Abstract: In order to provide a liner which can be used in place of existing type liners used in a closure for a container, a multiple layer liner sheet is coextruded in a manner wherein the outer layers are skin layers formed of a gas permeable material. These layers enclose a gas barrier layer and a foamed layer which respectively prevent the invasion of oxygen from the ambient atmosphere and remove oxygen from the head space to safeguard the contents of the container. The foamed layer provides the liner with the required resiliency, provides space for the inclusion of an adequate amount of oxygen scavenging material, and also provides a cellular structure which allows the gas molecules the freedom to move and quickly come into contact with the oxygen scavenging material. As the gas barrier layer is formed of a material which does not readily become permanently attached to the material from which the foam layer and skin layers are formed, tie layers of adhesive are formed on either side of the gas barrier layer to ensure integrity when the coextruded sheet is formed into individual liners.

Abstract: The apparatus provides for the determination of the instantaneous phase in the respiratory cycle, subject's average respiration rate and the provision of ventilatory assistance. A microprocessor receives an airflow signal from a pressure transducer coupled to a port at a mask.    The microprocessor controls a servo that in turn controls the fan motor and thus the pressure of air delivered by the blower. The blower is coupled to a subject's mask by a conduit. The invention seeks to address the following goals: while the subject is awake and making substantial efforts the delivered assistance should be closely matched in phase with the subject's efforts; the machine should automatically adjust the degree of assistance to maintain at least a specified minimum ventilation without relying on the integrity of the subject's chemoreflexes; and it should continue to work correctly in the presence of large leaks.

Abstract: The identification and characterization of risk factors and their molecular implications in the pathophysiology of human diseases such as cancer is essential for designing efficient diagnostic assays and therapeutic compounds. Estrogenic steroids, under normal physiological conditions, have been shown to play a critical function in several tissues. The response of such a variety of tissues to estrogen stimulation can explain in part its active role in the development and progression of different human diseases, particularly breast cancer. Searching for estrogen-responding cellular factors in parental cells of primary human breast carcinomas obtained from tumour biopsies, two cellular markers, an isoenzyme of putative leucine aminopeptidase (LAPase; EC 3.4.11.1) from parental cells of primary humor breast carcinomas obtained from tumour biopsies, and cytosolic NDP-Kinase/Nm23 (EC 2.7.4.6) from HL60 cells were identified. Monoclonal antibodies against each cellular marker have been produced. Determination of the presence of these two markers, either alone or in combination, can be used to detect breast cancer, and in particular, associated metastatis. Thus, this invention refers to the use of both LAP and NDP-Kinase/Nm23 monoclonal antibodies together in a tandem solid-matrix based immuno-assay for first line confimatory blood-based testing for breast cancer.

Title: Suturing device for sealing an opening in a blood vessel
Inventor: NOBLES ANTHONY A
IPC: A61B17/00

Granted: 2006-12-05
Abstract: A suturing device (520) allows a physician to remotely seal an incision (26) in a blood vessel (16) or other biological tissue. The device (520) comprises an elongated tubular body (514, 515) having a distal portion (515, 522) which is adapted to be inserted percutaneously through the incision (26) and into the blood vessel (16). The distal portion (515, 522) has at least first and second retractable arms (524, 525, 525', 630, 630', 660, 662) which extend from the distal portion (515, 522) of the body (514, 515) and releasably hold a suture (40) within the blood vessel (16). First and second retractable needles (546, 650), each of which is configured to catch the suture (40) from a respective arm (524, 525, 525', 630, 630', 660, 662), are provided along the body (514, 515) proximal to retractable arms (524, 525, 525', 630, 630', 660, 662). The arms (524, 525, 525', 630, 630', 660, 662) and the needles (546, 650) are remotely movable by the physician using a handle (550, 600, 700) or other control mechanism provided at a distal portion of the device (520). In operation, the arms (524, 525, 525', 630, 630', 660, 662) are initially deployed within the blood vessel (16) to hold the ends of the suture (40) beyond the circumference of the tubular body (514, 515). The needles (546, 650) are then deployed from and then retracted into the body (514, 515), during which time the needles (546, 650) pierce the wall (22) of the vessel (16) on substantially opposite sides of the incision (26), release the suture end from the retractable arms (524, 525, 525', 630, 630', 660, 662), and pull the suture (40) through the vessel wall (22). The device (520) is particularly useful for closing and incision (22) in an artery following a catheterization procedure. In one embodiment, the catheter sheath introducer (6) used to perform the catheterization procedure is left in place during the suturing procedure.

Abstract: A number of algorithms have been used in prior art for dealing with overload situations in ATM transmission systems. The PPD and LPD algorithms are examples of known methods. When the PPD method is used, the dynamic load to which the ATM network is subjected is still too great since not all of the ATM cells can be rejected. Those ATM  cells which do not belong to a frame also pose a problem in the rejection process. The invention solves this problem by establishing rules which when applied, ensure that the PPD method is only used within very strict limits and that those ATM cells not belonging to a frame are not rejected.

Abstract: A wireless location system receives signals transmitted by wireless telephone at a plurality of signal collection sites (scs 10A, SCS 10B, SCS 10C). To improve the accuracy of the location information, the system synthesizes greater band-width, and thus greater time resolution, than would otherwise be available. The location system commands an MTSO to make the wireless transmitter to be located change frequency channels, and a doubly-differenced carrier phase of the transmitted signal, or the time difference of arrival, is observed at each of many frequencies spanning the widest possible bandwidth. The phase-measurement data from these many frequencies are combined to resolve the inherent integer-wavelength ambiguity. To begin the process of ambiguity resolution, single-frequency channel, doubly-differenced group delay measurements are used to resolve the ambiguity in the doubly-differenced phase difference between the most closely spaced frequency channels.
