Title: Method and product for regulating cell responsiveness to external signals
Inventor: JOHNSON GARY L
IPC: C12R1/91
Filed: 1994-04-15
Abstract: The isolated nucleic acid sequence for MEKK, the MEKK amino acid sequence and protein, antibodies to MEKK, and methods for using such sequences, proteins and antibodies are described. The amino acid sequence of MEKK (MEK kinase), was elucidated from a cDNA sequence encoding a protein of 672 amino acid residues (73 kilodaltons). When MEKK is expressed, it phosphorylates and activates MEK. Phosphorylation and activation of MEK by MEKK is independent of Raf, a growth factor regulated protein kinase that also phosphorylates MEK. Thus, MEKK and Raf converge at MEK in the protein kinase network mediating the activation of MAPKs by hormones, growth factors, and neurotransmitters.

Patent EP-0852853-A4 (EP)
Inventor: GARDNER STEVEN H
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 1996-09-20
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de sélection d'un débit de correction d'erreur dans un système radio cellulaire. Chaque station de base émet une valeur de production de puissance, PP, qui représente sa puissance d'émission, PBT, multipliée par sa puissance de réception souhaitée, PBR. Une unité mobile détermine sa puissance d'émission appropriée, PMT, en mesurant sa puissance reçue, PMR, et en calculant le rapport PP/PMR (24). Si, du fait d'une forte perte de canaux, le résultat du calcul dépasse la capacité de puissance d'émission maximale de l'unité mobile (25), celle-ci utilise un débit inférieur et ajuste la puissance d'émission en conséquence (27, 31). Trois débits, 2/3, 1/2 et 1/3, sont utilisés dans le mode de réalisation préféré en fonction de l'importance de la perte de canaux. La sélection du début peut également dépendre de la quantité de données qui doivent être émises (30, 33, 34). Une station de base peut détecter le débit en tentant de décoder tous les débits et en choisissant le meilleur résultat.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un système transporteur doté d'un ensemble perfectionné de transfert (10), ledit système étant conçu pour transférer des articles de la fin d'un premier transporteur au début d'un second transporteur en ligne. La surface de transport de l'ensemble de transfert est formée par des rouleaux (26) entraînés par un système de couplage magnétique (40) qui assure l'alimentation en énergie à partir d'une source d'énergie indépendante (44, 46). En outre, des aimants (60, 62) servent à fournir une fixation positive entre l'ensemble de transfert (10) du transporteur et les supports du transporteur (20) qui s'étendent du premier au second transporteurs. Ainsi, lorsqu'un encombrement d'articles se produit à proximité de l'ensemble de transfert, la fixation positive assurée par les aimants cède, de même que le couplage magnétique entre la source de puissance (44, 46) et les rouleaux (26), ce qui supprime la connexion électrique. Ceci permet à l'ensemble de transfert (10) d'être soulevé fermement et libéré pour éviter des dégâts aux articles. L'ensemble de transfert (10) peut également contenir un câble d'attache (98) relié au bâti de façon à retenir et suspendre l'ensemble de transfert après sa libération.
