Title: Cooling arrangement for turbine rotor
Inventor: PRZYBYTKOWSKI STANISLAW
IPC: F01D5/08
Filed: 1998-12-17
Abstract: A cooling arrangement for a bladed rotor in a gas turbine engine, wherein each of the blades includes cooling air passages and a cover with curved fins is mounted adjacent to but connected to the rotor and spaced apart slightly from the rotor disc to form a passageway for the cooling fluid. The cooling arrangement includes a tapered, conically shaped inlet formed in the cooling passage which then diverges to form a diffuser near the outer end of the passageway. The cover includes an enlarged inner portion and a thin outer wall portion beyond the free ring diameter. A hammerhead is formed at the outer periphery of the cover whereby the hammerhead will move closer to the disc in response to centrifugal forces, thus sealing the passage.

Title: Cancer treatment methods using antibodies to aminophospholipids
Inventor: THORPE PHILIP E
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1999-07-12
Abstract: Disclosed are the surprising discoveries that aminophospholipids, such as phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine, are stable and specific markers accessible on the luminal surface of tumor blood vessels, and that t he administration of an anti-aminophospholipid antibody alone is sufficient to induce thrombosis, tumor necrosis and tumor regression in vivo. This inventi on therefore provides anti-aminophospholipid antibody-based methods and compositions for use in the specific destruction of tumor blood vessels and in the treatment of solid tumors. Although various antibody conjugates and combinations are thus provided, the use of naked, or unconjugated, anti- phosphatidylserine antibodies is a particularly important aspect of the invention, due to simplicity and effectiveness of the approach.

Title: System and method for measuring and locating a mobile station signal in a wireless communication system
Inventor: WEISS ANTHONY J
IPC: G01S5/00
Filed: 1999-08-19
Abstract: A communication system comprises a reference base station (110A) which collects on or more signal features of a mobile station signal. The reference base station (110A) determines a first location (120) parameter of the mobile station signal it receives. The reference base station (110A) forwards the signal features to an auxiliary base station (130). Using the signal features, the auxiliary base station (110B) creates a replica of the mobile station signal (132) as transmitted by the mobile station. The auxiliary base station (110B) uses the second set of signal features to determine a second location parameter. The position of the mobile station is determined using the first and second location parameters. The process maybe repeated at a plurality of auxiliary base station (110B-110G) and for a plurality of different location parameters in order to improve the accuracy of the determination of mobile station location.

IPC: E02F9/26
Filed: 2001-07-19
Abstract: A low friction bearing for a linearly moveable member has a marker embedded in it to provide a visible mark on the moveable member to indicate that the bearing is worn out and needs replacing. The low friction bearing has a first side surface for slidingly engagement with the linearly moveable member with a non-moveable member. The marker is embedded in the low friction bearing at a predetermined distance from the first side surface. The low friction bearing wears on the first side surface until the marker is exposed to the linearly moveable member. Continued exposure of the marker to the linearly moveable member creates a visible mark on the linearly moveable member to indicate that the low friction bearing has reached its wear limit.

Patent CA-2362198-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RUDOLPH MICHAEL JOSEPH
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2001-11-14
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for restricting call terminations for a roaming mobile unit. A serving MSC, which is an MSC providing call processing a mobile unit that is not the home MSC of the mobile unit, sends a registration notification request to the home location register (HLR). The HLR retrieves the termination access code parameter from the HLR and sends it to the serving MSC. The termination access code parameter includes a value that indicates if the mobile unit is allowed to roamer port calls. The parameter is stored at a VLR associated with the serving MSC. When a call request comes in to the serving MSC and requests a roamer port call with the mobile unit, the serving MSC checks the value of the termination restriction code to determine if it should terminate, or complete, the call.
