Appl. No.:

10/975237

Inventors:

Robert L. England - Benicia CA, US

International Classification:

Abstract:

A method for objectively determining if a patient suffers chronic pain by initially observing a multiplicity of persons who are free of chronic pain and subjecting them to a given pain stimulus. Radiofrequency (RF) emissions generated by the brains of the persons who are free of chronic pain while they are subjected to the pain stimulus are measured and a chart in the form of an average f-MRI image for all such persons is prepared which statistically reflects an average of RF emissions generated by the brains of the persons who are free of chronic pain while subjected to the pain stimulus. The same pain stimulus is then applied to the patient, RF emissions generated by a brain of the patient while the pain stimulus is applied are sensed, and the RF emissions from the patient's brain are compared to the chart to determine if the RF emissions from the patient's brain are statistically different from the approximately average RF emissions from the persons who are free of chronic pain on the chart. If so, it can be concluded without any conscious input from the patient that the patient suffers chronic pain. The method can be used to verify insurance or other compensation claims by persons who assert that they suffer chronic pain that might prevent them from performing certain functions such as work.

Abstract:

The present invention provide TNFα-defensin/chemokine fusion polypeptides and polynucleotides and methods of treating, inhibiting or preventing disease conditions mediated by pathological TNFα, including chronic neuropathic pain, chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia and artherosclerosis, by administering a therapeutically effective amount of the TNFα-defensin/chemokine fusion polypeptides and polynucleotides.

International Classification:

US Classification:

182238

Abstract:

A device for safely lowering persons from upright structures such as buildings during an emergency at a safe, predetermined speed of no more than about four feet per second irrespective of the weight of the person being lowered. The device has a drum about which a cable is wound, a gear pump driven by the drum via a reduction gear train, and a hydraulic circuit which includes the gear pump and a flow control valve which maintains a constant hydraulic fluid flow through the circuit irrespective of the weight of the person being lowered and, therefore, also irrespective of the fluid pressure generated by the pump during operation. The hydraulic circuit is in fluid communication with a hydraulic fluid tank having an exterior surface dimensioned to cool the hydraulic fluid and prevent its temperature from rising by more than about 200. degree. F. above the ambient temperature during operation of the device. A handle can be used for manually rewinding the cable about the drum, and the hydraulic circuit includes a one-way branch line, controlled with a check valve, to permit countercurrent circulation of hydraulic fluid during the rewinding of the cable.
