Abstract: In a given design of a refrigeration system, the present invention provides a method for reducing the charge of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigeration system. The refrigeration system includes a fluid conduit through which a flammable refrigerant circulates. The fluid conduit couples, in serial order, a compressor, a first heat exchanger, an expansion device, and a second heat exchanger. The conduit defines an interior diameter, an interior surface, and a given friction factor range. The method includes the steps of reducing the interior diameter of the conduit to thereby reduce the system design refrigerant charge, and coating the interior surface of the reduced diameter conduit with a coating composition to thereby reduce the surface roughness of the interior surface and provide a friction factor for the reduced diameter conduit that is substantially within the given friction factor range.

IPC: A61N1/32

Abstract: A method and device are disclosed for monitoring and/or altering an immune function. The method uses a resonance modulating compound as a coupling agent that is capable of interacting with the immune system to monitor or stimulate immune function. The resonance modulator has inherent electromagnetic properties that attract immune cells to a target area to which the resonance modulating agent has been applied. Electromagnetic properties (such as a voltage amplitude) of the target region are altered in the presence of the resonance modulator, and serve as an indicator of immune function. An external stimulus (such as an applied electromagnetic field) can also be applied to the resonance modulator to enhance its immune stimulating and attractant properties. Particular examples of the resonance modulator are aryl hydrazones that possess the desired electrical/magnetic properties that allow it to function as a sensor/modulator. The resonance modulator may be, for example, 4,4'-dihydroxybenzophenone-2,4-dinitro-phenylhydrazone (A-007) or 2,6-Dibenzylidenecyclohexanone-2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (BDP-DNP). These substances possesses resonating intramolecular dipole movements that are capable of electrostatic interaction with biological environments. The described aryl nitrohydrazones have the ability to interact with populations of cells with emergent behavioral characteristics associated with chemical, biological and radiation changes and injury. The disclosure also provides numerous other examples of resonance modulating agents, and provides attributes of these agents and assays for identifying additional resonance modulating agents.

Inventor: ZIMMERMAN MARK
IPC: C07K16/00
Filed: 2004-08-27
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of using function blocking tissue factor antibodies to enhance graft survival in mammals. Function blocking antibodies having the effect of blocking activated tissue factor (TF), TF and its Logan FVII as either the inactive TF:FVII or active TF:FVIIa complex, or block the formation f the TF:FVIIa:FX ternary complex are useful in the method.

Title: Drum structure for rotary drum filtering apparatus and methods of using same
Inventor: GRACE TODD S
IPC: B01D33/067
Filed: 2006-06-07
Abstract: A drum structure for corrugated type rotary filters has relatively high filtering efficiency and relatively low manufacturing and/or installation costs.  More specifically, a corrugated deck section is rigidly connected to a rotary drum structure by means of solid non-apertured divider grids which establish a drain channel. The drain channel is subdivided into respective compartments by means of intermediate solid non-apertured grids which are unconnected to the corrugated deck, but provide subjacent radial support thereto. Drainage slits are provided in the corrugated deck in alignment with each of the compartments. Plug dams are provided in the corrugation spaces between the upper edge of the intermediate grids and the lower corrugated deck surface so as to prevent substantially filtrate flow between individual compartments. Filtrate may thus flow through the drainage slits and into a respective one of the compartments where it can then subsequently be drained transversely and longitudinally into a respective port associated with the drum filter.

Abstract: MicroRNA genes are highly associated with chromosomal features involved in the etiology of different cancers. The perturbations in the genomic structure or chromosomal architecture of a cell caused by these cancer-associated chromosomal features can affect the expression of the miR genes) located in close proximity to that chromosomal feature. Evaluation of miR gene expression can therefore be used to indicate the presence of a cancer~causing chromosomal lesion in a subject. As the change in miR gene expression level caused by a cancer-associated chromosomal feature may also contribute to cancerigenesis, a given cancer fan be treated by restoring the level of miR gene expression to normal.
