Title: Permanent magnetic core device
Inventor: GLAVAC VLADIMIR
IPC: H01F29/14
Filed: 1998-09-29
Abstract: Biased core devices and method of use are disclosed in which magnetic core energy losses due to hysteresis and eddy currents are greatly reduced in comparison to the core losses in prior art transformers and inductive devices. The present invention sets forth a transformer or choke device in which permanent magnets are surrounded by electrical steel materials and may be held in place by pole pieces. The magnetic core transformer structure also permits a method of use in which current passing through the device is controlled by the field strength of the permanent magnets. In addition, the biased magnetic core transformer operation may be linear or non-linear, and placed in series or parallel within a circuit. The magnetic components disclosed in the present invention affords both energy loss reductions and size reductions in comparison to known prior art transformers. The invention has many applications, including, but not limited to, the protection of switch gear, current limiting, voltage transformation in power distribution and for current control in arc discharge lamp circuits.

Inventor: SPIJKERMAN JOHANNES
IPC: A61H31/00
Filed: 1999-10-15
Abstract: The Chest-positioner/pad (680) Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation System (CCPRS) provides improved resuscitation during one-person or two-person CPR. The simple, compact, portable and cost-effective system provides for manual, mechanical or electrical driven external chest compressions via a socket (686) connection to a chest-positioner/pad unit (680). The chest-positioner/pad unit (680) provides greater control of compression positioning providing adequate, and reproducible chest compressions while preventing rib fractures, and damage to vital internal organs. A module (640) gives providers feedback to enable a provider to apply an appropriate compressive force in an appropriate direction, recurring under emergency conditions. The present invention also provides improved blood circulation, oxygenation, and gas exchange by expanding the chest past its normal relaxation point during diastole.  Providers are able to administer adequate CPR for longer periods of time with reduced or minimal effort while improving survivability of cardiac arrest victims.

Title: Method and device for avoiding interruptions in voice transmissions
Inventor: BRUHN STEFAN
IPC: H04W36/18
Filed: 1999-11-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for avoiding interruptions in voice transmission in a cellular communication system. Voice data are thereby divided into segments, and the segments are associated with transmission quanta, so-called bursts. A number of segments is coded in a first transmission mode and is made available for transmission. Said first transmission mode is, for instance, for a transmission at full rate.  Additional segments, which follow, are subsequently coded in a second tramission mode and am made available for transmission. The second transmission mode is, for instance, for transmission at half rate.  Through the change from a first transmission mode to a second transmission mode, parts of the associated transmission quanta remain unused by applying the so-called interleaving. Said unused transmission quanta are used for performing additional functions, such as initiating a hand-over or FACCH signaling.

Title: Process for manufacturing a tubular unit offsite for coupling double-walled tubes and a tubular unit obtained therefrom
Inventor: GHIDINA DANIEL
IPC: F16L13/02
Filed: 2001-11-05
Abstract: Process for the offsite manufacturing of a tubular unit coupling, for coupling double-walled tubes which comprise an outer tube or jacket and an inner tube or conductor, by means of a bell-shaped piece. The piece is manufactured from tubular sections of certain length. One of the inner tube ends is heated to be formed and subsequently machined. The coupling is subject to a thermal treatment as required for the desired grade. In order to control thermal insulation, the piece is covered with thin aluminum foils and then with ceramic fiber material in a helicoidal fashion. Subsequent steps involve covering the ceramic layer with a fiber-glass fabric thus generating an assembly which enables smooth sliding through the outer tube without breakage or displacement of the insulating layer. The insulated unit is introduced into outer tube and ends are alternately welded. The tubular unit coupling obtained by such process is also disclosed.

Filed: 2000-03-28
Abstract: The invention relates to an optical arrangement for symmetrizing the radiation of a plurality of laser diodes that are arranged adjacently to each other and on top of each other, in a fixed manner relative to each other. The output radiation of each laser diode is unsymmetrical in relation to a first direction (the y axis) and a second direction (the x axis) which are perpendicular in relation to each other. The inventive optical arrangement is particularly for use for symmetrizing the radiation of laser diode bars that are stacked on top of each other, forming a laser diode stack. A plurality of microcylindrical lens units (2a, 2b, 2c) with sufficient isoplanacy are arranged in such a way that they are tilted about the optical axis (the z axis) of the designated linear array of laser diodes, collimate the output beam bundles of the individual laser diodes of the designated linear array of laser diodes in direction y, deviating said output beam bundles to different degrees and separating them as they do so. The bundles (8) output from the laser diodes that are arranged on top of each other in direction y coincide at a set distance. A directional element (3) is mounted downstream of the microcylindrical lens unit (2a, 2b, 2c). This directional element diverts the beam bundle (8) of the individual laser diodes that are arranged adjacently to each other in direction x with different angles of deflection respectively, so that the central points of the individual beam bundles (8) coincide at a set distance. A redirecting element (5) is located at a distance behind the directional element (3) and compensates the different angles of deflection of the beam bundles (8) introduced by the directional element (3) in the plane xz.

Title: Gene therapy vectors and their use in antitumour therapy
Inventor: MARPLES BRIAN
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 1999-05-17
Abstract: Vector material useful for antitumour therapy contains: (a) a tumour cell sensitizing gene or genes of which expression in a tumour cell yields a sensitizing gene expression product having a potential to cause tumour cells to be killed and destroyed, or to be eliminated, or otherwise to be inactivated, or to be rendered sensitive and/or vulnerable to destruction; (b) a sensitizing gene promoter; (c) at least one control gene; and (d) a control gene expression regulatory system responsive in use in a transfected cell to the effect of a predetermined exogenous or endogenous expression inducing influence, e.g. ionizing radiation, heat or a chemical inducing agent, so as to induce expression of the control gene to yield an expression product having a capacity to establish an operative linkage between the sensitizing gene promoter and the sensitizing gene or genes effective to trigger and switch on or permit continuous or permanent expression of the latter to bring about continuous production of the sensitizing gene expression product. This is preferably achieved by arranging for the control gene to encode a recombinase enzyme that acts on recombinase target sites in a Cre-loxP or Flp-frt site specific recombination system to remove an expression preventing stop cassette sequence between the sensitizing gene(s) and the promoter for the latter. In some embodiments the tumour sensitizing gene expression product will be an enzyme or other bioactive agent that can activate an inactive prodrug.
