Abstract: An active implantable medical device for neurostimulation therapy is disclosed. The device produces stimulation pulse sequences generated continuously in succession during activity periods separated by intermediate inactivity periods during which no stimulation is issued. An input signal, provided by a physiological sensor, representative of cardiac activity and/or of the patient's hemodynamic status is received by circuitry. The circuitry further provides for dynamic control of the neurostimulation therapy, wherein the length of activity periods is modulated based on the current value level of the control parameter compared to a threshold. The duration of the next period of inactivity is calculated by the circuitry at the end of each activity period to maintain a constant duty cycle ratio between periods of activity and periods of inactivity.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of 1-(4,6-dipentyl-5,6-dihydro-2H-1,2,3-oxadiazin-2-yl)-3-hydroxypropan-1-one in treating and/or preventing infections caused by a bacterium, fungus or virus or in treating and/or preventing cancer. Additionally, the invention relates to a process for obtaining the compound of formula (I) of the invention, said process comprising the steps of cultivating a strain of Dolichospermum sp in an aqueous nutrient medium with assimilable carbon and nitrogen sources and salts, under controlled aerobic conditions, and then recovering the compound of general formula (I) from the culture broth.

Abstract: A method and system for protecting passwords offline is disclosed. The invention being comprised of a notebook made from pages having grains of crushed calcium carbonate stone and a combo cipher marker and UV torch. The notebook contains tables and matrices to accommodate the ciphering process, a marker that contains transparent ink to hide passwords and a UV torch to exposes hidden passwords. The passwords themselves are encrypted by means of a process involving character mapping and key codes recorded into the notebook with the combo cipher marker and UV torch. These encrypted passwords remain invisible until the user shines the pages with the UV torch on the cap and passwords can then be retrieved and unscrambled. An object of the invention is to enhance password security by archiving them completely offline and off any electronic networks.
