Patent EP-1168530-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MIYAKAWA TAKAYUKI
IPC: H01S3/06
Filed: 2001-06-21
Abstract: The object of this invention is to improve SNR in the Raman amplification. An optical fiber (10) consists of a dispersion shift fiber in which a zero dispersion wavelength is shifted to the 1.55 µm band, and an optical fiber (12) consists of a single mode optical fiber having the effective core area of 100 µm 2  which is larger than that of the optical fiber (10). An optical coupler 14 is disposed at the optical signal emission end of the optical fiber (12). A laser diode (16) outputs the laser light of 1455 nm as a Raman pumping light source. The output light from the laser diode (16) is introduced into the optical fiber (12) from the back, namely in the opposite direction to that of the optical signal propagation. The ratio of the Raman gain coefficient of the optical fiber (12) to that of the optical fiber (11) should be 1/1.08 or less, preferably 1/1.1 or less.

Abstract: A simulator comprising computer-aided design programs for simulating
a shift control algorithm stored in an ECU of an automatic transmission having
hydraulic clutches. In the simulator, a simplified hydraulic describing the behavior of
the clutch is designed and is incorporated with a model describing the entire system so
as to design a third model based on which simulation is conducted. With this, by using
such a simplified model, it becomes possible to decrease simulation time to 4 sec.,
enabling to simulation in a time close to an actual shift of approximately 1.5 sec.
Moreover, the durability of transmission is tested by repeating the simulation. When
the occurrence of undesirable shift phenomenon is forecast in the simulation, the shift
control algorithm is corrected until the phenomenon disappears in the next simulation.
With this, the manufacturing of a test transmission and a preliminary test are no longer
needed, thereby further improving the efficiency and costs of transmission
development.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of inhibiting neoplastic cellular proliferation and/or transformation of mammalian cells, including cells of human origin, in vitro or in vivo. The inventive method involves the use of a pituitary tumor transforming gene carboxy-terminal peptide (PTTG-C), which has the ability to regulate endogenous pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG) expression and/or function in a dominant negative manner. In some embodiments, the invention is directed to gene-based treatments that deliver PTTG-C-related polynucleotides to mammalian cells, whether in vitro or in vivo, to inhibit the endogenous expression of PTTG. Other embodiments are directed to peptide-based treatments that deliver PTTG-C peptide molecules to the cells, which inhibit endogenous PTTG expression and/or PTTG function. The method can also enhance the effectiveness of cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents conventioanlly used to treat breast or ovarian cancers, thus allowing lower effective doses of the agents to be administered. Also disclosed are compositions useful for inhibiting neoplastic cellular proliferation and/or transformation and tumor angiogenesis, including compositions comprising a PTTG carboxy-terminal peptide or comprising a chimeric or fusion protein that contains a first PTTG carboxy-terminal peptide segment and a second cellular uptake-enhancing and/or importation-competent peptide segment. Also disclosed are compositions comprising a PTTG carboxy-terminal-related polynucleotide, including compositions comprising expression vectors containing the PTTG-C-related polynucleotides. Kits comprising the inventive compositions are also disclosed for the treatment of neoplastic cellular proliferation in vitro or in vivo. Isolated PTTG-C peptides and PTTG-C-related polynucleotides are also disclosed, as are anti-PTTG-C-specific antibodies.
