IPC: D04H1/425
Filed: 1995-01-06
Granted: 2006-08-02
Abstract: For the manufacturing of dry-formed webs of cellulose fibres there are two different ways of binding the fibres, viz. an application of glue to the web surfaces and, respectively, an admixing into the fibre charge of heat actuated binding fibres that are actuated by passing the web through a heating zone. The latter method is the better in practice, of course, in particular for liquid absorbing products, but the problem exists that the finished material is dusting with short, unbonded fibres. According to the invention it has been realized that it is possible to widely avoid this problem by auxiliary use of the first method, modified to the effect that both surfaces of the web are concurrently subjected to a supply of a very small amount of glue in foamed condition, e.g. with only 1 gram per square meter, whereby the surfaces remain permeable, but also sealing against extrusion of short fibres from inside the web.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for measuring non-contractile oxidative metabolism in smooth muscle cells comprising providing a medium suitable for the support of oxidative metabolism, incubating a cell or tissue sample with a specimen from a patient, measuring a marker of oxidative metabolism in the incubate, and detecting an increase in oxidative metabolism which is not attributable to a contractile demand for ATP. Such an increase in oxidative metabolism will be indicative of the existence of an agent or combination of agents able to cause an increase in oxidative metabolism in smooth muscle cells, and thus provides means for diagnosing and monitoring various pathologies associated therewith.

Granted: 2008-07-09
Abstract: A tissue ablation device creates long linear lesions along a body space wall of an animal, and primarily between adjacent pulmonary vein ostia in a left atrial wall. An ablation element includes first and second ends that are bordered by first and second anchors. The anchors are adapted to secure the ablation element ends at predetermined first and second locations along the body space wall such that the ablation element is adapted to ablate an elongate region of tissue between those locations. The anchors may be guidewire tracking members, each including a bore adapted to receive and track over a guidewire, and may anchor within adjacent pulmonary vein ostia when the engaged guidewires are positioned within the respective veins. Stop members may be provided on the guidewires and may be adapted for positioning the relative anchors or for forcing the anchors to fit snugly within the vein ostia. A conduit passageway through the catheter houses a stiffening stylet which may be advanced into the region of the ablation element in order to impart a shape to that element to conform it to a predetermined region of anatomy, or to stiffen the underlying catheter in order to advance the assembly into remote anatomy.

Granted: 2007-05-16
Abstract: Sistema escáner multi-resolución para la exploración de micromatrices. Combina varios modos de exploración, con diferentes grados de resolución, para la obtención y análisis de imágenes de dispositivos micromatriciales tales como los "microarrays de ADN (Ácido desoxirribonucleico)", los "chips de ADN" o los microarrays de proteínas: su principal aplicación es la adquisición de imágenes procedentes de experimentos bioquímicos o genéticos llevados a cabo con micromatrices. Consta de un subsistema explorador a baja resolución que localiza los puntos sonda en la micromatriz y un subsistema explorador de alta resolución que lleva a cabo la exploración de zonas de interés, restringidas alrededor del punto sonda. Gran parte de la imagen de una micromatriz es fondo que no necesita ser explorado a alta resolución. La novedad de este sistema radica en que evita explorar a alta resolución toda la superficie de la micromatriz, concentrándose únicamente en las zonas que contienen información útil.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for managing traffic. The system according to the invention carries out a distributed estimate of traffic density at various points on a road and provides advance information to drivers so they may avoid hazardous situations. Said system enables the easy integration of existing safety and signal elements, constituting an alternative that is simpler, cheaper and more efficient than other current solutions based on cameras, human operators or changing message boards. The system essentially employs a plurality of nodes distributed along the road, each one of which obtains a local traffic density corresponding to the part of the road located across from said node. In addition, the system is flexible with regard to not very reliable local estimates. The invention also relates to a method for estimating traffic density from a plurality of local measurements.

Title: Treatment Of Hibernating Myocardium Or Pulmonary Congestion
Inventor: COOLIDGE THOMAS R
IPC: A61P9/00
Filed: 2004-11-11
Granted: 2007-11-01
Abstract: Hibernating myocardium is characterized by viable myocardium with impaired function due to localized reduced perfusion. Hibernating myocytes retain cellular integrity, but cannot sustain high-energy requirements of contraction. High plasma levels of catecholamines, such as norepinepherine, are believed to be predictive of mortality from hibernating myocardium. Likewise, high levels of catecholamines lead to cardiomyopathy in patients with diabetes. GLP-1 reduces plasma norepinepherine levels, and it thus is useful in a method of treating hibernating myocardium or diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Granted: 2012-02-02
Abstract: - 25 Abstract An engine (10) powered by a working fluid mixture comprising heated air under pressure and water which interact to generate superheated steam. Rapid expansion of the superheated steam is utilised to operate the engine and deliver 5 output power. The engine (10) comprises a body (11) in which is rotatably supported a central output shaft (12). The output shaft (12) comprises two shaft end sections (13) which extend from opposite ends of the body (11) for delivery of output shaft power. A flywheel (14) is supported between the two shaft sections (132). The flywheel (14) accommodates a swash plate mechanism (15) which is 10 drivingly mounted on the shaft (12). A bank of input shafts (23) is provided on each side of the swash plate mechanism (15). Each input shaft (23) comprises the piston shaft (25) of a double-headed piston structure (27) having a working piston head (29) and a pumping piston head (31) each mounted on the piston shaft (25). The double-headed piston structures (27) are each accommodated within a 15 respective cylinder (35) within the body (11). Each cylinder (35) is divided by its double-headed piston structure (27) into three chambers, being a working chamber (51), a pumping chamber (52) and a transition chamber (53). The working chamber (51) is defined between the working piston head (29) and an adjacent part (43) of the body 11. The pumping chamber (52) is defined between 20 the pumping piston head (31) and an adjacent part (39) of the body (11). The transition chamber (53) is defined between the two piston heads (29, 31). An air pressure chamber (65) is provided for accommodating pressurised air for delivery to the working chambers (51). A heater (71) is provided for heating air contained within the air pressure chamber (65). An inlet valve means (91) is associated with 25 each working chamber (51) for controlling intake air flow from the air pressure chamber (65) into the working chamber upon volume expansion of the working chamber. An exhaust valve means (103) is associated with each working chamber (51) for controlling exhaust flow from the working chamber (5)1 to the exhaust chamber (67). An air valve means (111) is provided for controlling air flow 30 from the exhaust chamber (67) into the pumping chamber (52) upon volume expansion thereof and ( 6)5 upon volume reduction of the pumping chamber (52). An injection means (150) is provided for injecting working fluid in the form of water - 26 into the working chamber (51). The injection means (150) injects a metered quality of water into the working chamber(51) as the working chamber completes a compression stroke, at which stage the air (which was previously introduced into the working chamber in a heated and pressurised state) has been further 5 compressed to significantly increase its pressure and temperature. Upon its injection, the water interacts with the heated and pressurised air to produce superheated steam which expands rapidly and causes the piston structure(27) to undergo a power stroke.
