Title: Non-human transgenic animal whose germ cells and somatic cells contain a knockout mutation in dna encoding 4e-bp1
Inventor: SONENBERG NAHUM
IPC: A61P3/00
Filed: 2000-04-07
Abstract: The eukaryotic mRNA 5' cap structure is recognized by eIF4E, which plays an essential role in translational control and cell growth. Members of a family  of proteins called eIF4E-binding proteins (4E-BPs) inhibit the activity of eIF4E and consequently repress translation. Following exposure of cells to hormones, cytokines and growth factors, 4E-BPs become hyperphosphorylated an d dissociate from eIF4E, to relieve translation inhibition. The phosphorylatio n events leading to 4E-BP1 dissociation from eIF4E are mediated by the P13- kinase/FRAP/mTOR signaling pathway. The present study addresses the biologic al importance of 4E-BP1 in vivo by disrupting its gene in the mouse. Homozygous  4E-BP1 deficient mice are healthy and develop normally. However, they show a n important decrease in white adipose tissue and blood glucose level, and the males show a decrease in total body weight and an increase in resting metabolic rate. Primary mouse embryo fibroblasts show accelerated cell growt h and enhanced cap-dependent translation, coincident with an increase in eIF4E  phosphorylation.

Title: Condition based monitoring of bearing by vibrational analysis
Inventor: BEN-ROMDHANE MOHAMED
IPC: G01M13/028
Filed: 2000-09-27
Abstract: An apparatus and method monitors the conditions of a bearing/shaft assembly (10, 12) by forming diagnostics based on spectral analysis of assembly's vibration. Baseline parameters are determined by a microprocessor analysis of the vibration spectra, comparing actual peaks to the peaks predicted by a model. The microprocessor (34) estimates rotation rate and preferably number of rolling elements by attempting to fit the model to the actual vibrational spectrum, by varying the assumptions. Baseline profiles are formed from one or more selected tones and preferably also harmonics thereof, to characterize the bearing/shaft assembly. The baseline profiles and parameters are compared against later acquired vibrational characteristics, and the comparison is used to diagnose bearing and/or shaft conditions.
