Abstract: An apparatus and methods determine externally in a vertebrate subject the porosity and non-connectivity of a bone. A preferred embodiment has an acoustic transceiver with a pair of acoustic transducers disposed in a specified spatial relationship with one another, such that an acoustic signal is transmitted from one to another via the bone. The transmission path through the bone corresponding to the acoustic signal analyzed by the system may be varied, with values derived from measures of acoustic transmission through differing locations in the bone stored in different locations of a memory. A location processor is provided for selecting a target location based at least in part on the values stored in the memory for defining a region of interest with respect to which a measure of bone porosity is determined.

Abstract: Apparatus for suturing a wound in a body cannula having an axis extending between a proximal end and a distal end. A handle is disposed at the proximal end and a pair of needles disposed at the distal end, the needles being movable between a proximal position and a distal position. A suture manipulator carried by the cannula is insertable through the wound and operable to manipulate the suture into an engaging relationship with the needles on the far side of the body wall. In one embodiment of the invention, a finger ring is movable on the handle in a single distal direction through multiple stages. In a first stage the needles are deployed; in a second stage, the suture manipulator is activated to thread the needles; and in a third stage the suture is released from a tensioning mechanism. In another embodiment, the finger ring is movable in a distal direction to deploy and thread the needles, and movable in a proximal direction to tension the suture and withdraw the needles. In an associated method the needles are threaded on the far side of the body wall and withdrawn from the wound providing access to the suture ends on the near side of the body wall. Tying the suture ends closes the wound. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting digital data in a cellular environment. Adjacent cells of the cellular system are prevented from simultaneously transmitting data. Because the noise from transmissions of adjacent cells is a primary source of interference, the transmission rate of power limited base stations can be dramatically increased when the noise from adjacent cells is eliminated. The transmissions to each subscriber station are made at a fixed transmission power level. However, the data rate of transmitted signals differs from one subscriber station to another depending the path loss differences. In a first exemplary embodiment, the data rate of transmissions to a subscriber station is determined by selecting an encoding rate for the transmitted signal while holding the symbol rate constant. In a second exemplary embodiment, the data rate of transmissions to a subscriber station is determined by selection a modulation format for the transmitted signal which directly changes the symbol rate of transmission to a subscriber station.

Abstract: Transmission power in a frequency-hopping radio system that transmits packets from a sending radio unit to a receiving radio unit, wherein each packet includes an address designating the receiving radio unit, is controlled by measuring received signal strength of packets whose addresses were successfully received in the receiving radio unit, regardless of whether other portions of the respective packets were successfully received. An average signal strength value is generated from the received signal strength measurements. The mathematical difference between the average signal strength value and a target value associated with the receiving radio unit is then determined and used as a basis for deciding whether to send a power control message from the receiving radio unit to the sending radio unit. In order to provide a hysteresis in the power control process, a power control message is sent from the receiving radio unit to the sending radio unit if the mathematical difference is greater than a first decision boundary, or if the mathematical difference is less than a second decision boundary. The power control message may itself include the mathematical difference which, when received by the sending radio unit, is used as a basis for determining a transmission power level adjustment amount. The target value, against which the average signal strength value is compared, may be based on the receiver sensitivity adjusted to account for implementation losses and other inaccuracies.

Abstract: A voltage controlled oscillator based on the Colpitt's design is provided. An inductor Lc is provided in parallel to one Cs of a pair of series connected capacitors Cs, Cd. The presence of the inductor Lc modifies the impedance ratio of the pair of series connected capacitors Cs, Cd by introducing a frequency dependence. This frequency dependence mitigates frequency dependent losses in a tuned circuit Lr, Ct in the voltage controlled oscillator. The invention provides an enhanced output signal over the frequency range of operation of the voltage controlled oscillator. The invention also improves the modulation of the voltage controlled oscillator's output signal which can be achieved by a separate modulation circuit Cm, Rm, Vm. The oscillator may form part of a mobile radio receiver or mobile telephone.

Abstract: In a medical meassuremnet system, measurements can be carried out at a distance from a hospital. Thus the patient is connected to a measuring system comprising measuring sensors and a unit for collecting data comprising a transmitter. The system also comprises a centrally located surveillance unit. The measuring sensors sense various physical and physiological parameters, for example brain activities, actions of the heart, respiration, blood pressure, blood values/tests and body movements. The sensed signals are transmitted to a portable small device of low weight for collecting and/or analyzing data, which is connected to a central surveillance unit, for example via the public switched telephone network (PSTN), a radio system, in particular a cellular radio system, or via a satellite communication. In a preferred embodiment the measuring sensors comprise a preamplifier having an identification circuit. The identification circuit is used for providing each preamplifier with a unique identity. In yet another preferred embodiment a measuring pad for measuring physical and physiological parameters is provided. The measuring pad comprises a film having piezo and/or pyro electrical characteristics, for example a PVF-film (Poly Vinyl Fluoride), or any other sensor having similar properties. By using such a film, which can convert movements into an electrical signal several advantages are achieved.

Abstract: The present invention describes a process for the industrial production of L-carnitine, comprising the enantioselective reduction of an alkyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutyrate or 4-chloro-3-oxobutyramide. The optically active 3-hydroxy derivative thus obtained is reacted with trimethylamine, obtaining crude L-carnitine, which is then finally purified. The catalyst used for the reduction is a complex of ruthenium bound to a penta-atomic bis-heteroaromatic system. The reduction reaction, performed in controlled conditions of hydrogen pressure, substrate concentration, temperature, and substrate: catalyst molar ratio, enables 4-chloro-3-hydoxybutyrate or 4-chloro-hydroxybutyamide to be obtained in a high yield. The process described, which leads to L-carnitine being obtained, is easily applicable on an industrial scale.

Abstract: Methods for using Zot or zonulin as an antigen specific inhibitor of APC activity and lymphocyte proliferation, being primarily useful in the field of immunoregulation and immunotherapy are described. Specifically, Zot and zonulin inhibit antigen presenting cell-mediated antigen-specific lymphocyte proliferation in a dose dependent manner. This effect is associated with the presence of a macrophage surface receptor to which Zot binds in a specific and saturable way. This down-regulation of the immune response is, at least in part, associated with a decreased uptake of antigen.
