Title: Use of a cd40:cd154 binding interruptor to treat immunological complications of the eye
Inventor: DANA M REZA
IPC: A61K38/13
Filed: 2000-10-19
Abstract: The invention relates generally to the treatment and inhibition of immunological complications of the eye. Such complications include unwanted immune responses resulting in an ocular inflammatory disease, resulting from a corneal or retinal graft transplantation or resulting from ocular angiogenesis, particularly ocular neovascularization. The invention relates in particular to the inhibition, treatment, or reversal of immune-system driven rejection of grafted corneal or retinal tissue or cells in a recipient host and to the treatment or inhibition of ocular inflammatory disease or ocular neovascularization in a host. Compositions and methods disclosed herein capitalize on the discovery that immunological complications of the eye can be inhibited using a CD40:CD154 binding interrupter, either alone or in combination with another immunomodulator or immunosuppressor. An exemplary CD40:CD154 binding interrupter is an anti-CD154 monoclonal antibody, such as an antibody having the antigen-specific binding characteristics of the 5c8 monoclonal antibody.

Title: Device for dispensing a fluid product from a container
Inventor: ROEMER FRANK
IPC: B65D47/08
Filed: 2000-10-26
Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve a device for dispensing a fluid product from a container, with a roller applicator arrangement, such that the use of said device can be essentially simplified and the sealing function when not in use can be guaranteed. Said roller applicator arrangement externally seals a container opening and comprises a rotating body housing for a rotating body, in which the rotating body is rotatably held, whereby said body extends partly into the container to be coated with fluid product during use; an openable closure, which externally covers the rotating body and sealing elements between the rotating body and the rotating body housing. The aim of the invention is achieved, whereby, the closure (9) can be pivoted in relation to the rotating body (8), in such a way that said closure (9) may adopt an open position, which releases the rotating body (8), or a closed position which externally covers the rotating body (8). The sealing elements (21) are so formed that on pivoting of the closure (8) into the closed position they are fully effective.

Abstract: A cluster implements a virtual disk system that provides each node of the cluster access to each storage
device of the cluster. The virtual disk system provides high availability such that a storage device may be accessed
and data access requests are reliably completed even in the presence of a failure. To ensure consistent mapping and
file permission data among the nodes, data are stored in a highly available cluster database. Because the cluster
database provides consistent data to the nodes even in the presence of a failure, each node will have consistent
mapping and file permission data. A cluster transport interface is provided that establishes links between the nodes
and manages the links. Messages received by the cluster transports interface are conveyed to the destination node
via one or more links. The configuration of a cluster may be modified during operation. Prior to modifying the
configuration, a reconfiguration procedure suspends data access requests and waits for pending data access requests
to complete. The reconfiguration is performed and the mapping is modified to reflect the new configuration. The
node then updates the internal representation of the mapping and resumes issuing data access requests.

radio signal transmitter/receiver, which can carry out a
communication through a signal of a first communication
method of transmitting and receiving a signal modulated
by using information with regard only to a phase, for
example, GSM/DCS, and a signal of a second communication
method of transmitting and receiving a signal modulated
by using an information of a phase and an amplitude, for
example, UMTS (W-CDMA). A signal of PLL for a different
reception channel is used as a local oscillation signal
for a direct conversion reception, by using an image
removing mixer or a reproduction dividing circuit, in
each of GSM/DCS and UMTS modes, by switching a frequency
of PLL in a transmitting IF signal in GSM/DCS/UMTS for
each method, in order to generate a receiving signal used
in GSM/DCS/UMTS.

Abstract: A signal amplification system (50) independently adjusts the relative phase and/or
amplitude between the signal components and/or the relative phase and/or amplitude
between the distortion components to improve the combination of corresponding
components. For example, a signal amplification system has first (52) and second (54)
amplifier paths carrying replicas of signal components. On the first amplifier path, a
first amplifier (56) amplifies signal components and generates distortion components. A
replica of the amplified signal components and distortion is provided to a coupling
path (58). On the coupling path, the distortion components are isolated by canceling the
signal components, and the distortion components are then amplitude and/or phase
adjusted without a corresponding adjustment to the phase and/or amplitude of the
signal components. The adjusted distortion components are coupled onto the second
path (54) where the signal components and the adjusted distortion components are
amplified by a second amplifier (66). The amplified signal components and distortion on
the second path are combined with the amplified signal components and distortion on
the first path to constructively combine the signal components and destructively
combine the distortion components. By independently adjusting the distortion
components relative to the signal components, the phase and/or gain adjustments to
the distortion and/or signal components can be made which improve the constructive
combination of the signal components and/or the destructive combination of the
distortion components.
