Abstract: L'invention décrit un nouveau gène de l'homme régulé par la progestine, et appelé EDD (E3 isolé par affichage différentiel). Ce gène code un produit présentant une identité séquence d'acide aminé importante avec la protéine HYD (disques hyperplastiques) à partir du Drosophila melanogaster et la protéine du domaine 100 kDa HECT (homologue de l'extrémité carboxylique E6-AP) du rat. Le gène EDD semble représenter un gène de suppression de tumeurs et la détection d'un polymorphisme ou d'une altération du gène d'un sujet peut être utile pour diagnostiquer ou déterminer une prédisposition à une maladie hyperproliférative comme un cancer. L'invention traite aussi d'une méthode d'analyse permettant d'évaluer la réponse à la progestine chez un sujet.

Abstract: A device for retracting edges of an incision in a surface to form an opening including: a flexible, tubular skirt having an upper end, a lower end, and a channel therebetween; a ring connected to the lower end of the skirt for maintaining the lower end in an open configuration and defining an exit opening to the channel; and an inflatable collar connected to the skirt and surrounding the upper end. The ring is designed to fit through the incision and remain under the surface when it is oriented parallel to the surface. The collar, when inflated, maintains the upper end in an open configuration and defines an entry opening to the channel. During use, the ring is inserted through the incision and the collar is inflated while remaining outside of the incision, thereby drawing the skirt against the edges of the incision and retracting the edges of the incision to form the opening. The retracting device can be included in a surgical access port, which further includes a flexible sleeve connected to at least one of the inflatable collar and the skirt, extending the channel from the exit opening of the skirt to an open end of the flexible sleeve distal to the skirt. The device can include a light source in the vicinity of the exit opening.

Abstract: A mold bushing (10) having a one-piece body member (30) with a central passageway (60) for a shut-off gate pin member (50) and a separate and distinct passageway for injecting molten plastic material into a mold cavity (16). A tip member (32) is positioned on the end of the body member and has a material discharge chamber (38). A gate or orifice (56) opened and closed by the pin member is positioned either in the tip member or the mold (12). A wear bushing (34) is positioned in the discharge chamber or the end of the body member and acts to support the end of the pin member and prevent the flow of plastic material into the central passageway. The body member is heated by an annular cast member (42). The wear bushing member can be indexed for proper positioning relative to the body member and the plastic flow passageway.

Abstract: An annular gap injector, more particularly, for one or more injector steps, for cleaning dust filters during waste gas purification is improved in such a way that it can be controlled without any valve controls on the admission of the cleaning gas to purify filter elements, whereby the annular gap injectors can be activated individually in a purification device depending on the amount of particles adhered to the associated filter elements leading to an almost continuos removal of the particles from the purification device without disrupting the processing facility upstream. To this end, a blocking element, e.g. a circular ring membrane (4) or a valve is mounted on the channel (14), said valve blocking the passage of the cleaning gas to the annular gap (13) and, if required, releasing the passage of the cleaning gas via the annular gap (13) to the outflow.

Abstract: New services and/or new subscribers are efficiently and flexibly defined and added to a mobile communications network using service groups and service group identifiers. One or more groups of mobile subscribers are defined, and a group identifier is assigned to each member of the group. One or more services are established for the group of mobile subscribers and are associated with the group identifier. In particular, the group identifier links each member of the group with the established services. Using this service group approach, existing mobile communications system nodes are readily updated with new service and subscriber information. Likewise, subscriber service information may be easily restored to corrupted mobile databases. Advantageously, the signaling and time required to perform location update procedures as mobile units move between different location areas in a mobile communications system are considerably reduced.

Abstract: A method for wavelength-selective mixing and/or distribution of polychromatic light. When mixing polychromatic light, lights having only one wavelength are successively fed to each member of a selective chain to form a partial spectrum, and when distributing chromatic light, one wavelength is filtered out of each member and the remaining spectrum is fed after reflection to the next member for being further decomposed. A chain of photonic crystals is used both for mixing and distributing and a wavelength-selective coupler/decoupler is associated to each crystal. Fields of application include the wavelength-selective mixture or distribution of polychromatic light and spectrometric measurements and environment monitoring.
