data structure for each VC. The data field of each data packet is stored in one or more buffer memories. Each buffer memory has an associated buffer descriptor that includes a pointer to the location of the buffer memory, and a pointer pointing to the memory of the next buffer descriptor associated with a buffer memory storing data for the same packet. Each data packet also has an associated packet descriptor including a pointer pointing to the memory location of the first buffer descriptor associated with that packet, and a pointer pointing to the memory location of the packet descriptor associated with the next data packet queued for transmission. A VC descriptor for each VC keeps track of the memory locations of the next packet descriptor and the next buffer descriptor to be de-queued, and the memory locations for storing the next packet descriptors and the next buffer descriptors to be queued.

Patent AU-5100998-A (AU)
Title: Identification of unique binding interactions between certain antibodies and the human b7.1 and b7.2 co-stimulatory antigens
Inventor: ANDERSON DARRELL R
IPC: A61P25/00
Filed: 1997-10-29
Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification of antibodies which are specific to human B7.1 antigen (CD80) and which are capable of inhibiting the binding of B7.1 to a CD28 receptor and which are not capable of inhibiting the binding of B7.1 to a CTLA-4 receptor. Two of these antibodies, 16C10 and 7C10, significantly inhibit the production of IL-2, in spite of the existence of a second activating ligand B7.2 (CD86). Blocking of the primary activation signal between CD28 and B7.1 (CD80) with these antibodies while allowing the unimpaired or coincident interaction of CTLA-4 and B7.1 and/or B7.2 represents a combined antagonistic effect on positive co-stimulation with an agonistic effect on negative signalling. These antibodies may be used as specific immunosuppressants, e.g., for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and to prevent organ transplant rejection.

Abstract: An efficient hashing technique uses w<2> + w/2 operations to hash a string "w" words long rather than the w<2>operations of the prior art. This efficiency is achieved by squaring the sum of the key and the string to be hashed rather than forming a product of the key and the string to be hashed. <MATH> <IMAGE>

Title: Automotive braking system actuated by a pressure fluid
Inventor: STUMPE WERNER
IPC: B60T15/02
Filed: 2000-05-19
Abstract: The invention relates to an automotive braking system which is actuated by a pressure fluid, comprising at least one first brake circuit and a second brake circuit, whereby a first brake cylinder and a second brake cylinder are associated with the second brake circuit and can be connected to a second pressure liquid source for the second brake circuit via a second control valve device according to a control signal provided by a multicircuit braking transmitter. A reversing valve arrangement is arranged between the second control valve device and the first brake cylinder, whereby a valve actuating member can be pressure controlled by the control signal associated with the first brake circuit in such that the first brake cylinder can be connected to a pressure fluid source which is independent with respect to the pressure fluid source of the second brake circuit. A switching device is shifted into a blocking state when anti-slip braking occurs. Thus, the control signal associated with the first braking circuit cannot be connected to the reversing valve arrangement during the blocking state.

Title: Pcm data sequence level control
Inventor: JENSEN PETER-GRAUER
IPC: H04M3/50
Filed: 1986-02-28
Abstract: Voice information are converted into pulse code modulated data sequences which, after a further processing, can likewise be deposited in a memory for a specific subscriber. This subscriber can then fetch the information from the memory at any desired time. Given an attenuation of the analog voice signals on the transmission path, a regulation is undertaken in such a manner, given a downward transgression of a mean voice level, that the digital pulse code modulated data sequence is correspondingly modified in its values thus represented, being modified on the basis of a gain factor which can be read from a table. The drive information for the stored table are supplied by a peak value memory which is, in turn, charged with the output signals of an averaging filter. This method therefore provides that the influence of an attenuation of the analog voice signals existing on the transmission path is significantly limited.
