Abstract: The present invention provides variant HSV-1 glycoprotein D and HSV-2 glycoprotein D molecules capable of preventing infection of cells by herpes simplex virus types 1 and/or 2. Also provided are novel purified and isolated polynucleotides encoding the variant gD molecules. HSV gD-1 and gD-2 region IV variants or fragments thereof are specifically contemplated by the invention. The presently preferred variant molecule gD-1( DELTA 290-299t) is the product of recombinant expression in Sf9 cells of a fusion protein including the signal peptide of honeybee melittin and Patton strain HSV-1 gD wherein (1) the Patton strain amino acid residues 290 through 299 of the mature gD-1 protein have been replaced with the amino acid residues arginine, lysine, isoleucine and phenylalanine, and (2) Patton strain amino acid residues 308 through 369 have been replaced with five histidine residues. When expressed in Sf9 cells, cleavage of the melittin signal peptide results in the presence of aspartate and proline residues at the amino terminus of the variant molecule. The amino acid sequence of gD-1( DELTA 290-299t) is set out in SEQ ID NO: 2 and the preferred DNA sequence encoding gD-1( DELTA 290-299t) is set out in SEQ ID NO: 1. Administration of gD variant molecules of the invention to mammalian subjects, especially humans, for the purpose of preventing HSV infection and/or ameliorating pathological sequelae of HSV infection is specifically contemplated.

Abstract: An aircraft mounted pulse radar unit transmits a low-energy, test output pulse and processes the resulting test return signal to determine the VSWR and whether the VSWR exceeds a predetermined threshold. If the VSWR exceeds the threshold, the unit prevents transmission of a nominal energy output pulse which might result in damage to the receiver due to an excessive energy level of the return signal. In one embodiment, the unit uses the VSWR to determine and enable output signals at reduced power levels such that energy levels of any return signals would be insufficient to damage the receiver.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for supplying nickel ions for nickel alloy electroplating bath so as to replenish nickel ions consumed as the progress of electroplating. The process uses an electrolysis cell (1), which is equipped with a rotatable cathode (11) in the form of a drum or a disk having a surface of titanium or hard chromium plating; and an anode (12) made of titanium basket in which sulfur-containing metallic nickel is contained. Spent electroplating solution is electrolysed in the electrolysis cell to dissolve nickel in the anode basket into the solution as ions and deposit a part of the dissolved nickel on the cathode, which is removed therefrom as the cathode rotates, and the rest of the dissolved nickel remains in the solution. The solution thus replenished with nickel ions is reused for the electroplating. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for coding or decoding an audio signal combines the advantages of TNS processing and noise substitution. A time-discrete audio signal is initially transformed to the frequency domain in order to obtain spectral values of the temporal audio signal. Subsequently, a prediction of the spectral values in relation to frequency is carried out in order to obtain spectral residual values. Within the spectral residual values, areas are detected encompassing spectral residual values with noise properties. The spectral residual values in the noise areas are noise-substituted, whereupon information concerning the noise areas and noise substitution is incorporated into side information pertaining to a coded audio signal. Thus, considerable bit savings in case of transient signals can be achieved.
