Patent EP-0931299-A1 (EP)
Inventor: CORDERY ROBERT A
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 1998-06-12
Abstract: A system (10) and method of evidencing postage payment includes a data center (3) with a database (36) having a plurality of meter records (64) stored therein. Each meter record (64) includes meter information corresponding to a metering account assigned to each of a plurality of remote user devices (20, 22) that are authorized to request evidence of postage payment. When a request for postage (100) is received at the data center (30), a secure co-processor device (44) in the data center (3) obtains the appropriate meter record (64) and verifies the authenticity of the meter record (64) by verifying a signature (205, 210) in the meter record (64) and comparing freshness data (220, 225) in the meter record (64) to freshness data in the secure device (44). If verified, the secure device (44) then accounts for an amount of postage to be evidenced (130), generates evidence of postage payment (130) and updates the meter information, including the freshness data (130), in the meter record (64). The secure device (44) then signs the updated meter information and stores the signature in the meter record (64, 135, 140). The secure device (44) then returns the updated meter record (64) to the database (36, 135, 140).

Abstract: Tat-inhibitory oligocarbamate derivatives of the formula I   <IMAGE>    <IMAGE>    <IMAGE>   and analogs thereof, and the biologically and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof exhibit advantageous properties, including specific binding to TAR RNA with high affinities, and stability of the resultant oligocarbamate-RNA complexes to proteolytic digestion. Site-specific photocrosslinking experiments using a photoactive analog (4-thio-uracil) containing TAR RNA indicate that these oligocarbamates interact with RNA in the major groove. These oligocarbamates are thus capable of competing with the TAR RNA-binding domain of Tat protein and thus are useful as a therapeutic agents in the treatment of AIDS.

Filed: 1998-08-04
Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode permettant l'engrènement d'une roue et d'un pignon sans que l'un des deux éléments ou les deux soi(en)t endommagé(s). Chaque élément de la paire formant engrenage présente un axe de rotation et plusieurs dents à sommets respectifs, au moins un des éléments présentant des dents, et donc des sommets de dents, qui s'étendent longitudinalement en formant un certain angle avec l'axe de rotation dudit élément. Ladite méthode consiste à déplacer un élément de la paire formant engrenage d'une position de pré-engrènement relativement en direction de l'autre élément de la paire formant engrenage, le long d'un chemin d'engrènement, ce qui implique un mouvement relatif le long (1) d'un chemin de coulissement orienté dans la direction de l'angle des sommets de dents et (2) le long d'un chemin axial dans la direction de l'angle de l'élément engrenage. Lors de l'entrée en contact de tout sommet de dent des éléments, la rotation d'au moins un des éléments permet ainsi aux dents d'être positionnées de manière relative de sorte que l'engrènement s'effectue. Ladite méthode consiste également à faire tourner au moins un des éléments simultanément, avec un mouvement relatif le long du chemin d'engrènement.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une technique permettant d'éliminer l'épimérisation de l'acide aminé terminal Cα dans une séquence peptidique protégée, durant le couplage, en utilisant la fraction de protection représentée en (1), que l'on appelle 'lieur précurseur'. Cette fraction a un certain nombre de caractéristiques. Ainsi, le groupe fonctionnel R et la fonction 2-hydroxyle sont en position para l'un vis-à-vis de l'autre, et le résidu éther est en position para vis-à-vis du résidu aldéhyde. R1 est un groupe alkyle donneur d'électrons. Le groupe R est une fraction capable de passer facilement d'un rôle de retrait d'électrons à un rôle donneur d'électrons et vice versa. Cela repose sur la notion de mécanisme de sécurité. Le principe selon lequel une liaison stable passe aisément à l'état de liaison instable en un point approprié durant une synthèse a été appliqué à la chimie des peptides pour l'élaboration de lieurs et de groupes de protection. Une approche a consisté à exploiter la facilité de conversion réductrice d'un sulfoxyde en sulfure. Lorsqu'elle est appliquée au lieur précurseur (1), cette approche permet d'obtenir des fractions de protection fonctionnelles appelées 'composés lieurs'.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une nouvelle classe d'équipement optique aux rayons X, à utiliser dans la lithographie de proximité à rayons X et dans lequel sont prévues plusieurs facettes de miroir (20) disposées selon une géométrie d'incidence rasante, à une distance relativement importante du masque (30). Chaque facette de miroir (20) est sensiblement plate en ce que son rayon de courbure est sensiblement supérieur à celui de la cible (30). Chaque facette (20) crée un canal optiquement indépendant qui recouvre l'intégralité de la cible (30). Les facettes (20) sont disposées de sorte que plusieurs canaux puissent illuminer simultanément la cible (30), ce qui permet d'obtenir, au niveau de cette dernière (30), un flux élevé avec grande homogénéité. Les contraintes de divergence locale et globale au niveau du masque (30) sont respectées du fait que l'équipement optique (20) est suffisamment petit et qu'il est placé suffisamment loin de la cible (30).

Abstract: A method for welding the two end parts (6, 8) of a coil (10) on two electrical contact studs or tracks (24, 26) of an integr circuit or small electronic unit is characterized in that, prior to the welding operation, a preliminary stage is provided which consists of eliminating at least partially the insulating sleeve (42) of the electric wire (10) forming the coil at least to the spots of the two end parts (6, 8) provided for the welding onto the electrical contact studs or tracks (24, 26). The insulating sleeve is locally eliminated by means of an injection of heat, notably with a heating press (58) working at a temperature sufficiently high to melt or sublimate the insulating sleeve. The welding stage is realized at a temperature clearly lower than temperature used in this preliminary stage to allow a diminution of the thermal and mechanical stresses in the integrated circui and the electrical contact studs or tracks (24, 26) during the welding of the coil ends (6, 8) on these studs or tracks.
