Title: Transgenic mammal comprising specific means for regulation of transgene expression
Inventor: MURPHY DAVID
IPC: A01K67/027
Filed: 1998-05-19
Abstract: A transgenic mammal comprises means to specifically induce expression of a DNA sequence by an induction compound, wherein said means comprises a gene encoding a transactivator polypeptide under the control of a cell-specific, or tissue-specific, promoter. Tissue-specific, or cell-specific, regulation of a DNA sequence comprises:  either I (i) providing a first mammal comprising a means, as defined above, to specifically induce expression of a DNA sequence by an induction compound; I (ii) providing a second mammal comprising a DNA sequence encoding a polypeptide under the control of a responsive element, which activates expression of the DNA sequence when bound by an altered transactivator polypeptide; I (iii) mating the first and second mammals to produce a third mammal; I (iv) activating expression of the DNA sequence by supplying the induction compound (or an analogue thereof) to the third mammal, thereby inducing an alteration in the transactivator polypeptide, which alteration (reversible on withdrawal of supply of the induction compound) enables the transactivator polypeptide to bind to the responsive element and activate expression of the DNA sequence in the cell or tissue; or II (i) providing a first mammal comprising means, as defined above, to specifically prevent expression of a DNA sequence by an induction compound; II (ii) providing a second mammal comprising a DNA sequence encoding a polypeptide under the control of a responsive element, which activates expression of the DNA sequence when bound by the transactivator polypeptide; II (iii) mating the first and second mammals to produce a third mammal; II (iv) preventing expression of the DNA sequence by supplying the induction compound (or an analogue thereof) to the third mammal, thereby inducing an alteration in the transactivator polypeptide, which alteration (reversible on withdrawal of supply of the induction compound) prevents the transactivator polypeptide from binding to the responsive element, thereby preventing expression of the DNA sequence in the cell or tissue. The mammal may be a rodent, especially a rat, and the promoter specific for neuronal cells, with the DNA sequence being expressed in the brain. The responsive element is preferably a tetracycline responsive element, and the induction compound tetracycline, or an analogue thereof (especially doxycycline). The vector may be a virus, especially an adenovirus.

Title: Clock wipe signal generator
Inventor: GREENWOOD JONATHAN MARK
IPC: H04N5/265
Filed: 1999-04-09
Abstract: A signal generator for use in a wipe generator comprises, for example, first and second ramp generators which produce a video ramp signals R1 and R2 (fig.4), respectively, for each pixel of a predetermined set of pixels h where h=0 to n of each of a predetermined set of video lines v where v=0 to m, of a picture, wherein each ramp signal is in the form of a plane by coefficients A1, B1 and C1 (ramp R1) and A2, B2 and C2 (ramp R2). The coefficients each have a magnitude equal to or greater than zero. The generator includes a means, for defining an angle of rotation, and means for varying A2, and B2 in accordance with the change in the angle of rotation. Ramp R2 is thereby caused to rotate. A ramp combining means non-additively mixes the first and second ramps, so as to produce a wipe pattern which rotates as a clock wipe (fig.25). Additional effects include edge-modulation and solid-modulation of the wipe solids. The solids may also be used as masks rather than wipes. More than two ramps may be used to produce solids or clock wipes.

Abstract: 1496438 Luminescent materials PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd 2 May 1975 [6 May 1974] 18431/75 Heading C4S [Also in Division H1] To maintain visible or long wavelength UV emission by phosphors excited by UV of 240 nm. upward from a discharge lamp with reduced requirement for phosphors, the phosphors mixture is applied in two or more layers either on the inner wall of the discharge tube, e.g. in a low pressure Hg lamp or on the inner wall of an outer envelope in, e.g. a high pressure Hg lamp. The layer nearest the discharge contains only phosphors, while deeper layers contain additionally successively higher proportions of a white pigment. The UV specific absorption of the pigment is less than 20% and preferably less than 10% of that of the least absorbent phosphor component. Suitable phosphors for good colour rendering are 1-5 micron grains of Alternatively Mn and Sb activated Ca halophosphates may be used. For the pigment preferably somewhat finer grains of C a P 2 O 7 or BaSO 4 are suitable. In an example with the stratum nearest the discharge containing 3 grams of phosphor and the deeper stratum containing controlled proportions of phosphor and pigment, curves (Fig. 2, not shown) show that compared with a single phosphor layer containing 6À5 grams of phosphor, a slight increase in brightness is achieved with, e.g. only 5 grams of total phosphor (2 gm. in deeper layer) and 4À5 grams of pigment. Beyond 6 grams of pigment adhesion fails.
