Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a non-flammable gaseous mixture from a first flammable gas and a second gas in which said first gas is flammable. Air may be extracted from the atmosphere or storage container to be treated. The air is circulated in a conduit (22) via blower (14). A flammable gas is injected (12) into the conduit where it is rapidly diluted to a level below its flammability limit. The method is suitable for unattended automatic treatment over an extended period of time, or a so-called "one shot/quick dump" fumigation where concentrations and flow rates are much higher and the process is under manual supervision.

Granted: 2009-09-08
Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for adapting a navigation device to operate with a plurality of different point of deployment (POD) modules (40) that provides conditional access to video programming. A POD type for a POD module (40) that is interfaced with the multichannel video receiver is first determined, and interface parameters for the POD type are subsequently determined. The multichannel video receiver is then adapted to provide the interface parameters to the POD module (40) interfaces with the multichannel video receiver (50). The POD type may be determined automatically by the multichannel video receiver, or by prompting a user of the multichannel video receiver to determine and input the POD type for the POD module (40) interfaced with the multichannel video receiver.

Abstract: A secondary communications device, such as a modem, a facsimile machine, an automatic meter reader or an answering machine, shares a telephone line with a subscriber's telephone and must grant the telephone primary access to the line. The present invention prevents the secondary device from seizing the line when the telephone is already off-hook and will terminate a line seizure by the secondary device if the subscriber picks up the telephone handset during use of the line by the secondary device. An average interval for charging a capacitor to a threshold voltage in response to an on-hook voltage appearing across the telephone line is determined. When the secondary communications device is ready to use the line, circuitry measures an interval for charging the capacitor in response to the current voltage appearing across the telephone line. The secondary communication device seizes the line only if the measured interval does not exceed the average interval by more than a predetermined amount. After seizure by the secondary communication device, a steady-state condition is brought about between the secondary device, the line steady-state impedance, and the central office voltage source. If the line impedance drops from the steady-state value, the circuitry assumes that the subscriber has taken the telephone off-hook and terminates the line seizure by the secondary device.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for protecting against electrocution hazards that arise when an appliance is electrically connected to a miswired single-phase AC electrical source are described. Protection is provided against miswiring conditions that causes the putative ground line of the electrical source to be either electrically energized or to be electrically open. The apparatus includes one or more sensors that detect if the electrical source is miswired and operate one or more switches which preclude electrical continuity to one or more of the electrical lines of the appliance if a miswiring is detected. The method includes the steps of detecting if the putative ground of the electrical source is electrically energized, and if it is, then precluding electrical continuity between the putative ground of the electrical source and the ground of the appliance.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for accomplishing a noninvasive screen for breast disease markers, including breast cancer markers and cytologically abnormal cells. Intraductal fluid is noninvasively aspirated using compression, heating, and suction cycles. The removed sample is thereafter assayed for the presence of cytologically abnormal cells and/or one or more breast disease markers. Sample size and intraductal mobility of breast disease markers may be enhanced by retrograde introduction of a carrier. A portable, self-contained intraductal fluid aspiration device (20) includes a housing (22), one or more controls and/or indicators (25), and a patient or breast interface (24) having a tissue contacting surface (32) for receiving a breast and a second concavity (38) for receiving a nipple. Preferably, the breast interface (24) is provided with a dynamic compression zone (42), having one or more compression elements (45) for compression in the mid breast region to facilitate intraductal fluid aspiration.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for the development of effective cancer therapies using mitotic inhibitors which have limited general toxicity to normal, non-cancerous cells and tissues are provided. The methods and compositions utilize cytotoxic compounds comprised of a cell-binding agent (e.g., antibodies) conjugated to an anti-mitotic compound (e.g., maytansinoids). The invention further provides antibodies which are substantially incapable of inducing antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and/or complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), thereby ensuring that the therapeutic effect is mediated primarily by the anti-mitotic component of the cytotoxic compound, rather than by indirect cell killing via ADCC and/or CDC. The antibodies of the invention further are capable of differentiating between polypeptide antigens which are more highly expressed on proliferating cancer cells as compared to proliferating non-cancer cells.

A plurality of microphones (11) are arranged on the surface of a baffle (10) of a shape such as a sphere and polyhedron so that sound from all directions are acquired. A calculation device (40) calculates the amplitude characteristic and the phase characteristic of acoustic signals acquired by the microphones (11). The signal information and information on sound field analysis around the baffle are integrated and calculation to emphasize a sound coming from a particular direction is performed for all the directions so as to identify the sound coming direction from a sound source. According to these calculation results and the distance input by an input device (70), it is possible to estimate the sound intensity of the sound source at a plurality of portions generated at the sound source or boundary surface.
