Abstract: Tous les numéros utilisés dans le jeu de bingo sont affichés sur un panneau d'affichage électronique situé dans la salle de jeu de bingo. Au début de chaque jeu, un générateur électronique de nombres aléatoires sélectionne un groupe déterminé de numéros de bingo, qui seront des numéros "rouges" pendant le jeu en question. Le générateur sélectionne également un groupe déterminé plus restreint de numéros de bingo, qui seront des numéros "à bandes rouges" pendant ce même jeu. Tous les autres numéros demeurent "blancs" pendant le jeu. Lorsqu'un joueur réalise un bingo, il gagne des lots prédéterminés selon le type de bingo réalisé, à savoir un bingo composé uniquement de numéros "à bandes rouges", un bingo composé uniquement de numéros "rouges" ou un bingo composé uniquement de numéros "blancs", ou alors présentant une combinaison quelconque de couleurs. Le lot de valeur la plus élevée correspond au bingo composé uniquement de numéros "à bandes rouges", alors que le joueur dont le bingo est composé uniquement de numéros "rouges" touche un lot intermédiaire et le joueur dont le bingo est composé uniquement de numéros "blancs" touche un lot de valeur inférieure. Tout autre bingo présentant une combinaison quelconque de couleurs ne touche que le lot de valeur minimale. On peut compléter le jeu de bingo par une caractéristique de progression, selon laquelle un joueur peut faire un pari séparé supplémentaire afin de participer à l'extraction du lot relatif au jackpot progressif. Des poules de jackpot progressif peuvent être créées pour un bingo composé uniquement de numéros "à bandes rouges", un bingo composé uniquement de numéros "rouges" ou un bingo composé uniquement de numéros "blancs", et également pour un bingo "cas spécial", c'est-à-dire un bingo manqué d'un numéro seulement. Une poule de lot permet aux joueurs ayant réalisé un bingo "cas spécial" de toucher un lot.

Abstract: A document composition supporting method and system for the support of document editing or translation use a data-based electronic terminology dictionary which is composed such that terms in standard expression and terms in alternative spelling/expression corresponding thereto are registered in association with each other. The terminology dictionary is stored in a CD-ROM, floppy disk or the like and the contents of the terminology dictionary are loaded into a hard disk of a computer system such as personal computer. The terminology dictionary is used to search an inputted document for terms in the document matching with terms in standard expression and terms in alternative spelling/expression registered in the terminology dictionary, and the result of search is displayed on a display unit. For terminological standardization of the document, the terms in the document matching with the terms in alternative spelling/expression inputted in the terminology dictionary are replaced by the corresponding terms in standard expression. For translation of the document with terminological standardization thereof, terms of a source language in standard expression and in alternative spelling/expression are applied with target equivalent of a target language corresponding thereto. The process and result of such terminological standardization or translation can be recorded.

Abstract: A port circuit for a time-division multiplexed (TDM) switching system is designed to effect sub-time-slot operation without external support, as well as to effect conventional time slot operation. A clock-frequency multiplier, such as a frequency-multiplexed phase-lock loop (PLL), and a multiplier-driven sub-time-slot operation circuit, such as a PLL-driven finite state machine, are incorporated into the port circuit. The clock-frequency multiplier and the sub-time-slot operation circuit generate all the additional control signals that are necessary to define sub-time-slots and to effect multiple information transfers in a single time slot. The port circuit engages in conventional time slot transfers with conventional port circuits, whereby it is compatible therewith, and engages in sub-time-slot transfers with other sub-time-slot enabled port circuits, whereby it increases the transfer throughput of the TDM switching fabric. The sub-time-slot operation is selectively enabled and disabled on a per- time-slot basis.

Title: Generation of immune responses to prostate-specific antigen (psa)
Inventor: PANICALI DENNIS L
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 1996-06-26
Granted: 2006-11-07
Abstract: We have discovered that by using a recombinant viral vector, preferably a pox virus vector having at least one insertion site containing a DNA segment encoding prostate-specific antigen (PSA), operably linked to a promoter capable of expression in the host, a specific humoral and cellular immune response to PSA can be generated. The method preferably comprises introducing a sufficient amount of the recombinant pox virus vector into a host to stimulate the immune response, and contacting the host with additional PSA at periodic intervals thereafter. The additional PSA may be added by using a second pox virus vector from a different pox genus. In another embodiment, additional PSA can be added by contacting the host with PSA by a variety of other methods, including in one preferred embodiment adding PSA. The PSA may be formulated with an adjuvant or in a liposomal formulation.
