  • Method of treatment and agents useful for same
    Publication number: 20120177654
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method for the treatment and prophylaxis of inflammatory conditions. The present invention is predicated in part on the identification of cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage being critical for inflammation and, in particular, chronic inflammation. In accordance with the present invention, it is proposed that the reduction in levels of monocyte/macrophage-type cells and/or a reduction in the production of inflammatory and pro-inflammatory mediators by these cells, especially locally, is effective in reducing inflammatory conditions. The present invention further provides animal models useful for screening for reducing levels of monocyte/macrophage-type cells and/or reducing the production of inflammatory and pro-inflammatory mediators of these cells.

    Patent number: 8215648
    Abstract: A collet mounting assembly for a die bonder comprises a collet mount having a first end attached to the die bonder and a second end opposite the first end with a cavity defined in the second end for receiving a shaft of the collet. The collet mounting assembly further comprises a fastener for securing the collet inside the cavity of the collet mount. A compression force is generated around the shaft of the collet received in the collet mount by the flexing of the fastener when it is attached to the collet mount, for securing the collet within the cavity of the collet mount.

  • ANCHORING SYSTEM FOR A MEDICAL ARTICLE
    Publication number: 20120136314
    Abstract: An anchoring system (10) for securing a catheter (8) to a patient includes an anchor pad (12) and a retainer (20). The retainer (20) is supported by the anchor pad (12) and includes a base (22) and a cover (24). A groove (30) upon the base (22) is arranged to receive a branching site (112) of a catheter where the lumens merge distal to the insertion site. One or more posts (74, 78) also protrude from the base (22) to the cover (24) at a position which will be disposed between the two distal branches of the catheter (18). The cover (24) closes over the base (22). securing the branching site (112) between the groove and the posts. The contact between the retainer and catheter thereby inhibits inadvertent motion of the catheter upon the patient. A latch mechanism (80) is disposed upon the retainer to maintain the cover in a closed position over the branching site of the catheter on the base.

    Abstract: A linear switched reluctance motor comprises a movable coil bracket including first and second coil assemblies. Each of the first and second coil assemblies further comprises a plurality of coils separately wound around a plurality of motor coil cores, each of the coils being configured to receive a sinusoidal current at a different phase from other coils comprised in the same coil assembly. Tooth members of a stator track are located adjacent to the motor coil cores such that a magnetic flux path is created which passes through the motor coil core, the stator track and an air gap between the motor coil core and the stator track. A multiple-phase motor driver electrically connected to the first and second coil assemblies generates symmetric multiple-phase sinusoidal currents for driving the motor.

  • INTEGRATED LABORATORY LIGHT FIXTURE
    Publication number: 20110122603
    Abstract: The integrated laboratory light (lablight) fixture is a sealed ceiling mounted fixture that combines air outlets, lighting and other devices for use in laboratory, clean room, healthcare, educational, and other facilities requiring critical airflow control. The integrated lablight is made for a central location in the lab to eliminate room scale eddies and cross drafts along with the hood challenges they present. The combining of most ceiling devices in one fixture results in a safer environment with greater access for above ceiling maintenance, as well as less expensive facility capital costs. The fixture design also minimizes shadows at the work surface, and promotes temperature stability for temperature sensitive equipment.
