Abstract: A schematic generator for use in a process control network, in which control functions are implemented by field devices interconnected at various and distributed locations on a bus, polls each of the field devices to retrieve information pertaining to the identify of the device, the identity of the control functions associated with the device, the manner in which the device communicates with other devices with respect to each of the control functions associated with that device, the timing associated with the execution of each of the control functions of that device and the timing of the communication activities associated with each of the control functions of that device. The schematic generator then analyses the retrieved data to identify the manner in which the devices are physically connected on the bus and the manner in which the different control functions are interconnected over the bus to perform process control loops within the process control network. Thereafter, the schematic generator creates one or more schematics, such a maintenance schematic illustrating the physical layout of the field devices in the process control network, a control loop schematic illustrating the interconnections between functions within one or more of the devices that form a control loop, and a timing schematic illustrating the timing of or the amount of communications occurring on the bus.

Title: Methods for decreasing .beta.-amyloid protein
Inventor: YANKNER BRUCE A
IPC: A61P25/28
Filed: 1999-03-23
Abstract: Blood cholesterol levels are correlated with production of amyloid .beta. protein ((A).beta.), and are predictors of populations at risk of developing AD. Methods for lowering blood cholesterol levels can be used to decrease production of A.beta., thereby decreasing the risk of developing AD. The same methods and compositions can also be used for treating individuals diagnosed with AD. Methods include administration of compounds which increase uptake of cholesterol by the liver, such as the administration of HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, administration of compounds which block endogenous cholesterol production, such as the administration of HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, administration of compositions which prevent uptake of dietary cholesterol, and administration of combinations of any of these which are effective to lower blood cholesterol levels. Methods have also been developed to predict populations at risk, based on the role of cholesterol in production of A.beta.. For example, individuals with Apo E4 and high cholesterol, defined as a blood cholesterol level of greater than 200 mg/dl, post menopausal women with high cholesterol levels - especially those who are not taking estrogen, or individuals with high blood cholesterol levels who are not obese are all at risk of developing AD if blood cholesterol levels are not decreased.

Abstract: The invention includes of a system and method of ultrasonically perforating adhesive bandage backings. The invention eliminates the gap between the ultrasonic horn and the pin roll, and provides for a wear resistant release coating on the pin roll. Further, the method and system disclose cooling the ultrasonic horn with a forced air stream, and provide for a pre- or post-nip roll to control the tension of the continuous web of backing. The web of backing is kept under tension with a nip roll, and passes between an ultrasonic horn and an immediately adjacent pin roll for perforation by the ultrasonic horn. The resulting material of the web backing is smoother, and has better hole quality than that seen in the prior art.

Patent CA-2335957-A1 (CA)
Title: Medical device with elastomeric bulb
Inventor: EVANS DAVID
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 1999-06-25
Abstract: In a pre-filled Foley catheter for urine drainage, the conventional clip for releasing sterile water from a bulb (21) at the proximal end of the catheter, to fill the anchor bulb (20) at the distal end of the device, is replaced by a plug (25) which has an annular portion connected to a thin stem (27) by a circle of weakness. Snapping the stem (27) from the annulus provides a tactile signal through the opaque latex lumen that the catheter has been actuated.  There is no separate clip to be disposed of. The interface between the latex and the plug remains undisturbed. Further improvement in the shelf-life and convenience of use of the catheter is delivered by the use of a sleeve, which can be of shrink-wrap material, around the bulb (21) and optionally also around the drain coupling (15) of the catheter. Apparatus for placing the plug and the sleeve is also described.

Title: High power laterally antiguided semiconductor light source with reduced transverse optical confinement
Inventor: PETRESCU-PRAHOVA IULIAN BASARA
IPC: H01S5/40
Filed: 1999-07-14
Abstract: A semiconductor structure for use as a laser or amplifier has a multilayer structure including a substrate, an active region, optical confinement and cladding layers on each side of the active region to surround the active region. The structure includes at least one core element at which light emission occurs and interelement regions laterally adjacent to the core element with the effective refractive index of the interelement regions higher than that of the core element to provide antiguiding of light emitted in the core element. The optical confinement and cladding layers on opposite sides of the active region have different indexes of refraction to provide an optical waveguiding structure in the transverse direction in the core element which is asymmetrical and which favors lasing only in the fundamental transverse mode.  The structure allows larger core elements to be utilized than otherwise possible and results in a significantly increased light emission spot size enabling much higher emission power levels for lasers and higher saturation power levels for amplifiers.
