Title: System and method for distance learning
Inventor: ROWLEY DAVID D
IPC: G09B7/00
Filed: 2002-11-19
Abstract: A system and method for distance learning that can be used to teach a typica l IT training course. In one aspect, a student that desires to perform remotely a n exercise from an IT training course uses his/her Java-capable browser to connect to a distance learning web server. The web server downloads to the browser a list of exercises that the student can choose from. After the student selects an exercise, the web server launches the virtual machines that are needed for the student to perform the selected exercise. The virtual machines are launched on a computer system that is remote from the student, but the computer system includes a remote display server. After the virtual machines are launched on the remote system, a remote display viewer is loade d in the student's browser and the remote display viewer connects to the remote displ ay server. After the viewer connects to the remote display server, the viewer displays one or more of the virtual machines in a window on the student's computer. Thus, after t he viewer connects to the remote display server, the student can remotely interact wit h the virtual machines that are required for the student to perform the exercise.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for mincing a gel includes a gel mincing tube and a mesh material. The mesh material extends across the end of the tube. To subdivide a gel using the mincing apparatus, a gel (206) is placed upon the mesh material (204) in the mincing tube (208), the mincing tube, mesh material and the gel are spun in a centrifuge, forcing the gel through the mesh material so that the gel is subdivided into generally uniform smaller fragments (3B). The mesh material may be secured to a tube in the form of a nesting tube (208). The nesting tube nests within the opening of a recovery vessel (202). The mesh material may be placed in series with a conditionally porous membrane in the nesting tube (4C). Centrifuging the nesting tube and the recovery vessel subdivides gel material into fragments by forcing the gel through the mesh material. The gel subsequently falls upon the membrane, and may be treated on the membrane to extract or otherwise treat analytes in the gel material (4D).

Title: Lung surfactant compositions with dynamic swelling behaviour
Inventor: LARSSON MARCUS
IPC: A61P11/00
Filed: 2001-08-31
Abstract: Lung surfactant compositions capable of forming a dynamic swelling phase when dispersed in a medium containing electrolytes. The dynamic swelling process can be observed by polarising microscopy and results in formation of a birefringerent network or tubules at an air/liquid interface. The dynamic swelling process results in a spreading of the lung surfactant over an increased surface area compared to the spreading of the lung surfactant in a non-dynamic swelling phase. The spreading takes place during a specific span of time after dispersion of a lung surfactant in e.g. a physiological electrolyte solution. Hereby, a more active spreading of the lung surfactant into the alveoli can be obtained after administration to the lungs, which in turn opens the possibility to use such a composition as a carrier for therapeutically, prophylactically and/or diagnostically active substances into the lungs or other organs or body areas that are hard to access. A lung surfactant composition of the invention comprises a lung surfactant, which -when dispersed as powder or particles in 0.9 % w/w sodium chloride in a concentration 10 % w/w at ambient temperature - is capable of forming, in the course of swelling, a birefringent network or tubules at an air-liquid-solid interface within a time period of from about 0.5 min to about 120 min.as observed by polarising microscopy.
