Abstract: A gas sensor is provided which includes a sensor cell. The
sensor cell is made up of a solid electrolyte member and a positive
and a negative electrode installed on the solid electrolyte member.
The sensor cell works to produce an electric current produced by a
flow of oxygen ions from the negative to positive electrode which
arises from dissociation of oxygen molecules on the negative
electrode. An oxygen discharge chamber is provided on the
positive electrode to discharge the oxygen molecules from outside
the positive electrode, thereby eliminating an error of a sensor
output caused by a stay of the oxygen molecules around the
positive electrode.

Abstract: A receiver/decoder (2000) is disclosed comprising a host processor (2002), a co-processor
(2004) and a communication channel (2006) for communication between the
host processor and the co-processor. By providing two separate processors within the
receiver/decoder, greater processing power and flexibility is provided. Preferably, the
receiver/decoder further comprises a device, and the co-processor is adapted to run a
low-level software process which manages the device. Preferably, the host processor is
adapted to run a high-level application adapted to generate a control message, and the
communication channel is adapted to transmit the control message from the host
processor to the co-processor. By separating the internal functions of the
receiver/decoder into high level applications and low level device management and
providing the functionality on separate processors, greater independence from the low
level aspects of the receiver/decoder can be provided to the applications.

Abstract: In a navigation apparatus, when a first detour route
for detouring part of an initial route is present and
calculation of a second detour route is instructed, a route
search processing unit (28) determines whether the ratio of
the distance of the first detour route to the total distance
to be traveled when a vehicle returns to the initial route
from the current position thereof via the first detour route
and travels to a destination exceeds a preset value. If the
ratio does not exceed the preset value, the route search
processing unit (28) increases cost of at least a link
associated with the first detour route, and searches for the
second detour route. If the ratio exceeds the preset value,
the route search processing unit (28) searches for a new
route that links the current position of the vehicle and the
destination.

Abstract: Afin de mieux comprendre l'angiogenèse des tumeurs, on a mis au point de nouvelles techniques pour isoler les cellules endothéliales (EC) et évaluer les motifs d'expression des gènes. Lorsque l'on a comparé les transcrits provenant des EC dérivés des tissus colorectaux normaux et malins aux transcrits provenant des cellules non endothéliales, on a identifié plus de 170 gènes exprimés de façon prédominante dans l'endothélium. La comparaison entre l'endothélium normal et celui dérivé des tumeurs a montré 79 gènes exprimés de façon différentielle, y compris 46 qui ont été spécifiquement élevés dans l'endothélium associé à la tumeur. Des expériences avec des gènes représentatifs de ce groupe ont montré que la plupart ont été exprimés de façon similaire dans l'endothélium du cancer primaire du poumon, du sein, du cerveau ainsi que dans des lésions métastasiques du foie. Les résultats ont montré que chez les humains l'endothélium néoplasique et celui normal se distinguent au niveau moléculaire, ce qui peut avoir une influence importante sur le développement des thérapies anti-angiogéniques de l'avenir.

Abstract: L'établissement de profil d'expression de gènes entre des plasmocytes/cellules bêta normales et des plasmocytes de myélomes multiples a révélé quatre sous groupes distincts de plasmocytes de myélomes multiples qui présentent une corrélation significative avec des caractéristiques cliniques connues pour être associées à un pronostic sombre. On a également établi des diagnostics de myélomes multiples ( et éventuellement de gammopathie monoclonale dont la signification est indéterminée) fondés sur l'expression différentielle de 14 gènes, ainsi que des pronostics pour les quatre sous groupes de myélomes multiples fondés sur l'expression de 24 gènes.
