Abstract: Human interferon-beta 2A  and interferon-beta 2B  are produced in purified
form by recombinant DNA techniques. Two separate human genes have
been identified which code for the production of IFN-β 2A  and IFN-β 2B ,
respectively. The sequence of IFN-β 2A  cDNA is established. These
genes and cDNA have been cloned into mammalian cells with an SV40
early promoter sequence and such genomic clones are capable of producing
IFN-β 2A  and IFN-β 2B . The antiviral activity of such
recombinant IFN-β 2A  and IFN-β 2B  is demonstrated as well as other
biological activity identifying them as human interferons. It has been
shown that IFN-β 2  secretion is induced in human cells by growth-stimulatory
cytokines. 
     IFN-β 2A  may be used as a medicament for influencing cell growth and differentiation.
IFN-β 2A  may also be useful during terminal differentiation of cancer cells.

Abstract: An optical modulator/optical switch is disclosed. The modulator/switch
includes a reflective zone plate defined in a movable zone plate support. The
reflective zone plate focuses an optical signal reflected therefrom. In response to a
control signal, a controlled voltage source applies a voltage across the movable zone
plate support and a layer spaced from the zone plate support. The applied voltage
generates an electrostatic force that causes the zone plate support to move towards the
other layer. When the zone plate support moves, the reflective zone plate's orientation
to an optical signal incident thereon changes. Such a change in orientation alters the
path of the optical signal reflected from the reflective zone plate. The reflected optical
signal can be directed to different receiving waveguides by changing the amplitude of
the applied voltage.

Abstract: A method for mitigating or eliminating a halo effect in a printer when black objects are
adjacent color objects is described herein. In a full color xerographic printer, particularly an image on
image printer in which full color composite images are imaged and developed in a single pass
through the xerographic system, an image processing method is described to reduce or eliminate the
halo effect. When a black object is to be placed adjacent a colored object (e.g. black text on a
magenta background) a determination is made to locate the boundary between the black and the
colorant. The black pixels immediately adjacent the colored objects are created using process black
(a combination of cyan, magenta and yellow colorants) while the central and other black areas not
adjacent a colored object are created using black toner only. Various half bitting approaches are
used to balance the trade off between edge sharpness and elimination of halo effect.
