Abstract: Medical devices of synthetic rubber are prepared from cis-1,4-polyisoprene by dip molding without the use of sulfur-containing components. The devices have surprinsingly favorable tensile characteristics despite what is known in regard to synthetic cis-1,4-polyisoprene. In addition, the absence of both the proteins present in natural rubber and the sulfur components that are typically used in vulcanization of both natural rubber and cis-1,4-polyisoprene of the prior art renders the devices freely usable without causing the user to suffer Type I or Type IV allergic reactions that typically arise from contact with natural rubber.

Abstract: To gain a better understanding of tumor angiogenesis, new techniques for isolating endothelial cells (ECs) and eval-uating gene expression patterns were developed. When transcripts from ECs derived from normal and malignant colorectal tissues were compared with transcripts from non-endothelial cells, over 170 genes predominantly expressed in the endothelium were iden-tified. Comparison between normal- and tumor-derived endothelium revealed 79 differentially expressed genes, including 46 that were specifically elevated in tumor-associated endothelium. Experiments with representative genes from this group demonstrated that most were similarly expressed in teh endothelium of primary lung, breast, brain, and pancreatic cancers as well as in metastatic lesions of the liver. These results demonstrate that neoplastic and normal endothelium in humans are distinct at the molecular level, and have significant implications for the development of anti-angiogenic therapies in the future.

Abstract: A content management system and process for programming, scheduling, uploading, storing and managing content on a website. The content management system and process attaches meta-data to website elements and sorts the elements into a hierarchy based on the meta-data. The content management system and process may then perform off-line generation and association of all associated website elements, through the meta-data, into a data package. The data package may then be scheduled for on-line availability at defined times.  The content management system and process also enables the setting forward of an internal clock so that the data package may be tested within the context of the website before the data package may actually be available on the website. The content management system and process may automatically ingest content based on a naming convention and may also ingest website user content and inherit all meta-data that was associated with user content.

Granted: 2009-01-13
Abstract: A method is discussed of obtaining a parameter of interest of an earth formation, typically a formation resistivity or a distance to a bed boundary, in conditions where an induction tool is using having a body with finite, non-zero conductivity. The method substantially removes the effects of the conductivity of the tool from the signal received from the earth formation. A Taylor series expansion in one half of odd integer powers of time is used to represent the received signal. At least one leading term of the Taylor series expansion can be subtracted from the second signal. A filtering operation is applied to the second signal to remove the terms most dominated by pipe effects. Typical filtering operations can be a differential filtering operation or an integral filtering operation.
