Title: Proteines vp22 et leurs utilisations
Inventor: ELLIOTT GILLIAN DAPHNE
IPC: C07K14/035
Filed: 1998-03-23
Abstract: On utilise des protéines VP22 du virus herpétique (ou leurs variants) pour modifier une structure cellulaire ou une division cellulaire, en raison de leur propriété, récemment découverte, de liaison aux microtubules dans des cellules. Une utilisation de la VP22 pour exploiter cette propriété consiste à stabiliser in vivo ou in vitro des microtubules cellulaires d'animaux (c'est-à-dire à retarder ou arrêter la division cellulaire, ou à provoquer la dégénérescence cellulaire). La fonction de liaison de la VP22 aux microtubules peut être exploitée par l'utilisation d'un réactif in vitro pour étudier les microtubules ou le cycle cellulaire, particulièrement au niveau de la division cellulaire; elle peut également être exploitée pharmaceutiquement pour retarder ou arrêter in vivo ou in vitro la division de cellules telles que les cellules néoplastiques ou les cellules parasites protozoaires.

Abstract: A drive unit provided with a power
transmission path interlockingly connecting an
engine (E) to left and right sprockets (12L,
12R), which are adapted to drive left and right
crawlers (11) of left and right traveling parts
(1L, 1R), via a non-stage traveling transmission
(21) and an auxiliary traveling transmission
unit (28) capable of changing the speed of a
working vehicle in a plurality of stages. The
power transmission path is provided with a
non-stage steering transmission (20), left and
right steering transmission units (48L, 48R)
and left and right planetary gears (40L, 40R) all
of which are adapted to be operated for speed
change in accordance with a turning operation
of a steering wheel (7). This construction
enables a pivot turn and a spin turn of a
working vehicle body to be made, the swinging
performance of the working vehicle to be
improved, the maneuvering of the vehicle to be
done easily, and the construction of the drive
unit to be simplified. It also becomes possible
for the vehicle body to travel in a speed range which cannot be covered by the non-stage traveling transmission alone, and reduce the fuel
consumption by lowering an output rotational frequency of the non-stage traveling transmission during a high-speed travel of
the vehicle on a road.

Abstract: The invention relates to the manufacture of a flat glass panel (1) for a picture display device of the flat type, formed by two glass cover plates (3, 5) with at least one glass plate (4, 4', 4'', ...) between them, and a vitreous frit (8) between the cover plates along the outer edges of the cover plates so as to obtain a box-type glass panel in which a channel structure is present. After heating to the melting temperature of the frit (8), the panel is cooled down to a transitional temperature of the frit, while the space between the cover plates is partly exhausted during the cooling-down phase at a temperature which lies between the melting temperature and the transitional temperature of the frit. Then the temperature is kept constant at approximately the transitional temperature until the frit has become undeformable, said space (13) between the cover plates (3, 5) being fully evacuated then. Finally, cooling-down continues to room temperature, and the space (13) inside the panel is hermetically sealed off.

Abstract: A device producing substrate having a depression not passing through the substrate
from the front to back formed on the surface of the substrate. The depression
preferably has an area of an extent which can be used as a mark for prealignment.
The depression preferably is formed at least at part of the outer periphery
of the substrate. The depression means any sort of depression not passing
through the substrate and is used in a sense including a notch, hollow, hole,
etc. In the device producing substrate, it is possible to use a dark-field imaging
type microscope with an oblique incidence illumination or a differential interference
microscope with an oblique incidence illumination to easily detect the position
of the depression and possible to perform pre-alignment based on the result
of detection. Further, in this device producing substrate, the depression
used for the pre-alignment is formed not to pass through the substrate from the
front to back, so less stress concentration occurs compared with a conventional
orientation flat or notch.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing an aromatic
polycarbonate, which comprises treating a molten aromatic
polycarbonate prepolymer (obtained by reacting an
aromatic dihydroxy compound with a diaryl carbonate)
with an inert gas under a predetermined pressure to
thereby cause the molten prepolymer to absorb the inert
gas, and subjecting the resultant molten prepolymer
having the inert gas absorbed therein to polymerization,
under a pressure lower than the above-mentioned predetermined
pressure employed for the inert gas absorption,
to thereby polymerize the prepolymer to a predetermined
degree of polymerization. By the method of the present
invention, a high quality aromatic polycarbonate which
is colorless and has excellent mechanical properties
can be produced at high polymerization rate even
without using a large amount of an inert gas. Further,
even if the production of an aromatic polycarbonate is
conducted in a continuous manner, the molecular weight
of the produced aromatic polycarbonate can be maintained
at a desired level, so that the high quality
polycarbonate can be stably produced for a prolonged
period of time. Therefore, the method of the present
invention is commercially very advantageous.

IPC: G01N5/04
Filed: 1998-10-02
Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring properties of a liquid composition includes a mechanical resonator, such as a thickness shear mode resonator or a tuning fork resonator, connected to a measurement circuit. The measurement circuit provides a variable frequency input signal to the tuning fork, causing the mechanical resonator to oscillate. To test the properties of a liquid composition, the mechanical resonator is placed inside a sample well containing a small amount of the liquid. The input signal is then sent to the mechanical resonator and swept over a selected frequency range, preferably less than 1 MHz to prevent the liquid being tested from exhibiting gel-like characteristics and causing false readings. The mechanical resonator's response over the frequency range depends on various characteristics of the liquid being tested, such as the temperature, viscosity, and other physical properties. Particular mechanical resonators, such as tuning fork resonators, can also be used to measure a liquid composition's electrical properties, such as the dielectric constant and conductivity, because the tuning fork's structure allows a high degree of electrical coupling between the tuning fork and the surrounding liquid. The mechanical resonator can be covered with a coating to impart additional special detection properties to the resonator, and multiple resonators can be attached together as a single sensor to obtain multiple frequency responses. The invention is particularly suitable for combinatorial chemistry applications, which require rapid analysis of chemical properties for screening.

Les nouvelles compositions de mélange fournissent des matériaux présentant des caractéristiques de traitement/propriétés améliorées par rapport aux polymères non modifiés comprenant les mélanges. Les compositions de mélange peuvent présenter un équilibre unique de propriétés notamment des propriétés de module et de barrière améliorées, une résistance à la traction améliorée, une aptitude au soudage par radiofréquence (RF), une aptitude à la liaison au solvant, une stabilité thermique et une résistance thermique améliorées dépendantes de la sélection des constituants individuels du mélange et de leurs rapports de composition. De plus, la localisation et la largeur de la transition vitreuse peuvent être régulées par variation de la composition du mélange et du niveau de plastifiant. Il est étonnant de constater que des mélanges renfermant un plastifiant présentent un matériau monophase, à partir de l'analyse des données de température de transition vitreuse.

Abstract: A scalable networking protocol that allows multiple nodes to communicate via a common data/control channel is described. The networking protocol allows any node on the network to assign itself as the active network server. The active network server polls client nodes based on a lineup card. Inactive nodes are automatically removed from the lineup card, thus reducing unnecessary polling traffic. This architecture reduces collisions while preserving bandwidth for actual data transmission. Support for both control and data networking needs is provided by the protocol. Support for streaming data or asynchronous data is provided by allocating time slots on the network and allowing two intelligent nodes to talk directly to each other as arbitrated by the active network server. The active network server can also allocate separate data channels such that large amounts of data traffic can flow independently of the operations of the main network. The network node serving as the active network server can be changed on a dynamic basis, and is typically determined by the first node initiating a transmit request on a sleeping network. Client nodes are addressed by dynamic-polling using an address isolation scheme.
