IPC: G06F15/17
Filed: 1999-02-22
Abstract: A remote resource management system for managing resources in a symmetrical multiprocessing comprising a plurality of clusters of symmetric multiprocessors having interfaces between cluster nodes of the symmetric multiprocessor system. each cluster of the system has a local interface and interface controller. There are one or more remote storage controllers each having its local interface controller, and a local-to-remote data bus. The remote resource manager manages the interface between two clusters of symmetric multiprocessors each of which clusters has a plurality of processors, a shared cache memory, a plurality of I/O adapters and a main memory accessible from the cluster. This remote resource manager manages resources with a remote storage controller to distribute work to a remote controller acting as an agent to perform a desired operation without requiring knowledge of a requestor who initiated the work request. Said work is transferred only when a remote requestor is available for processing of the work, without a need for constant communication between the clusters of symmetric multiprocessors.

Title: Method for feeding and directing reaction gas and solids into a smelting furnace and a multiadjustable burner designed for said purpose
Inventor: JOKINEN TUOMO
IPC: F27D99/00
Filed: 1997-09-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for adjusting the flow velocity of reaction gas and the dispersion air of pulverous solids when feeding reaction gas and finely divided solids to the reaction shaft (6) of a suspension smelting furnace for creating a controlled and adjustable suspension. Reaction gas (8) is fed into the furnace from around a finely divided solid material flow (5), so that said solids are distributed with an orientation towards the reaction gas by means of dispersion air. The flow velocity and discharge direction of the reaction gas to the reaction shaft are adjusted steplessly by means of a specially shaped adjusting member (10) moving vertically in the reaction gas channel (13) and by means of a specially shaped cooling block (12) surrounding the reaction gas channel (13) and located on the arch of the reaction shaft. The velocity of the reaction gas is adjusted to be suitable, irrespective of the desired gas quantity, in the discharge orifice (14) located at the bottom edge of the reaction shaft arch (11), and from said orifice the gas is discharged into the reaction shaft (6) and forms there a suspension with the pulverous material, and the dispersion air needed for dispersing said material is adjusted according to the supply of the pulverous material. The invention also relates to a multiadjustable burner for realizing the method.

Inventor: RYALS JOHN ANDREW
IPC: A01H5/00
Filed: 1997-12-12
Abstract: L'invention concerne la localisation et la caractérisation d'un gène (appelé NIM1). Ledit gène est un élément clé de la voie SAR qui, combiné avec des inducteurs chimiques et biologiques, permet d'induire chez des plantes l'expression du gène SAR et une résistance à un large éventail de maladies. Le produit génique NIM1 est un homologue structurel du facteur (sous-classe .alpha. de I?B) de transduction de signal chez le mammifère. On exploite cette découverte de l'invention pour fournir des formes modifiées de NIM1 agissant comme régulateurs négatifs dominants de la voie de transduction du signal de l'immunisation systémique acquise (SAR). Ces formes modifiées de NIM1 confèrent le phénotype opposé comme le mutant nim1 chez les plantes transformées avec les formes modifiées de NIM1, par exemple les plantes transgéniques montrent une expression du gène constitutif SAR et un phénotype d'immunité constitutive (CIM). L'invention concerne aussi des vecteurs de transformation et des procédés de surexpression du gène NIM1 chez des plantes. Les plantes transgéniques ainsi créées présentent une résistance à un large éventail de maladies. L'invention concerne aussi des molécules d'ADN codant des formes modifiées du gène NIM1, des vecteurs d'expression contenant lesdites molécules d'ADN, ainsi que des plantes et cellules de plantes ainsi modifiées. L'invention concerne aussi des vecteurs de transformation et des procédés de surexpression du gène NIM1 chez des plantes. On décrit des vecteurs et des procédés pour induire une surexpression du gène NIM1 chez des plantes. L'invention concerne en outre des procédés pour activer l'immunisation systémique acquise chez des plantes et pour conférer à des plantes un phénotype CIM et une résistance à un large éventail de maladies, par modification des plantes avec des molécules codant des formes modifiées du produit génique NIM1.
Patent CA-2281415-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FONTAINE HENRI
IPC: F16K3/10
Filed: 1999-09-03
Abstract: a gate assembly for selectively closing an opening in a structure. The gate assembly includes a first frame sealingly affixed against the structure around the opening. A blocking member projects from its front side. A second frame is also provided, movably mounted in front of and substantially parallel to the first frame so that a lateral displacement of the second frame in a given direction causes the second frame to move closer to the first frame. A hatch is slidably mounted on the second frame. The hatch is movable between three positions: a first position where it is out of registry with the opening, a second position where it is substantially in registry with the opening and has a peripheral side in abutment with the blocking member, and a third position where it sealingly engages the front side of the first frame and closes the opening. The gate assembly also includes an actuator mounted between the hatch and the second frame for urging the hatch into the third position. In operation, the hatch moves from the first to the second position and so as a result of the hatch being then in abutment with the blocking member, the actuating means cause the second frame to move closer to the first frame, thereby bringing the hatch into the third position.

Title: Activateurs transcriptionnels chimeres, compositions et applications afferentes
Inventor: NATESAN SRIDARAN
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 1997-08-27
Abstract: Cette invention a trait à des activateurs transcriptionnels chimères dont la protéine contient au moins un domaine d'activation de transcription composite ("TAD") et au moins un domaine de liaison de l'ADN ("DBD"). Le TAD composite comporte une région polypeptidique continue comportant deux, sinon davantage, régions polypeptidiques constituantes (également dénommées "indicateurs d'activation") dont deux au moins se présentent ensemble dans le même produit génique d'origine naturelle. Dans certaines réalisations, la protéine chimère comporte un domaine de liaison aux ligands pour une activation allostérique, par exemple, un domaine récepteur capable de lier un ligand perméant de cellule comme la tétracycline ou un analogue de celle-ci ou un stéroïde tel que RU486 ou l'ecdysone. Dans ces cas, l'activateur de transcription chimère active de manière sélective la transcription d'un gène cible en présence du ligand respectif. Dans d'autres réalisations, l'activateur de transcription chimère est capable d'activer de manière constitutive une expression du gène cible, c'est à dire, sans que la présence d'un ligand ne soit nécessaire.
