Title: Inhibition of tumor cell growth by administration of B7-transfected cells.
Inventor: CHEN LIEPING
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 1993-10-01
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of inhibiting tumor cell growth. Tumor cells from a pateint are recombinantly engineered to express the B7 surface protein and these cells are then readminsistered to the pateint. The presence of the B7 molecule on the tumor cell surface stimulates a broad immunologic response against both the B7-transfected and non-transfected tumor cells and results in the immunologic killing of localized and metastatic tumor cells. B7 transfection of the tumor cells, or cell membranes, serves as a stimulant to engender a potent immunologic response against the surface antigens present on the tumor cells. <IMAGE>

Title: Microbial process for the preparation of dihydroxyacetone.
Inventor: OHREM HANS-LEONARD
IPC: C12P7/26
Filed: 1994-11-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a microbial process for the preparation of dihydroxyacetone in which the conversion of glycerol to dihydroxyacetone is carried out with the aid of a microorganism which has dehydrogenase activity at a pH between 3.8 and 4.8, preferably 4.2, which is kept constant by adding calcium hydroxide suspension. In a preferred embodiment, the glycerol content is kept constant at 1-3% by feeding in.
Patent EP-0644513-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MANDELBAUM RICHARD
IPC: H04W12/06
Filed: 1994-09-07
Abstract: A smartcard that allows different Service Providers to coexist on the smartcard
with none of the Service Providers, nor the owner of the smartcard, having access to the
files created for, or by, each of the resident Service Providers. The operating system of
the smartcard includes a root directory that is owned by the smartcard's issuer/owner, and
each Service Provider is a "user" that is installed by the issuer/owner. Each such user is
provided with a subdirectory of the root directory, and within the subdirectory the user
creates files and subdirectories with files, as the user deems necessary. The operating
system prevents all users of the smartcard, including the smartcard's issuer/owner and the
smartcard's holder, from accessing any files that are owned by any other user, when that
user chooses to prevent such access. This power to exclude is effected through a
password file that is owned by the user and which cannot be altered by any other user,
including the smartcard's issuer/owner. Optionally, the smartcard's issuer/owner is given
the power to erase all files of a given user. Connection is effected with a protocol which
authenticates all parties to the connection. Thus, in a connection between the smartcard
and a user, the smartcard determines whether the user should be granted access, and the
user determines whether the smartcard is a valid smartcard. Authentication of the
possessor of the smartcard may also be effected.

Title: Dry shaving apparatus.
Inventor: WETZEL MATTHIAS
IPC: B26B19/10
Filed: 1992-12-18

IPC: G06K7/14
Filed: 1995-10-27
Abstract: A scanner determines whether a target is a bar code
symbol and, if so, whether that symbol is one-dimensional
or two-dimensional. For two-dimensional symbols, the
scanner aligns a scanning pattern with the symbol and
expands the scanning pattern to reach only to the top and
bottom edges of the symbol, not beyond. The scanner also
has a microprocessor-control scanning engine that uses a
coil to drive a scanning element and pick up feed back
signals from the scanning element. A pulse-width-modulated
regulator also provides fast and efficient operation for
driving the coil. The scanning engine can also be designed
to generate a pattern that precesses across the target, and
a powerful interface to the scanning engine allows decoding
and control logic to work efficiently with and
independently of the scan engine.

Title: Interrupt controllers in symmetrical multiprocessing systems.
Inventor: GEPHARDT DOUGLAS
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 1995-05-17
Abstract: A symmetrical multiprocessing system is provided that includes centralized interrupt control unit. The interrupt control unit is coupled to a plurality of processing units and to a plurality of interrupt sources. The interrupt control unit advantageously allows for the expansion of each interrupt pin by setting the interrupt control unit in a cascade mode. Furthermore, the central control unit is responsive to specialized interrupt cycles which allows I/O devices and/or bus bridge devices to initiate of an interrupt without requiring a dedicated interrupt line. The central interrupt control unit further allows each interrupt to be prioritized independently of its associated vector ID, and prevents the occurrence of spurious interrupts by providing a programmable latency timer which causes the central interrupt control unit to delay its response to End Of Interrupt (EOI) instructions. An auto-chaining technique is further implemented by the central interrupt control unit to sequentially provide broadcast interrupts to various processing units based on their current task priority values. Finally, the central interrupt control unit further handles system management interrupts (SMIs) from sources such as power management units and ensures proper system operation even if the requested system management function affects operations being carried by other processing units. <IMAGE>

IPC: H04N1/00
Filed: 1996-12-20
Abstract: In an image-forming system, when the user inputs an
instruction for image processing to an input section in a
digital copying machine, the control section of the digital
copying machine outputs image information of a document to
a host computer. The host computer carries out a
predetermined image process on the inputted image
information, and outputs the processed image information to
the digital copying machine through a transferring device.
The control section of the digital copying machine supplies
the processed image information to an image-recording
section, and the image-recording section forms a visual
image based on the image information. With this
arrangement, merely by installing necessary processing
functions in the host computer, it becomes possible to
eliminate the need for purchasing a new digital copying
machine to replace the older one with relatively outdated
functions, and also to reduce the burden on users on an
economic basis.

Abstract: Dishwashing machine with a spraying device (11) of the 
hydraulic whirler type forming two separate manifolds 
(17, 18), each provided with spraying nozzles (21, .. 26, 
31, .. 36) which travel along separate spraying paths, 
the two manifolds (17, 18) being selectively fed in such 
a manner that the combined feeding of the two manifolds 
by a pump (4) makes it possible to achieve a high 
spraying flow rate with low-energy spraying jets and the 
selective feeding of only one of the two manifolds makes 
it possible to obtain spraying jets with high kinetic 
energy, although of lower cumulative flow rate: the 
selective feeding of one or the other collector, at 
different times, makes it possible to double the number 
of spraying paths and to obtain a variable orientation of 
the jets, with a washing action which is more extensive 
and penetrating as a result of the direct exposure to the 
spraying jets of the entire surface of the load to be 
washed, yet with a minimal volume of water in 
circulation.

Abstract: An encoded marker is transmitted as a paging signal for mobile satellite telephones.
The signal is susceptible to Doppler effects, and the processing procedures are
arranged to determine the Doppler characteristics of subsequent signals. The
marker takes the form of a first frequency sweep occurring in a first direction
followed by a second frequency sweep occurring in the opposite direction. The
markers are correlated against sweep signatures to produce amplitude peaks. The
mid-point between the peaks and the spacing between the peaks allows timing
offsets and frequency shifts to be accurately calculated, thereby facilitating the
processing of subsequent data signals.

determined by using a hash function (h) whose output
value is shorter than that of the first hash function
(H), and the digital signature is generated by using the

satisfying the condition that e = H(M) is determined, and
for a numerical value (x) obtained from arithmetic
operation of a public key (Q), a base point (P) and the
