Abstract: In a communication system having a transmission station which transmits the datasignal and a receiving station which receives the data signal, the transmission station consists of an adding means for adding an error detecting code showing a position of a transmission error, which occurs on said data signal, in said data signal to said data signal and a retransmission means for retransmission of a part in said data signal when said receiving station requests the retransmission of the part in said data signal. The receiving station consists of a judgment means for judging a position of the transmission error in said data signal on the basis of the error detecting code which is added by the adding means and a request means for requesting the retransmission of the part containing the transmission error in the data signal on the basis of the position of the transmission error.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for reducing a pathology in a subject characterized by a deleterious accumulation of TGF-.beta.-induced extracellular matrix in a tissue by introducing a nucleic acid encoding a TGF .beta.-specific inhibitory agent or active fragment thereof into a cell in the subject. In one embodiment, the nucleic acid encoding the TGF-.beta.-specific inhibitory agent is introduced into a cell in vivo by injection, for example, in skeletal muscle. In another embodiment, the nucleic acid encoding the TGF .beta.-specific inhibitory agent is transfected into a cell ex vivo to obtain a cell expressing the agent, and the cell is then administered into the subject to be treated. TGF-.beta.-specific inhibitory agents of the present invention include, but are not limited to, members of the decorin family of proteoglycans such as decorin, biglycan, fibromodulin and lumican or an antibody specific for TGF-.beta.. Pathologies that can be reduced by the present invention include various fibrotic diseases and conditions.

Abstract: A method and multicoupler for a receiver at a base station in a cellular/PCS radio communication system includes a cooled container (10(10) that is mounted on an antenna tower (12) at the base station. The container (10) is mounted on the antenna tower adjacent an antenna and contains thereinside a preselector filter (14), a highly linear amplifier (16), and a directional coupler (18) that are cooled to a temperature less than 175 K and greater than 100 K. A power split-ter (24) is connected between the output from the container and the radio system receiver, and is located at a ground station near the base of the antenna tower (12).  Cooling the components inside the container (10), particularly the amplifier, to a temperature of about 150 K  reduces the noise from the multicoupler so that base station range is extended, building penetration is improved, and subscriber transmit power may be reduced. The multicoupler may also be used for duplex channels, and in this event a transmit filter may also be cooled to reduce transmit power dissipation by the filter.

Abstract: An aspirated-type detector includes a housing with an internal ambient condition sensing region and a sensor carried therein. The housing is perforated with ambient atmosphere inflow ports. A fan or similar device lowers the pressure in the internal region thereby producing a positive inflow of adjacent; external ambient atmosphere into the sensing region. Alternatively, the fan can be operated to inject exterior ambient atmosphere into the sensing chamber under positive pressure. The fan can also be modularized. The detector can incorporate control circuitry for supervisory or signal processing purposes.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for enlargement of soft tissue, such as breasts or a penis, is comprised of a dome (12) configured to fit over the area of desired augmentation. The dome has a rim (34) with a surface area sized to prevent excessive contact pressure to the skin when a suction force of sufficient magnitude to cause enlargement of the soft tissue is applied to the soft tissue by the dome. A dome for applying a vacuum to a patient's skin surface is comprised of a generally rigid dome capable of withstanding a pressure differential, with a rim cushion (46) underlying the rim of the dome for supporting a rim from the patient's skin surface. The rim may be generally wider than the dome in order to distribute the attendant forces across a greater surface and avoid tissue damage. A sticky sole underlies the rim cushion and seals the rim cushion to the patient's skin to thereby preserve the vacuum within the dome.

Title: Improved inversion carbon blacks and method for their manufacture
Inventor: MESSER PAUL
IPC: C09C1/48
Filed: 1999-04-08
Granted: 2007-12-11
Abstract: Inversion carbon blacks and a method for their manufacture and disclosed. The inversion carbon blacks have a smaller rolling resistance with identical or improved wet sliding behavior. The particle size distribution contains a smaller proportion of particles with large diameters. This leads to an improved abrasion behavior of rubber compounds which were prepared using these carbon blacks. The inversion carbon blacks can be manufactured in conventional carbon black reactors by controlling the combustion in the combustion chamber in such a manner that carbon black nuclei form, which are immediately brought into contact with the carbon black raw material. The carbon blacks present a lower proportion of larger particles if the additions of combustion air and carbon black raw material are increased in an appropriate manner.
