Abstract: A stent for maintaining an open passageway through a body lumen, such as the prostatic urethra of a male patient, includes a coil segment and a flexible polymer material encapsulating the coil segment. The coil segment defines a lumen extending therethrough and includes a distal portion, a middle portion, and a proximal portion. Both the distal and proximal portions of the coil segment have a greater outer diameter in comparison to the middle portion, so as to enhance retention of the stent after placement within the patient's body. The coil segment is made from a wound element that includes one or more spaced windings. The flexible polymer material is disposed between adjacent spaced windings to form an imperforate flexible webbing that encapsulates the coil segment and prevents the growth of tissue between the windings and into the coil segment's lumen when the stent is placed within the patient.

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à des formes posologiques à libération contrôlée destinées à une administration orale. Cette forme posologique comprend un agent thérapeutique qui est métabolisé dans le tractus gastro-intestinal supérieur en combinaison à un agent à libération contrôlée de manière à être hydrodynamiquement équilibrée afin que, lors du contact avec le fluide gastrique, ladite forme posologique possède une densité apparente inférieure à 1 g/ml et par conséquent s'avère susceptible de flotter dans le fluide gastrique. Cette forme posologique est retenue dans l'estomac pendant le laps de temps lui permettant de libérer sensiblement tous les médicaments qu'elle contient. En outre, cette forme posologique permet une libération du médicament pendant un laps de temps prolongé de sorte que l'administration de l'agent thérapeutique à l'intestin grêle se déroule de manière régulière plutôt que subite. Cette libération régulière dans le temps de l'agent thérapeutique au niveau du site de métabolisation et d'absorption permet d'empêcher une saturation enzymatique et favorise par conséquent une meilleure biodisponibilté de l'agent thérapeutique.

Abstract: An information processing system capable of dynamic CPU
replacement regardless of the function of OS, and a method and a
program for controlling the same. The information processing system
comprises an information processor and a service processor. The
service processor instructs MMCs of all cell boards in a partition that
includes a cell board to be removed and an MMC of a replacement cell
board to be incorporated to copy data from a memory of the cell board
to be removed to a memory of the replacement cell board. Besides,
when receiving a write instruction during the copying operation, the
MMCs write the same data written to the cell board subject to
replacement also to the memory of the replacement cell board. After
the copying operation has been finished, the operations of CPUs in the
partition are forcefully suspended. Subsequently, the service
processor instructs BIOS to copy inside information of the CPU in the
cell board subject to replacement into the CPU in the replacement cell
board. When the copying operation has been finished, the service
processor swaps information on the cell board subject to replacement
for information on the replacement cell board, which concern OS
control such as logical IDs stored outside the CPUs. Thus, the OS
recognizes the replacement cell board as the replaced cell board.

Abstract: An ionic polymer that binds to an ionic polymer such as DNA is identified. In
order to identify an ionic polymer that is positively charged, for example, another,
negatively charged, polymer is immobilized on a substrate or a bead. A
positively charged ionic polymer is adsorbed on the substrate or bead. When the
surrounding ionic environment is suddenly decreased, the adsorbed complex is
stabilized, whereas the structure of the immobilized, non-adsorbed ionic polymer
becomes unstable. By providing the immobilized ionic polymer with a marker
for differentiating a stable structure from an unstable one, it can be determined on
which immobilized ionic polymer the ionic polymer to be identified has been
adsorbed.
