Title: A method of controlling fungal pathogens, and agents useful for same
Inventor: NAYUDU MURALI
IPC: A01N63/27
Filed: 2000-01-28
Abstract: A method of preventing or treating infection by a range of fungal pathogens in an animal or plant or stored plant product comprising administering an effective amount of a sugar acid, in particular mannonic acid, gluconic acid  or galacturonic. The sugar acid can be delivered by a biocontrol that can manufacture the sugar acid. An exemplified biocontrol is Pseudomonas strain AN5, which is characterized by the capacity to convert aldose to sugar acid.  Also disclosed are nucleotide sequences from enzymes in the Pseudomonas PQQ enzyme pathway which may be used to transform microorganisms and plants so that they produce sugar acids at levels sufficient to control the growth or viability of pathogens.

Abstract: Fuel fired power vented and natural draft type water heaters are provided with flammable vapor sensors operative to detect flammable vapors exteriorly adjacent the water heater and responsively preclude fuel flow to the burner portion of the water heater. In each water heater a flow tube is extended between the flammable vapor sensor and the draft structure of the water heater and forms a flow path isolated from the combustion chamber of the water heater. in the event that flammable vapors are present exteriorly adjacent the water heater, the forced or natural draft of the water heater creates a biased flow of flammable vapors which is sequentially drawn across the vapor sensor and through the isolated flow path to the draft structure of the water heater.

Title: Barriere isolante d'une carte a circuit imprime
Inventor: BELWON WALDEMAR
IPC: H05K1/18
Filed: 2000-05-15
Abstract: L'invention concerne un ensemble carte à circuit imprimé (PCB) pourvu d'un transformateur d'isolation qui agit comme barrière isolante entre deux systèmes électriques. Selon l'invention, l'ensemble carte à circuit imprimé (PCB) comprend au moins deux sections PCB séparées (21, 22) et le transformateur d'isolation (10) sert de structure support pour interconnecter mécaniquement lesdites sections. Les sections PCB étant séparées, elles n'affectent plus la distance de glissement de la barrière isolante. En revanche, le matériau isolant et la conception physique du transformateur (10) déterminent la distance de glissement minimale requise. Le matériau isolant du transformateur ayant généralement une valeur indice de poursuite comparatif (CTI) considérablement plus élevée que celle du matériau PCB, on obtient une distance de glissement assez courte requise. En rompant la voie de glissement sur la carte imprimée, la taille du transformateur est nettement réduite que dans les systèmes selon l'état de la technique.

Abstract: There is disclosed an isolated cDNA sequence (SEQ ID NO:1) encoding a P4.33 polypeptide and comprising a coding region (SEQ ID NO:2) of the sequence described in SEQ ID NO:1, or a sequence having at least 90 % homology with the coding region of SEQ ID NO:1. The P4.33 polypeptide functions as a specific cell-surface receptor for IGFBP-3, and undergoes nuclear translocation in combination with IGFBP-3. IGFBP-3 and P4.33 (IGFBP-3R) cooperatively suppress DNA synthesis and cell growth, and induce caspase activation and apoptosis in cancer cells, indicating that P4.33 is an important mediator of IGF-independent growth inhibitory actions of IGFBP-3. The P4.33:IGFBP-3 system of the present invention can be used, inter alia, in screening and diagnostic assays, and for therapeutic methods for cancer treatment and tumor suppression.
