Abstract: Disclosed are methods of producing fusion proteins including those with dual biological activities. These methods include the provision of first and second DNA sequence encoding a first and second polypeptide, respectively, the digestion of the first DNA sequence at a restriction site adjacent its 5' terminus, and the ligation of a linker/adapter sequence (1/a) to the restricted end of the first DNA sequence, thereby forming a cassette. The 1/a includes, at one end, that portion of the first DNA sequence extending from its terminus nearest the restriction site to the restriction site, and at the other end, one side of a splice site. A eucaryotic host cell is transfected with the cassette and the second DNA sequence having, at one end, one side of a splice site compatible with the side of the splice site on the 1/a. The transfected host cell is cultured to express the transfected DNA as a single chain fusion protein. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Methods and formulations are disclosed for making and purifying the 3R-3'R stereoisomer of zeaxanthin as a sole detectable isomer, in any desired quantity, for use as a drug or vitamin by humans. Zeaxanthin preparations which contain only the desired 3R-3'R stereoisomer can be produced by a strain of Flavobacterium multivorum bacterial cells (ATCC accession number 55238). These cells (and other cells transformed with their zeaxanthin-producing genes) do not create any detectable quantities of the undesired S-S or S-R isomers of zeaxanthin. The pure R-R isomer can be taken orally, either as a therapeutic drug by patients suffering from macular degeneration, or as a vitamin or nutritional supplement to reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration.

Abstract: A security device comprises a cable whose ends are engageable within a plunger. The cable is threaded around a door handle or other item to be secured and then, with the cable ends engaged therein, the plunger is slid within a housing for retention by a locking slide. Retraction of the plunger into the housing moves a slide upwardly. This movement causes a pivotally mounted striker to be flipped from one end position to another by an over-centre spring arrangement. In moving, the striker strikes a number of wheels each carrying a sequence of numbers. The wheels are rotated and a random number is displayed. If, subsequently, the plunger is released to release the cable, the wheels are struck again by the striker whereby the displayed number is changed. The number is changed again if the plunger is repositioned. The chance of the same number being randomly generated is insignificant. Thus, any opening and closing of the security device is immediately apparent because of the change in the number displayed.

Abstract: In a cellular communication system, a method and apparatus are provided for allocating a channel for use on a connection between a base station and a mobile station in a cell, without making measurements of downlink interference. Throughout the system, uplink and downlink power levels are regulated so that, within each cell, their sum changes by an amount whose magnitude is substantially equal to the magnitude of change in path gain between the mobile station and the base station in that cell, and which sum is opposite in sign to the amount of change in path gain. This power regulation scheme assures that there will be a strong correlation between system-wide measurements of uplink and downlink interferen ce. Therefore, with the power regulation scheme in place, each cell determines uplink carrier to interference (C/I) ratios for the free channels available for use in the cell and selects an acceptable free channel having a C/I value that is within a predetermined acceptable range. If uplink C/I on the acceptable free channel is greater than the uplink C/I value of a channel currently assigned to a connection, then an intra-cell handover is performed so that the connection will be reassigned to the acceptable free channel. This technique is useful for providing an adaptive channel allocation scheme to systems, such as analog cellular communications systems, in which downlink interference measurements cannot be made.

Abstract: The invention relates to the location of a radiocommunication emitter-receiver station and more particularly to the determination of the direction where stations of a radiocommunication network are located with respect to another station of the same network. In the case of stations of a network for transmission of data by packets formed of a header followed by an information field (C) at a carrier frequency which varies according to a linear ramp, one of the stations (Q) interrogates for example two other stations (R1, R2) by sending, through an omnidirectional antenna, a packet (C) with the address of the two stations and passes to a listening mode on an assembly of sectorial antennas (A1, A2, A3...) switched sequentially. The interrogated stations (R1, R2) respond through an omnidirectional antenna. Depending on which sectorial antenna, amongst a plurality of them, detects a response, the interrogator station deduces, with a certain lack of precision, the direction, of the station which has responded. Application to the estimation of the direction where a station is located.

The rotor coil (RS) and the stator coil (SS) respectively have at least one winding (WI) and there is a magnetic coupling between the rotor coil (RS) and the stator coil (SS). With an arrangement of this sort, it is possible for example to transmit measurement signals of a measurement pickup (MA) arranged on the rotor (RO) for the contactless measurement of torques. The additional acquisition of the respective angular position and/or of the respective angular speed ( omega ) of the rotor RO is enabled, without additional outlay, in that the winding (WI) of the conductor that forms the rotor coil (RS) or the stator coil (SS) is structured locally, and preferably also periodically, over the entire extent of the winding (WI) by modifications of shape and/or material, in such a way that there results a fluctuation, which is periodic if warranted, of the magnetic coupling factor (KG). The respective angular position and/or the respective angular speed ( omega ) of the rotor (RO) can be derived from the resulting fluctuations of the amplitude (AM) of a time-modulated or, respectively, frequency-modulated measurement signal, or from the resulting fluctuations of the transmitted energy.

Abstract: Steering, tensioning and driving a revolving metallic casting belt in continuous casting machines wherein the belt travels along a generally straight casting plane  P . Two two-axis robotic mechanisms are positioned at opposite ends of an exit-pulley drum, each including a "floating" housing carrying a bearing rotatably supporting a journal at the respective drum end. A drive connected to one of the journals rotates the drum for revolving the belt. The robotic mechanisms adjustably position opposite ends of a rotating drum in  X--X  plane parallel with plane  P  for tensioning the belt and in  Y--Y  plane perpendicular to plane  P  for steering the revolving belt. These robotic mechanisms are controlled to operate in any of several modes: (1) "Walking-tilt" steering keeps the belt much closer to an exiting product than prior art, the belt being flatter and in better contact with the product for improving casting speed and quality. Mode (2) provides a "virtual squaring shaft" causing a drum to simulate being constrained by a rigid mechanical squaring shaft for synchronizing downstream movements of both drum ends for regularizing tension fully across a "cylindrical" casting belt. In modes (3), (4) and (5) the rigidity of the virtual squaring shaft may be "softened," or re-zeroed or eliminated, to accommodate small "frustro-conical" errors in belt manufacture. Moreover, even a small error in built-in length dimensions of a belt carriage may effectively be canceled by mode adjustments which effectively "twist" the virtual squaring shaft.
