Title: Lymphokine production and purification
Inventor: CLARK STEVEN C
IPC: C07K14/52
Filed: 1990-05-14
Granted: 1993-12-09
Abstract: A method for preparing and isolating a transformation vector containing CSF/cDNA is described. The method comprises:  preparing RNA from a cell that produces CSF;  preparing polyadenylated messenger RNA from said RNA;  preparing single stranded cDNA from said messenger RNA;  converting the single stranded cDNA to double stranded cDNA; inserting the double stranded cDNA into transformation vectors and transforming bacteria with said vector to form colonies; picking pools of 200 to 500 colonies each and isolating plasmid DNA from each pool; transfecting the plasmid DNA into suitable host cells for expressing CSF protein; culturing the transfected cells and assaying the supernatant for CSF activity; and selecting CSF positive pools and screening the colonies used to make the pool to identify a colony having CSF activity. Also described are a cDNA coding for a protein having CSF activity (i.e. CSF/cDNA), a microorganism or cell line transformed with a recombinant vector containing such CSF/cDNA, and a method for producing CSF protein by expressing said CSF/cDNA by culturing a microorganism or cell line. The invention also provides a method of purifying the CSF proteins and the purified proteins so produced.

Title: Gels and multilayer surface structures from boronic acid containing polymers
Inventor: HUBBELL JEFFREY A
IPC: C09D133/26
Filed: 1999-08-27
Granted: 2003-06-12
Abstract: Boronic acid containing polymers are used to form bioinert gels and multilayer surface structures. These polymers form crosslinked hydrogels, which are highly swollen in water. The crosslinking can either be chemical or physical. Water soluble polymers containing boronic acid groups, such as phenylboronic acid (PBA), can be physically crosslinked by mixing the polymers in water with other polymers containing hydroxyls or carboxylic acids. Alternatively, surfaces can be treated by stepwise incubation with a solution of the boronic acid containing polymer, followed by incubation with a solution of a diol or carboxylic acid containing polymer. Many successive layers can be generated, increasing the thickness of the formed structure at each step. The bioinert gel or surface coating can be used for passivating the surfaces of medical implants (especially those based on transplanted tissue), or for passivating the surfaces of tissues in situ, decreasing the incidence or severity of such pathologic conditions as the formation of post-surgical adhesions, and thrombosis following angioplasty.

Title: Method for addressing a bitstream recording
Inventor: SCHILLER HARALD
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 1999-08-26
Granted: 2003-03-20
Abstract: In bitstream recording presentation data is organised into Video Object Units. These have a variable size but have also a variable duration. To allow access to any Video Object Unit in the bitstream a housekeeping address table is used which is based on pieces (VOBU#n) of the bitstream of constant size per piece. The address table additionally contains for each of these pieces a specific delta duration ( DELTA DUR#n) which indicates the arrival time difference between the last and the first packet contained in a piece. The computation of the target VOBU address includes the following steps:   accumulate the delta durations until the given time value is most closely reached towards the target VOBU; the running index of this table entry multiplied by the constant piece size directly results in the address value to be accessed.   <IMAGE>

Granted: 1984-06-28
Abstract: A method for growing acid producing bacteria in the presence of an essentially water insoluble or a temporarily water insolubilized and thus initially solid form of a neutralizing agent in a growth medium is described. The water insoluble or insolubilized neutralizing agent is a base, basic salt or mixture thereof adapted to provide a controlled reaction with the acid produced by the bacteria without substantially raising the pH of the growth medium. Preferably the neutralizing agent is in a water insoluble form. Bulk starter compositions for growing the bacteria including the insoluble or the insol<sup>=</sup> ubilized neutralizing agent are also described. Further, bacterial compositions with enhanced storability and viability because of the insoluble or the insolubilized neutralizing agent are described. The method and bulk starter compositions are particularly adapted to growing lactic acid producing bacteria which are then used in making food and beverage products for animals and humans.

Title: Medication delivery apparatus
Inventor: BYDLON ROLAND JOSEPH
IPC: A61M5/24
Filed: 1998-06-04
Granted: 2001-05-10
Abstract: A medication delivery apparatus including a housing, a container of medication mounted to the housing, an outlet such as an injection needle, and a drive assembly adapted to force medication from the container and through the outlet upon movement of an actuator. The housing periphery includes a projecting abutment for digit engagement which is ergonomically designed for abutting contact by a first digit of a hand of a user when the housing is grasped within the user's hand such that a second digit of the hand of the user may operate the actuator. When the actuator is moved axially, this abutting contact of the first digit with the abutment permits application of an axial force by the first digit on the abutment in a direction generally opposite to an axial force applied to move the actuator. As this user applied force on the abutment reduces the amount of frictional force required to be applied by the user on the apparatus housing to counteract the force applied to the actuator during medication delivery, the apparatus housing may be gripped less tightly during use. The housing also is provided with a gripping layer on its periphery formed of a soft touch material.

Title: An improved fluid flow control unit
IPC: A01G25/02
Filed: 1991-10-18
Granted: 1993-07-22
Abstract: A known irrigation emitter unit provided at the end of an irrigation pipe comprises an inner member located and retained inside an outer member by way of a plastic molded annular flange and recess. This is unsatisfactory in that the inner member can be expelled from the outer member given a relatively high water pressure and in that the inner member is recessed with respect to the outer edges of the outer member wherein water can accumulate. The present invention is directed to an irrigation emitter unit comprising an outer member (11) in which is located an inner member (25) by way of molded terminal portions (20) of the outer member (11). Both the inner and outer members form a flush unit. Furthermore, as the terminal portions (20) are molded to the inner members (25), the irrigation emitter unit can withstand a greater water pressure than known previously. The present invention also extends to a process of manufacturing such a fluid flow control unit. <IMAGE>
