Patent EP-1291032-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HOERLIN ERNST
IPC: A61M15/06
Filed: 1994-07-25
Abstract: The invention concerns an inhaler device (1) having a
hollow tubular member (2, 102, 402) connected to a chamber
(5, 105, 405). The tubular member has a first opening (3,
103, 203) at one end through which air can be sucked and
the chamber (5, 105, 405) has a hole (4, 104, 204) therein
for entry of air. When air is sucked through the first
opening, air enters the chamber through the hole swirls and
moves towards the first opening (3, 103, 203). To maintain
or increase the swirling effect of the air a single
restriction (10, 110) is arranged between the opening and
the hole (4, 104, 204). A powdered substance (8) within the
chamber is picked up by the swirling air within the chamber
and is uniformly and finely divided by the swirling effect
of the air. The effect can be enhanced by adding a movable
element (6) such as a ball inside the chamber (5) and/or by
providing a central core element (112, 412) inside the
chamber.

the film (6) of material to be measured, said sensor (1) having a central plate (3)
disposed asymmetrically between the two side plates (4, 5), the three plates (3, 4,
5) forming two capacitors (C1, C2) with a common plate (3), characterized in that
means (7) are provided to simultaneously measure the capacitances of said two
capacitors (C1, C2) and to convert the so measured capacitances into a signal
indicative of the thickness of the measured material (6), and that means (8) are also
provided to determine the ratio (τ) between the measured capacitances (C1, C2)
and to derive the thickness of the dielectric film (6) as a function of said ratio (τ).

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus, system and
method for receiving asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) data cells
on an ATM adaptation layer (AAL) configured connection within an
ATM system comprising a digital signal processor (DSP) sub-system
(412) and a host processor (414). The receiver
interfaces directly with the DSP sub-system (412) (which
converts the digitized voice samples into voice signals) and the
host processor (414) (which performs AAL2 signaling and layer
management functions). The receiver filters the AAL2 signaling
and management packets from the AAL2 voice packets using a host
programmable CID filter (550) and UUI filter (560). A match
from either filter (550,560) enables the packet to be forwarded
to the host processor (414). If no match is made in either
filter (550,560), then a look-up is performed in a receive CID
look-up table and the packet is forwarded to the DSP sub-system
(412) on a look-up match.

Abstract: The invention provides novel vectors derived from
adenovirus which are specifically suitable for use in methods
of gene therapy. 
     The vectors have a deletion compared to wild-type
adenovirus in that the E1 region is not present in a
functional manner. 
     Additionally the vectors are characterized in that they
do contain a part of the E3 region of adenovirus which is
biologically functional. This results in vectors which do
normally not lead to expression of adenoviral proteins, but
which in the cases where such proteins do become expressed
will repress the host's immunological response to said
proteins. Thereby host cells infected (provided) with the
vector will live longer. Therefor the product introduced into
said cells providing the therapy will be produced in larger
amounts, or at least for a prolonged period. Preferably the
vector comprises genetic information for antisense therapy, or
for genes which will combat tumors, such as genes encoding
cytokines, preferably IL-1, or so called suicide genes, such
as Herpes Simplex Virus thymidine kinase. 
     Methods for producing said vectors and methods of gene
therapy or uses therein are also disclosed.

Abstract: A conditional execution apparatus in a microprocessor is
provided. The conditional execution apparatus includes
translation logic and extended execution logic. The translation
logic translates an extended instruction into corresponding micro
instructions. The extended instruction has and extended prefix

extended instruction depends upon realization of the condition.
The extended prefix tag indicates the extended prefix, where the
extended prefix tag is an otherwise architecturally specified
opcode within an instruction set for the microprocessor. The
extended execution logic is coupled to the translation logic. The
extended execution logic receives the corresponding micro
instructions, and evaluates the condition. If the condition is
not realized, then the extended execution logic precludes
execution of the operation.

Abstract: A magnetoresistive element is disclosed having a
current-perpendicular-to-the-plane (CPP) structure. A
smaller electrode layer (45b) of an upper electrode

(55). A domain controlling film (46) of an insulating
material is formed adjacent to the smaller electrode
layer on the surface of the free magnetic layer.
Magnetization of the free magnetic layer (55) is

exchange coupling between the domain controlling film
(46) and the free magnetic layer. An electric
connection is established between the free magnetic
layer (55) and the upper electrode (45) only through
the smaller electrode layer (45b). The path of a
sensing current can be reduced in the free and a pinned
magnetic layer. A higher sensitivity can thus be
obtained in the CPP structure magnetoresistive element.
Effective magnetic core width can also be reduced in
