High Molecular Weight Kininogen
Plasma high molecular weight kininogen (HK) is a 120 kD glycoprotein encoded by a single gene (Kitamura et al., J. Bio. Chem. 1985; 260:8610-8617). The first 9 exons code for the heavy chain domains 1-3, and exon 10 codes for bradykinin (BK) domain 4 and the light chain, domains 5 and 6. Mediation of the biological effects of HK requires prior cell binding. Domain 3 (D3) inhibits thrombin action on platelets (Puri et al., Blood 1991; 77:500-507) as well as cell binding to platelets (Kunapuli et al., J. Bio. Chem. 1996; 271:11228-11234), endothelial cells (Herweld et al., J. Bio. Chem. 1995; 270:14634-14642) and neutrophils (Wachtfogel et al., J. Bio. Chem. 1994; 269:19307-19312; Khan et al., Am. J. Physiol. 1998; 275:H145-H150). Following the cleavage of BK from HK, the heavy and light chains resulting from the elimination of BK remain linked by a disulfide bond between cysteine residues at positions 10 and 656. The resulting active cofactor, HKa, undergoes major conformational changes detected by electron microscopy (Weisel et al., J. Bio. Chem. 1994; 269:10100-10106) and circular dichroism (Villanueva et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 1989; 158:72-79), and acquires the ability to bind to anionic surfaces (Scott et al., J. Clin. Invest. 1984; 73:954-962).
The HK light chain consists of the following sequence of HK amino acids 372-626 (SEQ ID NO:1):
S S R I G E I K E E T T V S P P H T S(SEQ ID NO:1) M A P A Q D E E R D S G K E Q G H T R R H D W G H E K Q R K H N L G H G H K H E R D Q G H G H Q R G H G L G H G H E Q Q H G L G H G H K F K L D D D L E H Q G G H V L D H G H K H K H G H G H G K H K N K G K K N G K H N G W K T E H L A S S S E D S T T P S A Q T Q E K T E G P T P I P S L A K P G V T V T F S D F Q D S D L I A T M M P P I S P A P I Q S D D D W I P D I Q T D P N G L S F N P I S D F P D T T S P K C P G R P W K S V S E I N P T T Q M K E S Y Y F D L T D G L S.
The HK light chain amino acids (Ser)372 to Thr(383) form the C-terminal portion of HK domain 4 remaining after bradykinin liberation. HK amino acids Val(384) to Lys(502) form the HK domain 5 (D5). HK amino acids Thr(503) to Ser(626) form the HK domain 6 (D6). Within D5, critical amino acids His(441)-His(457) in a histidine-glycine-rich region are responsible for binding to an artificial negatively-charged surface (DeLa Cadena et al., Prot. Sci. 1992; 1:151-160). Thus, HKa formation results in the exposure of D5. Using deletion mutagenesis, a second subdomain has been defined: a histidine-glycine-lysine-rich region (residues His(475)-Lys(502)) which also supports binding to an anionic surface (Kunapuli et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1993; 268:2486-2492). Hasan et al. (Hasan et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1995; 270:19256-19261) have mapped the endothelial cell binding domain on D5 to the histidine-glycine-lysine-rich region, specifically residues His(471)-Gly(496), which could represent a second region for cell interaction. Khan et al. (Kahn et al., Am. J. Physiol. 1998; 275:H15-H150) have localized neutrophil binding to the histidine-glycine region. The binding of D5 to cells appears to be responsible for the “anti-adhesive” action of HKa on neutrophils and platelets (Gustafson et al., J. Cell. Biol. 1989; 109:377-387). Asakura et al. (Asakura et al., J. Cell. Biol. 1992; 116:465-476) showed that HKa inhibits the adhesion and spreading of human osteosarcoma cells on vitronectin-coated polystyrene plates, and the spread of bovine aortic endothelial cells on vitronectin. The C-terminus of the light chain of HK D6, spanning Ser(565) to Lys(595), is required for the binding of prekallikrein (Tait et al., J. Biol, Chem. 1987; 262:1405-1411).
Monoclonal Antibodies Against HK
Monoclonal antibody C11-C1 of U.S. Pat. No. 4,908,431 to Colman et al. is produced by hybridoma ATCC HB 8964 and recognizes the HK light chain. The antibody inhibits the coagulant activity of HK (Schmaier et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1987; 262:1405-1411), a property of the light chain, but not the ability of HK to inhibit the cysteine protease, calpain (Bradford et al., Biochem. J. 1990; 270:83-90), a property of the heavy chain. Further investigation indicated that MAb C11 C1 inhibits binding of 125I-HK to the anionic surface of kaolin (DeLa Cadena et al, Prot. Sci. 1992; 1:151-160), and inhibits binding of kininogen to neutrophils (Wachtfogel et al., J. Bio. Chem. 1994; 269:19307-19312). MAb C11-C1 is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,908,431 as being useful for measuring kininogen levels in plasma and other specimens of interest. The antibody is also described as being useful in removing kininogen from blood or other body fluids, for the treatment of diseases characterized by elevated kininogen levels. No other therapeutic uses for MAb C11C1 are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,908,431.
Reddigari and Kaplan, Blood 74:695-702 (1989) describe a monoclonal antibody 115-21 which is specific for the prekallikrein binding site on HK domain 6. MAb 115-21 is disclosed as being possibly useful in delineating the role of HK and prekallikrein in contact activation and kinin-related human pathology.
Angiogenesis
Angiogenesis is the process in which new blood vessels grow into an area which lacks a sufficient blood supply. Angiogenesis commences with the erosion of the basement membrane surrounding endothelial cells and pericytes forming capillary blood vessels. Erosion of the basement membrane is triggered by enzymes released by endothelial cells and leukocytes. The endothelial cells then migrate through the eroded basement membrane when induced by angiogenic stimulants. The migrating cells form a “sprout” off the parent blood vessel. The migrating endothelial cells proliferate, and the sprouts merge to form capillary loops, thus forming a new blood vessel.
Angiogenesis can occur under certain normal conditions in mammals such as in wound healing, in fetal and embryonic development, and in the formation of the corpus luteum, endometrium and placenta. Angiogenesis also occurs in certain disease states such as in tumor formation and expansion, or in the retina of patients with certain ocular disorders. Angiogenesis can also occur in a rheumatoid joint, hastening joint destruction by allowing an influx of leukocytes with subsequent release of inflammatory mediators.
The evidence for the role of angiogenesis in tumor growth was extensively reviewed and presented by O'Reilly and Folkman in U.S. Pat. No. 5,639,725, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. It is now generally accepted that the growth of tumors is critically dependent upon angiogenesis. It has been proposed to inhibit angiogenesis with peptides (e.g., angiostatin and endostatin), recombinant proteins, and monoclonal antibodies directed to angiogenic proteins such as basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or their cellular receptors.
Additional therapeutic agents are desired for inhibition of angiogenesis. The inhibition of angiogenesis with antibodies against HK has not been proposed prior to the present invention.

The present device and method relates to forming images by the use of xerographic or electrophotographic processes, which are used in copying machines, printers, etc.
Heretofore, in the method of image formation by the use of electrophotographic process, streaks can be caused by charge device failures. A common failure mode for charge devices creates streaks on prints due to local contaminants on the charge device. The streak defect is due to insufficient charging at the location of the contaminant on the charging element (wire, pin, etc.). If left alone these failures become more severe with additional usage. Various cleaning devices have been used in an attempt to prevent the build up of contaminants and to remove contaminant deposits from the charge device charging elements (wires, pins, etc.).
The present disclosure proposes a device and method for recovery from a streak defect caused by charge device failures. The present disclosure provides a method of forming images, and an apparatus used therefor, whereby images with improved image quality and high durability can stably be obtained even during repeated image-forming operations without causing degradation in the image due to streaks caused by charge device failures.

The Applicant has previously described a method of enabling users to access information from a computer system via a printed substrate e.g. paper. The substrate has a coding pattern printed thereon, which is read by an optical sensing device when the user interacts with with the substrate using the sensing device. A computer receives interaction data from the sensing device and uses this data to determine what action is being requested by the user. For example, a user may make handwritten input onto a form or make a selection gesture around a printed item. This input is interpreted by the computer system with reference to a page description corresponding to the printed substrate.
It would desirable to improve the coding pattern on the substrate so as to maximize usage of images captured by the sensing device.

This invention relates to the field of medicine, and more particularly to external urinary catheters for men.
Loss of continence may be embarrassing and is inconvenient. Prior inventors have proposed a variety of solutions to this problem. To collect urine from people who have diminished or no bladder control, a variety of absorbent pads and catheters have been developed. Pads are uncomfortable when wet, and may leak. Internal catheters also cause discomfort and may reduce the patient's mobility.
Some external urine collection devices have been designed for men. Typically, with such devices, the penis is placed in a urine receptacle leading to a remote disposal container. We refer to such devices as “external urinary catheters”.
This invention provides an improved solution to the incontinence problem for men.

A light emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light emitting device that converts current into light. The LED can generate light having high brightness, so that the LED has been expensively used as a light source for a display device, a vehicle, or a lighting device. In addition, the LED can represent a white color having superior light efficiency by employing phosphors or combining LEDs having various colors.
In order to improve the brightness and the performance of the LED, various attempts have been performed to improve a light extracting structure, an active layer structure, current spreading, an electrode structure, and a structure of a light emitting diode package.

Embodiments of the inventive subject matter generally relate to the field of computers, and, more particularly, to static analysis tools.
Static analysis tools can analyze computer code from a computer program without having to execute the computer program itself. The results of the static analysis can identify potential issues that may occur in the computer program if the code were to be executed. Static analysis results can identify a variety of different potential issues. Some of the potential issues revealed by the static analysis results may be more serious than others. For example, one potential issue may be related to a memory safety violation (e.g., a buffer overflow). A separate, less serious potential issue, may be an issue whose significance is hard to establish, such as a switch statement fall-through, which is often intentionally coded. However, sifting through static analysis results to find the serious potential issues can be a time consuming process for a developer. Furthermore, without finding the serious potential issues, the computer program may fail upon execution.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of sensing and analyzing devices and more particularly to a novel device which is worn by a patient for dynamic sensing and recording of physiological information while under stress in order to prevent the patient from exceeding predetermined physical limitations.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In the past, it has been the conventional practice for persons engaging in recovery physical therapy to exercise by running, walking, or employing other physical procedures in which the person is under stress and may exceed physical limits which will adversely affect recovery and may even cause damage. For example, a person having a leg or arm injury may be advised to perform daily exercise of the limb in order to aid recovery. In following such a procedure, the limb is placed under stress, and the muscles, ligaments and other tissues may not have recovered in sufficiency to permit overload or excessive exercise. Such excessive experience may cause additional stress and may even physically damage the muscles or other body organs which are intended to be conditioned.
Therefore, a long-standing need has existed to provide a sensing and analyzing apparatus that would sense, analyze and monitor the person's physical condition while under stress. A warning device is included in the apparatus whereby the person may be notified when the physical limits for his particular condition has been reached or exceeded.
