Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for delivering a nucleotide sequence to a cell using an alphavirus vector that is complexed with an enhancing antibody that specifically binds to the alphavirus vector. Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis vectors are preferred. The cell may be a cell in vitro or in vivo. Alternatively, the cell may be removed from a subject, administered the alphavirus vector ex vivo and then administered to a subject. Antigen-presenting cells are preferred, with dendritic cells being more preferred. Also provided are methods of producing an immune response in a subject, e.g., for producing an immune response against an antigen associated with a pathogen or for immunotherapy of cancer of tumors.

Abstract: In a method of connecting a rod element (1, 3) to an aluminium section (2), which has two longitudinal locking grooves (4), at an arbitrary connection point along the length of the aluminium section, a connecting part (3) made from an aluminium sectional element and a tubular part (1) are used as the rod element. The connecting part (3) has two mutually opposite legs with longitudinal locking beads (6) which have a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the locking grooves (4) and suitable for pressing into the locking grooves for forming a cold press weld joint. The connecting part (3) is arranged in such a manner on the aluminium section (2) at the connection point that the locking beads (6) on its two legs are positioned directly in front of the locking grooves (4) of the aluminium section (2), whereupon the legs of the connecting part (3) are deformed in such a manner that their locking beads (6) are pressed into the respective locking grooves (4) and thus form a cold press weld joint therein. The tubular part (1) is then slipped over the connecting piece (3).

Abstract: Available storage media capacity for personal video recording
increases continuously, metadata can be used to organize
the recordings, search for content and access specific
recordings. If metadata are embedded within the multimedia
content itself, like DVB specific Service Information,
which are multiplexed with the audio and video streams to
form a MPEG-2 transport stream, a search based on this metadata
would require an inefficient and time consuming search
through all multimedia content stored. According to the invention
metadata information is gathered, analyzed and processed
to form metadata entities, which are amended by a reference
to the content itself. A descriptor stream (DS) is
formed from the resulting pairs of metadata entities and
references to the content and is stored separately from the
files comprising multimedia content. In this way, for data
of an MPEG-2 transport stream the metadata can be accessed
without a need to reparse the entire stream.
