Title: Expression induction method employing mutant dhfr gene.
Inventor: LO KIN-MING
IPC: C12N15/67
Filed: 1989-11-30
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of producing increased amounts of a protein of interest in a cell by induction. The method includes transfecting a cell with multiple copies of an expression vector, each copy of which includes an expressible gene encoding an enzymatically functional dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and an expressible gene encoding a protein of interest. Transfected cells are cultured in the presence of methotrexate (MTX) to produce a plurality of clones. A clone containing plural copy number of the vectors which co-express DHFR and the protein of interest is then selected and cultured. The cultured clone is treated with MTX to enhance the expression of the protein of interest by inducing an increase in transcription without substantially amplifying the genes encoding the protein of interest and DHFR.

Title: Piezoelectric transducers for ink jet systems
IPC: B41J2/045
Filed: 1991-11-19
Abstract: In the representative embodiments of the invention described herein, a transducer for an ink jet system includes a piezoelectric element with an array of spaced interdigitated electrodes on one side of the element. One embodiment includes two such arrays disposed near the sides of the ink jet chamber and another array of interdigitated electrodes on the opposite side of the transducer in the central region of the ink jet chamber. In that embodiment, continuous electrodes are provided on the surfaces of the transducer opposite to the surfaces bearing the interdigitated arrays. Alternate electrodes in each array and the continuous electrode on the opposite side are grounded and positive or negative potential is applied to the other electrodes in the arrays to produce deflection of the transducer element and alternate pulses of opposite polarity may be applied to polarize the piezoelectric element in opposite directions with each pulse. Using a transducer thickness of about 4 microns, ejection of a drop of given size with a given voltage pulse can be achieved with a chamber volume which is one-twentieth to one-fortieth the size of the chamber volume required for conventional transducer arrangements.

IPC: E04H15/50
Filed: 1991-12-23
Abstract: An expandable framework structure can be folded for storage and expanded for use, especially as a canopy when a covering is placed on top of the framework. The framework includes a plurality of upright supports and a plurality of edge scissor assemblies that interconnect adjacent ones of the upright supports. Mounts are disposed on the upright supports to fasten outer, rectangular end portions of the edge scissor assemblies. The mounts have sockets which have facing, parallel sidewall portions to receive the rectangular end portions in close-fitted engagement along planar contact surfaces to resist lateral and torsional deflections of the edge scissor assemblies. A non-compressive fastening pin pivotally secures the outer end of each edge scissor assemblies in its respective socket. The mounts on each upright support are relatively movable to allow expansion and contraction of the framework; one mount is preferably a stationary mount and the other a slide mount. A roof support assembly may be used to support a canopy covering, and several embodiments of the roof support assembly are described. Each edge scissor assembly may be formed of a pair of scissor units interconnected by floating mounts that are provided with sockets and planar contact surfaces to resist lateral and torsional deflection of the scissor units. Non-compressive fastening pins are associated with each mount, and non-compressive elements interconnect the scissor bars of each scissor unit.

Title: Data collection and retrieval system governed by a pay-off meter
Inventor: ROSSIDES MICHAEL T
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 1994-05-23
Abstract: Self-organizing data-base that charges users who find data in it and pays users who supply the data found. Has a built in feedback mechanism, called the Pay-off Meter (POM), that tells users what data needs supplying based on the number of request for that data over time. The POM outputs an expected Pay-off for supplying a piece of data. A sensitive and potent feedback loop is created insuring that the more a piece of data is requested during a period of time, the more likely the data will be supplied by a requestor or by someone a requestor tells of the pay-off.

IPC: G06F5/12
Filed: 1995-06-30
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un désynchronisateur (10) à deux étages permettant de recevoir une composante de données à espacement d'un signal de format STS-3C (STM-1), et de produire, à partir de cette composante, un signal de données de format DS-4NA (E4) sans espacement. Le premier étage (10a) comprend un bloc de formation d'octets de données qui prend les données à espacement de la charge utile du signal STS-3C et les formule sous forme d'octets, un premier dispositif premier entré, premier sorti (FIFO) (25) qui reçoit les octets, et un contrôleur de lecture (30) de premier FIFO qui utilise le signal d'horloge STS-3C et commande la lecture d'octets de données en fonction d'une programmation consistant à lire les octets huit à neuf fois tous les dix rythmes d'horloge STS-3C. Pour chaque rangée (270 rythmes d'octets) de la trame STS-3C, 241 ou 242 octets sont lus à partir du FIFO en fonction d'une programmation à faible espacement, la lecture du 242e octet dépendant au moins partiellement du nombre de bourrages dans le signal et des déplacements d'indicateur reçus. Le second étage du désynchronisateur (10) comprend un second dispositif FIFO (50), un bloc de mesure (60) de saturation de second FIFO, et un oscillateur à quartz commandé en tension (VCXO) (80). Le bloc de mesure (60) de saturation de second FIFO utilise le signal d'horloge d'octets de données à faible espacement entrant et le signal d'horloge de sortie DS-4NA sans espacement comme signaux d'entrée afin de mesurer effectivement la saturation relative du second FIFO (50), et produit un signal de commande en fonction de cette saturation relative.
