Abstract: Methods for protecting a T cell from cell death are described. The methods involve contacting the T cell with an agent which augments the bcl-XL protein level in the T cell such that it is protected from cell death. The invention further pertains to methods for increasing the susceptibility of a T cell to cell death, comprising contacting the T cell with at least one agent which decreases bcl-XL protein level in the T cell. Both in vivo and in vitro methods are described.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for correcting thermal drift in cardiac output measurements based upon a temperature signal indicative of the change in temperature of blood leaving the heart is disclosed. In a first preferred embodiment of a cardiac output monitoring system (10), the catheter (14) is provided with an electrical resistance heater (22). An electrical current having a sinusoidal waveform with a period of from 30 to 60 seconds is applied to the heater, causing power to be dissipated into the blood within a patient's heart (12). A temperature sensor (24) disposed near a distal end of the catheter produces a signal indicative of the temperature of blood leaving the heart. The temperature signal and the signal corresponding to the electrical power dissipated in the heater (an input signal) are filtered at a frequency  omega n corresponding to the frequency of the applied electrical current, i.e., the frequency of the input signal. An output signal indicative of the temperature of the blood leaving the heart corrected for the effects of thermal drift is then calculated. The blood temperature output signal is first split into two equal overlapping time periods. The two signals are then filtered separately to produce two partially independent output signals in the frequency domain. These two frequency domain output signals are then combined into a single corrected frequency domain output signal with the effects of thermal drift removed. The amplitude of the input power, the amplitude of the temperature signal corrected for thermal drift, and their phase difference are then used in calculating cardiac output.

Abstract: A cover for a laryngoscope which includes a generally elongated cylindrical handle, a branch member and an insertion member. The cover generally comprises an end sheath, a Y-branch portion connected to the end sheath and two cylindrical sleeves connected to the Y-branch portion. The tapered sheath covers the insertion member and has a closed end. The Y-branch portion covers an area adjacent the joint between the handle and the branch member and preferably comprises an expandable structure. Each of the cylindrical sleeve covers the handle and the branch member, respectively. As a result, the laryngoscope itself is shielded from the contact with the interior of the mouth and the larynx. Once the cover is used, the cover may be discarded. Accordingly, cleaning and sterilization of the laryngoscope are substantially facilitated and hygienic operation of the laryngoscope is improved.

Abstract: The present invention describes methods for the detoxification of a mixture of nitrile compounds, or a mixture of nitrile and amide compounds by conversion of the nitrile compound(s) to the corresponding amide or acid compounds using a pure culture of an induced microorganism strain capable of converting a nitrile moiety to an amide or acid moiety. If an amide is formed or is present in the mixture, the amide can be further converted, using the present methods for detoxification, to the corresponding acid. The acid can then, if desired, be further degraded to CO2, H2O and biomass. The induced pure cultures are able to detoxify a mixture of nitriles or a mixture of nitrites and amides which are typically present, in high concentration(s), in nitrile production waste streams. The present invention further discloses methods for removing a nitrile compound from an amide preparation, such as an acetamide or acrylamide preparation containing an unwanted nitrile compound, using an induced pure culture of an induced microorganism strain capable of converting a nitrile moiety to an amide or acid moiety. The pure cultures are able to purify or reduce the toxicity of the amide preparation thus improving purity and amide product yield from the amide preparation. The present invention further discloses methods for the conversion of a mixture of amide compounds to the corresponding acid compounds using a pure culture of an induced microorganism strain capable of converting an amide moiety to an acid moiety. This invention also discloses kits, biofilters and methods for use of the kits and biofilters for detoxification containing the useful microorganism strains.

Abstract: A system and method for optimizing the amount of time it takes for a requestor (device) to receive data from a memory storage unit in a multi-requestor bus environment. The present invention provides a unidirectional response signal, referred to as an early warning signal, sent from a memory storage unit to a device, sometime after that device has executed a fetch request for data, to alert the device that the data is forthcoming. This early warning signal allows the device to arbitrate for the data bus so that when the data arrives, the device will have exclusive ownership of the data bus to accept the data immediately. The present invention comprises a main memory, a cache memory, one or more processor modules, one or more I/O modules, and an early warning bus. The cache memory is connected to the main memory via an interface bus. The processor modules are connected to the cache memory via a processor interface bus. The I/O modules are connected to the main memory via an I/O interface bus. Both the processor modules and the I/O modules include means for requesting a data unit from the main memory. The early warning bus is connected between the main memory, the cache memory, and the I/O module.
