Abstract: A synthetic lung surfactant composition and process for depositing a monolayer of a phosphatidylcholine lung surfactant to the alveoli of a mammal. The composition comprises a phosphatidylcholine lung surfactant, a phosphatidylethanolamine, and cholesterol in proportions such that the composition is in lamellar form at or below a first temperature and in non-lamellar form at a second temperature which is higher than the first temperature. A preferred phosphatidylcholine lung surfactant for use in this invention is dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), which is known to be the major lipid constituent of natural mammalian lung surfactant, and a preferred phosphatidylethanolamine is dioleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE). In particular embodiments, the composition is in lamellar form at about room temperature (25  DEG C), and in non-lamellar form at a temperature in the range of about 30 to 37  DEG C, which is at or below normal human body temperature (37  DEG C). The composition may also include one or more therapeutic peptides or other pharmaceutical agents. The synthetic lung surfactant may be used to treat a mammal for respiratory distress syndrome caused by an insufficiency of natural lung surfactant.

Abstract: A porous catalyst support which may be used in a catalytic converter for treating automotive exhaust gases. The support comprises a substrate having a multichannel structure of generally thin walls and washcoat particles of colloidal particle size mainly or wholly within the pores of the walls so as to increase open frontal area and reduce back pressure. Substrate is either ceramic or metal. In a ceramic substrate with microcracks in the walls, the washcoat colloidal dispersion is free of soluble inorganic constituents and the particles do not fill the microcracks so as to prevent undesirable increase in thermal expansion and corresponding decrease in thermal shock resistance.

Abstract: The invention relates to ECG mapping using a plurality of electrodes which can be placed on the patient's thorax and whose distance from the heart is known. The voltages at the electrodes are used to calculate time-dependent variables which particularly emphasise the multipole components of the electric heart field. The evaluation is performed in the following steps:   - the voltages projected onto a sphere whose centre coincides with the electric centre of the heart are calculated from the electrode voltages with the aid of the measured electrode distances from the electric centre of the heart, - the projected voltages are corrected using correction factors in such a way that account is taken of the influence of the conductivity structure in the thorax and of the migration of the electric centre of the heart, - these corrected voltages are converted into a variable whose values are assumed to be constant over the surface of the sphere, assuming a dipole field, - the differences of this variable with respect to the mean value are calculated over the surface of the sphere, and - these differences are represented as lines of equal intensity on a sphere.   <IMAGE>

Title: Immunoassay of human granulocyte elastase
Inventor: TERAO TOSHIHIKO
IPC: G01N33/573
Filed: 1992-06-18
Abstract: The total quantity of elastase in a specimen containg human granulocyte elastase in the form of a mixture of free elastase with an elastase-inhibitor complex or complexes is precisely detected by adding an inhibitor to convert the free elastase into an elastase-inhibitor complex. The elastase present can then be measured by immunoassay as the total amount including the previously-existing elastase-inhibitor complex. 
     It is thus possible to measure precisely the total amount of elastase in mucus collected from the cervical canal of a pregnant woman, sputum or a rinsed solution of bronchovesicular lavage in which free elastase is mixed with an elastase-inhibitor complex. 
     It is also possible to predict and prevent threatened premature delivery, premature delivery or premature rupture of membranes by immunoassay of mucus collected from the cervical canal of a pregnant woman; to make a diagnosis of chronic or repetitive airway infections and pulmonary emphysema based on chronic respiratory diseases by immunoassay of sputum and a rinsed solution of bronchovesicular lavage; and to make a diagnosis of urinary tract infections by immunoassay of urine.

Abstract: An Adapter for the connection to a digital clear-channel network (100) which comprises line line interface circuits (201) having a transmit and a receive part for providing the analog attachment to said network (100). The line interface circuits are provided with a reset input for allowing the disconnection of the adapter to the network (100). The Adapter further includes a Digital Phase-locked Loop device DPLL (203) driven by a master clock (306) which provides the timing and synchronization signals to the line Interface circuits (201). The frequency correction is achieved by frequency correction means (305) which stretches or shrinks the master clock by half a period when a correction has been decided by the phase comparator. The adapter further includes means for resetting the line interface circuits (201) at the power-on of the machine thereby causing the disconnection of the adapter to the line. The reset of the DPLL (203) is performed rapidly after the rest of the line interface circuits. This assures that, in the case where a first adapter is already connected to the clear-channel digital network, the synchronization process will not be destabilized by the connection of a second adapter. This allows the communication of two "slave" adapter through a G. 703 clear-channel digital network.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à une méthode et à un dispositif de commande d'un émetteur radio. Selon cette méthode, l'émetteur est alternativement mis à l'état de marche pendant lequel une puissance RF désirée est émise à l'extérieur, et à l'état d'arrêt pendant lequel aucune puissance RF n'est transmise, celle-ci étant déterminée à l'état de marche au moyen d'un signal de commande de puissance (Vc) commandant l'amplification des amplificateurs d'émission (3, 4). Afin de pouvoir vérifier que l'intervalle de données coïncide avec l'intervalle utile de l'émetteur, pendant lequel la valeur de la puissance RF devant être transmise est constante, on retarde un train de données (D2) par rapport à la commande de puissance (Vc) lorsque l'émetteur est mis à l'état de marche.
