Abstract: An efficient computation of low-dimensional linear subspaces that optimally contain the set of
images that are generated by varying the illumination impinging on the surface of a three-dimensional
object for many different relative positions of that object and the viewing camera.
The matrix elements of the spatial covariance matrix for an object are calculated for an arbitrary
pre-determined distribution of illumination conditions. The maximum complexity is reduced for
the model by approximating any pair of normal-vector and albedo from the set of all such pairs
of albedo and normals with the centers of the clusters that are the result of the vector
quantization of this set. For an object, a viewpoint-independent covariance matrix whose
complexity is large, but practical, is constructed and diagonalized off-line. A viewpoint-dependent
covariance matrix is computed from the viewpoint-independent diagonalization
results and is diagonalized online in real time.

Abstract: A plant controller controls a plant modeled in a discrete-time system.
The controller uses a frequency-shaping response-designating control
algorithm having a filtering function to cause a difference between output
of the plant and a target value to converge. Thus, the plant is robustly
controlled without causing undesired frequency components. When the
plant is an engine, the engine is modeled using a ignition timing corrective
quantity as input and a rotational speed as output. The controller
performs the frequency-shaping response-designating control algorithm to
determine the ignition timing corrective quantity. The frequency-shaping
response-designating control may be frequency-shaping sliding-mode
control. In one embodiment, the control input into the plant may includes
a corrective term for stabilizing an internal variable of the filter, a
corrective term for stabilizing the difference between the output of the
plant and the target value and a corrective term that varies depending on a
switching function.

Abstract: The CA125 gene has been cloned and multiple repeat sequences including the carboxy terminus have been identified. The CA125 molecule comprises three major domains: an extracellular amino terminal domain (Domain 1); a large multiple repeat domain (Domain 2); and a carboxy terminal domain (Domain 3) which includes a transmembrane anchor with a short cytoplasmic domain. An amino terminal extension is present. The structure is dominated by a repeat domain comprising 156 amino acid repeat units, which encompass the epitope binding sites. More than 60 repeat units have been identified. The repeat units encompass the site of OC125 and M11 binding. Expression of the repeats was demonstrated. Any one of the repeat domains has the potential for use as a new gold standard for detecting and monitoring the presence of the CA125 antigen. The repeat domains and other domains also provide a basis for the development of a vaccine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for deletion of antibiotic resistance and/or plasmid stabilisation. The invention includes the steps of constructing a vector comprising an antibiotic resistance gene surrounded by a direct repeat sequence gene. This direct repeat gene may be an essential gene or a Rek-sequence. In the latter case the essential gene with a suitable promoter is presented in the vector. A host cell is transformed with the vector obtained, followed by deletion of the essential chromosomal gene in the host cell and deletion of the antibiotic resistance gene in the vector in the cell. The essential gene infA is preferred. The invention also relates to a method of stable maintenance of a vector in a host cell, a method of producing DNA in the cell and a method of producing amino acids, preptides and proteins in the cell. Further, the invention is directed to transformed host cells from which the chromosomal essential gene has been deleted and which comprise a vector containing the corresponding essential gene and possibly also one or more genes X of interest. The vector carries no gene for antibiotic resistance. The use of vector DNA obtained from the host for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for gene therapy such as a vaccine is also covered. Bacteria carrying the vector with appropriate genes X can be used for large scale production of compounds as directed by the gene product(s) of such gene(s).
