Patent EP-1682568-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BELCHER ANGELA M
IPC: C12N15/86
Filed: 2004-10-15
Abstract: One-dimensional ring structures from M13 viruses were constructed by two genetic modifications encoding binding peptides and synthesis of a heterobifunctional linker molecule. The bifunctional viruses displayed an anti-streptavidin peptide and hexahistidine peptide at opposite ends of the virus as pIII and pIX fusions. Stoichiometric addition of the streptavidin-NiNTA linker molecule led to the reversible formation of virus-based nanorings with circumferences corresponding to lengths of the packagable DNAs. These virus-based ring structures can be further engineered to nucleate inorganic materials and form metallic, magnetic, or semiconductor nanorings using trifunctionalized viruses.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un carton destiné à distribuer et à conserver des articles tels que des boîtes ou des bouteilles, que l'on ouvre en enlevant une première partie détachable, puis en détachant au moins partiellement une seconde partie détachable; on définit ainsi une ouverture permettant de distribuer lesdits articles, ainsi que des moyens permettant de conserver des articles dans le carton une fois qu'une ou les deux parties détachables ont été enlevées. L'enlèvement de la première partie détachable donne accès à la seconde partie détachable, ce qui en facilite le détachement au moins partiel. La seconde partie détachable peut être déformable, ce qui permet de redéfinir ou de reconfigurer de manière variable et réversible l'ouverture et, par conséquent, d'enlever les articles à distribuer, et de conserver dans le carton ceux qui ne sont pas à distribuer. La première partie détachable comporte une patte ou un moyen de préhension qui facilite la rupture initiale.

Abstract: A production method of an optical waveguide that can provide
increased production efficiency and can also provide improved workability
and production stability and provide an optical waveguide produced by the
production method of the optical waveguide. A varnish comprising
photopolymerizable resion composition comprising a fluorene derivative
and a photoacid generator is coated over an under clad layer 2 and then is
dried, to form a resin layer 4 having substantial no surface tack.
Sequentially, the resin layer 4 is exposed to light in the state of being
contacted with a photo mask 5 by a contact exposure method and then is
developed, to form the resin layer 4 into a pattern. Thereafter, the resin
layer 4 is cured to form a core layer 3 and then an over clad layer 6 is
formed on the under clad layer 2 in such a manner as to cover the core
layer 3, to thereby produce an optical waveguide. This method can allow
the forming of the resin layer 4 having no surface tack, and as such can
allow the use of the contact exposure to expose the resin layer to light.
Hence, the number of processes and time-consuming and complicated
works involved in the interposition of the spacer can be reduced, thus
providing increased production efficiency.

Abstract: A rocker arm 13 is rocked with respect to a control shaft
32 through a link arm 14 by rotation of a drive shaft 3. With this
configuration, a rocking cam 7 is rocked with respect to the drive
shaft 3 through a link member 15. A valve lifter 6 is pushed downward
by rocking of the rocking cam 7. The control shaft 32 is integrally
provided with a control cam which is eccentric with respect to an
axis of the control shaft 32. If the control cam is rotated, a
rocking fulcrum position of the rocker arm 13 is changed, thereby
varying a valve-lift amount. An eccentric bush 22 is provided on
an inner peripheral surface of the rocker arm 13 on an outer periphery
side of the control cam. The eccentric bush 22 meshes with an inner
peripheral gear formed on an inner periphery of the rocker arm 13
by an outer peripheral gear 39b, and is coupled to the rocker arm
13. This coupled state is released by moving the eccentric bush
22 in the axial direction. In this state, the eccentric bush 22
is rotated by a predetermined amount with respect to the control
cam and the rocker arm 13, thereby adjusting the valve-lift amount.

Abstract: Membership information for participating computer systems participating
in a multi-party conferencing session is distributed by intermittently exchanging link
databases with one or more neighbor computer systems. A link database includes one
or more link state records, each link state record identifying a participating computer
systems and a list of neighbor computer systems that are logically linked to the
participating computer system. When a new computer system joins or a participating
computer system leaves the multi-party session this joining or leaving change is
reflected in the link databases of corresponding neighbor computer systems. As the
neighbor computer systems exchange link databases, the change is eventually
propagated to all the participating computer systems. Accordingly, participant
computer systems continually transition towards a steady state where each participant
computer system is aware of other participant computer systems and logical links
associated with other participant computer systems.

Abstract: In a speech codec, the total number of transmitted bits is to be reduced to
decrease the average amount of bit transmission by imparting a relatively large number
of bits to the voiced speech having a crucial meaning in a speech interval and by
sequentially decreasing the number of bits allocated to the unvoiced sound and to the
background noise. To this end, the present invention provides a decoding
apparatus for decoding encoded bits with different bit allocation to
parameters of an unvoice interval and parameters of a voiced interval,
including verifying means for verifying whether an interval in said
encoded bits is a speech interval or a background noise interval and
decoding means for decoding the encoded bits at the background noise
interval by using LPC coefficients received at present or at present and
in the past, CELP gain indexes received at present or at present and in
the past and CELP shape indexes generated internally at random if the
information indicating the background noise interval is taken out by
said verifying means.

Abstract: A plurality of voice segments, each including one or more phonemes are acquired in a time-serial manner, in correspondence with desired singing or speaking words. As necessary, a boundary is designated between start and end points of a vowel phoneme included in any one of the acquired voice segments. Voice is synthesized for a region of the vowel phoneme that precedes the designated boundary vowel phoneme, or a region of the vowel phoneme that succeeds the designated boundary in the vowel phoneme. By synthesizing a voice for the region preceding the designated boundary, it is possible to synthesize a voice imitative of a vowel sound that is uttered by a person and then stopped to sound with his or her mouth kept opened. Further, by synthesizing a voice for the region succeeding the designated boundary, it is possible to synthesize a voice imitative of a vowel sound that is started to sound with the mouth opened.
