Abstract: In fault-tolerant systems it is known to write data into two separate disk drives. It is also known to duplex computers so that when one computer fails, the other computer can continue operating. In such a system, the active unit usually controls both disk drives. It is also known to cache in the main memory of the computer the most recently used areas in the disk drive, since it is likely that these areas (e.g. directories) must be read again soon. A problem occurs when using duplexed computers each of which is to be provided with a possibility of using the disk drive (14, 24) while the operation is expedited by caching in the main memories of the computers (10, 20). If one computer modifies the data in the disk drive, the other computer is not necessarily aware of this, but it uses the outdated data in its memory. According to the invention, the computer (10) desiring to control the disk drive (14) reserves it for itself. If the reservation is successful, a disk talk is performed. If the data in the disk drive (14) is changed, the other computer (20) is informed of this change and it erases from its memory the cached data corresponding to the changed data.

Abstract: In this spectral transposition system for digital audio signals, the coefficients in an analysis filter are passed directly to the synthesis filter so that the coefficients in both filters match. The single unit delays in either or both of the analysis and synthesis filters are replaced by all-pass filters that provide a non-integer delay or an integer delay where the integer is greater than one. Thereby the transfer function for the analysis filter and/or synthesis filter is compressed/expanded depending on the transfer function of the all-pass filters. Thus, the dominant peaks or formants in the frequency spectrum of the resynthesized audio signal is transported to a user determined frequency range. The delay may be constant or variable over frequency. If the delay is variable over frequency so that it is other than 1.0 in the portion of the spectrum of interest for transposition of the spectral envelope and returns to 1.0 at the ends of the spectrum, the spectral envelope may be compressed or expanded without replication. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention features a G protein-coupled receptor that has an enlarged extracellular loop between the fourth and fifth transmembrane domains. A nucleic acid encoding the receptor was isolated from a human granulocytic cell library and antibodies generated against the polypeptide revealed expression in a variety of tissues including heart, placenta, and lung. This antibody, or others that specifically bind the G protein-coupled receptor of the invention, can be used in the diagnosis of diseases or conditions that are associated with upregulation of the receptor, as occurs, for example, when hematopoietic cells differentiate. These diseases include inflammatory and neurological diseases, particularly Alzheimer's Disease. The nucleic acids, polypeptides, and antibodies described herein can also be used as therapeutic agents to treat these diseases by inhibiting the expression or activity of the receptor. They can also be used in the treatment of obesity.

Abstract: On décrit un procédé qui permet de produire de l'acétate de vinyle par réaction en utilisant comme réactifs de l'éthylène, de l'oxygène et un acide acétique. Le procédé consiste à mettre ces réactifs et un composé du cuivre non halogéné au contact d'un catalyseur comprenant un support poreux sur les surfaces poreuses duquel on dépose des quantités catalytiquement efficaces de palladium métallique, d'or et de cuivre. Pendant le processus de préparation de l'acétate de vinyle, un circuit d'acétate de métal alcalin est, de préférence, passé au-dessus du catalyseur. Ce processus permet d'obtenir une plus grande sélectivité et productivité d'acétate de vinyle dues à la faible sélectivité de CO2 pendant la durée de vie du catalyseur.
