Abstract: A suture tester for evaluating fray resistance of surgical sutures. The suture tester comprises a reciprocating drive member, first, second, third and fourth pulleys, and a tensioning element. The pulleys each have a suture contact surface, which define a single plane. The third pulley is rotatable about this single plane. The first, second and third pulleys are all movable on the single plane. A suture is mounted in the suture tester such that one end is attached to the reciprocating drive member, it then passes to the first pulley, to the third pulley, to the second pulley and to the fourth pulley, before attaching to the tensioning element at the other end of the suture. The third pulley is then rotated and locked into place to form the desired number of suture wraps. The suture tester is started and causes the suture to rub against itself until it fails.

Title: Proximity-based authorization
Inventor: SELIGMANN DOREE DUNCAN
IPC: H04M1/72463
Filed: 2005-07-06
Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for enabling the response to a command from a wireless terminal to be based at least partially on the presence or absence of other users nearby, and possibly the identity of those users. In the illustrated embodiment, a server maintains an updated list of the locations of fixed and wireless terminals within an area (e.g., an IEEE 802.11 wireless access point's area of coverage, a CDMA base station's cell, etc.). When a user issues a command to his or her wireless terminal, the command is transmitted to the server. The server determines whether there are any other nearby wireless terminals (and inferentially, the users associated with these terminals), and then determines whether the command is authorized in that environment.

Patent CA-2517054-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SANDLIE INGER
IPC: C07K16/44
Filed: 2004-02-25
Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel type of human recombinant antibody-like molecules useful in the treatment of i.e. multiple myeloma. These molecules, called Vaccibodies, bind APC and are able to trigger both T cell and B cell immune response. Moreover, Vaccibodies bind divalently to APC to promote a more efficient initiation of an immune response. Hence, a major purpose of the present invention is to induce a strong immune response to render adjuvants redundant. Vaccibodies comprise a dimer of a monomeric unit that consists of a targeting unit with specificity for a surface molecule on APC, connected through a hinge region and a C.gamma.3 domain to a antigenic unit in the COOH-terminal end; the latter being of e.g. B cell lymphoma or myeloma origin (Fig 1), although any origin is possible due to the cassette cloning system in the expression vector. The said molecule is capable of inducing an immune response against multiple myeloma, but extension to a general vaccination strategy for any polypeptid should be feasible. The present invention also relates to a DNA sequence coding for this recombinant antibody based molecule, to expression vectors comprising these DNA sequences, cell lines comprising said expression vectors, to treatment of mammals preferentially by immunization by means of Vaccibody DNA, Vaccibody RNA, or Vaccibody protein, and finally to pharmaceuticals and a kit comprising the said molecules.

Title: Optical receiver having an open loop automatic gain control circuit
Inventor: SKROBKO JOHN
IPC: H04B10/43
Filed: 2004-06-07
Abstract: The present invention is directed towards an optical receiver including an open loop automatic gain control (AGC) circuit. Optical signals received by the optical receiver are converted to electrical signals via a photodiode. The electrical signals are subsequently amplified through an input and an output amplifier stage. The amplified signal is then converted to RF signals and provided to an output port for further transmission. Concurrently, the AGC  circuit senses the input optical power level at the input photodiode.
