Abstract: Um Erbgut zielgerichtet in Zellorganellen einzuführen, wird die entsprechende Nukleinsäure an ein zell-, kompartiment- oder membranspezifisches Peptid gebunden. Unter Ausnutzung der natürlichen Proteintransportwege wird die Nukleinsäure von dem Peptid zum Zielkompartiment dirigiert und durch die Membran (das Membransystem) transportiert. Damit die Nukleinsäure eine Replikations- und Transkriptionsaktivität in Zellen und Zellorganellen entfalten und über die Protein-Importroute eingeschleust werden kann, muß sie zum einen über alle notwendigen genetischen Elemente verfügen und zum anderen die Größenkapazität der Importpore nicht übersteigen. Die Kombination dieser Voraussetzungen führte zur Entwicklung eines linear-zyklischen Plasmidsystems, das zum einen alle notwendigen genetischen Elemente beherbergt und zum anderen durch seine pseudo-lineare Struktur (zyklisierte DNA-Enden) über die Protein-Importroute aufgenommen werden kann und anschließend zyklische Replikationsintermediate zu bilden vermag. Das Verfahren ermöglicht durch beliebige Kombination von Nukleinsäuren und kompartimentspezifischen Proteinsequenzen die zielgerichtete Einbringung von Nulkeinsäuren in Zellen und Zellorganellen und damit die Verwendung dieses Systems sowohl in der zielgerichteten Mutagenese als auch zur molekularen Therapie genetischer Erkrankungen.

Abstract: A velvet fabric is produced by warp knitting on a three-bar warp knitting machine by knitting ground yarns on the machine's middle bar to provide structural and dimensional integrity to the fabric and pile yarns on the machine's top bar in extended underlaps which are shearable, nappable, brushable, or otherwise raisable to produce an upstanding raised pile. In order to resist any tendency of the pile yarn to be pulled from the fabric, the present invention contemplates that the pile yarns should be microdenier multifilament synthetic yarns while the ground yarns should also be multifilament synthetic yarns of a relatively low denier per filament not exceeding approximately 1.5 denier per filament and of a total collective denier approaching but not exceeding that of the pile yarns, preferably in excess of about 75 percent of the total denier of the pile yarns.

Abstract: A method is described for filtering compressed images represented in the discrete-cosine-transform (DCT) domain. The filter (50) includes three sparse, vertical submatrices (V-, V++, V-+), which are sparse versions of the vertical filter components (VFCs) of a desired filter function that have been combined in such a way as to eliminate many of the non-zero elements. The filter (50) also includes three sparse, horizontal transpose submatrices (H<t>-, H<t>++, H<t>-+), which, like the vertical submatrices, are sparse versions of the horizontal filter components of the filter function. The sparseness of these sparse submatrices yields a significant reduction in the number of computations required to filter the image in the DCT domain. To take advantage of this discovery, the input DCT data blocks are "butterflied" to retain the relationship between the input data blocks and the filtered output data blocks as a function of these sparse submatrices. The sparseness of the vertical and horizontal submatrices reduces the number of computations required to filter the image. The sparseness of the DCT data blocks can also be used to further reduce the number of computations required. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of analysing a communication system to locate the source of a fault. The communication system comprises a signal carrying medium (9) coupled to a series of end station ports (2-6) which enable respective end stations (24) to transmit signals onto and receive signals from the medium and a controller (8) to control connection of end stations (24) to the medium via the ports (2-6). The method comprises disconnecting end stations (24) in series from the medium (9) in response to detection of a fault and then detecting whether the fault still exists. A fault analyzer (10) adapted to respond to the detection of a fault causes the controller (8) firstly to disconnect an end station (24) which has previously been characterised as the most likely source of a fault. The controller (8) may disconnect groups of end stations (24) and reconnect subgroups if no fault is present in the group which was not disconnected until the faulty end station is identified.

Abstract: A device (10, 80 or 120) for creating a sub-atmospheric pressure near the carina (12) of a human or veterinary patient (48) includes a channel (28) or perforation (92 or 132) for the passage of an oxygen-containing gas therethrough, the channel (28) or perforation (92 or 132) being open in a direction distal of the patient, so as to establish a zone (30, 94 or 142) of sub-atmospheric pressure by reverse venturi effect during patient exhalation. The sub-atmospheric pressure in the zone (30, 94 or 142) facilitates removal of carbon dioxide from the lungs (54) of the patient and permits intratracheal and/or intratracheal pulmonary ventilation to be performed at pressures less than those conventionally required for such ventilation. The device (10, 80 or 120) of the present invention is also advantageous in obviating the risks inherent in prior reverse venturi devices, specifically, the possibility of detachment of a tubular member in those devices, and the possible complications of surgical recovery of the tubular member from the bronchi (52) or lungs (54) of the patient (48). The device (10, 80 or 120) of the present invention achieves this latter advantage either by eliminating the tubular member of prior reverse venturi devices, or by providing a shoulder (130) affirmatively preventing distal movement and loss of it.

Abstract: A surface-emitting laser includes optically transparent layers on a side of a DBR mirror structure (24; 44; 74) that is opposite to an optical cavity of the laser. In one embodiment, the transparent layer is a heat-conducting layer (34) that has an efficient heat transfer relationship with an opening in a top electrode (30) and with a heat-spreading layer (36). The heat-spreading layer increases the diameter of the electrode, so as to reduce the thermal impedance of the surface-emitting laser. The heat-spreading layer may be annular in shape and may have an inside diameter (38) that is less than the outside diameter of the electrode, allowing the heat-spreading layer to first overlap the electrode and then overlap the portion of the heat-conducting layer that resides on the inside portion of the electrode. In another embodiment, the optically transparent layer is positioned between the top electrode (46; 76) and the top DBR mirror structure (44; 74) of the surface-emitting laser. In this embodiment, the transparent layer is a current-spreading layer (42; 64; 68) that reduces the lateral resistance of the laser. Lateral resistance is reduced by providing a layer having a thickness of one-half of the wavelength of the light energy generated in the laser times an odd multiple greater than one. Optionally, two half-wavelength layers (64 and 66) may be formed between the electrode and the mirror structure, with the upper layer (66) being selected primarily for its electrical properties and the lower layer (64) being selected primarily for its optical properties.

Abstract: A gaming machine has internal coin container sensors (110, 112) that sense the weight, and therefore, the number of coins contained in the internal coin containers (104, 106). The gaming machine also has mechanical and/or optical sensors (102, 114) to monitor the inflow and outflow of coins. By comparing the number of coins, as determined by weight, with the number of coins detected by the mechanical and/or optical sensors, fraud is readily detected.

Ensuite, pendant la phase de fonctionnement de décodage, le second comparateur compare les trois bits les moins significatifs (2;0) de l'adresse d'instruction de préextraction à 32 bits, et il produit un signal à 1 bit indiquant si cette comparaison a pour résultat une correspondance positive. Les deux signaux à 1 bit sont ensuite combinés logiquement, synchronisés avec le bit 3 [2] de l'adresse d'instruction de préextraction à 32 bits afin d'assurer que ces signaux à 1 bit sont basés sur des comparaisons correspondantes de la même adresse d'instruction de préextraction.
