Abstract: The invention relates to methods and arrangements for channel balancing of a wavelenght division multiplexed optical signal.  Channel balancing according to the invention is performed by using a resonator that provides a selection region in which a selected channel has a substantially increased power density relative to channels out of resonance.  The selected channel is attenuated a desired amount, i.e. a desired amount of poer is removed therefrom, by adjusting the prperties of the selection region.  In a preferred embodiment, attenuation is achieved by adjusting the selection region such that destructive interference is obtained for the selected channel in a fibre carrying the multiplexed optical signal.

Abstract: Attachment of O-glycans to proteins is controlled by a large family of homologous polypeptide GalNAc-transferases. Polypeptide GalNAc-transferases contain a C-terminal sequence with similarity to lectins. This invention discloses that the putative lectin domains of GalNAc-transferase isoforms, GalNAc-T4, -T7, -T2, and  T3, are functional and recognize carbohydrates, glycopeptides, and peptides. These lectin domains have different binding specificities and modulate the functions of GalNAc-transferase isoforms differently. The lectin domains of GalNAc-T- and -T7 directs the glycopeptide specificities of these enzymes, while the lectin domains of GalNAc-T2 and -T3 directs broadening of donor substrate specificities to include UDP-Gal. Selective inhibitors of these functions that do not eliminate general catalytic activities are disclosed. Such inhibitors disclosed include free sugars, aryl-sugar derivatives, and glycopeptides. Inhibitors of GalNAc-transferase lectin domains are useful for altering the O-glycosylation capacity of cells, tissues, and organisms, and such agents may also interfere with other binding functions involved in intracellular sorting and secretion events.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the production of liquid cleaners, consisting of a cleaner housing with a cleaning chamber exhibiting an inner and an outer end, and a cleaning insert arranged inside the cleaning chamber. The cleaner housing is given a conical shape such that the cleaning chamber receives a smaller lateral dimension at its inner end than at its outer end, said outer end being openable. The cleaning insert is manufactured from a fluid-permeable, compressible cleaning material with a lateral dimension that in an initial state, outside the cleaner housing, exceeds the smaller lateral dimension of the cleaning chamber. The other end of the cleaner housing is kept open, and the cleaning insert is inserted into said other end having the larger lateral dimension, and is pressed into the cleaning chamber towards the end having the smaller lateral dimension. Hereby, the cleaning insert is continuously compressed into receiving, at its inner end, said smaller lateral dimension, causing the cleaning material of cleaning insert to be gradually compacted, seen in the axial direction, at least in a portion at the inner end of the cleaner housing. The invention also relates to a liquid cleaner, produced by the method.

Abstract: A network server having a current lower packet-interfacing layer and a current upper packet-processing layer is updated by providing an updated process having an updated packet-interfacing lower layer, an updated packet-processing upper layer packets, and a communication channel for diverting network packets from the updated lower layer to the current upper layer. First the current lower layer is replaced with the updated lower layer. Then the packets in the updated lower layer are checked to determine if they relate to transactions already under way on the current upper layer or new transactions. The current upper layer processes the packets relating to transactions already under way, and the packets relating to new transactions are processed the updated upper layer. When all the under-way transactions on the current upper layer have been completed the communication channel is closed.
