Abstract: This invention relates to analogues of peptides from an LPS-binding protein (LBP),
that were obtained by a.a. replacements at selected sites of the native sequence and
which express vigorous inhibitory activity upon LPS-mediated cell activation, both  in
vitro  and  in vivo . These peptide analogues exhibit advantageous properties to
ameliorate endotoxin-related disorders, specially the systemic inflammatory
response syndrome. These peptide analogues are derived from an amphipatic
domain with high density of positive charge amino acids. The present invention
define the importance of certain peptide sequences to assure the optimum
neutralizing activity and potency. These peptide analogues impaired LBP binding to
LPS and inhibit human leukocyte cytokine production induced by LPS. Additionally,
these peptides protect Actinomycin D-sensitized mice from lethal doses of LPS. This
invention also includes the use of the inhibitory peptides and related molecules in the
treatment of endotoxin-associated disorders, pharmaceutical compositions
containing the peptide analogues and derivatives, diagnostic methods utilizing the
peptides of the invention.

Abstract: In a foreground/background discriminating circuit which discriminates on the basis
of focusing, a leading edge of a boundary portion is detected from a video signal and
a parallax control signal is outputted on the basis of the detected leading edge.
Similarly, in foreground/background discriminating circuits which discriminate on
the basis of color differences and by a luminance, a chroma component and a
luminance component of the video signal are detected and parallax control signals
are generated on the basis of the detected chroma and luminance components,
respectively. In a multiplier, the parallax control signals generated from the
foreground/background discriminating circuits are multiplied. In a parallax limiting
circuit, a delay amount control signal for a left video signal and a delay amount
control signal for a right video signal are formed in a manner such that a binocular
parallax amount lies within a predetermined value and within a range of an amount
such that the existence of the parallax is recognized clearly.

Abstract: A system and method for testing the conformance of a universal serial bus (USB)
system to a set of predefined USB Specifications. One embodiment of the system
comprises a test system that can be used to determine whether a selected USB device
provides appropriate data in response to a set of standard device requests. In another
embodiment, the test system performs a series of tests to validate the interface functions
of a USB driver. The system can test the device responses without having to create or
compile a test program. The test system comprises a test application and a test
application driver. The test application driver interfaces with the USB driver of the USB
system software. The USB system software also includes a host controller driver. The
host controller driver interfaces with the host controller and thereby interfaces the
software on the host system with the USB interconnect and USB devices. In one
embodiment, the test system incorporates a command line interpreter through which a
user can enter commands to perform selected tests on the USB system. The command
line interpreter enables the user to execute commands in an operating system (e.g., Unix)
shell without having to interrupt a USB testing or debugging session. The user may also
enter commands and perform USB system testing remotely via a communications link
between the user and the system's host computer.

Abstract: By displaying the video signal in the display unit only, the
detecting intensity of signal stored actually in the memory (signal
storing means) is not known, and it is difficult to adjust the
appropriate irradiation illuminance and lens, and it is hence an
object to present an optical information reader and an optical
information reading system capable of expressing the detecting
intensity as waveform in the display unit. 
     The data of the specified line is picked up (step 11), and
transformed into waveform of detecting intensity, and shown in the
display unit (step 12).

Abstract: Imageable articles comprising positive working
polymeric coatings on substrates are given a heat
treatment as part of their manufacture, notably at a
moderate temperature for an extended period. This heat
treatment improves the development characteristics of the
coatings in use. It has been found that by carrying out
the heat treatment on articles wrapped in a
water-impermeable material or in a humidity-enhanced oven,
development characteristics may be further improved,
especially adjacent to the edges of articles. The
imageable articles include precursors for lithographic
printing plates and for printed circuits.

Abstract: A method and apparatus (10) is provided for efficiently regenerating an
incoming data signal at a sampling point which is continually optimized
independently of the regeneration process. While the incoming data signal is
being regenerated in a regeneration unit (14), a monitoring unit (12) is used for
concurrently optimizing the slicing threshold and sampling phase used in the
regeneration unit (14) without disturbing the on-going data regeneration. A
master-slave arrangement is used to regenerate the incoming data signal
whereby the regenerating unit (14) is updated with a new slicing threshold and
sampling phase only after the new slicing threshold and sampling phase are
fully optimized by the monitoring unit (12). In this way, the data regeneration
can proceed unaffected by the optimization of the slicing threshold and
sampling phase which, as a result can be continuously optimized without
inducing any errors into the regenerated data.

Abstract: At the loom for weaving terry fabrics, the band of pile warp yarns (15) is led over a deflection (26) to form a pile warp reserve in front of the intersection point with the band of ground warps (1), in the direction of travel. The pile yarn deflection compensates for the yarn length on forming the pile loops and/or as the shed changes. The terry fabric loom has a deflector (22) for the pile warps at the opposite side of the ground warps to the pile warp feed (16,17), as at least one rotating deflection linkage rod with a number of support mountings across the loom width, with spring pliability and adjustment. The band of pile warps form an obtuse angle (29) with the ground warps where they intersect, in the direction of travel. Or they can meet at an acute angle The bands of pile warps and ground warps have separate warp monitors (18,30) on separate planes, accessible freely from the side of the loom. At least the pile warp monitor is on a horizontal plane (34). The pile warp reserve length is formed by at least one sprung deflection shaft or deflection plate. The deflector can be on an axial shaft, with a keyed support lever (24). The shaft has a drive to give a freely programmed setting movement using a reversible electromotor, or a rotating cam disk acting on a cam follower (38).
