Abstract: A method of multi-domain authorisation/authentication on a computer network comprises: a user making a request to a policy enforcement point of a computer for access to information on the computer; providing a location address for a user's authorisation and/or authentication information, a policy decision point of the service on the computer network then verifying the authorisation/authentication information; and the user being given access by the PEP to the information or the service requested, if the request is accepted, wherein the user's authorisation/authentication and/or further information is located on a meta policy decision point (MPDP).

Abstract: The present invention relates to the prevention of restenosis of vascular passages following surgical removal of obstructions, by means of local administration of farnesyl transferase inhibitors to the vascular wall. This allows effective use of particularly low dosages with minimal side effects.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to immuno-interactive agents which are capable of interacting with an epitope on a molecule in or on dendritic cells (DC). More particularly, the present invention provides immunological reagents such as but not limited to immunoglobulin agents which are capable of interacting with an epitope on a molecule present on or within a subset of DC. Generally, the DC are a subset of DC which have been subjected to differentiation stimulus. The resulting differentiated, activated subset of DC produce a molecule comprising an immunologically detectable epitope which is not detectable in non-differentiated DC. The present invention further relates to cell lines which produce the instant immuno-interactive molecules and to a method for identifying and purifying the above-mentioned subset of DC from a biological sample such as blood using the instant immuno-interactive molecules.

Abstract: A pressure vessel has a cylindrical side wall and a closed end joined to the side wall at a knuckle. The fatigue resistance of the pressure vessel is improved by autofrettage which moves a region of peak stress from the internal surface of the vessel to a region within the knuckle. Preferred are pressurized gas vessels of 6000 or 7000 series aluminum alloys.

Abstract: A ball grid array inspection and location method and apparatus includes a raw feature finding processor which uses a feature finding algorithm to find ball features (irrespective of number) and generate a list of raw features as an X and Y location for each feature located. An angle estimation processor receives the list of raw features, a user estimated orientation angle, and ball-to-ball pitch information and determines an estimated grid angle. An on-grid check processor receives the estimated grid angle, the list of raw features and the ball-to-ball pitch information and produces a set or list of on-grid features in the form of a list X and Y translation parameters for each feature/ball found on-grid.

Abstract: A method of treating a patient having a highly vascular tumor includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of dextrin sulphate to the patient. The highly vascular tumor can be, for example, Kaposi's sarcoma. The treatment results in regression of the tumors and the improvement persists for a considerable time after completion of the treatment.

Abstract: The translucency of a material is determined by illuminating the material and detecting the intensity of radiation leaving the material as a function of distance from the radiation source. The resulting measurements may be used to determine a "translucency gradient" for the material. In the case of materials in sheet form or having a defined thickness, the translucency can be measured in transmission mode or back scattering mode to measure "through translucency" or "surface translucency".

Abstract: The invention provides a two-phase method for identifying sets of collinear points in data points, e.g., derived from an image. During a first phase, the "angle-finding" phase, the angular orientation of the lines defined by the sets of points is estimated. During a second phase, the "line-finding" phase, sets of collinear points aligned at that angle are identified. The invention has application, for example, in finding parallel and perpendicular point sets in an image.
