Abstract: The present invention provides camel antibody libraries that
maintain  in vivo  diversity of camelid antibody variable region genes.
The  in vivo  diversity of antibody variable region genes can be
accomplished by, for example, mixing genes derived from a plurality
of animals or modifying gene amplification conditions. Conventional
methods yield only VHHs with limited repertoire diversity. However,
the present invention provides libraries comprising genes encoding
functional VHHs with sufficient repertoire size. According to the
present invention, libraries that enable to freely obtain VHHs against
arbitrary antigens are provided. VHHs have excellent solubility and
stability, and show a reactivity that usually cannot be expected from
tetrameric IgGs.

Abstract: A message authentication system for generating a message authentication code
(MAC) uses a single iteration of a keyed compression function when a message fits
within an input block of the compression function, thereby improving efficiency. For
messages that are larger than a block, the MAC system uses nested hash functions.
The MAC system and method can use portions of the message as inputs to the nested
hash functions. For example, the message authentication system can split the message
into a first portion and a second portion. A hash function is performed using the first
portion of the message as an input to achieve an intermediate result, and a keyed hash
function is performed using a second portion of the message and the intermediate
result as inputs. Thus, less of the message needs to be processed by the inner hash
function, thereby improving efficiency, especially for smaller messages.

Abstract: An image pickup apparatus having a plurality of
image pickup modes and a zoom lens for use with the image
pickup apparatus is configured such that, even if the
dimension of an effective screen region of an image
pickup element changes as a result of changeover of the
image pickup mode, the change of the angle of view is
moderated and good aberration correction can be achieved
in any of the image pickup modes. 
     In an image pickup apparatus (1), an additional
lens set (G5) having a positive refractive power is
positioned most adjacent the image side with respect to a
zoom lens (2) for movement to and from a position on an
optical axis of the zoom lens. Upon changeover of an
image pickup mode, the additional lens set is moved to or
away from the position on the optical axis to reduce or
extend the focal length range of the zoom lens thereby to
moderate the variation of the angle of view caused by a
difference in dimension of the effective screen region of
an image pickup element (12) when any different image
pickup mode is selected. Further, the movement of the
additional lens set to or from the position on the
optical axis is detected to set the states of components

Abstract: A brushless permanent magnet electric machine with a fixed radial air gap is operated to a much higher speed than normal maximum speed by the reduction in effective magnet pole strength. Increasing the amount of axial misalignment of the permanent magnet rotor and constant velocity bearing proportionally increases the speed and reduces the torque. The permanent magnet rotor is offset axially to provide axial misalignment between the rotor magnet poles and the stator, reducing the effective magnet pole strength or flux to the stator. An integral constant velocity linear bearing is used to couple the movable rotor and the fixed position motor shaft. A thrust bearing is actuated to offset the magnetic rotor against the attractive magnetic forces toward the stator. The use of a constant velocity linear bearing allows the motor shaft, radial support bearings, position encoder, cooling fan, and output coupling to remain in a constant position while rotor position is offset.
