Patent EP-1545765-A2 (EP)
Inventor: COLBY MARY W
IPC: F24F8/167
Filed: 2003-08-26
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de filtrage microbicide présentant une pression de chute supérieure et une complexité faible. L'invention concerne également un procédé permettant de produire un tel système. Le système décrit dans cette invention comprend une multitude de billes de verre entre lesquelles des pores sont formés pour permettre la circulation de l'air à travers elles. Les billes de verre frittées sont enrobées dans un oxyde métallique de transition et dans de l'eau. Une source de lumière UV est utilisée pour provoquer une réaction photocatalytique entre l'oxyde métallique de transition et l'eau. Des radicaux hydroxyles libres présentant des propriétés microbicides sont produits. Une mousse d'uréthane peut être insérée entre les billes de verre avant le frittage de manière à permettre une répartition bimodale du diamètre des pores, et des particules placées sur les billes de verre peuvent être ajoutées pour modifier l'activité surfacique.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for converting an input voltage VIN to a digital output. A comparison of VIN with reference voltages in one or more flash-type analog-to-digital (A/D) converters generates the digital output representing VIN. If one A/D converter is used, the A/D converter is non-linear. If more than one A/D converter are used, the A/D converters are each linear.

IPC: C12N5/09

Abstract: The present invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery of certain genes which are absent from T regulatory cells and present on effector T cells (Th1 and Th2), e.g., Protein Kinase C Theta (PKC theta). Furthermore, a pathway essential for the production of inflammatory cytokines and cellular proliferation of inflammatory, effector T cells is not utilized by regulatory T cells. Accordingly, in one aspect the invention provides methods for promoting regulatory T cell function in immune cells relative to effector T cell function, comprising contacting immune cells with an agent that inhibits a protein kinase C theta pathway in the immune cells. In another aspect, the invention provides methods for treating a subject having a condition that would benefit from promoting regulatory T cell function relative to effector T cell function in the subject, comprising administering an agent that inhibits a protein kinase C theta pathway in immune cells of the subject. In still another aspect, the invention provides assays for screening compounds that specifically modulate an effector T cell function without modulating regulatory T cell function comprising contacting a protein kinase C theta pathway molecule with a test compound and determining the ability of the test compound to modulate the protein kinase C theta pathway molecule activity, wherein modulation of a protein kinase C theta pathway molecule activity indicates that the test compound is a specific modulator of an effector T cell function.

Abstract: As for the dual emission display device, since light is emitted to the opposite
directions from a light emitting element, the both electrodes provided opposite to the
light emitting element are transparent/ translucent. Accordingly, difficulty in black
display is created, and thus, the contrast would be reduced. That results from that the
back of the display device can be seen through in black display, that is in the OFF state,
since the both electrodes have transparency. Addressing the difficulty in black display
with respect to an electronic device and the like including a dual emission display
device achieving reduction in the thickness and light weighting, pure black display is
performed by providing the dual emission display device part with a polarizing plate or
a circularly polarizing plate. Further, the contrast can be improved.

Abstract: To efficiently generate image data by using
correction data. First offset data is obtained in
advance for each of a plurality of imaging times, and
is stored in a second image storage unit. The imaging
time requested by a user is selected from the
plurality of imaging times by a control unit, and an
object is shot in the selected imaging time so as to
store image data in a first image storage unit. A
correction processing unit offset-corrects the image
data by using first offset data corresponding to the
selected imaging time and outputs first image data
(preview image). In parallel with an output of the
first image data, an imaging operation without
irradiation is performed to have second offset data
on approximately the same condition as actual imaging
obtained by the control unit, and the image data is
offset-corrected by using the obtained second offset
data so as to output second image data.

Abstract: A method to perform DC compensation on a Radio Frequency (RF) burst transmitted
between a servicing base station and a wireless terminal in a cellular wireless communication
system that first receives the RF burst modulated according to either a first or second
modulation format. Samples from the RF burst, taken from the training sequence, are produced
and averaged to produce a DC offset estimate. The DC offset estimate is then subtracted from
each of the samples. The modulation format of RF burst may then be identified from the
samples. Depending on the identified modulation format, the DC offset estimate may be re-added
to the samples when a particular modulation format is identified as the modulation
format of the RF burst. This decision is made based on how well various components within
the wireless terminal perform DC offset compensation.
