Inventor: BACHMANN MARTIN F
IPC: A61K39/39
Filed: 2002-09-16

Abstract: The invention relates to the finding that virus like particles (VLPs) can be loaded with immunostimulatory substances, in particular with DNA oligonucleotides containing non-methylated C and G (CpGs). Such CpG- VLPs are dramatically more immunogenic than their CpG-free counterparts and induce enhanced B and T cell responses. The immune response against antigens optionally coupled, fused or attached otherwise to the VLPs is similarly enhanced as the immune response against the VLP itself. In addition, the T cell responses against both the VLPs and antigens are especially directed to the Thl type. Antigens attached to CpG-loaded VLPs may therefore be ... SIMILAR ideal vaccines for prophylactic or therapeutic vaccination against allergies, tumors and other self-molecules and chronic viral diseases.

Abstract: An object accommodated in an internal space of a freezer is quickly cooled to a predetermined temperature with preventing water from freezing while an oscillating electric field of, preferably, a variable frequency in the range of 50 Hz to 5 MHz and/or a magnetic field are applied to the object, or further ionic air is added to clod air, and subsequently the object is instantaneously frozen at the predetermined temperature. Preferably, the magnetic field is a static magnetic field and/or a variable magnetic field. <??>A variable magnetic field-generating means includes a plurality of electromagnetic coil units, each including a coil base for forming a coil and an electromagnetic coil formed of a highly conductive wire wound around the base, the coil being sealed with a caulking compound. The electromagnetic coil units are disposed in parallel, in series, or crosswise along a holder so as to be across the holder, or so as to surround or sandwich the holder. Thus, a variable magnetic field with a uniform intensity can be applied to the object to be frozen or subjected to other treatments. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The routing method between networks has a radio network with routers and a designated router, each router carrying a digital word base. At the network radio level, each router transmits a request to the designated router. The router responds sending the contents of the digital word base to all or the majority of routers. When the router receives the message a Hello message is sent to search for neighbors. The router then transmits to all the other routers the digital word base contents, synchronizing with the neighbors.

Abstract: This invention provides automated systems and methods for configuring and reconfiguring gaming machines and games playable on a gaming machine. The automated systems and methods employ a complementary gaming machine configuration device, such as a paper-based ticket, and interface operably associated with a gaming machine, such as a note acceptor or bill validator that receives and reads the paper-based ticket. The gaming machine configuration device stores game parameter configuration information in the form of configuration indicia. The indicia may contain the content required to effect configuration directly or may do so indirectly by containing a reference to a location where a set of configuration parameters have been stored. This location may reside within the gaming machine or external to it, but accessible via. a communications link. The interface reads the indicia from the configuration device, and provides a signal to a processor responsible for managing the gaming machine. The processor has access to software or memory that stores associations between the configuration indicia and configuration and reconfiguration commands for the parameters. The processor and software are then designed or configured to convert the signal provided by the interface to commands that act on appropriate mechanisms of the gaming machine to configure or reconfigure the games and/or gaming machine components responsible for expression of the affected game parameters.
