Title: Respiratory humidification system
Inventor: LEONARD PETER JOHN
IPC: G05D23/19
Filed: 1998-06-16
Abstract: A flow probe for use in a humidification system is disclosed. The flow probe is adapted to be positioned in a humidified gases flow (for example oxygen or anaesthetic gases) such as that which is provided to a patient in a hospital environment. The flow probe is designed to provide both temperature and flow rate sensing of the gases flow by incorporating two sensors (preferably thermistors) and the shape and alignment of the probe enables accurate readings by reducing the occurrence of condensation on the sensors. A number of possible applications are disclosed wherein the flow sensor is included in humidification control systems which provide a patient with a desired humidity level or simplify the amount of user input required or wherein the flow sensor provides a controller with flow information which may then be used to determine certain, possibly dangerous, conditions (such as incorrect flow sensor placement, breathing circuit disconnected, no water in the humidification chamber or humidity out of required limits).

Inventor: STRATICO GIANFRANCO
IPC: H02K15/095
Filed: 2003-11-13
Abstract: The present invention concerns solutions for disposing the wire leads of a wire coil along trajectories that have predetermined positional references relative to the dynamo-electric machine component. The present invention proposes to provide a wire lead manipulator that operates to dispose the wire lead by entering within extremely narrow gaps on a dynamo-electric machine component at high speed and with a lower risk of the wire lead manipulator colliding with the accessory parts of the component.      Using the solutions of this invention, these achievements are possible for dynamo-electric machine components with very small spaces between accessory components that do not allow the passage of conventional wire lead manipulator apparatus.

Patent CA-2457143-A1 (CA)
Title: In situ immunization
Inventor: LUM LAWRENCE G
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2002-08-16
Abstract: The arming of activated T cells (ATC) with BiAbs can overcome major barriers for successful adoptive immunotherapy. The BiAb approach takes the advantage of the targeting specificity of monoclonal antibodies and the cytotoxic capacity of T cells to lyse tumors. Arming of ATC with BiAb makes every T cell an antigen-specific CTL and infusions of such cells will markedly increase the effective precursor frequency of CTL in the cancer patient. Furthermore, the ability of such armed ATC to kill multiple times without rearming with BiAb, secrete tumoricidal cytokines, secrete chemokines, and survive in patients for up to 8 days after the last infusion or in Beige/SCID mice for over 13 weeks after cessation of treatment. The persistence of cells in the Beige/SCID after infusion show long term survival capability in the host. Re-stimulation of armed ATC after 3 Cycles of cytotoxicity with tumor cells resulted in the secretion of interferon gamma indicating the development of tumor specific immune response in the population of cells that have been exposed multiple times to antigen. In summary, armed ATC can act as a cytotoxic "drug", kill multiple times (direct killing), divide after killing (increasing the effector : target ratio in vivo), secrete tumoricidal cytokines (indirectly killing), secrete chemokines at the tumor site (recruit naïve T cells and antigen-presenting cells to immunize the patient to tumor lysate) and persist in patients and animal models for weeks to months (long-term survival).

Inventor: RYAN FREDERICK W JR
IPC: G07B17/00
Filed: 2002-10-03
Abstract: A method and system for a virtual stamp dispensing metering system is provided wherein indicia of varying values are calculated at a data center and downloaded to a mailing machine on a periodic basis. The mailing machine securely stores the indicia and dispenses the indicia as needed. At the end of the period, any unused indicia are returned to the data center, the user's account is credited, and a new set of indicia are downloaded to the mailing machine. Accordingly, the processing requirements of the meter are reduced, as there is no longer any need to generate digital signatures, an attacker is prevented from generating indicia indefinitely if the security of the meter is compromised, as the cryptographic key is not resident at the meter, and tracking requirements of the meter are reduced, as the meter alone can not be used to generate postage funds.
