  • Publication number: 20090155280
    Abstract: The invention relates to antibody compositions and use of the composition to detect disease processes associated with elaboration of proteases. The reagents are directed to assessing an IgG breakdown product that is the result of such proteolytic cleavage. The invention further relates to the use of a therapeutic immunospecific for IgG breakdown products retaining antigen binding but having lost effector functions.

  • Publication number: 20080147585
    Abstract: A system (1) comprises a physical surgical simulator (11) which transmits data concerning physical movement of training devices to an analysis engine (12). The engine (12) automatically generates rules for a rule base (13a) in a learning system (13). The learning system (13) also comprises content objects (13b) and 3D scenario objects (13c). A linked set of a 3D scenario object (13c), a rule base (13a), and a content object (13b) are together a lesson (10). Another simulator (14) is operated by a student. This transmits data concerning physical movement of training devices by a student to a verification engine (15). The verification engine (15) interfaces with the rule base (13a) to display the lesson in the manner defined by the lesson rule base (13a). It calculates performance measures defined in the lesson rule base (13a). It also records the performance measures into a lesson record (18) and it adapts the display of the lesson in line with the parameters defined in the lesson rule base (13a).

  • Publication number: 20070271596
    Abstract: A secure system includes a user authentication device including memory, a microCPU, an authentication factor input and a communication port. The authentication device interacts with a securely monitored device including an identification transmitter that broadcasts information. A user is granted access to receive the broadcast information from the securely monitored device through the user authentication device after the user is authenticated by the user authentication device. A method of receiving information from a secured a device comprises the steps of receiving information broadcast from a securely monitored device to a user authentication device that includes memory for storing information regarding one or more authentication factors, a microCPU, an authentication factor input and a communication port. A user is authenticated by inputting authentication factors into the user authentication device. If the user is authenticated the received broadcast information to the user.

  • Patent number: 6481840
    Abstract: A method of improving automatic document feed of media printed with phase change inks coats the surface of the phase change inks on the media with fine particles. The particles may include PMMA, glass bead, silica particles, crushed glass particles, kaolin clay, micronized PE and PTFE, calcium carbonate powder, hard inks or toner powder. The particles may be applied to the surface of a transfix drum by oil transfer or electrostatically prior to jetting the phase change ink, or in the case of hard inks may be jetted onto the surface of the transfix drum (offset) with the phase change ink or onto the print media (direct) after application of the phase change ink in an overprint printing process. Also the particles may be applied by a pair of finishing rollers after the media has been printed with the phase change inks, either in a direct or offset print process, the finishing roller on the print side being coated with the fine particles.
