Abstract: The present invention provides four common polymorphisms in the gene encoding
the ATP-binding cassette transporter-1 ( ABC1 ), which are associated with decreased
ApoA-I mediated efflux of cholesterol, the first step of reverse cholesterol transport.
The provided data can be taken as evidence that common polymorphisms in  ABC1 
directly affect cellular lipid homeostasis, which is a key factor in the atherogenetic
process. The frequencies of three of the common  ABC1  variants are significantly
increased in a population of men having low HDL-C levels and established CHD
relative to CHD-free control subjects. The use of the provided ABC1 polymorphisms
for the diagnosis and treatment of lipid disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and
inflammatory diseases like psoriasis and lupus erythematodes is claimed.

Abstract: An automatic transaction system which enables payment in multiple currencies
for the dispensing of a product or the providing of a service. In one embodiment, the
automatic transaction system performs a conversion of payment deposited in
currencies to credit amounts in the base currency to facilitate payment of any change
due in denominations of the base currency. The conversion technique employed by
one embodiment of the system translates the value of the denominations of a deposited
second currency to a value in the base currency using an exchange rate. The
translated value is then rounded down to the nearest multiple of an increment of the
base currency accepted by the system. In other embodiment, the system performs
conversion of deposited currencies to a reference currency while paying change in the
base currency.

Abstract: An impact sensing system for a powered roll-up door combines an electrical switch and a breakaway coupling. To avoid damage or injury resulting from the door's roll-up curtain accidentally closing upon an obstacle or something striking the curtain, the breakaway coupling responds to such a collision by breaking away, which releases a lower portion of the curtain from between its two vertical guide tracks. Each breakaway coupling includes a set of electrical contacts that make or break in response to the coupling breaking away. When the curtain's lower portion becomes effectively derailed from its guide track, the electrical contacts disable continued operation of the door to prevent the door's drive motor from jamming the curtain. In some embodiments, the breakaway coupling is releasably held together by way of magnetic attraction between two coupling segments, with one electrical contact on each segment to comprise one set of functional contacts.

Abstract: A sample holder is described, for use in centrifugal evaporators, which permits accelerated evaporation of solvents from samples while ensuring that samples from which evaporation is complete are not damaged by overheating. The sample holder is radiantly heated and has sample containers mounted either directly in it, or in intermediate holders themselves mounted in it. The sample holder imparts heat to the samples and has a cross-sectional area chosen such that no appreciable temperature gradient exists between the radiantly or otherwise heated surfaces of the holder and the sample containers. The sample containers are mounted in the holder at an angle between 35° and 65° to the vertical and orientated such that centrifugal force tends to retain the sample material in the containers. The sample holder may be combined with other holders in a stack, the joints between adjacent holders in the stack being adapted to minimize the temperature difference across them.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'ouverture numérique du substrat (qui est égale à nsinυ), est supérieure à 1, ce qui se traduit par un diamètre de point à haute résolution frappant le matériau source de photocathode sur la surface lointaine. L'énergie incidente provenant du faisceau laser produit un faisceau électronique correspondant à haute résolution (405) à partir du matériau source de photocathode. Les éléments constitutifs de lentille électromagnétique sont disposés en aval dans la colonne de faisceaux électroniques de manière à réduire la taille du faisceau électronique.

Title: Method, device and system for biometrically authenticating a person
Inventor: MOEDL ALBERT
IPC: G06V10/70
Filed: 2000-07-25
Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for biometric authentication of a person are proposed. Since the detection of biometric data never matches 100 percent, authentication is already effected when the detected data exceed a defined threshold value in comparison to stored reference data. In order to increase security, the invention provides that information about the person's individual properties influencing the biometric data is stored and taken into account in the authentication process. For example, the threshold value is set low upon comparison of a fingerprint only if the person has exceptionally dry or moist skin. On the other hand, the sensor for detecting the biometric data of the fingerprint can also be set to be more sensitive or less sensitive depending on the stored information.
