The present invention provides compositions comprising an anti-angiogenic factor, and a polymeric carrier. Representative examples of anti-angiogenic factors include Anti-Invasive Factor, Retinoic acids and derivatives thereof, and paclitaxel. Also provided are methods for embolizing blood vessels, and eliminating biliary, urethral, esophageal, and tracheal/bronchial obstructions.

A method and apparatus for reducing mitral regurgitation. The apparatus is inserted into the coronary sinus of a patient in the vicinity of the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve, the apparatus being adapted to straighten the natural curvature of at least a portion of the coronary sinus in the vicinity of the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve, whereby to move the posterior annulus anteriorly and thereby improve leaflet coaptation and reduce mitral regurgitation.

The present invention provides a lumen support stent with a clear through-lumen for use in a body lumen. The stent is formed from at least one series of sliding and locking radial elements and at least one ratcheting mechanism comprising an articulating element and a plurality of stops. The ratcheting mechanism permits one-way sliding of the radial elements from a collapsed diameter to an expanded diameter, but inhibits radial recoil from the expanded diameter.

Disclosed is a thermal transfer sheet that can meet demands for increased printing speed in thermal transfer, higher density of thermally transferred images, and higher quality. The thermal transfer sheet comprises a substrate and an adhesive layer and a dye layer provided in that order on one side of the substrate, wherein the adhesive layer comprises a polyvinylpyrrolidone resin and a composition for suppressing hygroscopic properties of the polyvinylpyrrolidone resin.

A packet transferring and transmitting method in a mobile communication system (50). In this packet transferring and transmitting method, an upper rank node (1) determines the execution of the hand-over (determining step), a hand-over origin node (2) transfers a non-transmitted residual packet out of a plurality of packets to a hand-over destination node (3), and the upper rank node (1) transmits a new packet to the hand-over destination node (3) (transferring and transmitting step). Thus, it is possible to maintain the number of users to be accommodated while ensuring a wide band width, efficiently share the line during the soft hand-over, is avoid non-transmitted data when using the variable communication rate, and prevent the increase of re-transmission.

Packet transferring/transmitting method and mobile communication system

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem caused by the fact that the throughput decreases each time a hand-over is made since a mobile station when making the hand- over temporarily needs to disconnect a link right before the hand-over and then and reconnect the link after the hand-over. SOLUTION: When the mobile station 14 needs to make the hand-over, the mobile station sends a hand-over request to a base station 12 that the mobile station is currently communicating with 12 and makes the hand-over; when the base station 12 receives the hand-over request from the mobile station 14, the base station transfers parameters for communication control to the base station 11 after the hand-over and the base station 11 after the hand-over has data communicates with the mobile station 14.

A multi-usable heat transfer ink ribbon comprising a foundation, and a heat transfer ink layer provided on one surface of the foundation, said heat transfer ink layer having a melt index of 4 X 10² to 2.5 X 10³ g/10 min. at 190°C and containing a vehicle and 3 X 10 to 6 X 10 % by volume of a nonthermoplastic powder dispersed in a nonagglomerative state, wherein said heat transfer ink layer is capable of being melted or softened to be transferred to a receiving medium in increments relative to the thickness direction of the ink layer upon heating by means of a heating head. The multi-usable heat transfer ink ribbon, though the whole of the ink layer is transferable by incorporating into the ink layer no nontransferable material which hinders the transfer of the ink, can give printed images having the same clearness as that of the printed image obtained by the initial printing even after the ribbon is repeatedly used multiple times for printing.

Multi-usable heat transfer ink ribbon

PURPOSE: To provide a heat transfer recording material, excellent in transferring property and capable of forming an image prominent in resistance to abrasion. CONSTITUTION: A hot melting ink layer, consisting of epoxy resin, wax particles having average grain size of 0.05-15μm, and a pigment, is provided on a substrate. The epoxy resin contains 50wt.% of one kinds or more than two kinds of resin selected from a group consisting of tetraphenolethane tetraglycidyl ether, cresol novolak polyglycidyl ether, bisphenol A glycidyl ether and bisphenol F glycidyl ether.

Heat transfer recording material

A multi-usable thermal transfer ink sheet wherein on a foundation is provided a thermal transfer ink layer which is tranferable in portions in terms of the thickness thereof. To realize multi-printing even in an indirect thermal transfer method, the multi-usable thermal transfer ink sheet is characterized in that the thermal transfer ink layer contains as main ingredients thereof a wax compound having a polar group, and a pigment.

Indirect thermal transfer printing method with a multi-usable transfer ink sheet

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transferring method of a metal oxide thin film element for forming a transparent wiring having sufficient adhesive properties, high light transmission, low resistance, high definition, high reliability, insulation properties and satisfying such requirement as a reduced cost, short delivery time, a low environmental load, etc. not only on a glass substrate but also on a substrate (an object to be transferred) comprising a polymer-based material as a circuit board. SOLUTION: This method is for selectively transferring a thin film element of a transfer unit having a metal oxide thin film element that is formed on a substrate to an object to be transferred. The transfer unit is provided with a photothermal conversion layer at least on one surface of the substrate and the thin film element. The transfer unit and the object to be transferred face each other via an adhesive layer, and the photothermal conversion layer is selectively irradiated with a laser beam. By the obtained heat, the adhesive layer is selectively melted/softened. The thin film element and the object to be transferred are selectively bonded together. The thin film element that is selectively bonded is separated from the transfer object, and then the transfer layer is formed on the object to be transferred. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
