Abstract: A microscope slide cassette for use with specimen handling apparatus. A  plurality of opposed pairs of shelves carried by the side walls of the cassette are adapted to support specimen slides by their ends in the cassette.  The shelves have a top surface on which a specimen slide can rest, and a resilient bottom surface configured to pinch the slide below against the shelf below to frictionally retain the pinched slide in the cassette. The bottom surface may comprise a spring. An inclined shelf lead-in ramp guides slides during insertion. Drainage ports in the side walls above and/or below the shelves make the cassette well suited for use in staining baths. Two laterally spaced racks on the rear wall, vertically spaced indexing marks corresponding to each slide position, and a sensor window at each slide position make the cassette well-suited for use in automated slide cassette handling mechanisms.  The cassette is stackable with others for compact storage.

Abstract: Tables are defined to permit output masking for table look-ups to be carried out to resist power analysis attacks on cryptographic operations. A set of individually defined random values is used to mask each entry in a substitution table, defining a masked substitution table. A mask table is also defined such that the values of each entry, masked with the corresponding random value, is the value of a fixed mask. The masked substitution tables and the mask tables may be used in cryptographic operations to permit the output of table look-ups to be masked, without directly using the fixed mask value in the computations of the cryptographic operations.

Title: A chronic joint inflammation-modulating composition made of collagen-polyvinylpyrrolidone
Inventor: KROTZSCH GOMEZ FERNANDO EDGAR
IPC: A61P29/00
Filed: 2005-05-25
Granted: 2014-12-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a chronic articular inflammation-modulating composition which uses collagen-polyvinylpyrrolidone. Collagen turnover is modulated using collagen-PVP in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, since the biocomplex negatively regulates collagenolytic activity and increases the content of type III collagen and TIMP-1 to levels similar to those observed in normal synovia. In this way, the chronic inflammatory process is altered by the collagen-PVP, as described above, owing to the negative regulation of IL-1, the TNF- of IL-8 and the adhesion molecules, since said molecules can induce the expression and activation of collagenolytic enzymes, as well as the proliferation and migration of synovial cells by means of the adhesive mechanisms including the adhesion molecules, and the induction and activation of Cox-1. In addition to cellular anchoring, the interaction of the extracellular matrix integrins generates signals which regulate the expression of MMPs, suggesting that the adhesion molecules can also play a part in tissue destruction associated with rheumatoid arthritis.  Moreover, the decrease in the synthesis of TNF- and IL-1 appears to stimulate the cell death of synoviocytes by means of apoptosis, which, in turn, seems to contribute to the inhibition of the proliferation of synovial cells, the formation of pannus and the destruction of the articular tissue.

Abstract: A token calculates a one time password by generating a HMAC-SHA-1 value based upon a key K and a counter value C, truncating the generated HMAC~-SHA-1 value modulo 10~Digit, where Digit is the number of digits in the one time password.  The one time password can be validated by a validation server that calculates its own version of the password using K and its own counter value C'. If there is an initial mismatch, the validation server compensate for a lack of synchronization between counters C and C' within a look-ahead window, whose size can be set by a parameter s.
