Patent EP-0880844-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MULDER JACOB
IPC: H03K5/003
Filed: 1997-09-26
Abstract: A current distribution circuit for application in a communication device, such as a telephone subscriber circuit comprises a first current sinking branch, which is connected in parallel to a second current sinking branch. Both branches sink at least the DC current on the telephone line, whereas an excess current in the DC line is taken up by the second current sinking branch, which is provided with a current sinking transistor, whose collector/emitter voltage is relatively large. This leads to a reduced effectively needed chip area. The DC line-current can be measured by means of a low pass filter, preferable connected to a current mirror means.

Abstract: A method to control feature interaction and ensure compatibility among disparate service features, resources and terminals of a communications network is provided. Resource devices and terminals access a compatibility message bus via interface agent modules when originating requests or events. The message bus, which could be, for example, an Ethernet link of any length, is accessible to all devices and to one or more compatibility controllers in the computing platform of a PBX or switching office, or in a general computing platform separate from the switch or PBX. A temporary compatibility control module is then constituted, which processes requests and events, by retrieving processing rules stored in a data base to ensure provision of invoked service features in a controlled manner.

Abstract: In a recording apparatus for stably conveying a
recording medium to a recording portion by a convey
belt, the recording medium (not shown) is passed
through a nip of a pair of separation supply rollers
204, 205-1 and enters into a nip between a convey belt
301 and a driven roller 302-1. Thereafter, the
recording medium is conveyed by the convey belt 301
while being held down by spur wheels 303 to 307 and is
passed through a recording portion including various
color recording heads 400B, 400C, 400M and 400Y. When
a tip end of the recording medium is detected by a
recording medium detect sensor 314, the supply roller
205-1 is disengaged from the separation roller 204, so
that the convey belt 301 is not subjected to the
influence of the pair of separation supply rollers 204,
205-1 via the recording medium. Further, when a trail
end of the recording medium is detected by a recording
medium detect sensor 216, the driven roller 302-1 is
disengaged from the convey belt 301, so that the
recording medium is not subjected to conveyance
resistance from the driven roller 302-1.

IPC: A61K39/04

Abstract: The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Ag38 gene, which encodes a highly
immunogenic protein, was cloned into a retroviral vector in-frame
with the leader and the transmembrane portion of the nerve
growth factor receptor, and transduced into murine melanoma cell
line B16-B78. Significant protection was observed in mice
immunized with the transduced melanoma cells and subcutaneously
challenged with parental melanoma cells since only 20% of mice
developed tumors. Necroscopy of mice immunized with the
transduced melanoma cells revealed dramatic inhibition of
experimental metastases induced by intravenous (i.v.)
inoculation of parental melanoma cells. Moreover vaccination
with transduced cells significantly prolonged survival of mice
challenged i.v. with parental melanoma cells. These data
indicate that the presence of the mycobacterial 38-kDa protein
greatly enhances immunological recognition of structures
expressed by the parental melanoma cells. Comparison of Th1 and
Th2 responses in mice immunized with parental melanoma cells
versus mice receiving the transduced cells revealed a clear
predominance of Th1 responses when the Ag38 protein was
endogenously expressed. This novel transduction approach based
on the 38kDa antigen may represent a promising immunotherapeutic
strategy for the treatment of cancer patients. In addition, as
vaccine the transduced cells may be used for inducing immunity
to cancer.

Abstract: In a network in which signals are transmitted by
switching channels, a broad communication band is
assured. Even a signal, which has passed through a
switch once, and can reach its destination if that
switch designates a channel, is output from that switch
using an arbitrary channel in place of being output
using the designated channel. After that, the signal
which has made its journey around a ring once is output
by designating a channel. Since the last switch means,
which a signal passes through, receives the signal from
an arbitrary channel, a broad communication band can be
assured.

Abstract: The method involves the terminal (MT) determining whether it is in the radio coverage region (RADECT) of the radio fixed network station (DECTS). The terminal communicates via separate radio interfaces to fixed and mobile (e.g. GSM) networks. If the mobile terminal is moving within radio range of a selected fixed radio network station, it switches over the network side paths, of connection requests directed to the terminal to a path, via the selected fixed station by signalling to the mobile network (MN).
