Patent EP-0646644-A3 (EP)
Title: Periplasmic membrane-bound system for detecting protein-protein interactions.
Inventor: MENZEL ROLF
IPC: C12Q1/6897
Filed: 1994-09-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to:   (1) a fusion protein having a dimerizing domain with or without a ligand-binding region and toxR DNA-binding and hydrophobic transmembrane regions; (2) host cells comprising the fusion protein and a nucleic acid molecule having a reporter gene operatively linked to the ctx operon, wherein dimerization (ligand-dependent or -independent) is signaled by expression of the reporter gene;   (3) a nucleic acid molecule coding for the fusion protein; (4) an expression vector comprising a coding region for the fusion protein; (5) a process for detecting dimer formation (ligand dependent or ligand independent) of the fusion protein, which comprises treating a culture of the host cells with a ligand, ligand mimetic, or dimerization inhibitor, and screening for expression of the reporter gene.   The present invention can be used to generate a signal from a variety of ligand-binding domains, allowing ligand binding to be indicated by a simple colorimeteric test or antibiotic resistance. The fusion proteins could include therapeutically relevant domains, so that biologically pertinent interactions can be indicated by a readily measurable signal.

Abstract: The host adaptor package 4 and the disk adaptor
package 6 which constitute the magnetic disk subsystem
1 are connected to the common bus 3 consisting of a
data bus, a control bus, and a power line in the hot
replacement ready state. The packages 4 and 6 have
the control medium 11 and the clock generator 14 and
when a failure occurs in a package, the replace
controller 13 mounted in the control medium 11
executes the closing processing for the bus driver 15
and the clock generator 14. If this occurs, the clock
generator 14 enters the closed state, so that the
circuit in the package enters the reset state and the
package function is stopped, that is, the package
enters the closed state. As a result, hot replacement
of the closed package can be executed without
affecting the operation of the system.

IPC: B41J3/36
Filed: 1995-12-06
Abstract: A device for generating and registering dot
patterns of a plurality of sizes representing a user-defined
character unprovided therein, in which a dot
pattern of a predetermined size is generated by
enlarging an already-generated dot pattern of a size
smaller than the size of a currently generated object
dot-pattern to the size of the object dot-pattern when
dot patterns of sizes larger than the smallest size are
generated, and next displaying the enlarged dot pattern
and finally modifying the displayed dot pattern. This
device is provided with a dot pattern generating unit
for generating a current object dot pattern of one of
the sizes in response to an operation performed by a
user, and with an enlargement conversion unit for
performing an enlargement conversion from an already
generated dot pattern of one of the sizes to a
tentative dot pattern of a larger size which is
employed as an initial dot pattern of the larger size
to be used at the time of starting the generation of
the final dot pattern of the larger size. In the case
where the dot pattern generating unit finishes
generating the dot pattern of the larger size by
modifying the initial dot pattern having been once
enlarged, the enlargement conversion unit further
performs an enlargement conversion from the final dot
pattern to a dot pattern of a further larger size if 
the size of the final dot pattern is the predetermined
size. Thus the enlargement conversion unit obtains an
initial dot pattern of the further larger size to be
used at the time of starting the generation of the
final dot pattern of the further larger size.
Consequently, the operability of the device at the time
of registering dot patterns of a plurality of sizes,
which represent a user-defined character, can be
further improved.

Title: Method and apparatus for the production of TGF-beta and purified TGF-beta compositions
Inventor: PUNGAOR ERNO JR
IPC: C07K14/495
Filed: 1990-09-10
Abstract: Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) is produced in relatively large quantities and at a relatively high purity by fermentation in a perfusion microcarrier reactor. Conditioned media from the reactor is first treated to provide the active form of TGF-β and subsequently purified by cation exchange chromatography followed by hydrophobic interaction chromatography. Nucleic acids complexed with the TGF-β are removed while the protein is bound to the cation exchange resin. Purified TGF-β1 compositions have a specific activity above 10<sup>7</sup>U/ml.

Abstract: In a developing device (2) for an image forming apparatus
and of the type using a developer consisting of toner and
magnetic carrier, a toner hopper (8) has an opening for
replenishing toner stored therein. The developer is regulated
by a doctor blade (6) to form a thin layer on a developing sleeve (4).
The developer scraped off by the doctor blade is introduced
into a developer storing chamber (10) and caused to move toward
the opening (8a) of the hopper due to its own internal pressure and
gravity. The developer taken in toner from the hopper is
returned toward the doctor blade along the surface of the
sleeve. The developer on the sleeve and regulated by the
doctor blade is conveyed to a developing position where the
sleeve faces an image carrier (1). The toner contained in the
developer is a magnetic toner. When the toner concentration
of the developer has reached an upper limit, a space or gap
exists in the developer storing chamber.

Abstract: The present invention provides for
selective droplet dispersion. The selective droplet
dispersion technique of the present invention is
used to optimize image quality from a continuous ink
jet printer. Initially, a pixel to be printed is
identified, and then placement of droplets within
the pixel to be printed is selected to optimize
image quality. The selection can be unconditional,
wherein the placement of droplets is not dependent
on neighboring pixels. Such selection includes
printing first or last available droplets, or
centering the droplets within the pixel to be
printed. The selection can also be conditional,
wherein placement of droplets is dependent on
surrounding pixels. Such selection includes
providing data from at least one surrounding pixel
relative to the identified pixel and using the
surrounding pixel data to select droplet placement
within the identified pixel.

blind interval the FFF coefficients are adapted blindly for
equalizing pre-ghosts. In a subsequent decision-directed mode the
slicer output is used for adapting both the FFF and DFF non-linearly.
