Patent EP-0637963-A1 (EP)
Inventor: THOMPSON CRAIG B
IPC: A61K35/14
Filed: 1993-04-06
Abstract: Immunotherapy of the present invention involves the regulation of the T cell immune response through the activation or suppression/inactivation of the CD28 pathway. Induction of activated T cell lymphokine production occurs upon stimulatory binding of the CD28 surface receptor molecule, even in the presence of conventional immunosuppressants. Inhibition of CD28 receptor binding to an appropriate stimulatory ligand or inactivation of the CD28 signal transduction pathway through other means down-regulates CD28-pathway related T cell lymphokine production and its resulting effects.

Abstract: Le procédé consiste à infiltrer une préforme autorenforcée de β-Si3N4 avec un métal ou un verre cristallisable pour fournir un matériau composite. La préforme possède une phase vitreuse mineure et elle a une densité située entre 50 et 70 pour cent de la densité théorique. On prépare la préforme en β-Si3N4 en soumettant un corps poreux formé à partir d'une composition de poudre de $(a)-Si3N4 à deux traitements thermiques successifs. Le premier traitement se fait au-dessous de la température de conversion α -> β et produit un corps renforcé qui peut être usiné. Le second traitement thermique se fait au-dessus de cette température et produit une préforme autorenforcée de β-Si3N4. Des procédés d'infiltration conventionnels avec un composé d'infiltration qui est un métal ou un verre produisent un matériau composite Si3N4/métal ou Si3N4/verre qui a 50 à 70 pour cent de son volume occupé par des barbes de β-Si3N4.

Abstract: A catalyst for methanol reforming which consists of an alloy represented by the general formula TM, wherein T is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ti, Zr, Hf, Y, Nb and Zn; and M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of elements (Cu, Ag and Au) belonging to group IB of the periodic table and elements (Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir and Pt) belonging to group VIII of the periodic table, said alloy having a surface comprising an oxide including the element T and, dispersed therein, fine metal particles composed of the element M. The catalyst is produced by preparing an alloy having an amorphous phase and/or a microcrystalline phase from a molten composition of TM, and subsequently heating the alloy at 50 to 700°C in an oxidizing atmosphere or an atmosphere like that in which methanol reforming is performed. Using the catalyst, methanol reforming can be efficiently performed at relatively low temperatures.

Abstract: A tuner for Radio Data System is including: receiving unit (10,20) for receiving signals modulated to a plurality of frequencies each allocated to a plurality of channels; channel selecting unit (73) for selecting one of the plurality of channels by manipulating an input portion (75) corresponding thereto; reproducing unit (40,50) for reproducing signal modulated to the frequency corresponding to the channel selected by the channel selection unit; and function setting unit (71) for setting special function relating to RDS for the plurality of channels. The function setting unit invalidates the special function with respect to a part of the plurality of channels. 
     Further, it is also possible to cancel all special functions relating to RDS when RDS data is not included in the signal. 
     It is possible to invalidate the traffic report waiting function, by simply pressing the preset key, only for the channel which include no RDS data. Therefore, the operation of the invalidation is simplified, and the operation does not affect the function of the other channels allocated to other broadcasting stations.

Abstract: The object of the invention comprises a method and a device for compensating the DC offset (dU) of a D/A converter (2) particularly in the base frequency modulator of a mobile phone. The method and the device use an error correction register (5), whose value is changed on the basis of the DC offset, and which is added to each signal sample to be converted for compensating the DC offset. The value of the error correction register (5) is changed in the testing mode so that a preset control value is fed into the D/A converter (2), corresponding to the zero voltage of the output of an ideal D/A converter; the voltage values of the outputs of the differential output pair (2a, 2b) arranged in connection with the D/A converter (2) are compared to verify the polarity of the voltage difference (dU) of the outputs and the polarity, i.e. the sign, of the relative DC offset; and, on the basis of the polarity of the voltage difference (dU), the value of the error correction register (5) is either decreased or increased by one from the preset initial value which is preferably zero.

The kinetic energy regenerating device (1) comprises a main shaft (2) connected to the output shaft of a driving means, a main disk (5) fixedly mounted on the main shaft (2), a first rotor (6) supported on the main shaft (2) for rotation relative to the main shaft (2), a flywheel (10) supported on the main shaft (2) for rotation relative to the main shaft (2), a first clutch (9) for engaging the main disk (5) and the first rotor (6) and disengaging the same from each other, and a torsion coil spring (16) elastically interlocking the first rotor (6) and the flywheel (10). The rotational energy of the main disk (5) is transmitted through the first clutch (9) to the first rotor (6) to rotate the flywheel (10) and, at the same time, to twist the torsion coil spring (16). Thus, the perfectly elastic collision between the rotational components on the driving side and the flywheel (10) through the torsion coil spring (16) is utilized.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé évitant l'utilisation de numéros non locaux temporaires attribués spécialement dans un système téléphonique mobile, destiné à acheminer des appels extérieurs à un abonné mobile (MS) se déplaçant dans le système. Selon l'invention, une trame de signal d'appel normalisé entrant (IAM) comprenant un premier champ de paramètres (addresse de correspondant demandé) comprenant un numéro d'abonné (MSN) est reconstitué. Le numéro d'abonné (MSN) se trouvant dans le premier champ de paramètres est remplacé par un numéro d'acheminement unique (PRN) du central téléphonique mobile (MSC/GSM) à l'intérieur de la zone de desserte duquel l'abonné mobile (MS) se déplace. Un identifiant international unique d'abonné mobile (IMSI) ainsi que le numéro d'abonné (MSN) sont insérés dans un second champ de paramètre (transfert d'information de fin, EIT). Ce procédé implique un principe d'adressage statique dans lequel l'adresse d'acheminement contient également directement le numéro (MSN ou IMSI) de l'abonné demandé. Ce procédé facilite le rétablissement de certains registres (HLR, GLR) après une défaillance.
