Publication number: 20130142311Abstract: A method of operating an x-ray unit that supplies the maximum power at all times, for which the supply or input voltage at the x-ray tube must be half the power supply voltage ((Vbat)/2 or (Vline)/2), which will be termed the reference voltage (Vref). In case of a deviation from the reference voltage, the method modifies the current supplied, changing the exposure time so that the maximum power is delivered at all times. In short, it is based on a method that regulates the tube current as a function of the supply voltage (of the batteries or the grid).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2010Publication date: June 6, 2013Inventors: Angel Diaz Carmena, Anibal Gomez Rodriguez, Francisco Diaz Carmena

Publication number: 20120177683Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for preparing vesicles. In general, these methods include steps of providing a lyophilized lipid product and rehydrating the lyophilized lipid product with an aqueous solution comprising an antigen such that antigen-containing vesicles are formed. The lyophilized lipid product is prepared by dissolving vesicle-forming lipids in a polar-protic water-miscible organic solvent to produce a lipid solution and then lyophilizing the lipid solution. The present disclosure also provides antigen-containing vesicle formulations prepared using these methods. The present disclosure also provides kits that include a lyophilized lipid product in a first container and an aqueous solution comprising an antigen in a second container.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2010Publication date: July 12, 2012Applicant: VARIATION BIOTECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: David E.

Publication number: 20120021403Abstract: The invention relates to the discovery of a human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) family, Type I HERV-K (HML-2) which appear to be active in vitro and in vivo, infectious, and which have the have the salient features and properties of foamy retroviruses. Based on its natural replication in humans, and that it protects the host from viral and tumor transformation, this non-pathogenic endogenous virus could be developed as a replication competent gene therapy vector. It also is expected to have much higher efficacy than other vectors as it crosses the bloodbrain barrier and infects almost all cell types in the host (proliferating or not). It may naturally lyse tumor cells or infected cells, and thus could even be used without genetic modification. Of course, this vector could be used in traditional ways with it ability to replicate genetically removed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2011Publication date: January 26, 2012Inventors: Marian Laderoute, Antonio Giulivi, Francisco Diaz-Mitoma, Louise Larocque
