Title: Controlled detachment stents
Inventor: RICHTER JACOB
IPC: A61F2/82
Filed: 1999-11-15
Abstract: A stent (1) is provided with specific "designated detachment" points or zones (3) of weakness, such that after the stent is deployed, the stress applied on the stent will cause the stent to detach at these designated detachment points or zones. When the detachment occurs completely around the circumference of the stent, the stent separates into stent segments (2), each able to move with the vessel independently of the other stent segments. The components at the designated detachment zones may have a cross-sectional area sufficiently low so that the components will detach under the stress placed on the stent after implantation. Alternatively or additionally, the components at the designated detachment zones may be made of a material that is sufficiently weaker so that the components will detach under the stress placed on the stent after implantation. The stent may have a lower number of components at the designated detachment zones than in the stent segments.

Patent HU-T73101-A (HU)
Title: Method for regulating transcription of targeted genes and other biological events
Inventor: BELSHAW PETER
IPC: C10G7/06
Filed: 1994-02-14
Abstract: Dimerization and oligomerization of proteins are general biological control mechanisms that contribute to the activation of cell membrane receptors, transcription factors, vesicle fusion proteins, and other classes of intra- and extracellular proteins. We have developed a general procedure for the regulated (inducible) dimerization or oligomerization of intracellular proteins. In principle, any two target proteins can be induced to associate by treating the cells or organisms that harbor them with cell permeable, synthetic ligands. To illustrate the practice of this invention, we have induced: (1) the intracellular aggregation of the cytoplasmic tail of the ¶ chain of the T cell receptor (TCR)-CD3 complex thereby leading to signaling and transcription of a reporter gene, (2) the homodimerization of the cytoplasmic tail of the Fas receptor thereby leading to cell-specific apoptosis (programmed cell death) and (3) the heterodimerization of a DNA-binding domain (Gal4) and a transcription-activation domain (VP16) thereby leading to direct transcription of a reporter gene.  Regulated intracellular protein association with our cell permeable, synthetic ligands offers new capabilities in biological research and medicine, in particular, in gene therapy. Using gene transfer techniques to introduce our artificial receptors, one can turn on or off the signaling pathways that lead to the overexpression of therapeutic proteins by administering orally active "dimerizers" or "de-dimerizers", respectively. Since cells from different recipients can be configured to have the pathway overexpress different therapeutic proteins for use in a variety of disorders, the dimerizers have the potential to serve as "universal drugs". They can also be viewed as cell permeable, organic replacements for therapeutic antisense agents or for proteins that would otherwise require intravenous injection or intracellular expression (e.g., the LDL receptor or the CFTR protein).

Patent IL-71696-A (IL)
Title: Apparatus and method for producing color images
IPC: G03G15/01
Filed: 1984-04-29
Abstract: Apparatus and method for producing qualitatively high-grade color images of originals such as copy masters for multi-color or process printing by exposing chromatic material wherein the originals are scanned point-by-point and line-by-line and the color signals thus obtained are converted into color density values for the chromatic material by means of a correction of color and of gradation. The drive values for a color exposure unit which exposes the chromatic material point-wise and line-wise are generated from the color density values using a linearization process. As a result of signal inversion color positive originals can be recorded as color negatives and vice versa. The exposure process can be matched to every chromatic material independently of the nature of the original to be reproduced and the state of the developing process by means of changing the color density values according to an arbitrarily selectable correction function and by means of signal inversion.
