Abstract: The invention provides thermoplastic materials for biomedical applications through the processing of soybean de-fatted Tofu cheese. The material films show a relatively high degree of water uptake from the dry state as well as good tensile strength and elastic modulus when tested in wet conditions. The materials minimise in vitro the humoral and cell-mediated inflammatory response, promote the formation of calcium phosphate crystals and undergo a slow degradation in buffer systems. Adhesion and proliferation of tissue cells are favoured by this natural composite material.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for balancing the forward link capacity of a wireless communication system with the reverse link capacity of the system is presented. Speech coders with selectable modes are implemented in both links so that a forward link speech coder will not be operating with a mode set that is identical to the mode set used by a reverse link speech coder. Since the reverse link has a higher user capacity than a forward link, the reverse link speech coder can operate with a higher average data rate. Hence, the mode set used by the reverse link speech coder can be implemented without low average data rate modes. Elimination of modes from the mode set reduces complexity of the speech coder.

Abstract: A thin wall PTFE tube is formed from an extruded green tube. The PTFE tube includes an inner tubular surface and an opposed outer tubular surface defining a tubular wall of a first thickness. The tubular wall is compressed to uniformly reduce the wall-thickness and circumferentially orient the tube. The PTFE tube is positioned over a first elongate roller with the inner tubular surface being in contact therewith. A second roller is positioned against the outer tubular surface of the PTFE tube. The pair of rollers are counter rotated so as to circumferentially compress the tubular wall between the rollers. This results in the uniform reduction in the tubular wall from the first thickness to a lesser second thickness and a circumferential orientation otherwise not occurring in an extruded PTFE paste extrusion.

Abstract: Purification of triethylene diamine (TEDA) comprises crystallization and extraction of the resulting mother liquor with an extraction agent that is at most only slightly miscible with the solvent of the mother liquor but in which TEDA is soluble. Following extraction, the treated mother liquor with reduced TEDA content and/or the extraction agent enriched in TEDA is recycled to the process.  A process for the purification of triethylene diamine (TEDA) by evaporation and feeding the TEDA vapor to a liquid solvent followed by crystallization is characterized in that following crystallization of the TEDA the resulting mother liquor is extracted with an extraction agent that is at most only slightly miscible with the solvent of the mother liquor but in which TEDA is soluble. Following extraction, the treated mother liquor with reduced TEDA content and/or the extraction agent enriched in TEDA is recycled to the process.

Abstract: Providing access to a mobile user session in a manner that more closely corresponds access to network resources to the trustworthiness of authentication methods and devices associated with the mobile user session. Characteristics of authentication methods associated with a mobile user session are synthesized to generate an authentication bundle. Characteristics may include data associated with passwords, biometric data or devices used to execute an authentication method. By synthesizing characteristics in varied manners, a non-binary sliding scale of access to network resources may be generated. An authentication bundle may be accessed to grant a mobile user session appropriate access to network resources. Granting access may include generating an authorization token that is passed to a filter or reverse proxy. Access to network resources may be dynamically modified as authentication methods associated with a mobile user session change. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An artificial venous valve which incorporates a stent having one or more of the elements comprising its frame deformed inwardly towards its center and a biocompatible fabric attached to the one or more elements is utilized to replace or supplement incompetent or damaged venous valves. The elements are deformed and the fabric attached in such a way as to form valve flaps, which when there is no pressure differential on opposite sides of the flaps, substantially occludes the lumen of the vessel into which the artificial valve has been deployed. When there is a pressure differential, albeit slight, due to the pumping of the heart, the flaps easily open and allow blood to flow therethrough while substantially preventing backflow.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat conductivity detector which has an electrically heatable heating filament (6) which is mounted in the middle of a channel (5) in such a way that a fluid can be circulated around it and which is maintained on two ends on two electrically conducting carriers (7,8) intersecting said channel. In order to prevent the heating filament from slackening at working temperature, at least one of the two carriers (7,8) is embodied in such a way that the distance thereof from the other carrier is greater in the region of the middle of the channel than in the region of the wall of the channel (9). As a result, as the temperature rises the middle areas of both carriers (7,8) on which the heating filament (6) is maintained, move away from each other so that the heating filament (6) is tightened.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of detecting non-apoptotic DNA in clinical samples. In particular there is provided a novel screening methodology for the detection of colorectal carcinoma. Cancer results from genetic mutations which result in uncontrolled and unregulated cell growth. Apoptosis does not occur in cancerous cells and thus the DNA remains unfragmented. Colorectal cancer results from mutations which occur in varying sites of the DNA. Accordingly there is no ubiquitous marker specific to colorectal tumour cells. The present invention provides the finding that the presence of specific fragments of DNA can be used to diagnose cancer irrespective of the point of DNA mutation. The method includes the step of obtaining a suitable sample, extracting the DNA therefrom and then amplifying and separating the fragments by electrophoresis in order to detect the presence of banding which is indicative of non-fragmented DNA derived from cancerous cells.

Abstract: Device suitable for detecting, evaluating and indicating noise levels, in the form of acoustic pressure, present in a place of work or others, e.g. places of entertainment. The device is suitable for recording the levels themselves, for a long period of time, with the possibility of comparison with reference levels which have been defined either from regulations in force, or from interpersonal or business agreements. The result of the comparison is indicated with continuity at many points, particularly signifying the situation in the room, to define the state of normality, of alarm or of danger, with many optical indicators of the traffic light type, which with the lighting of the green, amber or red lights, signify the current level of acoustic pressure. At the same time, the electronic registration of the data is highlighted on a monitor, with a corresponding graph, to suggest the possible need for intervention to a control operator. The command foreseen for the optical indicator can otherwise be foreseen to command indicators of a different type which are considered more convenient in the particular room. Also, it is possible, with suitable feed back, to automatically limit or control the source of the disturbance.
