Abstract: On décrit un procédé de titrage diagnostique et des trousses de réactifs permettant de quantifier in vitro dans des spécimens biologiques l'activité de protéines MDR (responsables de la résistance multiple aux anticancéreux). Ce procédé repose sur la mesure du taux d'accumulation d'un composé dans des cellules d'un spécimen (de préférence par mesure de fluorescence). Ce composé ne représente pas un bon substrat pour la protéine MDR présente dans l'échantillon, ne pénètre pas dans les cellules et se forme dans ces cellules, grâce à des enzymes qui y sont généralement présentes, à partir d'un composé qui est un bon substrat pour la protéine MDR, pénètre dans les cellules, et est ajouté au spécimen in vitro. Selon ce procédé, on peut calculer une valeur d'un facteur d'activité MDR caractéristique de l'activité MDR, dans une fourchette appropriée du point de vue diagnostique, et donc du niveau de résistance multiple aux anticancéreux du spécimen.

Abstract: Système de traitement d'information (100) à processeurs multiples possédant un bus de système (110) comportant des modules de mémoire imbriqués (130, 135) en communication avec des processeurs centraux (CPU) multiples (120, 125). Ce système à processeurs multiples comprend un circuit de contrôle de sous-système qui contrôle les adresses demandées par le CPU local. Si celui-ci accède à un module de mémoire différent du dernier module auquel il a eu accès, le circuit de contrôle de sous-système déclenche une demande, afin de conserver la commande du bus de système. De ce fait, les opérations consécutives de consultation et de mise à jour sont effectuées vers des modules de mémoire imbriqués, de façon à minimiser les effets du temps de récupération du module. Le circuit de contrôle de sous-système comprend un registre de comptage de transfert indiquant le nombre de cycles de transfert de données pouvant s'effectuer successivement avant que le CPU local doive renoncer à commander le bus de système. Ceci permet d'assurer un arbitrage équitable parmi les autres CPU en compétition pour prendre la commande du bus de système.

Title: Cross-linked cellulose as a tablet excipient
Inventor: CARTILIER LOUIS
IPC: A61K9/20
Filed: 1997-10-24
Granted: 2005-09-20
Abstract: Cross-linked cellulose is an excellent binder disintegrant that can be used in the preparation of pharmaceutical tablets. The tablets that are so prepared are made of a compressed mixture of a powder of a pharmaceutically active ingredient with a powder of a pharmaceutical excipient including a pharmaceutically acceptable form of cross-linked cellulose in an amount up to 35% by weight with respect to the total weight of the tablet. The cross-linked cellulose is prepapred by cross-linking microcrystalline or fibrous cellulose with a cross-linking agent such as epichlorhydrin in a relative amount of 2 to 50 g of cross-linking agent per 100 g of cellulose. Tests have proved that cross-linked cellulose is very easy to synthetise and has excellent binding/disintegrating properties that are function of the cross-linking degree. At low cross-linking degree, cross-linked cellulose is more a binder than a disintegrant whereas at high cross-linking degree, it is more a disintegrant than a binder.

Abstract: A golf club shaft (2) is described which has an upper grip portion (4) with significantly greater diameter than the largest diameter of the lower power portion (6), with the two portions joined by an S-shaped transition portion (8). The large diameter of the grip portion (4) permits recreational players or players with relatively weak hands to exert more power and greater control of the fine movements of the club shaft and golf club. The grip section (4) has a minimum diameter at least 35 ~ greater than the maximum diameter of the power section (6) and the transition section (8) has a length not greater than 15 % of the overall length of the shaft (2). The shaft may be made of any convenient material which can be formed into the curves of the transition section without imposing undue stresses in the curved portions. The shaft may be formed of metal or, preferably, a fiber/polymer composite material. The shaft permits the typical recreational player to improve his or her game by being able to obtain significantly better control of the alignment of club face and ball during the swing and shot, without requiring any increase in the player's normal hand and wrist grippin g strength. It is also of utility for players who have arthritis or other debilitating conditions in their hands and wrists, in thatit permits them to play better with their limited gripping ability, and in some cases permits resumption of limited play where to play at all had become unacceptably difficult because of the physical problems.
