Title: Inhibition of c. difficile infections by indigestible oligosaccharides
Inventor: GARLEB KEITH ALLEN
IPC: A61K33/00
Filed: 1996-04-04
Abstract: The primary etiology of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (also known as pseudomembranous colitis) has been recognized as Clostridium difficile. It is believed that the indigenous microflora of a healthy individual suppresses the normally present C. difficile. However, when the indigenous microflora are disrupted (e.g., during antibiotic treatment) overgrowth of C. difficile may occur causing diarrhea and colitis. Treatment of C. difficile with antibiotics has proven effective, but many times relapse occurs; and dehydration due to diarrhea is an exacerbating problem. It has been suggested that normalization of the microflora will inhibit C. difficile relapse. Indigestible oligosaccharides have been shown to inhibit C. difficile infection. An oral rehydration solution containing such indigestible oligosaccharides also provides fluid and electrolyte replacement.

Title: Polymerizable material and sheet material derived therefrom
Inventor: AL-LAMEE KADEM GAYAD
IPC: A61N1/30
Filed: 1999-09-06
Abstract: A composition which is photopolymerizable in the presence of water comprises: <SL> <LI>(a) a first monomer having olefinic unsaturation and a flexible hydrophillic chain; <LI>(b) a second monomer having olefinic unsaturation, high polymerization efficiency and which imparts tackiness on curing; <LI>(c) a cross-linking agent; and <LI>(d) a photoinitiator. </SL> The composition may be formed into a thin layer before it is cured so that the product is a film. The cured film is transparent, adheres selectively to dry skin, and can be used as a wound dressing or in transdermal patches. Where the second monomer provides conductivity-imparting groups it may also be used as an electrode (e.g. as a grounding plate). If desired, 2 - 20 wt% of a low molecular weight polyol e.g. propylene glycol may be added to increase the adhesiveness of the cured film. Preferred components are a) poly(ethyleneglycol)ethyl ether methacrylate, b) N,N-dimethylacrylamide or 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propane sulphonic acid and c) N,N-methylene-bis-acrylamide or poly(ethyleneglycol) dimethacrylate.

Title: Apparatus for processing glass
Inventor: HERRINGTON RICHARD A
IPC: C03B35/16
Filed: 1990-05-18
Abstract: An apparatus for processing glass sheets includes a furnace and a bending station traversed by a conveyor for carrying the glass sheets. A plurality of heaters mounted in the furnace each heat associated areas of the glass sheets in accordance with setpoint temperature signals representing desired values of temperatures for heating associated areas of the glass sheets. One or more parameters of the glass sheets, such as thickness and color, are sensed and the setpoint signal values are changed accordingly. The parameter values are also utilized to change the spacing between the upper and lower mold members in the bending station to adjust the bending pressure applied to the glass sheets. Furthermore, the parameters are utilized to change the speed of the conveyor sections in order to vary the time that the glass sheets are in the furnace and thus the amount of heat imparted to the glass sheets.

Title: Synchronization and equalization in a tdma cellular system
Inventor: LEVINE STEPHEN NORMAN
IPC: H04L7/00
Filed: 1990-06-22
Abstract: In a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) cellular system, there is provided a mechanism for synchronization and equalization comprising: providing synchronization information (S/S) sufficiently removed from the start of a TDM slot so as to maintain the integrity of that synchronization information (S/S) at adjacent cells and providing that synchronization information (S/S) not so far removed from the start of the slot as to necessitate adaptive equalization of information preceding the synchronization information (S/S) for sufficiently reliable recovery. The equalization is further enhanced by providing, roughly midway between the synchronization information (S/S) and the end of the slot, additional information (CC) upon which equalization may retrain. Accordingly, equalizers perform retrospective, non-adaptive equalization of information preceding the synchronization information (S/S), perform adaptive equalization of information following that synchronization information (S/S), and retrain utilizing known bit-sequences elsewhere within the TDM slot; the additional information (CC) comprises known bit-sequences identifying cells.

Title: Air pressure indicator for a vehicle tyre
Inventor: TSAGAS NICOLAOS
IPC: B60C23/04
Filed: 1999-10-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to a device which indicates the safety limits of the air pressure in each one of the pneumatic tires of a vehicle by transmitting appropriate information from the wheels to the driving control board. Transmission of information is based on the capacitive coupling between rotating and non-rotating conductive annular surfaces (2-5, 12-19, 72-75) which are mounted into channels of insulated bases (6-9) fixed in the available space between the bearing flange, the braking system and the wheel bearings (66) and are forming cylindrical and plane capacitors. An electronic circuit incorporates these capacitors as basic elements for its operation, and also an AC bridge (20) to give an automatic compensation by measuring the differential capacitance for each pair of the wheels to avoid faulty indication due to causes like humidity, temperature, etc. Also a simple electronic circuit can be used for each one of the wheels. A tire pressure sensor (1) comprises a semiconductor membrane (30) with an electrode (33) which is shorting out the rotating conductive surfaces (2, 3, 12, 13, 16, 17, 72, 73) when the tire pressure deviates from the safety limits resulting in a change of the original frequency and giving visual display or audio indication.

Title: Improved binding interactions in dipstick assays
Inventor: LEE HELEN
IPC: C12Q1/689
Filed: 2001-07-06
Abstract: Use of dipsticks to test for the presence of target nucleic acid in a sample solution is described. The dipsticks comprise a contact end for contacting the sample solution and a capture zone, remote from the contact end, to which a capture probe is immobilised. The capture probe is capable of hybridising to the target nucleic acid. The sample solution is contacted with the contact end of the dipstick and travels by capillary action to the capture zone. If target nucleic acid is present in the sample solution it is captured and can be detected at the capture zone. The capture probe is immobilised to the capture zone by a spacer. Use of the spacer increases the stability of the interaction between the capture probe and the target nucleic acid and thus improves the sensitivity of target nucleic acid detection. Detection probes with spacers are also described.

Title: Method of determining clock timing error in multicarrier system
Inventor: PEETERS MIGUEL
IPC: H04J1/00
Filed: 1998-09-11
Abstract: In a multi-carrier transmission system, a clock timing error ( tau e) is calculated at the receiver's side and used for synchronisation between a transmitting modem and a receiving modem (RX1). The clock timing error ( tau e) is calculated from phase errors ( phi 0,  phi 1, ... , phi i, ...,  phi N-1) detected for a plurality of pilot carriers during a tracking mode in such a way that the share (Ai) of a phase error ( phi i) detected for a particular pilot carrier in the clock timing error ( tau e) depends on the transmission quality (SNRi) of that pilot carrier over the transmission medium in between the two modems. In this way, the robustness of the synchronisation for narrowband noise near a pilot carrier is improved significantly. <IMAGE>
