Inventor: COLOMBO ROBERTO
IPC: H04L7/02
Filed: 1990-03-23
Abstract: The timing recovery device of the sampling type uses two signal samples per symbol time and takes a control signal (for a local oscillator which generates the timing signal) given essentially by the product of a reconstruction error signal [ epsilon n(to)] appraised at the generic sampling instant (to), multiplied by the difference between the values of the reconstructed symbols, taken at one-half symbol interval [yn(to+T/2), yn(to-T/2)] respectively before and after said sampling instant. The control signal [Un(to)] thus obtained allows generation of a timing signal (CK) which positions with extreme accuracy and stability the sampling instant of the received signal at the minimum points of the mean square error curve, even under selective fading conditions.

Abstract: When a blank is cut from metal sheet which suffers from crystallographic anisotropy, there is a tendency for ears to be formed during subsequent forming operations, such as drawing or pressing. In order to compensate for this tendency, there may be used a metal blank which is not completely round, but has lobes at positions to cancel at least some of the valleys between the ears. There is described a punch (110) and die (111) which may be used to form such a lobed blank (112). The punch (110) has four circumferentially extending lobe-forming sections (124). Each lobe-forming section is constructed by forming a stepped recess in the cutting edge of the punch (110). In each lobe-forming section, the depth of the recess varies from a maximum at the middle of the section to zero at the ends. The die (111) is conventional.

Abstract: An assembly for controlling the position of a lens (122) in an optical data storage and retrieval drive includes a carriage that suspends a lens holder using a plurality of flexures (260,262). A lens is mounted in the lens holder such that the center of mass of the suspended lens holder lies on the optical axis of the lens, and also coincides with the center of mass of the lens. The lens holder is capable of relative motion with respect to the carriage (106) with at least one degree of freedom. The center of mass of the carriage lies within 0.1mm of the optical axis, proximate the center of mass of the lens holder. Suspensory forces acting on the lens holder are symmetric about the optical axis. A coarse magnetic drive moves the carriage in a tracking direction, and exerts forces on the carriage that are balanced and symmetric about the optical axis, so that moments about the center of mass of the carriage are effectively absent. Inertial forces acting on the carriage, and forces reactive to the magnetic drive forces are also balanced and symmetric with respect to the optical axis, and produce insubstantial moments about the center of mass of the carriage. There is a fine tracking and a focusing drive for the lens holder. Both of these drives produce balanced and symmetric forces about the optical axis, such that moments about the optical axis are absent. Inertial forces and reactive forces acting on the suspended lens holder are also symmetric about the optical axis. As a result the objective lens moves along its optical axis, and in its tracking direction without change in attitude, and its focal point can be precisely controlled with respect to the surface of a storage medium being read or written. <IMAGE>

Title: Phoretic display device
IPC: G02F1/167
Filed: 2002-08-13
Abstract: A phoretic display device comprising a plurality of electrophoretic or magnetophoretic cells, each having a phoretic particle dispersed within a suspension medium comprising a liquid crystal material. The phoretic cell is adapted to induce defects, sometimes known as disclinations, in the alignment of the liquid crystal material within the cell which act to exert a retentive force on the phoretic particle when within the region of influence of the defects. The configuration of the display introduces a threshold level in the electric or magnetic field required to move the phoretic particle between defects within the cell. Accordingly, the non-linear electro-optic or magneto-optic behaviour of the display facilitates matrix addressing of the cells therein. The display may comprise a plurality of prolate spheroid phoretic cells arranged in an encapsulant, the major (long) axis of each cell arranged substantially perpendicular to the plane of the display.

Title: Anti-tumor vaccine based on normal cells
IPC: C12N5/0783
Filed: 2007-01-03
Abstract: A composition for inducing an immune response in a mammal, comprises lymphoid cells in which expression of tumor antigens has been chemically induced. The tumor antigens are induced in proliferating normal lymphoid cells, especially during the log phase of proliferation. The proliferation of the normal lymphoid cells is stimulated by normal mature dendritic cells. Most conveniently, the lymphoid cells are lymphocytes, especially peripheral blood lymphocytes. The tumor antigens are typically cancer/testis antigens, which may be chemically induced by DNA demethylation. Cancer/testis antigens are expressed in a wide range of tumors, so the composition is able to raise an immune response that is effective against a wide range of tumors, despite the fact that it is derived from normal cells. The composition may be used for preparation of an anti-tumor vaccine for prophylactic or therapeutic use. The composition may also be used for ex vivo activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes, followed by expansion of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte population by normal dendritic cells, for cancer treatment by adoptive T cell immunotherapy.
