Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of ligands for the Flk-1 receptor for the modulation of angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. The invention is based, in part, on the demonstration that Flk-1 tyrosine kinase receptor expression is associated with endothelial cells and the identification of vascular endothelial growth factor ("VEGF) as the high affinity ligand of Flk-1. These results indicate a major role for Flk-1 in the signaling system during vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. Engineering of host cells that express Flk-1 and the uses of expressed Flk-1 to evaluate and screen for drugs and analogs of VEGF involved in Flk-1 modulation by either agonist or antagonist activities is described. The invention also relates to the use of FLK-1 ligands, including VEGF agonists and antagonists. in the treatment of disorders, including cancer, by modulating vasculogenesis and angiogenesis.

Granted: 2007-07-03
Abstract: The in vivo chemotherapeutic treatment of cancer cells in a living animal is improved by first administering to the animal, a compound which inhibits normal cell proliferation while promoting malignant cell proliferation, specifically a potent antagonist selective for intracellular histamine receptors, in an amount sufficient to inhibit the binding of intracellular histamine to the receptors in normal and malignant cells.  An enhanced toxic effect on the cancer cells from the chemotherapeutic agent is obtained while any adverse effect of the chemotherapeutic agent on normal cells, particularly bone marrow and gastro-intestinal cells, is inhibited. Certain fluoro derivatives useful in such procedure are novel compounds.

Abstract: High sheet count rolls of spot-embossed, soft bathroom tissue suffer from embossing patterns becoming pressed out by the high winding tension necessary to confine the size of the roll to a diameter of about 5 inches.      This size is necessary in order for such high sheet count rolls to fit within the bathroom tissue dispensers found in most households. However, by embossing the tissue between a resilient back-up roll and an engraved embossing roll having short male embossing element heights of only from about 0.005 to about 0.035 inch, the tissue sheet becomes simultaneously calendered, which lowers the sheet caliper (as measured under a compressive load). Because of the resulting lower caliper, the embossed sheet can be wound into the required roll size with less tension on the sheet, such that the embossing pattern for tissue sheets within the roll remains well defined.

Abstract: A method and device for the automated biopsy and collection of soft tissue h aving a piercing needle with a receiving port to trap tissue prior to cutting. A motor drive directs and positions the tissue rece iving port at a lesion site in arbitrary positions about  and along the longitudinal axis of the device. A cutter advances into the receiving ch amber and severs tissue which has prolapsed into the rec eiving port. The severed tissue is then removed from the receiving port without rem oving the piercing needle receiving port from the lesion  site, thus allowing for the accurate, rapid removal of an arbitrary number of core  samples with only one insertion. A tissue sample casset te provides storage for the samples as well as means for coding and decoding th e location from which the samples were obtained. Togethe r, these features allow for more accurate and complete sampling of large lesion s, for the complete removal of small lesions or removal of other tissue for a variety of reasons.

Granted: 2001-12-04
Abstract: Methods for separating target particles from a test medium in which the particles are suspended. The method contemplates utilization of blocking or masking particles which block or mask unwanted biological debris which tends to interfere with formation of complexes by which the target particles can be isolated. After centrifugation, the masking particles create a barrier between unwanted debris and test medium containing the target particles which permits the particles to be manipulated or modified without removing them from the debris. In a preferred aspect, magnetic separation techniques are used. In this aspect, non-magnetic 0.04 micron carboxylated polystyrene blocking particles are employed.

Abstract: A    distributed    method    for    creating telecommunications paths in a network, particularly after a span failure. The network includes plural distinct nodes interconnected by plural distinct spans, each span having working links and spare links. Each node has a digital cross-connect switch for making and breaking connections between adjacent spans forming span pairs at a node. At least  one  of  the  end nodes  of  a path to be  created broadcasts statelets. Each intermediate node between the end nodes broadcasts incoming statelets in a manner that favours use of restoration paths that eliminate the fewest other paths.  Statelets  that  have traversed spans with greater spare capacity, considering the number of statelets competing  to  be  broadcast   along  the   spans,   are preferentially broadcast.

Abstract: The Ice_Hockey_Puck_Scoring_System (IHPSS) is an electronics device applying the technology of ferroelectric materials - Lead Lanthanum Titanate (PLT), Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) and Lead Magnesium Niobate (PMN) - to provide the accuracy of the puck crossing the 2" of the Three Dimensional Goal Line Volume Area (3DGLVA) in within less than 1E-3m in all circumstances occurring in the professional games - interferences of bodies, gloves and any open metals. The puck velocities are determined when it crosses the 3DGLVA. The IHPSS operates in DC electric fields using cubic-conductors Aji, Cji, Bji and Dji with ferroelectric layers. The theories developed permit to obtain any theoretical capacitance values (Farads). The mentioned ferroelectric materials permit to obtain the capacitance larger than 10µF to comply with the selected Op-Amp current source. The quiescent beaming electric fields Aji to Cji through the electrets, distributed inside the puck, will provoke a variation in potential energy and thus the puck is detected
