Abstract: A method and apparatus for protecting smart cards against simple and differential power attacks when they are inserted into card readers controlled by other entities. The technique is particularly useful in financial applications such as ATM cards, credit cards, and electronic wallets, in which cards have to be inserted into card readers which may be specifically manufactured or modified to perform undetectable measurements of the power supplied to the card during its normal operation. The basic technique is to use two capacitors embedded in the smart card in such a way that at any given time one of them is charged by the external power supply and the other one is discharged by powering the smart card chip. The roles of the two capacitors alternate rapidly, and the power supply is detached from the smart card chip in the sense that external power measurements do not reveal information about its internal operations. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A new method for CVD deposition on a substrate is taught wherein radical species are used in alternate steps to depositions from a molecular precursor to treat the material deposited from the molecular precursor and to prepare the substrate surface with a reactive chemical in preparation for the next molecular precursor step. By repetitive cycles a composite integrated film is produced. In a preferred embodiment the depositions from the molecular precursor are metals, and the radicals in the alternate steps are used to remove ligands left from the metal precursor reactions, and to oxidize or nitridize the metal surface in subsequent layers. A variety of alternative chemistries are taught for different films, and hardware combinations to practice the invention are taught as well.

Abstract: Synthetic single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) containing unmethylated CpG dinucleotides in specific base contexts or T-rich motifs, including poly T, (immunostimulatory ODNs) are immunostimulatory for B lymphocytes and other lymphoid and nonlymphoid cells, while ODN without these CpG sequences or T-rich motifs (non-immunostimulatory ODNs) are not. Mechanisms by which cells discriminate between immunostimulatory and non-immunostimulatory ODNs are hitherto unknown. The invention is based upon the purification and identification of immunostimulatory DNA binding proteins, naturally occurring cellular proteins which bind specifically to immunostimulatory ODNs and mediate the observed immunostimulatory effects. These proteins are RNA binding proteins and include nucleolin, hnRNP A1, hnRNP D, AUF1, and lupus La protein. The invention provides methods for the use of RNA binding proteins as immunostimulatory DNA binding proteins. Provided are methods useful for screening and identifying immunostimulatory DNA inhibitors, competitors, agonists, mimics, and cellular targets. Methods are also provided for using immunostimulatory DNA binding proteins to optimize immunostimulatory ODN for immune stimulation. Also provided are an isolated immunostimulatory ODN-immunostimulatory DNA binding protein complex and a kit for identifying cellular targets of immunostimulatory DNA.

Abstract: The DegP (HtrA) protease is a multifunctional protein essential for the removal of misfolded and aggregated proteins in the periplasm. The present invention provides an assay for inhibitors of DegP activity, comprising mixing a suspected inhibitor of DegP activity with DegP and a suitable substrate (preferably a native substrate of DegP such as PapA) and detecting changes in DegP activity. DegP has been shown to be essential for virulence in several Gram negative pathogens. Only three natural targets for DegP have been described: colicin A lysis protein (Cal), pilin subunits (K88, K99, Pap) and recently HMW1 and HMW2 from Hemophilus influenzae. In vitro, DegP has shown weak protease activity on casein and several other non-native substrates. The present inventors have identified the major pilin subunit of the Pap pilus, PapA, as a native DegP substrate and demonstrated binding and proteolysis of this substrate in vitro. Using an NH2-terminal affinity tag the present inventors have purified PapA away from the PapD chaperone, in the presence of denaturant, to use as a proteolysis substrate. This finding will allow the identification of the DegP recognition and cleavage sites in substrate proteins, and further, allow the design of small molecule inhibitors of protease function.

Abstract: A rope elevator has a car and a counterweight hanging on suspension ropes and moving in opposite directions along guiderails in an elevator hoistway. A car guide-plane is formed by two car guiderails running parallel to the car-front and approximately through the center-of-gravity of the car. The elevator is driven by a drive unit with a traction sheave that is placed in the hoistway overhead above the travel-path of the counterweight so that the upper part of the car can reach a position in the hoistway above the drive unit. The suspension ropes run down from a first hitch-point situated in the hoistway overhead in the vicinity of the counterweight-side side-wall of the hoistway and around one or two pulleys of the counterweight, then up and around the traction sheave of the drive unit, then down again and horizontally/diagonally across under two pulleys underneath the car, and finally up again to a second hitch-point on the car-side side-wall of the hoistway. The drive unit is fastened by means of a supporting construction exclusively to the two counterweight guiderails and to the guiderail on the counterweight side of the car.
