Title: Method for reproducing in vitro the proteolytic activity of the ns3 protease of hepatitis c virus (hcv)
Inventor: FRANCESCO RAFFAELE DE
IPC: G01N33/576
Filed: 1995-02-14
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/IT95/00018 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 23, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 23, 1996 PCT Filed Feb. 14, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/22985 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 31, 1995This is a method for reproducing in vitro the serine protease activity associated with the HCV NS3 protein, that comprises using both of the sequences contained in NS3 and the sequences contained in NS4A. This method takes advantage of the ability of the HCV NS4A protein, or sequences contained therein, to act as a cofactor of the serine protease activity or more generally of the enzymatic activities associated with NS3. Optimal serine protease activity is obtained when NS4A is present in a molar ratio of at least 1:1 with NS3. NS3 and NS4A can also be incorporated in the reaction mixture as NS3-NS4A precursor, as this precursor will generate, by means of an autoproteolytic event, equimolar amounts of NS3 and NS4A. It is also possible to mutate the cleavage site between NS3 and NS4A in a procursor, so that NS4A remains covalently The sequences that do not influence the proteolytic activity of NS3 can subsequently be removed from protease activity.

Title: Process for producing straw bales and device for implementing it
Inventor: WISSKIRCHEN MARKUS
IPC: A01F15/08
Filed: 1997-01-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing straw bales in which, while a straw packing or conserving machine is travelling over a field, straw produced during processing is pressed into bales, which are then ejected and deposited on the field, and a device for implementing the process with a mobile straw packing or conserving machine having a pressing channel ejecting the pressed straw bales. The basic purpose is to reduce the effort recquired to recover straw bales without any modification of the straw packing or conserving machine. In terms of the process, the purpose is attained in that at least two straw bales are stacked vertically during the machine's travel and discharged on the field in stacked from. In terms of the device, it is attained in that there is a straw bale stacking wagon at the intermediate storage position which is connected to the discharge side of the straw packing or conserving machine in such a way that it is behind the pressing channel.                 00000

Title: Process for producing a surfactant treated, formed, polymeric web
Inventor: WNUK ANDREW JULIAN
IPC: B29C51/22
Filed: 1995-02-23
Abstract: A coextruded, multilayer polymeric film having a core layer including a surfactant and at least one outer layer is placed on a forming structure. The forming structure moves in a direction parallel to the direction of travel of the multilayer film and carries the multilayer film in that direction. A fluid pressure differential is applied across the thickness of the multilayer film along the direction of movement of the forming structure. The fluid pressure differential is sufficiently great to cause the multilayer film to conform with the forming structure forming a formed polymeric web. The formed polymeric web is exposed to a temperature which is sufficiently great enough to allow the surfactant in the core layer to migrate to the outer layer to form a surfactant treated formed polymeric web.

Title: Biometric personal identification system based on iris analysis
Inventor: DAUGMAN JOHN G
IPC: G06V10/42
Filed: 1992-10-10
Abstract: A system for rapid and automatic identification of persons, with very high reliability and confidence levels. The iris of the eye is used an optical fingerprint, having a highly detailed pattern that is unique for each individual and stable over many years. Image analysis algorithms find the iris in a live video image of a person's face, and encode its texture into a compact signature, or "iris code." Iris texture is extracted from the image at multiple scales of analysis by a self-similar set of quadrature (2-D Gabor) bandpass filters defined in a dimensionless polar coordinate system. The sign of the projection of many different parts of the iris onto these multi-scale quadrature filters, determines each bit in an abstract (256-byte) iris code. The degrees-of-freedom in this code are based on the principle forms of variation in a population of irises studied. Because of the universal mathematical format and constant length of the iris codes, comparisons between them are readily implemented by the Exclusive-OR (XOR) logical operation. Pattern recognition is achieved by combining special signal processing methods with statistical decision theory, leading to a statistical test of independence based on a similarity metric (the Hamming distance) that is computed from the XOR of any two iris codes. This measure positively establishes, confirms, or disconfirms, the identity of any individual. It also generates an objective confidence level associated with any such identification decision.

Title: Method and system for configuring and unlocking an electronic reading device
Inventor: HOLLSTROM MAGNUS
IPC: B41J29/393
Filed: 2001-02-09
Abstract: A method and system for controlling, configuring, and unlocking an electronic device utilizes a reading sensor for detecting a portion of an address pattern on a formatted surface. In particular, the address pattern on the surface is formatted such that a position on the address pattern can be determined by detecting only a small portion of the address pattern. A processor identifies whether the detected position of the address pattern is within an electronic reading device configuration area and, if so, converts position data received from the reading sensor into a configuration setting or control function for the electronic device. The conversion can be performed, for example, by translating the detected position(s) into an alphanumeric character. The configuration setting is then stored in the electronic reading device and/or in a server associated therewith or the control function is performed. Alternatively, instead of converting detected positions into a configuration setting, detected positions can be converted into an unlocking code (e.g., a PIN or signature), which is then compared with a stored user identifier. If a match occurs, the electronic reading device is enabled or unlocked.
