Inventor: POUSTKA ANNEMARIE
IPC: C12N15/11
Filed: 1999-06-25
Abstract: The invention relates to modularly constructed RNA molecules which can bind to a ligand and which are characterized by two sequence regions. Said first sequence region contributes to the maintenance of the three-dimensional structure of the RNA molecule, and a second sequence region is responsible for the specific bond of the ligand. These RNA molecules, e.g. the NINTROX-RNA, can be used for directly influencing the gene expression. The invention also relates to vectors containing the inventive RNA molecules, to medicaments and diagnostic compositions which contain said RNA molecules or vectors, to an antibody which specifically recognizes these RNA molecules or antisense RNA  which specifically binds to these RNA molecules, or to ribozymes which split these RNA molecules. In addition, the invention relates to non-human mammals whose NINTROX gene is modified by inserting a heterologous sequence and to the cells obtained therefrom.

Inventor: YIN YIQUN LISA
IPC: G09C1/00
Filed: 1999-06-15
Abstract: Un message à texte clair à crypter est segmenté en plusieurs mots, par exemple en quatre mots mémorisés dans les registres A, B, C et D, et une fonction de multiplication d'entiers est appliquée à un sous-ensemble de mots, par exemple au deux mots des registres B et D. L'utilisation de ladite multiplication d'entiers permet l'augmentation sensible de la diffusion obtenue par tour de cryptage, et d'augmenter ainsi la sécurité par tour ainsi que le rendement. La fonction de multiplication d'entiers peut être une fonction quadratique se présentant sous la forme f(x)=x(ax+b), a représentant un entier pair et b un entier impair, ou une autre fonction appropriée, telle qu'un polynôme d'ordre supérieur. Les résultats de la fonction de multiplication d'entiers sont tournés selon une valeur de 1g w bits, 1g dénotant la base logarithmique 2 et w représentant le nombre de bits dans un mot donné, de sorte qu'une paire de résultats intermédiaires t et u soit générée. Une somme disjonctive d'un autre mot, par exemple le mot du registre A, conjointement avec un des résultats intermédiaires, par exemple t, est tournée d'une valeur déterminée par l'autre résultat intermédiaire u. De même, une somme disjonctive du mot restant dans le registre D conjointement avec le résultat intermédiaire u est tournée d'une valeur déterminée par l'autre résultat intermédiaire t. Un élément d'un groupement de clés secrètes est appliqué à chacun de ces résultats de rotation, et le contenu des registres est ensuite transposé. Ce processus est répété pour un nombre déterminé de tours de sorte qu'un message à texte plein soit générer. Des opérations de pré-insertion et de post-insertion de blancs peuvent être incluses de sorte que l'entrée ou la sortie ne révèle aucune information interne sur tout tour de cryptage, quel qu'il soit. Des opérations de décryptage correspondantes peuvent être utilisées pour le décryptage du message à texte crypté.

Title: Pulsed mass spectrometer leak valve with controlled energy closure
Inventor: LITTLEJOHN DUANE P
IPC: H01J49/04
Filed: 1999-10-13
Abstract: The closure of a leak valve in a pulsed mass spectrometer is controlled to thereby substantially extend the life of the valve. An actuator responds to a pulse to open the valve. At the end of the open period the element that closes the valve seat is allowed to travel a substantial distance from the open position of the element to the nearly closed position of the element. The pulse amplitude is then controlled so that the time for the element to travel the remaining distance to valve seat closure is extended in time. The pulse amplitude can also be controlled so that the valve will never close except under fault conditions where power is lost or in a non-operating mode.
