Abstract: A seat assembly for mounting a pair of seats or seat
members on a bicycle has a central longitudinal bar portion
and first and second vertical bar portions which are separated
from each and extend upwardly in substantially the same
direction from the central bar portion. The vertical bar
portions are substantially normal to the longitudinal bar
portion and have different lengths. A vertical support bar
extends downwardly from the central bar portion substantially
normal therefrom and runs in a direction substantially
opposite to the direction of the first and second vertical bar
portions. First and second bicycle seats(or portions of a
single seat) are mounted on the remote ends of the first and
second vertical bar portions respectively. The vertical
support bar is mounted on the frame of the bicycle, extending
upwardly therefrom. The first vertical bar portion is
positioned directly above the pedals of the bicycle while the
second vertical bar portion is positioned above the rear wheel
of the bicycle. The first seat is set at a height to permit
the full downward extension of the rider's legs when pedaling.
The second seat is brought to a height low enough to permit
the rider's legs to comfortably reach the ground when the
rider is seated on the second seat.

Abstract: A nucleic acid construct is described which provides cell type-specific expression of a therapeutic transgene. The construct utilizes a cell type-specific promoter which drives expression of the transgene. A positive feedback loop is introduced through the addition of an amplification promoter element operably linked to the therapeutic transgene and by providing, either as part of the same construct, or in a different construct, a transcription activator for activating the amplification promoter element. In one embodiment, the amplification promoter element is a heat shock response element (HSE) and the transcription activator is HSF-1. The construct enables functional targeting of a therapeutic gene while avoiding undesirable effects in non-targeted cells, by combining sufficiently high-level expression to promote a desirable therapeutic outcome with exceptional tissue specificity. A series of promoter elements, constructs, vectors, and therapeutic approaches is presented for gene therapy of tumors such as melanoma and other genetic diseases.

Title: In-vehicle network management using virtual networks
Inventor: MILLSAP ARNOLD W
IPC: H04L12/40
Filed: 2001-04-02
Abstract: A network management approach for use in a vehicle to control
activation of electronic control units (ECUs) networked together throughout
the vehicle. The ECUs are grouped together by function into virtual networks,
with each virtual network including those ECUs used in carrying out a
particular control task, such as controlling power windows or automatic
headlights. The virtual networks are activated using a messaging protocol that
specifies which virtual network is being activated. Periodic messages
specifying the virtual network are also used to maintain it active. This permits
the ECUs to be maintained in a low power quiescent state when the control
functions are not needed, while allowing only those needed for a particular
control task to be awakened and maintained in an activated state to carry out
their associated control task. An ECU can activate one of the virtual networks
by transmitting a wake-up signal followed by a message identifying the virtual
network. Each of the ECUs receive this message and, if it is a member of the
virtual network being initialized, maintains itself in an active state to carry out
the control task associated with the virtual network. The other ECUs return to
the quiescent state. Using this approach, an ECU is able to activate only the
necessary ECUs for a particular control task without having to know which or
how many ECUs are involved in performing the task.
