Abstract: The present invention enables the calling party to register multiple addresses of frequently called parties with a packet-switched network service provider, e.g., a VoIP network service provider, and have the network dials through the numbers on behalf of the calling party until the called party is reached or the list of available phone numbers has been exhausted. Optionally, the network can intersperse each call by asking the calling party if he or she wants to dial a particular phone number of the called party from the list of available phone numbers, and the network can dial the selected phone number.

Abstract: The invention provides methods of designing oligo- or polynucleotide
sequences, preferably shRNA, for achieving RNA interference. The invention
further extends to such oligo- or polynucleotides for achieving RNA interference
comprising a sense sequence, a trimming sequence and an antisense sequence. 
     In an example, the sense sequence is homologous to a part of a sequence of a
target gene wherein the base of the terminal nucleotide at the 5' end is guanine, and
the base of the terminal nucleotide at the 3' end is adenine, thymine, or uracil, the
antisense sequence is complementary to the sense sequence and the 7-bp-long region
at its 5' terminal is rich in at least one base selected from the group consisting of
adenine, thymine, and uracil, and the trimming sequence comprises 5 to 52
nucleotides and is represented by the formula: (G or C)-X-Y-Z-(C or G) wherein the
sense sequence, the trimming sequence, and the antisense sequence are consecutive,
and this consecutive sequence does not comprise four or more consecutive
nucleotides with thymine and/or uracil bases.

Abstract: The invention relates to a new class of ruthenium (II) complexes containing as ligands 2-(aminomethyl)pyridines and phosphines, proven to be extremely active catalysts in the reduction of ketones to alcohols via hydrogen transfer. By using 2-propanol as the hydrogen source with the ruthenium complexes, high yields of the corresponding alcohol can be rapidly obtained starting from linear and cyclic alkyl aryl, dialkyl and diaryl ketones. The conversion of ketones to alcohols can reach 100% if operating in a gaseous hydrogen atmosphere (2-3 atm). Where the phosphines used are optically active, starting from prochiral ketone compounds various types of optically active alcohols can be produced, being important intermediates in the pharmaceutical industry, in the agrochemical industry and for fine chemicals generally.

Abstract: In order to analyse an information signal, a significant short-time spectrum is extracted from the information signal. The extraction device (16) is embodied in such a way as to extract the short-time spectra which come closer to a specific characteristic than other short-time spectra of the information signal. The extracted short-time spectra are then decomposed (18) into component signals, by ICA analysis, a component signal spectrum representing a profile spectrum of a sound source which generates a sound corresponding to the required characteristic. An amplitude envelope is calculated (20) for each profile spectrum from a series of short-time spectra of the information signal and from the determined profile spectra, said envelope indicating how the profile spectrum of a sound source generally varies over time. The profile spectra and associated amplitude envelopes describe the information signal that can be further evaluated, e.g. for the purposes of a transcription in the case of a music signal.

Abstract: When the pressure in the main oil supply channel 9 is lower than the no-load operation start pressure, the pressurized oil within the secondary oil supply channel 10 passes through the internal flow channel 21 of the spool 20 and flows into the main oil supply channel 9. At this time oil output from both the main and secondary oil pumps 7, 8 is merged and supplied to the oil supply destination OB. When the pressure within the main oil supply channel 9 rises and reaches the no-load operation start pressure, the spool 20 moves in opposite direction to the direction of the force of the spring 30, the pressurized oil within the secondary oil supply channel 10 is drained, the poppet 40 contacts the spool 20 and blocks the internal flow channel 21 of the spool 20. At this time, the secondary oil pump 8 enters the no-load operation state, and oil output from the main oil pump 7 only is transmitted to the oil supply destination OB.
