Inventor: LARKIN ROBERT FRANCIS
IPC: F16H47/04
Filed: 1998-04-24
Abstract: A multi-range, synchronous shifting, hydromechanical transmission for application in an automotive drivetrain. The transmission receives split power inputs from the engine; one input being geared down (28) to a lower speed for driving a continuously variable hydrostatic transmission unit (22), while the other input drives a counter shaft (46) from which mechanical outputs (34) are taken at different speed ratios. A planetary gear set (58), driven by the hydrostatic transmission unit (22), is shiftable to provide either a low continuously variable speed hydrostatic output, suitable for transmission operation in low output ranges or a high continuously variable speed hydrostatic output, suitable for transmission operation in high output ranges.  A gear system (32) includes a plurality of gearsets selectively controlled by clutches and brakes to combine the hydrostatic and the mechanical outputs to produce four continuously variable forward ranges and one continuously variable reverse range.

Title: Tube blockage monitor
Inventor: DRAGNE RASVAN N
IPC: G01N15/14
Filed: 2000-02-18
Abstract: A blockage monitor for detecting a blockage in flow of particles such as seeds through a duct such as the seed duct of a seeder includes a sensor body for mounting on a wall of the seed duct and defining a front face flush with the duct surface carrying both an LED light source for projecting light into the interior of the duct and a phototransistor arranged to produce an output signal proportional to the intensity of reflected light received which increases as a seed passes. The sensor has a monitoring circuit including a logarithmic load, an operational amplifier and a comparator responsive to the output signal to generate a series of pulses representative of the passage of any particles. A separate blockage module counts the output and uses an algorithm for comparing the count with a calibration count to determine whether there is a blockage of the duct sufficient to interfere with the flow of particles and to generate a warning signal in the event that a blockage is detected. The blockage module is multiplexed with a plurality of spaced sensors and a power voltage is supplied to each sensor using two wires only with the pulses communicated along the same two wires. The blockage module is arranged to effect a test of the sensor by communicating to the sensor a pulse in the power voltage so as to generate a corresponding but delayed pulse in the light from the light source and the monitoring circuit generates the current pulse such that the current pulse is detectable by the blockage module separately from the pulse in the power voltage. Ground speed and rate application are communicated to the blockage module to use in the algorithm.

IPC: C07K14/22

Abstract: Min proteins are involved in cell division site selection in bacteria. Using Neisseria gonorrhoeae as a model to study the role of Min proteins, a min cluster containing homologues of minC, minD and minE was identified. N. gonorrhoeae (Ng) CH811 minC and minD insertional mutants exhibited aberrant division patterns, in some cases producing burst cells, indicating that cell division site selection was disrupted.      These mutants also presented delayed growth and altered viability. When gonococcal min genes were expressed individually, as a cluster, or as fusions to green fluorescent protein (GFP) in E. coli PB103, minicells and/or filaments were produced, indicating that these min genes disrupt cell division in other genera and that they are ubiquitous cell division inhibitors. The appearance of filamentous E. coli cells expressing MinC Ng and GFP-MinC Ng, and the polar localization of GFP-MinC Ng in E. coli supports the role for MinC Ng as a cell division inhibitor.  In addition, in round E. coli cells (i.e. rodA mutants), which divide in alternating perpendicular planes as does N. gonorrhoeae, MinC overexpression induced gross enlargement of the cells leading, in some cases, to bursting. GFP-MinD Ng and MinE Ng GFP were both distributed throughout the E. coli cells, although MinE  Ng-GFP was more concentrated at the cell poles. Novel Min Ng - Min Ng interactions were observed using yeast two-hybrid assays, especially the MinD Ng self-interaction. As reported herein, various Min proteins are conserved between a large number of bacteria genera, and are required for proper bacterial cell division.  Important to the present invention is the finding that MinC and MinE proteins have no counterparts in humans and MinD only resembles human proteins at its ATP-binding site.  Thus, the Min proteins and/or their corresponding DNA sequences provide a novel therapeutic target for the development of antibacterial agents.

Title: Linear accelerator
Inventor: ALLEN JOHN
IPC: H05H9/04
Filed: 1999-02-05
Abstract: This device allows the variation of the coupling between two points in an RF  circuit in a very simple way whilst maintaining the RF phase relationship and varying the relative magnitude of the RF fields. The device is characterised by a simple mechanical control of coupling value, that has negligible effect on the phase shift across the device. This is achieved by the simple rotation of the polarisation of a TE111 mode inside a cylindrical cavity. Such a device does not contain resistive elements, and the sliding mechanical surfaces are free from high RF currents. This device finds an application in standing wave linear accelerators, where it is desirable to vary the relative RF field in one set of cavities with respect to another, in order that the accelerator can operate successfully over a wide range of energies.

Title: Fault location in a medium-voltage network
Inventor: ROSOLOWSKI EUGENIUSZ
IPC: G01R31/08
Filed: 1999-02-19
Abstract: A method and a device for location of a fault which has occurred on one of the lines in a medium-voltage network and where the lines may comprise a number of loaded branches with intermediate line sections. By means of central measurement of the common voltage and sum current of the lines prior to and after the occurrence of a fault, according to the invention, the positive-sequence impedance of the line and a fictitious value of the positive-sequence impedance of the line, as viewed from each-branch, may be determined. When the fictitious value of two consecutive branches changes from a positive to a negative value, this is interpreted as if the fault is located on the intermediate line section. The fictitious value permits a possibility of determining the distance on the line section from the branch with the latest positive value to the fault, whereby the total distance to the fault becomes equal to the sum of all the line sections up to the branch with the latest positive value plus the distance of the faulty line section.

Inventor: LU YANMEI
IPC: C07K19/00
Filed: 1999-04-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to nucleotide sequences, including expressed sequence tags (ESTs), oligonucleotide probes, polypeptides, antagonists and agonists vectors and host cells expressing, and immunoadhesions and antibodies to PRO201, PRO308 or PRO309 polypeptides. The invention further relates to compositions and method for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based in part on the identification of genes that are amplified in the genome of tumor cells. Such gene amplification is expected to be associated with the overexpression of the gene product and contribute to tumorigenesis. Accordingly, the proteins encoded by the amplified genes are believed to be useful targets for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain tumors (e.g. cancer) and may act as predictors of the prognosis of tumor treatment.
