Inventor: SELLE HARTMUT
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2002-05-08
Abstract: The invention relates to defined peptides and the quantitative determination thereof in body fluids of patients suffering from progredient chronic dementia, in relation to the concentration of said peptides in a control group. The inventive peptides come from a protein precursor having the corresponding gene, are processed in a specific manner, and are optionally post-translationally modified, especially phosphorylised. An increase in the concentrations of these peptides or the corresponding non-processed protein indicates progredient chronic dementia. Progredient chronic dementia is detected by identifying the peptides and/or the protein individually or in combinations. The invention also relates to the use of said peptides for controlling the course of progredient chronic dementia and for the prognosis of progredient chronic dementia, especially for complementing or replacing mini-mental scores, and for developing therapeutic agents to combat progredient chronic dementia such as Alzheimer's disease.

Title: Delivery vehicles for environmental remediants
Inventor: MALLOUK THOMAS E
IPC: C02F1/70
Filed: 2002-08-02
Abstract: The invention provides novel environmental remediants and methods for remediating contaminated soils, earth, ground, or groundwater, particularly subsurface sites. The environmental remediants comprise a chemically or biologically active material, in the form of a particle which are on average less than about one micron, and a carrier which is interactive with an environmentally acceptable solvent. The carrier is capable of maintaining the particles in a persistent suspension which can permeate soil pores due to its small size, thereby delivering the remediant to the subsurface contamination.  Significant advantages over prior art methods, particularly for metallic nanoparticles, are avoiding agglomeration, ease of application, and delivery to subsurface sites. Methods are provided which comprise selecting an appropriate environmental remediant and contacting a subsurface soil or water with the remediant; by applying the remediant in a composition with a carrier, wherein the remediant transits to the subsurface site.

Abstract: With known systems, when performing analysis of data, users typically have a solution-oriented view: there is a problem, and data has been collected with a view to providing some information about the problem. Usually a method is selected, based on vague knowledge about some feature of the problem. This is often sub-optimal, because the user can be assumed to be an expert in the application area, but not in data analysis. Embodiments of the invention provide a means of characterising data analysis methods in terms of tangible and non-tangible parameters such as user-friendliness, accuracy, simplicity, interpretability, speed, cost, comprehensibility, and transparency, and then matching these to some pre-specified requirements. This means is provided by a method of selecting a data analysis method in accordance with a user preference, wherein the user preference relates to a feature of the data analysis method and is represented by a fuzzy set comprising a range of values. The method comprises the following steps: (i) using the user preference to identify one or more rules corresponding to the user preference, each rule comprising at least one fuzzy set that relates features of data analysis methods to data analysis characteristics; (ii) evaluating the or each identified rule, thereby identifying an instance of a data analysis characteristic associated with the identified rule, the instance comprising a fuzzy set having a range of values; (iii) accessing a plurality of data analysis methods, each of which has a plurality of data analysis characteristics, wherein each of which data analysis characteristics is characterised by a fuzzy set having a range of values; and (iv) comparing the data analysis characteristics associated with the accessed data analysis methods with the data analysis characteristic instance in order to identify a data analysis method that matches the user preference.

Title: Non-invasive method and apparatus for treating orthostatic hypotension
Inventor: MCLEOD KENNETH J
IPC: A61H23/00
Filed: 2002-10-09
Abstract: A non-invasive method and apparatus are provided for treating orthostatic hypotension and for reducing the effects caused there from. An increase in blood and fluid flow in the lower extremities is achieved by vibrating the lower body of the individual at a frequency in the range of 10-l20Hz. The apparatus includes a strap for being secured to a body part of the individual's lower extremities, e.g., the sole of one's foot, and a displacement sensor which senses any movement of the body part. The displacement sensor continuously sends signals to a processor of the apparatus which indicate whether there was any movement of the body part. If the displacement sensor did not sense any substantial movement of the body part for a predetermined period of time the processor sends a signal to a vibrating mechanism. The signal activates the vibrating mechanism causing vibration of the body part for increasing blood and fluid flow in the lower extremities.  The vibrating mechanism causes vibration for a predetermined period of time.

Title: Magnetic tape cartridge and recorder/reproducer of magnetic tape cartridge
Inventor: SATO SATOSHI
IPC: G11B23/107
Filed: 2003-01-20
Abstract: A magnetic tape cartridge and its recorder/reproducer in which a magnetic head can be protected against damage by suppressing charging of a magnetic tape while lowering the resistance thereof and sustaining high electromagnetic conversion characteristics. A tape reel (7) is formed of a conductive material and the surface resistivity ~.OMEGA./sq~ at one end part of a magnetic tape (6) being connected to its reel hub (7B) is set not higher than 107. Since the magnetic tape (6) has a multilayer structure of a magnetic layer (23), a nonmagnetic conductor layer (22), a plastic film (21) and a back coat layer (24) formed from the magnetic face (6M) side, the exposed nonmagnetic conductor layer (22) is connected to a reel hub (7A) even when the surface resistivity of the magnetic layer (23) exceeds 107.OMEGA./sq by removing the magnetic layer (23). Consequently, the resistance of the magnetic tape is lowered while sustaining high electromagnetic conversion characteristics.

Title: Imaging system, image conversion system and image-editing device
Inventor: SAKAI AKIHIRA
IPC: G11B27/031
Filed: 2003-03-17
Abstract: When an image signal, which was picked up in a 24 frames/second image format and temporarily recorded on a temporary recording device, is read in a 60 fields/second image format, the image signal is subjected to a 2:3:2:3 pull-down conversion process so that it becomes possible to omit compressing/expanding processes. At this time, the reading operation is controlled on the basis of the figure of time codes so that the pull-down conversion system at the time of a joining image-pickup process is maintained. In this case, by properly switching controlling methods among a plurality of pull-down controlling methods, it is possible to achieve an image conversion system capable of providing an optimal image conversion process in accordance with desired image-pickup purposes and editing processes.

Title: Method and device for placing dental implants
Inventor: TARDIEU PHILIPPE
IPC: A61C8/00
Filed: 2003-02-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for placing implants (1) using a surgical template (11) which is made from tomographic cuts in the patient's jawbone (7). According to the invention, step drills (4) and calibrating drills (5), having a single standard diameter for each type of implant (1), are guided through drill bushings (18) which are inserted into bores (15) in the template (11) in order to produce any drilling sequence corresponding to an implant plan. The penetration depth of the drills (4, 5) is controlled by the height of the bores (15) or by the drill rings (21). The aforementioned template (11) bores (15) serve as a guide for the precise placement of the implants (1) owing to the adapted implant supports (3). Moreover, washers (23), which are mounted around the implant supports (3), limit compression i n relation to the implants (1) while said implants are being placed (20). The above-mentioned characteristics serve to limit the required number of drills (4, 5) and implant supports (3) to the longest models only. The inventive method and device are particularly suitable for computer-assisted implantolo gy systems.
