Patent GB-2351296-A (GB)
Title: Keratinocyte stem cells
Inventor: KAUR PRITINDER
IPC: C12N5/02
Filed: 1999-03-18
Abstract: Enrichment for human Keratinocyte Stem Cells KSCs to a high degree of purity can be successfully achieved on the basis of a cell surface component whose expression is proliferation-related in conjunction with an integrin such as the   a  <SB>6</SB>
<SB>4</SB> integrin. Transferrin receptor may be used as the cell surface component that is proliferation related. Enrichment of Transit amplifying cells can also be achieved by use of a variation of this method. The enrichment follows on from harvesting of cells from an epithelium, preferably rich in stem cells.

Title: Improving the linearity and efficiency of an amplifier by adjusting a bias current in accordance with leakage to an adjacent channel
Inventor: DOMOKOS JOHN
IPC: H03F1/02
Filed: 2000-12-02
Abstract: The invention relates to power amplifier control circuits; especially such circuits as are intended to maintain substantially linear operation, with good efficiency, of RF amplifiers used in mobile communications systems utilising linear modulation schemes. It addresses the difficulties associated with, on the one hand, operating the amplifier with a highly linear characteristic, necessary to conform with standards laid down for mobile communications systems and which specify a minimum acceptable value of Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) to avoid causing interference to other users, whilst, on the other hand, avoiding the use of a large bias current which adversely affects battery lifetime. Accordingly, the invention provides, for a power amplifier subject to a prescribed value of Adjacent Channel Power ratio (ACPR), a closed loop control system in which the output ACPR is measured and the bias current adjusted to maintain a predetermined ACPR value, thereby permitting the power amplifier to operate at the lower limit of the acceptable ACPR.

Title: Method for optimizing radiaition treatment by selecting the sequence of treatment fields
Inventor: SIOCHI RAMON ALFREDO CARVALHO
IPC: G21K1/04
Filed: 2001-08-21
Abstract: A method for sequencing treatment fields defined by leaves of a multi-leaf collimator (80) positioned to block radiation from a radiation source and define an opening between the radiation source and a treatment area (T). The multi-leaf collimator is operable to rotate relative to the treatment area to define a plurality of treatment ports (A, B, C). Each of the ports has at least one treatment field. The method includes ordering the collimator ports based on direction of travel of the collimator relative to the treatment area such that each port has at least one corresponding adjacent port. The method further includes selecting a sequence of treatment fields for each collimator port based on the treatment fields within adjacent ports to optimize delivery of radiation. Optimizing the sequence of the treatment fields from port to port prevents unnecessary leaf movement, reduces treatment time and reduces wear on the collimator thus increasing its life.

Title: A plastic injection punchless file
Inventor: LIM SOON HUAT
IPC: B42F7/14
Filed: 2002-09-25
Abstract: The punchless file is made by plastic injection. Its accessories are made of plastic or metal. It is not necessary to punch or perforate the documents, or insert them in punched pockets, because they are retained by a stopper or clamp (a). Documents are aligned in the file against side guides (c) by moveable guide (b). These guides, and sidewalls (g), limit movement of the documents. When a document is removed from a stack in the file, its position may be marked by separator (d) to facilitate its replacement in its correct position. A protrusion (e) aids the user to lift the bottom sheet. When closed, the file fully encloses its contents. It is retained closed by two locking devices ( (h) figure 2(b)). Stacking of similar files is facilitated by studs ((i) figure 2(b)).

Filed: 2002-11-06
Abstract: A communication system for human communication comprises a sending computer system 11 , a receiving computer system 21a and a translation web site (31 fig 3). The sending system 11 is arranged, when sending a communication, to determine a first human perceptible language associated with the sender and a second human perceptible language associated with the recipient and, if the first and second languages are different, to send the communication to the translation system (31 fig 3) for translation. The address of the receiving system is sent with the communication. The diverted communication is translated, and forwarded by the translation system (31 fig 3) to the receiving system. If the first and second languages are the same, the communication is sent by the sending system 11 directly to the receiving system 21a. The receiving system checks the language of incoming communications against that of the recipient and, if necessary, sends the communication to the translation site (31 fig 3) for translation and return.

Title: Coupling an expandable liner to a wellbore casing
Inventor: COOK ROBERT LANCE
IPC: E21B43/10
Filed: 2001-07-27
Abstract: A method couples a tubular liner 250 to a cased section 110 within a wellbore 100, where the wellbore includes an uncased section proximate the cased section. The method is suitable where the wellbore traverses a porous subterranean formation 120, and the operating pressure of the wellbore is greater than the operating pressure of the subterranean zone. The method comprises positioning the liner 250 and an expansion cone 220 within the wellbore; overlapping a portion of the liner with the cased section; and radially expanding the liner using the expansion cone. An equal distribution of expansion stresses is applied to the interior surface of the portion of the liner that does not overlap with the cased section of the wellbore. The expansion cone may be actuated by increasing fluidic pressure within the liner region 275 or may be characterised by an expansion cone launcher 230 including a shoe 240 and valveable passage 245. The system mitigates any tendency for the liner to adhere to under-pressurised sections of the formation.
