Inventor: WILK PETER J
IPC: A61M5/00
Filed: 1999-09-10
Abstract: Left ventricular conduits and related methods are disclosed for achieving bypass of a partially or completely occluded coronary artery. More broadly, conduits for allowing communication of bodily fluids from one portion of a patient's body to another and related methods are disclosed, including conduits for forming a blood flow path from a chamber of the heart to a vessel or from one vessel to another. In other embodiments, the conduits achieve a coronary artery bypass by allowing blood communication between the left ventricle and the coronary artery or between a proximal portion of the coronary artery and a distal portion of the coronary artery. The conduits may be placed completely through the heart wall or extend only partially therein. Conduits may take on a variety of configurations for allowing the control of blood flow therethrough, including curved or tapered shapes. The conduits may also follow a variety of paths, including direct transmyocardial communication between the left ventricle and the coronary artery, or through the myocardium and into the interpericardial space and then into the coronary artery. The conduits may be implanted through a variety of methods, including minimally invasive techniques. Also disclosed are various preferred embodiments of medical devices and related methods for implanting the conduits including rigid delivery rods for penetrating bodily tissue. The delivery rods may be solid, thus being trocar-like, or hollow to form a self-implantable conduit. Other preferred rod embodiments may have the conduits mounted thereon and take the form of a stylet or the like. The conduits may be on-piece, continuous conduits or made up of a number of plural sections joined together. Disclosures of various anastomosis devices are provided.

Title: Waste disposal process
Inventor: WOLF BERND MICHAEL
IPC: A62D3/40
Filed: 1990-10-06
Abstract: In a process for the disposal of toxic and/or infectious waste, especially highly halogenated solids, plastic containers, hospital waste and the like, to recover useful substances and render inert non-recyclable and unoutgassable residues, outgassing by the pyrolytic process is used, with air excluded and a reduced oxygen content, followed by the direct incineration of the distillation gases obtained from pyrolysis or their cracking to form a pyrolysis separation gas. The waste to be disposed of is inserted in an autoclave (2), partially outgassed there for a period of 20 minutes to 6 hours at about 250 to 320 C in an initial outgassing stage, then cooled and made into a granulate or pellets measuring from 1 to 50 mm, which are subsequently treated by the pyrolysis outgassing method in a second outgassing stage at a temperature of 550 to 600 C. This generates distillation gas which is separated from the residues, like carbon, ash, heavy metal particles and other components. The liquid partial outgassing intermediate products, like oil and/or coal tars, produced in the autoclave (2) are taken to the second outgassing stage, while the distillation gas separated off in the first outgassing stage in the autoclave (2) is taken off and added to the stream of distillation gas from the second outgassing stage.

Title: Compositions for the detection of enzyme activity in biological samples and methods of use thereof
Inventor: KOMORIYA AKIRA
IPC: C12N5/071
Filed: 1998-02-20
Abstract: The present invention provides for novel reagents whose fluorescence increases in the presence of particular proteases. The reagents comprise a characteristically folded peptide backbone conjugated to two fluorophores such that the fluorophores are located opposite sides of a cleavage site. When the folded peptide is cleaved, as by digestion with a protease, the fluorophores provide a high intensity fluorescent signal at a visible wavelength. Because of their high specificity and their high fluorescence signal in the visible wavelengths, these protease indicators are particularly well suited for detection of protease activity in biological samples, in particular in frozen tissue sections. Thus this invention also provides for methods of detecting protease activity in situ in frozen sections.

Filed: 2000-09-06
Abstract: The invention relates to an internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle (A) in which a mixture of combustion air and fuel is burnt in at least one combustion chamber (2). The internal combustion engine comprises an adsorption device (1) which has at least one adsorber (3, 4) with a nitrogen-adsorbing agent, for enriching the combustion air with oxygen by separating off at least part of the nitrogen from said combustion air. The aim of the invention is to apply the advantages of adsorption technology in the area of motor vehicles and motor vehicle internal combustion engines and especially, to provide a motor vehicle internal combustion engine of this type whose adsorption device is simply and economically constructed and is suitable for series use, and a method for operating an engine of this type. To this end, the adsorption device (1) is configured and located in the motor vehicle in such a way that only part of the combustion air that is supplied to the combustion process is oxygen-enriched. Non-oxygen enriched combustion air is delivered to the combustion chamber (2) via a line (41) that is independent of the adsorption device (1) and oxygen-enriched combustion air is delivered via a separate supply.

Title: Method and apparatus for dynamic and interdependent processing of inbound calls and outbound calls
Inventor: SZLAM ALEKSANDER
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 1991-05-08
Abstract: A method for optimizing the pacing and processing of inbound calls and outbound calls. Statistics are generated concerning inbound calls and outbound calls, and concerning the performance of each agent for inbound calls and outbound calls. Separate statistics concerning inbound calls and outbound calls allow a more accurate prediction of call pacing and handling requirements and of the availability of an agent so as to maximize the productivity of each agent and control the on-hold time of inbound and outbound calls. Each trunk line is designated for inbound calls or outbound calls and the status of each trunk is monitored. If all of the trunks allocated to inbound service are in use then some of the trunks designated for outbound service are redesignated for inbound service. If more than a predetermined number of trunks designated for inbound service are not in use then some of these trunks will be redesignated for outbound service. Therefore, the rate of answering of inbound calls and the rate of placement of outbound calls, and the allocation of trunks between inbound calls and outbound calls are driven by the frequency, duration and number of calls and user-selectable options. <IMAGE>

Title: High-throughput assay
Inventor: BURBAUM JONATHAN J
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 1998-06-01
Abstract: A homogeneous high throughput assay is described which screens compounds for enzyme inhibition, or receptor or other target binding. Inhibition (or binding) by the library compounds causes a change in the amount of an optically detectable label that is bound to suspendable cells or solid supports. The amounts of label bound to individual cells or solid supports are microscopically determined, and compared with the amount of label that is not bound to individual cells or solid supports. The degree of inhibition or binding is determined using this data. Confocal microscopy, and subsequent data analysis, allow the assay to be carried out without any separation step, and provide for high throughput screening of very small assay volumes using very small amounts of test compound.
