Abstract: A novel method for refolding reduced IGF-I is provided in accordance with the present invention. The method is carried out by providing additional positive charge at the amino terminal end of the IGF-I molecule by the presence of a short leader sequence. The additional positive charge on the met-end of the IGF-I molecule has been found to enable recombinant IGF-I to refold simply by stirring solubilized inclusion body protein for between 2-16 hours, or overnight. The present invention also provides a novel fusion protein intermediate of IGF-I attached to the positively charged leader sequence.

Abstract: In electronic communication systems, negotiations are performed between two pieces of apparatus (e.g. modems) in order to ensure technical compatibility during subsequent data transmission. Instead of performing security checks in the known manner after the negotiations have been completed (e.g. sending an access code or identity code), the invention teaches that the negotiations themselves should be customized to include security checks. For example, during negotiations between a call modem and an answer modem, the call modem includes a "first indication" in the negotiations. The answer modem detects the "first indication" and permits the call modem to have access to restricted access data during data transmission after the negotiations have been completed. The "first indication" may comprise a negotiation segment having a precise length and/or containing an embedded code. The answer modem may include a "second indication" in the negotiations in order to trigger the call modem to produce the "first indication". Also, the call modem may include a "third indication" in the negotiations after the "first indication" in order to identify more precisely or uniquely the call modem.

Abstract: An improved video signal recording system for recording a full bandwidth video signal on a limited bandwidth medium includes an encoder 10, coupled to an input terminal 5, for adaptively processing a composite video signal in response to a motion representative signal, and producing two signals; a luminance signal Lf, having attenuated high frequencies subsampled so as to be folded into a spectral hole in the low frequencies, and being bandwidth limited to the limited bandwidth of the recording medium, and a combined signal C+Mr including a chrominance and a motion component. Luminance signal recording circuitry 20 records the folded luminance signal on the medium, and chrominance signal recording circuitry records the combined chrominance and motion signal on the medium. An improved video signal playback system for reproducing such a prerecorded video signal is also disclosed. The playback system consists of a luminance signal playback circuit 60 for retrieving the prerecorded luminance signal Lpb from the medium, and a chrominance signal playback circuit 80 for retrieving the prerecorded combined chrominance and motion signal C+M from the medium. A decoder 70 extracts the motion signal and the chrominance signal from the combined chrominance and motion signal and an unfolding circuit extracts the luminance high frequencies from the prerecorded folded luminance signal and adaptively regenerates the full bandwidth luminance signal in response to the motion signal. This regenerated full bandwidth luminance signal is combined with the chrominance signal to reproduce the originally recorded composite video signal. A recording medium previously recorded by such a recording system is capable of being played back on a standard playback system without objectionable artifacts in the reproduced image. <MATH>   <MATH>

Abstract: A method of continuously digesting comminuted cellulosic fibrous material (e.g. wood chips) is provided which simultaneously improves uniformity of the end product and has substantial energy economy. The chips are slurried, e.g. with black liquor, and fed to the top of a vertical digester. In the digester the chips are soaked in and heated with black liquor withdrawn from near the bottom of the cooking zone, which black liquor is at cooking temperature. White liquor (kraft cooking liquor) introduced into the cooking zone is preheated by passing it in heat exchange relationship with a portion of the black liquor withdrawn from the digester, so that only a small amount of heat in the form of steam need be added to the white liquor to bring it to cooking temperature. At the top of the digester, a portion of the liquid in the slurry can be withdrawn through a screen, pressurized, and then introduced under pressure with a downward velocity component facilitating a zone of concurrent movement of the chips and liquor.

Abstract: A wireless in-building telecommunications system for voice and data communications is disclosed having at least one node (101) arranged for linking to the PSTN (151) and at least one digital information source (153, 155, 157, 159) multiplicity of user modules (103) (UM's) linked to the node via a shared RF communications path (107). Each UM is coupled to a voice telephone instrument (127) and to one or more data terminals (165). The UM's communicate with the node by exchanging fast packets via the common RF path (107). The node also includes a fast-packet-switched mechanism controlled by a bandwidth allocating scheme to prevent collisions of packets as they are transmitted between the various units (101, 103) (nodes and/or user modules) that may be accessing the RF path (107). Also disclosed is a method for allocating the required bandwidth to each of the users of the common communications path in a wireless in-building telephone system. The invention provides for the combination of both voice and data in a single switch using a common packet structure. It allows for the dynamic allocation of bandwidth based on system loading. This includes not only bandwidth within the voice or data areas of the frame, but also between the voice and data portions. It also synchronizes the transfer of the data and the allocation of bus bandwidth.
