Abstract: This invention provides methods for the stable introduction of heterologous coding sequences into the genome of a bird and expressing the coding sequences to produce desired proteins or to alter the phenotype of the bird. The present invention provides preferred methods for introducing a transgene into the cytoplasm of avian embryonic cells by cytoplasmic microinjection. The embryo then develops into a transgenic adult capable of expressing a heterologous protein and/or capable of generating a line of transgenic birds through breeding. Synthetic vectors and gene promoters useful in the methods are also provided by the present invention, as are transgenic birds that express heterologous protein and avian eggs containing heterologous protein.

Abstract: An arrangement for certifying and checking gem stones ( 12 ) and other valuables comprises an electron microscope ( 11 ) controlled by a computer ( 1 ) and arranged to acquire digitised electron micrographs of characteristic regions of the gem stone or other valuable, particularly the culet ( 13 ) or girdle ( 14 ) which are typically highly irregular and therefore highly characteristic of individual stones. The digitised electron micrographs are encrypted and written to an RFID ( 7 ) which can be embedded in a plastics certificate ( 10 ) of in some cases a concealed on the valuable itself. Any tampering with the gem stone ( 12 ) or other valuable can be detected by reading the stored micrographs in the tag ( 7 ) and comparing them with micrographs newly acquired from the gem stone ( 12 ) or valuable as presented for verification. For extra security, the digitised encrypted micrographs are also stored in a remote database which can also include transaction data and can be linked to a credit card database of a financial institution.

Abstract: An extensible central processing unit (CPU) (12 or 12'). By modifying
the architecture of a new or prior art CPU, a new or prior art CPU can be
made extensible so that new instructions can be added in a simple and cost
effective manner to meet differing customer needs. The term "extensible" in
regard to a CPU is used to mean that new instructions can be added to the
CPU simply by adding certain designated circuitry, without the need to
significantly change the existing CPU circuitry. In some embodiments, the
additional designated circuitry may include control circuitry in the form of CPU

Abstract: Method of adjustment of a receiver of signals transmitted in bursts in a
system where the communications are set up within the context of
successive frames comprising slots allocatable to the transmitters for
their communications with the receivers. The adjustment of at least one
characteristic of the receiver allows it to adapt upon the arrival of the
bursts, by taking account of at least one reinitialization parameter for a
first burst or adjustment parameter computed by a computation unit (4)
from the preamble of the burst currently being received. 
At least one specified adjustment parameter is determined by a
computation unit (4), for a new burst of a communication, by taking into
account the part of the signal corresponding to the payload of the burst
previously received for this communication, if the new burst is separated
from this previously received burst only by a time which is less than a
silence threshold value.

Abstract: A monitoring system for monitoring a first parameter includes an
active sensor (14), a receiver (20) and an indicator (80). The active sensor (14) is positioned at a
first location and is operable to sense the first parameter. The receiver (20) is
positioned at a second location remote from the first location and within proximity
to the sensor. The receiver is operable to generate a signal indicative of the first
parameter and includes an inductor, and an amplifier having a feedback path.
The inductor is positioned relative to the receiver to create an electromagnetically
coupling between the inductors such that feedback from the coupling is one of
either a substantially zero feedback and a negative feedback. The indicator is in
communication with the receiver to provide the first parameter to the user. This
parameter may include a tire pressure of a tire on a vehicle. The monitoring
system further includes a node in communication with the receiver and in
communication with the indicator to provide electrical communication between
the indicator and the receiver.

Abstract: In an electronic timepiece having a power saving mode,
to prevent a situation in which a long period of time is needed
for confirming a measured time period from being brought about.
A mode control portion outputs a power saving processing signal
to a display driving portion when an operating portion is not
being operated for a predetermined time period in a state in
which a chronograph measuring portion is not operated to measure
a time period and a display driving portion erases display of
a display portion to constitute a power saving mode. When the
chronograph measuring portion carries out time measuring
operation, the mode control portion prohibits the operation
from being shifted to the power saving mode even when a
nonoperational time period of the operating portion has elapsed
the predetermined time period and therefore, a measured time
period measured by the chronograph measuring portion is
displayed at the display portion.

Inventor: EPSTEIN MICHAEL A
IPC: G06F21/10
Filed: 2003-02-20
Abstract: A method and system (200) that prevents wide-scale distribution of content material relies upon the use of a copy-protection signal that is associated with the content material. A compliant device (230, 240) is configured to enforce appropriate copy-protection safeguards based on the presence or absence of the copy-protection signal. If a compliant device produces a copy of the copy-protected material, the compliant device is configured to assure that the copy-protection signal is contained within the produced copy and in subsequent retransmissions and rerecordings in a local environment. To prevent wide-scale distribution of copy-protected material, compliant devices are configured to prevent communication of the copy-protected material to wide-area networks (270), such as the Internet. Because the compliant devices are configured to maintain the copy-protection signal, and to control the distribution of material that contains this signal, the wide-scale distribution of protected content material is avoided. Because the protection provided is limited to preventing wide-scale distribution, adverse consumer reactions to the imposed use of a copy-protection scheme are minimized.

Dieses Verfahren weist folgende Schritte auf: zum Schneiden wird eine Laserstrahlung verwendet, bei der mittels eines Impulses mit bestimmten Parametern solche Bedingungen geschaffen werden können, die einen Durchbruch des Materials aufgrund einer Stoß- und Multiphotonenionisation ermöglichen. Infolgedessen wird ein Defekt von sehr geringer Größe geschaffen (dieser Defekt ist der Größe der Gittergrenze ähnlich). Die Wahl des Abstands zwischen den Durchbruchspunkten ermöglicht praktisch eine Übereinstimmung der Laserimpulsenergie mit der Energie, die für Bildung eines Spalts zwischen den zwei Durchbruchpunkten nötig ist. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of and kits for constructing and/or labeling polynucleotides is described, involving ligation of two or more oligonucleotides in the presence of a scaffold oligonucleotide complementary or partly complementary to the oligonucleotides to be ligated. No full-length polynucleotide template is required. Ligation may be performed under conditions that do not allow stable duplexes to form between the scaffold oligonucleotide and at least one of the oligonucleotides to be ligated. Under these unstable ligation conditions truncated or otherwise nonligatable contaminants in the preparations of these two oligonucleotides do not appreciably inhibit the formation of the desired polynucleotide product. The method of the 1invention enables use of oligonucleotides in ligation reactions without purification. The method of the invention also enables end-specific attachment of oligonucleotides to one or both termini of a target polynucleotide.
