Title: Plasmid stabilisation in vivo
IPC: C12N1/36
Filed: 2002-05-18
Abstract: This invention provides in vivo methods of maintaining a plasmid within a host cell, which is in turn within a recipient organism. In particular it relates to methods of maintaining a plasmid containing a gene useful in therapy, especially vaccination. The invention is based on modified host cells, suitable for in vivo therapeutic use, that may be used to express a therapeutically useful plasmid-borne gene, using a plasmid maintenance system that does not require the use of a plasmid-borne dominant selectable marker, but rather utilises a system of repressor titration. Methods of selecting host cells comprising the plasmid and host cells for use in these methods are also provided.

Title: Assembly of aircraft components
IPC: B23P19/00
Filed: 2005-09-22
Abstract: A method of assembling parts to form an aircraft component, in which a first surface of a first part (for example a wing skin (12)) is to be positioned in the assembly adjacent to a second surface of a second part (for example a rib foot (8)). The method comprises the steps of taking measurements of the first part (12), taking measurements of the second part (8) with a laser (15A), and calculating the size and shape of the space that will be generated when the first and second parts are assembled.

Title: Active clearance control for gas turbine engine
IPC: F01D11/08
Filed: 1989-03-31
Abstract: The invention concerns an active clearance control for controlling clearance between a turbine and a casing in a gas turbine aircraft engine. The invention calculates the instantaneous clearance between a turbine casing and a turbine rotor, based on temperature. Two temperatures are involved. First, a steady state temperature (SSTemp) is computed for the rotor and the casing. SSTemp is a predicted, future temperature, which will be attained when the engine reaches steady state operation. Each SSTemp is computed based on presently occurring engine operating conditions, such as selected temperatures, pressures, and rotational speeds. Changes which occur in the SSTemp's indicate the second temperatures, which are the instantaneous temperatures of the casing and rotor. These changes in SSTemp are caused by changes in the present operating conditions, which occur during engine acceleration and deceleration. The instantaneous temperatures indicate the diameters of the casing and the rotor, and thus the instantaneous clearance between them. In another form of the invention, the computed instantaneous clearance is used to control air which is bled from the fan and ducted onto the casing, in order to attain a desired clearance.
Patent GB-8910512-D0 (GB)
Title: Cutting brittle materials
IPC: B28D1/26
Filed: 1989-05-08
Abstract: A method of cutting a brittle workpiece comprises applying to the surface of the workpiece a pointed tool, applying high frequency vibrations in a longitudinal direction to the tool, and moving the tool along a line to be cut of the workpiece while applying substantially steady longitudinally directed pressure to the tool. Stress is thereby applied to the workpiece as a combination of short impulses and steady direct stress and the breaking stress of the material would be attained coincident with the peak oscillatory stress. Crack propagation would therefore proceed by a series of stepwise fractures induced by successive cyclic stress peaks, resulting ultimately in the separation of the workpiece into two pieces. An apparatus for carrying out the method comprises a piezoceramic transducer (5) to generate ultrasonic vibrations, a tip (1) to be applied to the workpiece and having a hardness greater than that of the workpiece, and means to convey the ultrasonic vibrational energy to the tip.
Patent GB-8920004-D0 (GB)
Title: Printing of fabrics
IPC: D06P5/15
Filed: 1989-09-05
Abstract: By using printing pastes containing a high proportion, e.g. 8 to 15% by weight, of a humectant such as urea or glycerol, fabric printing processes may be developed which can be used both on fabric webs and on garments or garment panels with equal ease. Following the application of the printing paste, and before it has materially dried out, the fabric is confined between a pair of impermeable layers and heated to greater than 100 DEG C. The process is particularly advantageously applied to discharge printing in connection with which it is possible to use discharge printing techniques without the necessity for subsequent washing out and with the production of a visible discharge print immediately after the heat treatment step just noted.

Title: Message searching system and terminal
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1997-05-08
Abstract: A message searching and system and a terminal, which display messages to terminal users based on their individual characteristics profile, even when a plurality of users use the same terminal and even when users copy and use the same program. The system includes a message user database for storing records defining user characteristics profiles of terminal users, and a transmittal condition database for storing searching conditions for each message which may be transmitted to the terminal. This system detects a necessity to revise the user characteristics when communicating with the terminal, and revises the user characteristics if necessary. This system reads user characteristics from the message user database, and searches for appropriate messages from the transmittal condition database based on the user characteristics and characteristics associated with each message identifier. The message user database stores each user's birth date and the last system communication date. The user's characteristics profile is updated based on various conditions. For example, if the date obtained by adding a predetermined period to the user's birth date is after the last communication date with the user, the characteristics profile is revised.
