Inventor: QUAY STEVEN C
IPC: A61M1/06
Filed: 2001-11-13
Abstract: Non-invasive methods are provided for obtained biological samples of mammary fluid or mammary fluid components from a patient using a breast pump device (10) incorporating or coupled with a solid phase sample collection medium (38). Use of the breast pump device stimulates expression of mammary fluid from patients, which provides for collection of diagnostic samples to evaluate breast disease, including cancer, in the patient. Methods for using the device optionally incorporate induction of mammary fluid expression by administration of oxytocin analog to the patient to stimulate myoepithelial contraction of the mammary alveolar glands. During or after mammary fluid expression, a biological sample is collected in the form of whole mammary fluid, whole cells or cellular components, other selected liquid or solid fractions of the mammary fluid, purified or bulk proteins, glycoproteins, peptides, nucleotides or other desired constituents of mammary fluid. Methods and kits are also provided for determining the presence or amount of a breast disease marker in biological samples of mammary fluid or mammary fluid components obtained according to the above sample collection methods. Also provided within the invention are novel breast pump and breast pump adapter devices that incorporate a solid phase sample collection medium integrated within the breast pump or adapter or otherwise fluidly connected therewith. These devices collect a sample of expressed breast fluid by contacting the fluid with a solid phase sample collection medium while the pump or adapter is applied to the breast. Yet additional methods, devices accessories, and material are provided for laboratory handling and processing of breast fluid samples and diagnostic methods related thereto. Among these are specially adapted fluid retaining reservoirs (30) for use within a breast fluid collection pump of the invention which are useful within a variety of mammary fluid collection, sample handling and sample processing methods.

Abstract: Described is a system and method for receiving and distributing
messages within a mobile device using multiple communication protocols. The
invention provides a method for centrally controlling data flow throughout the
communication system. The invention provides a means to receive a message over a
communications medium, translate it to a first format for general use and further
translate it to a second format for data storage. In one implementation, a data
storage component communicates with an application, a form, a transport, and a data
store. The application, the form, and the transport each communicate with the
storage component by passing properties of a message to the storage component in a
first format. The storage component translates the properties from the first format to
a second format. The storage component then stores the translated properties in the
data store in the second format.

Abstract: This invention describes a practical application of
noise reduction in hearing aids. Although listening in
noisy conditions is difficult for persons with normal
hearing, hearing impaired individuals are at a
considerable further disadvantage. Under light noise
condition, conventional hearing aids simplify the input
signal sufficiently to overcome the hearing loss. For a
typical sloping hearing loss where there is a loss in
high frequency hearing sensitivity, the amount of boost
(or gain) rises with frequency. Most frequently, the
loss in sensitivity is only for low-level signals; high
level signals are affective minimally or not at all. A
compression hearing aid is able to compensate by
automatically lowering the gain as the input signal level
rises. This compression action is usually compromised
under noisy conditions. In general, hearing aids are of
lesser benefit under noisy conditions since both noise
and speech are boosted together when what is really
required is a reduction of the noise relative to the
speech. A noise reduction algorithm with the dual
purpose of enhancing speech relative to noise and also
providing a relatively clean signal for the compression
circuitry is described.
