Abstract: An assembly is described for repairing torn tendons by reattaching them to a bone, in particular although not exclusively for repairing a torn rotator cuff tendon, which allows for reduction of the gap between the tendon and the humerus by pushing the tendon onto its attachment site. Also described is a method of repairing a torn rotator cuff tendon by pushing it onto its attachment site and suturing through the humeral head.

Abstract: Methods for providing improvement in Voice-over-IP communication systems, and hardware for implementing the methods, are disclosed. A first aspect provides a method of improving on the efficiency of RTP used to transport VoIP voice calls by reducing the overhead of second and subsequent calls on a link to almost zero using trunking. A second aspect uses bandwidth awareness to compress RTP payload data captured from the network. This involves capturing G.711 encoded RTP data directly from the network ( as opposed to at source ) and transcoding that data in such a way as to take account of the available bandwidth on an outbound link. A third aspect uses dynamic and transparent packet fragmentation and reassembly based on RTP interval to reduce VoIP latency and jitter. A fourth aspect uses dynamic re-writing of SIP messages to provides automatic fail-over and load balancing of SIP servers. This involves capturing SIP call set-up messages and re-writing and duplicating them to direct them to multiple servers.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of inhibiting anandamide amidase in an individual or animal and novel inhibitors of anandamide amidase. The disclosed method and novel compounds can be used to reduce pain in an individual or animal suffering from pain, reducing nausea in an individual undergoing chemotherapy, for example cancer chemotherapy, suppressing appetite in an individual, reducing intraocular pressure in the eye of an individual or animal suffering from glaucoma and suppressing the immune system in an individual with an organ transplant.

Abstract: A cargo transportation apparatus includes an elongated body having a front end and a rear end and defining an interior cavity. The body is configured to selectively define at least three longitudinal compartments within the interior cavity and to provide access to each longitudinal compartment from the rear end. The apparatus also includes an air conditioning system configured to independently control temperature within at least two of the selectively definable longitudinal compartments.
