Abstract: A method for repairing defects and inducing vascularization in mammalian tissue, preferably skin, involves administering to the tissue a recombinant replication defective virus, preferably adenovirus, carrying a selected growth factor gene, preferably VEGF or PDGF, under operative control of regulatory sequences which direct the expression of the growth factor(s). Also provided is a method for infecting a tissue to be transplanted with such recombinant adenoviruses prior to transplantation and, as a composition, an infected culture of human tissue to be transplanted which is infused with a selected growth factor prior to transplantation. Screening methods for the treatment of angiogenic disorders, e.g., hemangiomas and cancers, also employ an animal model on which is engrafted a full thickness human tissue infused with a growth factor.

Abstract: The present invention provides a stable nonwoven web having enhanced extensibility and a method for making the same. A neckable nonwoven web is fed in a first direction. The neckable nonwoven web is subjected to incremental stretching in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. A tensioning force is applied to the neckable nonwoven web to neck the nonwoven web. The necked nonwoven web is then subjected to mechanical stabilization to provide a stabilized extensible necked nonwoven web. The stabilized extensible necked nonwoven web is easily extended in a direction parallel to the direction necking.

Abstract: A method of injecting fuel in multicylinder engines. A fuel pre-pressure is generated to be converted within acceleration pipes by opening controlled shutoff valves and recirculating fuel to a fuel pump inlet. The fuel under pre-pressure is conveyed via a fuel pump into a pre-pressure common rail common to several engine cylinders. This pre-pressure is only a fraction of the required injection pressure. When the pre-pressure is exceeded, fuel is fed from the pre-pressure common rail, via pressure-limiting valves, into a return common rail common to several engine cylinders. The shutting off of the shutoff valves provokes a steep rise of fuel pressure, due to a water hammer effect. This produces a high-pressure wave since the closed shutoff valve supplies high pressure for fuel injection through the respective injection nozzle associated with the shutoff valve. One acceleration pipe is used for every shutoff valve between the pre-pressure common rail and the return common rail. At least one injection nozzle is actuated in the respective acceleration pipe per shutoff valve.

Abstract: An information service system comprises a portable unit carried by the user and an identification tag for supplying information on the present position of the user or the place where the user is approaching. The identification tag transmits the transmission information including the specified information stored in advance using infrared light or the like. The portable unit that has entered a predetermined range of the identification tag, upon receipt of the transmission information, demodulates the specified information and outputs the specified information from an information output unit such as a speaker. By the way, in the case where the specified information is an identification tag ID for specifying the particular identification tag, the portable unit selects the guide information corresponding to the identification tag ID through the portable unit controller and outputs it from the information output unit. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A tissue drill for reduced-trauma tissue ablation includes an optical fiber and a handpiece. The optical fiber has an inlet for receiving laser energy from a laser energy source and an outlet for emitting laser energy. The handpiece is adapted to receive the optical fiber in a controlled and movable relationship. In use, a distal end of the handpiece is placed against tissue to be ablated. The optical fiber is advanced beyond the distal end of the handpiece and into the tissue while emitting laser energy. The emitted laser energy ablates the tissue as the optical fiber advances. The optical fiber may then be retracted from the tissue, thereby resulting in a channel formed in the tissue. The optical fiber may also rotate while advancing into the tissue. In this regard, the outlet may be offset from a rotational axis of the optical fiber to reduce the level of laser energy transferred to surrounding tissue, thereby reducing trauma to the tissue. The tissue drill is particularly suited for performing transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) and similar procedures.

Abstract: A broadcasting method encodes program material using convolutional codes having non-puncturable bits and puncturable bits and modulates orthogonal frequency division multiplexed carrier signals with the convolutional codes. The non-puncturable bits are carried by a first group of the carriers and the puncturable bits are carried by a second group of the carriers, where the first group of carrier signals is less susceptible to interference than the second group of carrier signals. The carrier signals are then broadcast to receivers which determine if the carriers in the second group have been corrupted and erase puncturable bits carried by any of the carriers which have been determined to be corrupted. This produces punctured codes which are subsequently decoded to recover the program material.
