Title: Surgical knife safety handle having user operable lock
Inventor: COTE DANA M
IPC: A61B17/32
Filed: 2005-10-19
Granted: 2013-07-02
Abstract: [00128] A surgical knife safety device (10 or 100) having a handle (20 or 120), a blade (40 or 140) connected to the handle, and a guard (30 or 130) carried by the handle for sliding movement between a retracted position in which the blade is exposed for use, and an extended position for covering the sharp cutting edge of the blade. In the retracted position, an enlarged guard (30 or 130) radius is provided at the distal end of the handle (20 or 120) to allow improved handle control and blade orientation. The enlarged guard radius is positioned to allow the user to firmly grip a large distal handle portion which is preferably molded as a single piece with the blade holder (26 or 126), preventing unwanted blade or handle movement due to guard mechanism tolerances. A spring, such as leaf spring or a cantilever beam (52 or 152), and a pair of detents (54, 56) or slots (154, 156) are provided to fix the guard (30 or 130) in the extended or retracted position and to provide resistance during movement between the two positions. Additionally, a pushback prevention mechanism, a user operable lock and a drop-force operable lock are provided to prevent accidental retraction of the guard from the fully extended and guarded position.

Title: Plants with reduced expression of phosphatase type 2c gene for enhanced pathogen resistance
Inventor: XIAO SHUNYUAN
IPC: C12N15/82
Filed: 2005-12-13
Granted: 2012-02-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for down regulating an Arabidopsis protein phosphatase type 2C gene, referred to as "defense-associated protein phosphatase type 2C one" (DAPP1) that functions as a negative regulator of a plant defense pathway. The method includes contacting the DAPP] gene or gene mRNA with an interfering nucleotide sequence that interacts with the gene and reducing expression thereof. Plants including such interfering nucleotide sequence exhibit increased disease resistance to pathogens even in the absence of R genes. Close homologs of DAPPI exist in multiple crop species, and as such, the controlled down-regulation of homologous genes in a variety of crop species will enhance disease resistance of target crop species to pathogens.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil destiné à vaporiser un liquide et à chauffer le liquide vaporisé jusqu'à une température élevée. L'appareil est doté d'une paroi de transfert de chaleur présentant une surface extérieure destinée à recevoir de la chaleur et à transférer la chaleur à une surface intérieure. Un matériau pour mèche est disposé de telle sorte qu'une partie du matériau pour mèche soit en contact avec la surface intérieure et qu'une autre partie soit écartée de la paroi de transfert de chaleur. Un support de mèche en contact avec le matériau pour mèche en face de la surface intérieure de la paroi de transfert de chaleur assure un support structural au matériau pour mèche et donne en outre un chemin d'écoulement du liquide vaporisé à partir du matériau pour mèche. Un liquide vaporisable est amené jusqu'à la partie du matériau pour mèche qui se trouve à l'écart de la paroi de transfert de chaleur et on le laisse migrer vers la partie qui se trouve en contact avec la surface intérieure. La chaleur provenant de la surface intérieure convertit le liquide en un liquide vaporisé. Eventuellement, un combustible gazeux peut être introduit dans le support de mèche en vue de préchauffer et de se mélanger avec le liquide vaporisé. Le liquide vaporisé s'écoule hors du matériau pour mèche à travers le support de mèche et dans un surchauffeur en aval qui contient de préférence un dispositif d'échange de chaleur. Ledit dispositif d'échange de chaleur est en communication thermique avec la surface intérieure de la paroi de transfert de chaleur afin de recevoir de la chaleur et de la transférer au liquide vaporisé. L'appareil peut comprendre des unités de vaporisation multiples reliées à des sources de chaleur communes et / ou différentes. L'invention concerne également des procédés de construction d'un appareil destiné à vaporiser un liquide et des procédés de vaporisation d'un liquide.

Abstract: A multiuser scheme allowing for a number of users, sets of user, or carriers to share one or more channels is provided. In the invention, the available channel bandwidth is subdivided into a number of equal-bandwidth subchannels according to standard OFDM practice. The transmitter is informed by an application that it needs to transmit data a particular rate. The transmitter determines the minimum number of subchannels and maximum energy (or noise) threshold for each subchannel necessary to achieve that data rate and selects a set of subchannels matching those requirements. The subchannels need not be contiguous in the spectrum or belong to the same channel. Once the transmitter has selected the required number of subchannels, it begins transmitting simultaneously on those subchannels across the entire bandwidth used by those subchannels.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a current generation architecture for an implantable stimulator device such as an Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG). Current source and sink circuitry are both divided into coarse and fine portions, which respectively can provide a coarse and fine current resolution to a specified electrode on the IPG. The coarse portion is distributed across all of the electrodes and so can source or sink current to any of the electrodes. The coarse portion is divided into a plurality of stages, each of which is capable via an associated switch bank of sourcing or sinking a coarse amount of current to or from any one of the electrodes on the device. The fine portion of the current generation circuit preferably includes source and sink circuitry dedicated to each of the electrode on the device, which can comprise digital-to-analog current converters (DACs). The DACs also receives the above-noted reference current, which is amplified by the DACs in fine increments by appropriate selection of fine current control signals. When the coarse and fine current control circuitry are used in tandem, ample current with a fine current resolution can be achieved at any electrode and in a space- and power-efficient manner.
