Abstract: A method of using an intervertebral disk prosthesis includes the step of ensuring that the intervertebral space between first and second vertebrae of a patient is substantially free of nuclear matter. The method also includes the step of inserting a distal end of the disk prosthesis into a gap between the first and second vertebrae. The disk prosthesis includes a first part with a convexly-shaped and rounded outer surface and an inner surface having a concavely-shaped socket. The disk prosthesis also includes a second part that has a convexly-shaped and rounded outer surface and an inner surface that has a convexly-shaped portion that at least partially engages with the socket thereby allowing at least two-degrees of freedom of movement of the first part with respect to the second part. The method further includes the step of permitting the top of the first part to contact the first vertebra and the bottom of the second part to contact the second vertebra.

Abstract: Provided is a method for screening for effective agents for the treatment of cancer which method comprises selecting a putative agent that is likely to disrupt a function mediated by a critical normal gene product, which function is required for the successful division and continued cell survival of cancer cells, and which function is not required for the successful division and continued cell survival of control cells, treating a cancer cell sample and a control cell sample with a purative agent and determining the cytotoxic effect of, and/or the growth inhibitory effect of the putative agent on these samples, and identifying an effective agent as an agent which is more cytotoxic to, and/or more inhibiting to the growth of the cancer cell sample than the control cell sample. This invention further provides an effective agent identified by this screening method and a method of treating a cancer patient with such an agent.

Abstract: A multi-turn pulse width modulation (PWM) generator for
generating a PWM output corresponding to multiple 360 degree
turns. A counter receives a reference signal, and counts a
number of cycles of the reference signal to generate a binary
output corresponding to the number of cycles counted. A
frequency divider receives a sensor output signal, and divides
the frequency of the sensor output signal by the number of turns
in the multiple turns to generate a frequency divided signal.
The sensor output signal has substantially the same frequency as
the reference signal, but can be offset in phase from the
reference signal. A demultiplexer receives the binary output,
and generates a plurality of turn indicator signals, each
corresponding to one of the multiple turns. A multiplexer
receives the turn indicator signals and a mechanical turn
indication signal, and selects one of the turn indicator signals
that corresponds to the mechanical turn indication signal. At
least one flip flop receives the selected one of the turn
indicator signals and the frequency divided signal, and generates
the PWM output using the selected one of the turn indicator
signals and the frequency divided signal. The multi-turn PWM
generator may be combined with a single-turn angular position
sensor to form a multi-turn angular position sensor.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un répéteur de communication utilisé en association avec un sous-système émetteur-récepteur de base (BTS) d'un système de communication. Ledit répéteur étend la zone de couverture du BTS et permet aux récepteurs d'identifier si la source d'un signal de communication provient directement d'un BTS ou est diffusée par un répéteur. L'identification de la source de signal facilite la détermination de position, en particulier, dans des systèmes de détermination de position hybrides. Le répéteur met en oeuvre une modulation de retard différentiel du signal transmis. Il retransmet le signal BTS d'origine ainsi qu'une version de temporisation retardée de ce signal. En outre, il introduit une diversité de chemins synthétiques sous forme de diversité spatiale ou polaire afin de décorréler le signal d'origine retransmis à partir du signal de temporisation retardé. Il peut diffuser le signal retardé avec la même puissance que le signal retransmis d'origine et atténuer le signal retardé par rapport au signal d'origine retransmis.
