Title: Anti-feline calicivirus recombinant antibody and gene fragment encoding the same
Inventor: KIMACHI KAZUHIKO
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 1993-02-26
Abstract: Anti-FCV (feline calicivirus) feline-type recombinant antibody effective for treatment, prevention and diagnosis of FCV infection and a gene fragment useful for preparation of said antibody are provided. Cell line 1D7 capable of producing a mouse monoclonal antibody having an excellent FCV-neutralizing activity was constructed and a gene fragment coding for the V region in charge of the FCV-specific binding of said antibody was obtained. This gene fragment and the gene coding for the constant region of the feline antibody are used to give a chimeric anti-FCV recombinant antibody. The obtained recombinant antibody is a novel antibody and is useful for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of feline virus infections, particularly feline calicivirus infection, with high safety in administration into cats.

Title: Biodegradable polymer blend composition.
Inventor: TOMKA IVAN DR
IPC: C05F9/04
Filed: 1993-11-02
Abstract: A biodegradable polymer mixture is proposed which essentially comprises starch and at least one hydrophobic polymer. The hydrophobic polymer should be at least substantially biodegradable and thermoplastically processible, and the mixture with the starch should contain a polymeric phase promoter or a macromolecular dispersant, so that the starch is present in the mixture as the disperse phase with the hydrophobic polymer as the continuous phase, and the phase promoter or the dispersant is responsible for the molecular coupling of the two phases. The starch used is preferably thermoplastic starch prepared by means of sorbitol or glycerol essentially in the absence of water. The preparation of the biodegradable polymer mixture should likewise take place essentially in the absence of water.

Abstract: A digital answering system (100 ) automatically answers incoming
calls from a telephone network and records audible messages. The answering system
includes a calendar memory (110) which stores the present time-of-day and day-of-year.
The answering system also includes stored playback commands which instruct
it to generate telephone ringing signals at a predetermined time and then play back a
recorded audible reminder message. The answering system may be a stand-alone
unit which is parallel-connected to the telephone network and which generates
an audible alerting signal at the predetermined time. Alternatively, the answering
system (100) may be series-connected between the telephone network and a pair of
conductors to which one or more extension telephones are connected in parallel. In
the latter case, recorded audible reminder messages are delivered to an extension
telephone after the answering system causes them to ring at the predetermined time.
The playback command and audible reminder message are simultaneously entered,
either remotely or locally, into the answering system.

Title: Compact disc player security system reproducing method and apparatus
Inventor: KUTARAGI KEN
IPC: G11B7/24097
Filed: 1995-11-17
Abstract: A security system for preventing disc players from being used with unauthorized software Is disclosed. The security code is stored through modulating an offset of the physical position of a plurality of data bits from a nominal track position. A two part optical read head provides an RF signal corresponding to the presence of a physical offset modulation. The RF signal is present when there is a physical offset of the data bits defining a first logical state and the absence of the RF signal defines a second logical state. A digital security code is encoded and decoded in this manner. A system for encoding a security code through modulating the physical offset of a plurality of data bits from a nominal track position is also disclosed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for utilizing supplemental data to enable a voice-driven
telecommunication services system to build a speech recognition template data base. Such
supplemental data includes textual name data associated with many or all of a telecommunication
subscriber's incoming and outgoing calls. The textual name data, which typically represents the calling or
called party's name, is used to generate a speech recognition template using text-to-speech methods.
The number and the speech recognition template may then be recorded in a data base to facilitate voice-driven
services in connection with that party. A method according to the present invention includes
obtaining a first input, where the first input identifies an aspect of a telecommunication network user. The
first input may, for example, be the telephone number of the telecommunication network user. Then,
supplemental information that is related to the first input in a supplemental data base is identified and
retrieved from the supplemental data base. The supplemental information may, for example, be the
textual name data associated with the telecommunication network user. This supplemental information is
then utilized to create a speech recognition template. The speech recognition template may thereafter be
used to recognize a second input, said second input comprising a spoken utterance and containing
information representative of the supplemental information.

between the first baffle plate and an adjacent side-wall
of the ink supply reservoir satisfies the inequality
relationship b<(g/a)Dm/2k, wherein "g" is the local
acceleration of gravity; "a" is the acceleration
experienced by the ink supply reservoir during a change
in a travel direction, "Dm" is the change in an ejected
ink drop mass due to a change in an ink reservoir
pressure in the ink supply reservoir, and "k" is a slope
of the ink drop mass versus the ink reservoir pressure.
The baffle assembly loosely divides a volume of the ink
supply reservoir into a plurality of smaller
compartments. An ink flow between the plurality of
compartments may be provided by a gap between the first
baffle plate and the floor of the ink supply reservoir.

Abstract: A method and device for distinguishing man-made
electrical signals within a body from physiological
electrochemical activity. The method and device work by
detecting electrical signals within the body, and
distinguishing the man-made electrical signals from the
physiological electrochemical activity by calculating
conduction velocities for the detected electrical signals. In
distinguishing the signals, at least one pair of points (72,
74; or 76, 78) where the electrical signals are being detected
is designated as being of interest. At each point within this
pair, the occurrence of the arrival times of each electrical
signal is observed (48, 50, 60). On the basis of these
observed arrival times, the signal is then determined (64, 66,
70, 92) to be either man-made or electrophysiological in
origin.

Abstract: This fuel injection device changes stepwise the
effective opening area of the exhaust opening that
releases the fuel pressure in the balance chamber, in
order to control the lift velocity of the needle valve
to give flexibility to the pattern of the initial fuel
injection rate. The fuel injection device of this
invention switches the current value applied to the
solenoid(35) between the large and the small value to
change the distance traveled by the solenoid valve(5)
and thereby change the opening degree of the exhaust
port(33) that releases the fuel pressure in the balance
chamber(30). Because the return spring mechanism
having plural springs, the magnitudes of current
necessary to be applied to the solenoid(35) to move the
solenoid valve(5) are clearly differentiated. This
reduces variations in the process of releasing the fuel
pressure in the balance chamber(30), assuring a stable
fuel injection rate control. Further, if the amount of
current is changed while the needle valve is being
lifted, the initial fuel injection rate can be
controlled in many ways.
