Patent AU-780984-B2 (AU)
Title: Viral replicons and viruses dependent on inducing agents
Inventor: BERKHOUT BENJAMIN
IPC: C12N1/15
Filed: 2000-09-08
Granted: 2005-04-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to inducible viral replicons as regulatable live-attenuated vaccine candidates. In particular, it relates to the HIV-rtTA replicon whereby, aiming for regulated expression of the replicon, the rtTA gene has been inserted into the HIV1-Nef gene (i.e. under control of Nef regulatory elements), the TetO elements have been inserted into one or either LTRs, and the NF-Kappa-B sites of said LTRs have of have not been mutated. Aiming for further attenuation, the TAR hairpin and eventually also the Tat gene have been mutated. A conditional cytotoxic gene (e.g. HSV-tk) can eventually also be inserted into the replicon to provide for improved biosafety. Said replicon is intended to be used as live-attenuated HIV1 vaccine, but forced evolution (i.e. genetic drift of HIV due to the relatively poor fidelity of HIV1 RT) could be used to improve the present mutants, as well as to select for modified/improved rtTA-TetO regulatory systems.  <IMAGE>

Title: Guiding and holding mechanism for rescue cage - locks cage automatically on turntable ladder after completion of ladder movements
IPC: B66F11/04
Filed: 1971-02-11
Abstract: The guiding and holding arrangement is used for a working or rescue cage suspended from a turntable ladder or from a telescopic mast. The cage and its support beam are linked with connecting elements which can be locked relative to each other. The time up to the stopping of the cage is very short. This ensures max. savings in the aligning and the setting time due to the automatic actuators of the locking arrangement in relation to the operation of the support beam. The locking arrangement is connected to a remote actuation mechanism. The latter is controlled from the operating stand of the turntable ladder. This actuator switches the locking arrangement automatically into locked position when the support beam rotating, extending, alignment or inclining movements are stopped. The actuating arrangement can be operated by electric motor, solenoid, hydraulically or by a pneumatic arrangement.

Title: Rebound arrester with actuating lever for switchgear - has hingeable mount for lever on switching arm and held in starting position by spring
IPC: H01H1/50
Filed: 1972-07-26
Abstract: The switchgear has on its switching shaft a firmly mounted switching arm, actuating the arresting mechanism which has a locking lever which, after finished contact breaking, is moved by a pulse from the switch into a locked position in which the shaft is arrested. The locking lever (17) is hingeably mounted on the switching arm (12) and is held in its starting position by a spring (19) engaging the switch shaft. The locking lever is moved by a centrifugal force in such position that any rebound movement of the switch shaft (10) is blocked by a stop on the blocking lever in the rebound direction, acting against a stationary lockin f stop (20). The dimensioning of the locking lever is such that it moves into blocking position at a critical contact breaking speed only.

Title: Insulating cover for contact rail - with multi section design of interlocking, replaceable strips
IPC: B60M1/34
Filed: 1972-07-28
Abstract: The electric contact rail (1) is surrounded by an insulating shell (4) on three sides, with the bottom edges of the shell moulded with flanges (5). These flanges either grip into grooves in the rail, or form fitting flanges for other insulating strips (6) pressed onto the flanges to leave a narrow slot through which the contact wiper engages the rail. The lateral flanges can support a U-shaped metal insert strip (2) to form a low wear contact rail. The lateral strips are easily replaced when worn and their length is several times that of a length of contact rail to reduce wear at the joints. The narrow slot prevents electrocution, being too narrow for fingers.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To decrease quantization distortions while using the conventional code book and to enable the normalization of a spectrogram with high accuracy without increasing the leaning words in speaker adaptation by introducing the fuzzy vector quantization which expresses input vectors by the degree of reversion to the existing code book. CONSTITUTION:The fuzzy vector quantization which expresses the input vector by the degree of the reversion from the existing code vector is executed in accordance with a digitized speech signal and thereafter, the spectrogram is extracted and the correspondence is executed between the different speakers with respect to the code book of the vector quantization. The spectrogram is normalized in accordance with this correspondence. The fuzzy vector quantization expressing the input vector by the degree of reversion to the existing code book is thereby executed and the correspondence between the different speakers is executed by using the conventional code book. The normalization of the spectrogram is executed in accordance with this correspondence. The quantization distortions are thereby decreased and the normalization of the spectrogram is executed with the high accuracy without increasing the leaning words in the speaker adaptation.
