Patent EP-1067878-A1 (EP)
Title: Anatomical fixation implant
Inventor: BURKHEAD W
IPC: A61B17/56
Filed: 1999-04-01
Abstract: A fixation implant generally includes at least one shaft configured to securely fit into a hole formed in bone. The shaft is of sufficient length relative to the interior diameter of the hole and, in some preferred embodiments, has locking protuberances, like threads, ridges, or barbs, that resist removal of the shaft from the hole in the bone when different types of forces, such as tensile or bending forces, are applied to the implant. The shaft is generally cylindrical in shape, however, in various embodiments, different cross-sections could be used. In a preferred embodiment the implant has a flattened and bent end portion emerging from only one side of the shaft. At the other side of the implant the outer surface of the shaft and the emerging end portion form a smooth surface, without any projections. This smooth surface at the end of the implant prevents irritation of the surrounding tissue. The end portion has a mating surface configured to grip a portion of the soft tissue surrounding the hole between the bone and the mating surface. The longitudinal axis of the shaft is oriented at an angle of less than 90 degrees relative to the mating surface. In this fashion, the implant anchors soft tissue, such as rotator cuff tissue, to bone.

Abstract: A telecommunications network and method for establishing a form of a meeting between a calling party (206) and a called party (201). The method includes receiving and parking an incoming call (208) within a first agent (e.g., service node), where the incoming call (208) is initiated by the calling party (206) and addressed to a second agent (e.g., mobile terminal) (202) used by the called party (201). In response to receiving the incoming call (208), a paging signal (304) is transmitted from the first agent to the second agent. The paging signal (304) is rejected to avoid setting-up a traffic channel between the first agent and the second agent. After receiving the paging signal (304), negotiating occurs between the first agent and the second agent to determine the form of the meeting based on a type of the incoming call.

Title: Protection of labile proteins during iodine disinfection
Inventor: SHANBROM EDWARD
IPC: A01N59/12
Filed: 1999-10-22
Abstract: Mixtures of iodine source resin with iodine capture resin have been found to provide effective disinfecting of protein-containing solutions such as plasma. These mixtures can be used in a chromatographic manner to effectively disinfect solutions while causing minimal damage to labile proteins such as clotting factors. Mixed resins containing equivalent amount of iodine source and iodine capture (50:50) are effective in many cases. If protein damage is still occurring, the ideal mixture may be one containing a lower amount of iodine (e.g. 25:75 or even 5:95). If disinfecting properties prove inadequate, ratios can be increased (e.g. 80:20). Surprisingly, the mixed resins also spare tissue components such as red blood cells and platelets. In some cases mixed resins are even useful in a batch procedure where the resin is removed by centrifugation or filtration at the end of a treatment period.
