Abstract: Substantially pure conotoxins are provided which inhibit synaptic transmissions at
the neuromuscular junctions and which are useful both  in vivo  and in assays
because they specifically target particular receptors, such as the acetylcholine
receptor, and ion channels. The peptides are of such length that they can be
made by chemical synthesis. They also may be made using recombinant DNA
techniques, and the DNA encoding such conotoxins having pesticidal properties
can be incorporated as plant defence genes into plant species of interest.

Abstract: The method operates in transmit mode an array antenna
system including a plurality of antenna elements (1-N) so that
the signal radiated from the antenna has a desired antenna
radiation pattern, by :
   calculating, for each array element, the required pre-perturbed
incident excitation (a i ) to compensate for the effects of
mutual coupling with the other elements of the array, whereas, the
required pre-perturbed incident excitation (a i ) for an array
element generates, after mutual coupling, a
resultant desired voltage (v i ) on the array element which, in
combination with the other compensated elements of the array,
produces the desired antenna radiation pattern, and   applying to each element of the array, the calculated pre-perturbed
incident excitation (a i ) for said element.

Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed wherein
a gas collision cell is repeatedly switched between a
fragmentation and a non-fragmentation mode. Parent ions
from a first sample are passed through the collision
cell and parent ion mass spectra and fragmentation ion
mass spectra are obtained. Parent ions from a second
sample are then passed through the collision cell and a
second set of parent ion mass spectra and fragmentation
ion mass spectra are obtained. The mass spectra are
then compared and if either certain parent ions or
certain fragmentation ions in the two samples are
expressed differently then further analysis is performed
to seek to identify the ions which are expressed
differently in the two different samples.

Abstract: To provide a hand position detecting device capable
of suppressing the rotation of hand wheels necessary to detect
the initial positions of the hand wheels to a minimum, also,
an electronic timepiece provided with this device. In a hand
position detecting device of a hand position setting device
of an electronic timepiece, light from a light-emitting device
is made to obliquely hit a reflective surface on an hour wheel
via an aperture for passage of incident light when a minute
wheel and the hour wheel reach given positions, the aperture
being in the minute wheel. Reflected light Br produced by
oblique reflection of the incident light at the reflective
surface is detected by a light-receiving device via an aperture
for passage of reflected light, the aperture being in the
minute wheel. The hour wheel has the plural reflective surfaces
placed at different angular intervals such that the
light-receiving device receives the reflected light even when
the hour wheel is in plural intermediate rotational positions
other than a given position. The reflection may be vertical
reflection instead of oblique reflection. Instead of reflected
light, a transmitted hole may be detected.

Abstract: A method of perceptual 3-dimensional (3D) shape description and a method
and apparatus for searching a perceptual 3D graphics model database established
using the description method are provided. The description method includes:
generating nodes that respectively correspond to parts of a part-based
representation of a 3D shape model, the nodes including unary attributes of the
parts; generating edges that include relational attributes between the nodes; and
generating an attributed relational graph of the 3D shape model that is comprised of
the nodes and the edges. The search method includes: receiving a predetermined
3D graphics model; transforming the received 3D graphics model into a perceptual
3D shape descriptor; and comparing the perceptual 3D shape descriptor with each of
the perceptual 3D graphics models stored in the database to retrieve the 3D graphic
models that are similar to the perceptual 3D shape descriptor. The searching
apparatus includes: a query input unit that receives a query that is a 3D graphics
model; a model/shape descriptor transforming unit that transforms the 3D graphic
model received as the query into a perceptual 3D shape descriptor; a matching unit
that compares the perceptual 3D shape descriptor with each of the perceptual 3D
graphics models stored in the database to retrieve the models that are similar to the
perceptual 3D shape descriptor; and a model output unit that outputs the retrieved
model. A query by sketch or a query by editing is available, and the models that are
similar to a query can be more accurately retrieved due to a double earth mover's
distance method used to match query and model graphs.
