Abstract: The present invention provides methods inhibiting formation of neurofibrillary tangles; and methods for treating disorders relating to apolipoprotein E (apoE) in a subject. The methods generally involve reducing the level of a carboxyl-terminal truncated form of apoE in a neuronal cell of a subject. The invention further provides isolated cells comprising a nucleic acid molecule encoding a carboxyl-terminal truncated form of apoE; and methods of screening compounds using the cells. The invention further provides compounds that inhibit an apoE cleavage enzyme, and that reduce the formation of neurofibrillary tangles in a neuronal cell. The invention further provides transgenic non-human animals that include as a transgene a nucleic acid that encodes a carboxyl-terminal truncated form of apoE; as well as methods of screening compounds using transgenic animals.

The sealant is of flowable consistency and the open side of the cavity (14) is closed by a member which is progressively displaced by an interlock of a neighbouring sheet pile, on driving the neighbouring pile. An end plate is used to close the lower open end of the cavity (14). The sealant (15) may have hydrophilic properties and the closure member may be in the form of a solid length of hard sealant (16) or a spring clip (17, fig 5).

Abstract: A reflector network is used within a content delivery network to enable requesting end users to subscribe to live streams that have been published to CDN entry points. A reflector is a generalized packet router program. The reflector network preferably comprises a hierarchy of reflectors that are located at the various entry points into the CDN, at each edge node at which requesting users may be directed by the CDN to obtain live streams, and at various "reflector" nodes located within at least one intermediate layer (in the hierarchy) between the entry points and the edge nodes. The edge nodes and each reflector node also include a manager program that arranges for feeds. When an end user is directed to an edge node that is not yet receiving the desired stream, the edge node's manager issues a subscription request to a set of reflector nodes. If the reflector node(s) are already receiving the desired stream, their reflector(s) begin sending it to the requesting edge node. If, however, the reflector node(s) are not already receiving the desired stream, their manager programs issue the subscription request to the entry point(s) to start the feed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a food package which includes on the one hand a piece of tableware (10) of plastic material, such as a plate, a tray or a container lid, and on the other hand at least one piece of cutlery (26) of plastic material. In order to carry out the method a mould is used which is constituted by two half-moulds (28, 30) which are so shaped as to form a piece of tableware (10) which has at least one relatively thin flat region (20) with at least one window (22). One of the half-moulds (30) has, within the region (20) delimited by the window (22), at least one imprint (34) of a shape corresponding to a piece of cutlery (26). Before the mould is closed in preparation for the injection of the plastic material, a cover element (24) of sheet material is applied onto the other half-mould (28), in the location of the window (22), to constitute a bottom wall of the window (22). When the moulding is carried out, a plastic material is injected into the imprint (34), between the latter and the bottom wall (24) of the window (22), in order to form a piece of cutlery (26). <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The machine includes a first line for conveying and separating the piles of articles; a second line for feeding heat-weldable wrapping sheets to a working station; a third line, fed upstream with piles coming from the first line and passing crosswise the working station, in which at least one pile is moved to strike the sheet placed in waiting position in the working station. The sheet is progressively folded around a longitudinal outline of the pile, and the relative parallel edges are overlapped and heat-welded. The second line (2) includes a first working group (G1) aimed at receiving a wrapping sheet (F,P*) from conveying means (16), situated upstream. The sheet (F,F*) corresponds to a size (P,P*) of a pile of articles and is connected to a relative film (K) by a pre-broken line. A second working group (G2), arranged in cascade to the first group (G1), from which it receives the sheet, is aimed at cooperating with the first group to first detach the sheet (F,F*) from the film at the pre-broken line and then to place the sheet vertically in the working station (So). A control unit (C) operates and verifies the first and second groups (G,1,G2). <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for joining together substrates, which have an inner hole, to form a substrate disk. An expandable element is introducible into the inner hole of at least two superimposed substrates. The element is expandable to such an extent that it can come into contact with the inner holes of both of the substrates to close off an intermediate space formed between the substrates relative to the environment. A substrate support is rotatable about an axis of rotation perpendicular to a support surface thereof. A centering device is rotatably coupled with the substrate support and is movable relative thereto in the direction of the axis of rotation. The expandable element is disposed, and is compressible, between the substrate support and the centering device.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for securely sharing storage resources in a storage network. One or more organizations are modeled in a structure where each organization includes one or more units. Users are assigned to a unit and are also assigned a command access level. The command access level grants access to certain management commands that may be performed on storage resources. Storage resources are then bound to units in the organization and may be accessed by users in the unit. Once command access levels are assigned and storage resources are bound, access for a user in the unit is restricted to the command access level assigned to the user and the storage resources bound to the user's unit. When a command from a user is received, the command access level of the user and the bound storage resources for the unit of the user is determined. Then, a management command is performed using the bound storage for the user's unit if the command is available for the command access level.

Abstract: A swinging bob toy having a middle bob with a non-cylindrically symmetric internal structure. The center of mass is located near the middle of the bore axis, and the percentage azimuthal variation V in the moment of inertia I about an axis in the equatorial plane, given byis minimized, for instance by positioning the internal components to produce a weight distribution with n-fold symmetry, where n>=3. In one preferred embodiment, the bobs are equipped with lights powered by on-board batteries. Flat cylindrical batteries are mounted on an equatorial circuit board with their axes of symmetry perpendicular to the bore axis. To allow battery replacement, the top and bottom halves of each bob are removably attached by screw-secured posts parallel to, but offset from, the bore axis. An on/off switch is accessible via a small aperture through a transparent outer shell. In one preferred embodiment, the lights flash at a frequency which is not visible when the bobs are stationary, but visible when the bobs are in motion.

Inscrire des hologrammes générés par ordinateur à l'aide d'un lithographe optique le plus rapidement possible et à faible coût tout en conservant une commande précise du positionnement du faisceau traceur pose un problème technique. Pour y remédier, on utilise une matrice de déclenchement bidimensionnelle (18) ; des moyens (20) permettant de générer un faisceau explorateur (22) et un deuxième objectif (24) permettant de concentrer le faisceau explorateur (22) sur la matrice de déclenchement (18).

Et enfin, des moyens (26) permettant de générer un signal de déclenchement destiné à la commande de l'intensité du faisceau traceur (10) sont reliés à la matrice de déclenchement (18). L'invention concerne également un procédé permettant de générer des hologrammes numériques dans un moyen mémoire.
