Abstract: Method and apparatus for obtaining physical characteristics of coins
for their identification, which consists in submitting the coins to two
consecutive stages of electromagnetic measurement, defined by a first and a
second pairs of coils, in one of said pairs the coils are connected in such a
manner that their magnetic fields are added and in the other in such a way
that their magnetic fields are subtracted, which stages providing signals
which are processed to obtain parameters representative of the coin,
characterised in that the four coils are connected to each other according to
a bridge configuration and in that they are supplied simultaneously with at
least two, and preferably 3, signals of different frequencies, obtaining
simultaneously in each stage, on passage of the coins, two full bridge signals
for each frequency and a further two half-bridge signals for the highest
frequency, in each case one of the signals being representative of the
variation of the resistive component.

IPC: A61P35/04
Filed: 2001-03-30
Abstract: The invention provides antibodies that specifically bind a membrane protease complex, the complex consisting of two homodimers of seprase and dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV), obtained from mammalian, preferably human cell membranes. The antibodies specifically bind the DPPIV protease of the seprase-DPPIV complex. This membrane protease complex resides on cell surface invadopodia at the leading edge of angiogenic endothelia, migratory fibroblasts, and invading cancer cells. The antibodies and immunoconjugates of the invention specifically bind the membrane protease complex at the cell surface invadopodia, yet fail to react with resting cells in adjacent human tissues and blood vessels. These antibodies and immunoconjugates block interaction of collagen matrix with the seprase-DPPIV complex in the invasive cells during angiogenesis and cancer spreading but not that with other endothelia or tumor cells. The invention further provides methods for identifying and of using DPPIV antagonists to inhibit capillary sprouting, angiogenesis and cancer invasion in tumor tissues and metastases. Also provided are therapeutic compositions comprising DPPIV antagonists.

Abstract: A system for sensing or measuring the motion of a fluid such as air. The system typically has a two-part plastic body containing an internal flow passage. The parts of the body may snap together or attach with an adhesive. A transducer or an electronic sensor is typically located within the flow passage, which may measure mass flow rate and may have two resistive thermal devices (RTDs) located on either side of a heat source. The body may have two elongated port tubes configured to attach to tubing. The port tubes may contain venturis, and may be substantially straight and substantially parallel, forming a U shape. A metal lead frame may be provided in electrical communication with the sensor. The lead frame may be integrally molded within the body, and may have a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the body. The internal flow passage and the sensor may be substantially symmetrical and measure the flow rate of the fluid substantially equally in either flow direction. The system may be configured for surface mounting or for through-hole mounting, and may be a dual in-line type.

Abstract: A hand-held input device provides a directional force feedback that acts on
a housing of the device. The input device includes a threaded shaft that is
rotatably driven by an electric motor. The motor causes a mass to move in
response to a control signal received from a host computing device, such as
personal computer that is executing a game or simulation. When the mass is
rapidly accelerated or abruptly stopped in response to the control signal, the
change in momentum of the mass imparts a directional reactive force to the
housing, and an operator holding the housing feels the haptic force.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for synchronizing a timing device, for instance a
real time clock that is embodied on a time-stamping cipher module, of a system via a
communications network having an unknown transmission time with timing devices of n
systems. At least a first and a second set of time synchronization signals are iteratively
exchanged between the systems via the communications network. Data relating to a
communication delays between the systems and statistical data relating to at least one of a
precision of the synchronization and a convergence of the iteratively exchanged time
synchronization data is determined. When the data relating to a precision of the
synchronization are within predetermined threshold values, the system is synchronized.
Further, when the data relating to a convergence of the iteratively exchanged time
synchronization data is indicative of other than convergence, irregular communications
network behavior is indicated and the system sends at least an error message in dependence
thereon.

player to enter a tournament based on a qualifying outcome achieved on the
gaming device. In one embodiment, the gaming device includes a set of reels
including at least one qualification symbol. If at least one qualification symbol
is displayed within a display device of the gaming device, the player qualifies

including high value items such as cars and motorcycles as well as lower
valued items such as hats, T-shirts, jackets, memorabilia and other
merchandise. In this regard, the tournament provides convenience to a

Filed: 2002-09-30
Abstract: Phase noise is at least partially cancelled for an interferometric
system (42) by using a delay/phase cross-correlation approach for two interferometers
(12 and 14) within the system. The cross-correlation approach
may be used in measuring group delay (44) of a device under test and
includes determining the differences (46 and 48) between the phase of the
output of each interferometer at time t and the phase of the same output at
the time t minus the delay of the other interferometer. In one embodiment,
the first phase difference is the difference between the phase of a test
interferometer output (52) at time t and the phase of the test interferometer
output at the time t offset by the known delay of a reference interferometer.
The second phase difference is calculated using the same technique, but the
time offset is a delay representative of the relative delay of two light
propagations within the test interferometer. A noise-cancelled time series
output that is indicative of group delay can then be generated by determining
the difference between the first and second differences.

Abstract: A system for controlling use and distribution of digital works, in which the owner of a digital work (101) attaches usage rights (102) to that work. Usage rights are granted by the "owner" of a digital work to "buyers" of the digital work. The usage rights define how a digital work may be used and further distributed by the buyer. Each right has associated with it certain optional specifications which outline the conditions and fees upon which the right may be exercised. Digital works are stored in a repository. A repository will process each request (103,104) to access a digital work by examining the corresponding usage rights (105). Digital work playback devices, coupled to the repository containing the work, are used to play, display or print the work. Access to digital works for the purposes of transporting between repositories (e.g. copying, borrowing or transfer) is carried out using a digital work transport protocol. Access to digital works for the purposes of replay by a digital work playback device(e.g. printing, displaying or executing) is carried out using a digital work playback protocol. Access is denied (106) or granted (107) depending whether the requesting repository has the required usage rights.

Abstract: A method for orientation-directed construction of a construct including at least two nucleic acid segments of interest. Products are provided having phosphorylated blunt ends derived from the nucleic acid segments of interest. Separate ligation reactions are performed wherein in each reaction the phosphorylated blunt-ended products of two different segments obtained in the previous step are ligated to create a combined ligated sequence. PCR amplification reaction is performed using the combined ligated sequence obtained in the previous step as a template and specific enrichment primers direct the PCR amplification towards the desired orientation. Each combined ligated sequence is amplified in a separate reaction creating a combined product having phosphorylated blunt ends. The combined product is isolated and purified to have the enriched desired orientation. Self-ligation of the isolated purified combined product is performed to create a circular double-stranded DNA construct containing the desired segments properly aligned and operably linked.
