Abstract: A process of polymerizing ethylene with a catalyst using a single metallocene catalyst comprising a bridged metallocene compound having two cyclopentadienyl rings, one substituted with a bulky group in a distal position and one substituted such that a fused ring, substituted or unsubstituted, is formed, which produces a copolymer of ethylene. The metallocene catalyst promotes simultaneous oligomerization of a fraction of ethylene to form a comonomer in situ and copolymerization of the remaining ethylene and the comonomer to form a copolymer.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système (43) et un procédé d'amélioration du transfert dans un réseau cellulaire de télécommunications (20) ayant un central de desserte et une cellule de desserte (C) dans laquelle un poste mobile est en communication. Le système établit une première temporisation pendant laquelle des mesures de puissance du signal sont collectées dans un certain nombre de cellules (A, B, D, G et H) voisines de la cellule de desserte. Un mécanisme de rythme variable (45) mesure des périodes à partir du moment où est produite une demande de mesure de transfert. Le système règle ensuite le mécanisme de rythme variable (45) afin de mesurer une période spécifiée pour chacune des cellules précitées, il collecte les mesures de puissance du signal pendant la période prescrite et il les traite quand celle-ci expire. Le système (43) établit ensuite une deuxième temporisation pendant laquelle une demande de transfert provenant du poste mobile est mise dans la file d'attente en attendant qu'un canal vocal soit disponible dans une cellule cible pour le transfert. Le système (43) mesure une valeur par défaut pour la deuxième temporisation, transforme la deuxième temporisation par défaut en une deuxième temporisation adaptée pour laquelle il y a une probabilité maximale de transférer un appel associé à la demande de transfert, et détermine si la demande de transfert doit être mise en file d'attente pendant la deuxième temporisation par défaut ou pendant celle qui est adaptée.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide an organ which can be played digitally and/or as a pipe organ and whose appearance, volume of sound and sound pattern are equivalent to those of a large built-in organ. Apart from the speakers (16) for digital sound-production, the acoustic attachment (2) comprises an air chamber (17) with at least one register of sounding pipes (7). The sound of the pipes can be produced by feeding air via the pipe rackboard (20), the air or pressure in the air chamber (17) being produced by radial fans (18) which are controlled by frequency converters. The air supply for the pipe sound is controlled by means of electrically controlled magnetic valves (19) which are disposed on the pipe rackboard (20). The console (1) and the acoustic and pipe attachment (2) are separate, self-contained units such that the organ is transportable. These organ parts can also be set up at separate locations. This invention enables the advantages of computer-controlled digital sound-production to be used for the first time with conventional pipe organs too. The acoustic effect attained is magnificent.

Abstract: On obtient des surfaces polymères hydrophobes dont le taux de liaison protéinique est inférieur à environ 50 à 80 ng/cm2: (1) en appliquant une solution de revêtement composée d'un solvant et d'un tensioactif non ionique ayant un indice HLB inférieur à 5 par rapport à la surface; et (2) en séchant la surface pour éliminer le solvant et, par conséquent, mettre le tensioactif en contact direct avec le polymère hydrophobe. La combinaison d'un indice HLB inférieur et de l'étape de séchage s'est avérée produire des surfaces à faible liaison qui peuvent résister à plusieurs lavages à l'eau et/ou avec des solutions contenant des protéines. Selon une autre variante, on peut obtenir des surfaces à faible liaison en appliquant le tensioactif non ionique sur des surfaces de moules qui viennent en contact avec le polymère fondu et le transforme en une forme désirée, p.ex., en une plaque à plusieurs puits, un embout de pipette ou autre. On peut obtenir également des surfaces à faible liaison en incorporant des tensioactifs non ioniques, non solubles ayant un indice HLB inférieur ou égal à 10 dans un mélange polymère avant de mouler l'article.

Abstract: The fitting for an electrical insulator of composite structure with a hollow shank consists of a metal body (2) e.g. of aluminium alloy with a cavity (3) forming a sleeve for the insulator shank. The cavity has a basically truncated conical inner wall (S), diverging towards its base and having an inward bulge, so that the gap between the cavity wall and cylindrical shank surface increased in a non-linear fashion towards the base. Prior to inserting the shank the metal housing is heated, and adhesive is applied to the end of the shank. On cooling to ambient temperature the shank becomes locked in place and the adhesive sets. In a variant the shank can be cooled with liquid nitrogen before insertion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for increasing the production of high titre stocks of recombinant AAV (rAAV) through regulation of expression of the AAV REP and CAP proteins. The methods and compositions of the invention are based on the observation that the low level expression of the AAV REP protein increases the production of AAV viral capsid protein and efficiency of packaging resulting in production of higher titre recombinant viral stocks. The invention encompasses recombinant AAV vectors that direct the expression of AAV REP and CAP proteins and the use of such vectors for the production of novel stable cell lines capable of generating high titre rAAV vectors. The invention provides methods for regulating the expression of the AAV REP gene at the transcriptional and post-translational level. The methods and compositions of the invention can be used to produce high titre stocks of rAAV which can be used in gene therapy for the purpose of transferring genetic information into appropriate host cells for the management and correction of human diseases including inherited and acquired disorders.

Abstract: A method is described for the rapid, sensitive and accurate determination of sucrose in biological fluids. A substrate is pre-coated with a glucose or fructose polymer and a transglycosidase enzyme. When the coated substrate is incubated with biological fluids containing concentrations of sucrose, the transglycosidase enzyme transfers monomers of glucose or fructose from the sucrose to the glucose or fructose polymer. The dimensions of the polymer are increased in proportion to the sucrose concentration of the samples. Newly formed polymer is subsequently quantitated in an immunoassay which employs either a combination of a carbohydrate-binding protein (which may be an antibody) and a conjugate of a secondary antibody and a marker enzyme, or a conjugate of a carbohydrate-binding protein and a marker enzyme. The assay is accurate at sucrose concentrations below 1  mu g/mL. No interference was observed at glucose concentrations as high as 25 mM. The sucrose detection assay is particularly useful in a non-invasive diagnostic test for gastric damage.
