Abstract: Polyolefins, preferably polyethylene, having a density of about 0.86 to about 0.93 g/mL, and having methyl branches and at least branches of two other different lengths of six carbon atoms or less, form heat seals at exceptionally low temperatures, thereby allowing good seals to be formed rapidly. This is advantageous when heat sealing these polyolefins, for example in the form of single or multilayer films.

Abstract: Improved laser eye surgery and/or eye tracking systems, methods, and devices make use of two image capture devices, generally with both image capture devices disposed off the optical axis of the eye and/or any laser delivery system. This provides an enhanced imaging contrast for an imaging capture device such as a camera with a charge-couple device (CCD), particularly when using infrared imaging to track a pupil of the eye. The two off-axis cameras may be used independently to track movements of the pupil along two orthogonal lateral axes of the eye (often called X-Y tracking), and may also indicate a position of the eye along the optical or Z axis.

Abstract: A polypeptide self-antigen useful in a tumor-specific vaccine mimics one or more epitopes of an antigen uniquely expressed by cells of the tumor. The polypeptide is preferably produced in a plant that has been transformed or transfected with nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide and is obtainable from the plant in correctly folded, preferably soluble form without a need for denaturation and renaturation. This plant-produced polypeptide is immunogenic without a need for exogenous adjuvants or other immunostimulatory materials. The polypeptide is preferably an scFv molecule that bears the idiotype of the surface immunoglobulin of a non-Hodgkin's (or B cell) lymphoma. Upon administration to a subject with lymphoma, the plant-produced, tumor-unique scFv polypeptide induces an idiotype-specific antibody or cell-mediated immune response against the lymphoma.

Abstract: Method and system for the weighing of sheets ( 6 ) of wood material on a sheet forming line, on which line the sheets are carried on a conveyor from a sheet forming apparatus and cooled down in a cooling turn gear comprising a cooling wheel ( 3 ) provided with radial supporters ( 5 ). The sheets ( 6 ) are weighed using a weighing system ( 8 ) which has been fitted in the cooling turn gear and which weights the sheets ( 6 ) when they are turned to an upright position or at least to a nearly upright position. The invention makes it possible to leave out the conveyor weight meter from the press line, thus allowing the press line to be made shorter. The weighing accuracy is substantially better than in a conventional conveyor weight meter solution because only the sheet itself is weighed instead of weighing the relatively heavy conveyor together with the light sheets on it.

Abstract: The features that are presented to an evolutionary algorithm are preprocessed to generate combination features that may be more efficient in distinguishing among classifications than the individual features that comprise the combination feature. An initial set of features is defined that includes a large number of potential features, including the generated features that are combinations of other features. These features include, for example, all of the words used in a collection of content material that has been previously classified, as well as combination features based on these features, such as all the noun and verb phrases used. This pool of original features and combination features are provided to an evolutionary algorithm for a subsequent evaluation, generation, and determination of the best subset of features to use for classification. In this evaluation and generation process, each combination feature is processed as an independent feature, independent of the features that were used, or not used, to form the combination feature. In this manner, for example, a particular phrase that is generated as a combination of original feature words may be determined to be a better distinguishing feature than any of the original feature words and a more efficient distinguishing feature than an unrelated selection of the individual feature words, as might be provided by a conventional evolutionary algorithm. The resultant best performing subset is subsequently used to characterize new content material for automated classification. If the automated classification includes a learning system, the evolutionary algorithm and the generated combination features are also used to train the learning system.
