Patent EP-0693940-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LUPTON STEPHEN D
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 1994-04-04
Abstract: Recombinant vectors are provided that render the proliferative response of activated lymphocytes, particularly cytotoxic T lymphocytes, of lessened dependency on T helper cells. The vectors are comprised of a region encoding a stimulatory factor polypeptide operably linked to a heterologous transcriptional control region. Expression of the stimulatory factor polypeptide from the recombinant polynucleotide in an activated lymphocyte renders the proliferative response of less dependent on lymphocyte T helper cells. When the lymphocyte is activated by binding of its cognate antigen the transcriptional control region causes transcription of the stimulatory factor encoding region. The cells containing the vector, particularly CTLs, are of use in immunotherapy.

Abstract: Machine agricole sous forme de pulvérisateur pouvant être reliée à un véhicule tracteur et comportant un ou plusieurs récipients de stockage d'un ou plusieurs produits destinés à être acheminés par pompage dans un système de canalisations et, le cas échéant, épandus. La machine agricole comporte des flèches (12) pourvues d'unités d'épandage reliées au système de canalisations. Le système de canalisations est pourvu d'une ou plusieurs vannes de régulation du débit des matières en écoulement dans le système. Ladite machine agricole est caractérisée en ce que les vannes sont alignées les unes sur les autres conformément au principe des processus de commande simultanée. Par conséquent, l'actionnement des vannes est facilitée et simplifiée, et l'extension du système en vue d'intégrer une fonction supplémentaire s'effectue tout simplement en rajoutant une vanne supplémentaire alignée sur les autres vannes déjà montées. En outre, la localisation des éventuelles défaillances est facilitée car les fonctions ne coopèrent plus les unes avec les autres et sont, en principe, indépendantes.

Abstract: A speech synthesis system comprises a phonological converter (10), a word parser (11), a syllable parser (12), temporal and parametric interpreters (13, 14), a file (15) and a synthesizer (16). The word parser (11) and syllable parser (10) receive an input text which includes words in a defined word class. The word parser (11) parses each word to determine whether it belongs to the defined class of words. The parser (11) includes a knowledge base containing the individual morphemes utilized in the defined word class, each morpheme being a root or an affix, the binding properties of each root and each affix, the binding properties for each affix also defining the binding properties of the combination of the affix and another affix or another root, and a set of rules defining the manner in which the roots and affixes may be combined to form words. The syllable parser (10) determines the phonological features of the constituents of each syllable of the input text. The metrical parser (12) determines the stress pattern of the syllables of each word. The temporal and parametric interpreters (13, 14) interpret the phonological features together with the stress pattern to produce a series of sets of parametric values for driving the synthesizer (16). The synthesizer (16) produces a speech waveform. If desired, the parameter values may be stored in the file (15) for later use.

Abstract: A hydraulic pressure control system for a frictional engagement element such as clutches for a vehicle automatic transmission. The engagement state of the clutches, i.e., the normality of clutch state or operation is discriminated by detecting the degree of clutch engagement (clutch slippage), specifically by calculating a ratio between the input rotational speed and the output rotational speed, and by comparing the calculated ratio with the gear ratio designated by the shift command at that time. When the clutch is found to be normal, the hydraulic pressures on the releasing and engaging clutches are controlled for temporarily bringing the total torque transferred by the two clutches below the transmission input torque, i.e., for reducing the co-engagement amount to the required minimum. On the other hand, when it is ascertained that the clutch is not normal, the hydraulic pressures of the two clutches are controlled in a conventional manner.
