Abstract: A high power, broad bandwidth light source comprises at least one rare earth doped fiber coupled to a long period grating. When the rare earth doped fiber is pumped to operate as an amplified spontaneous emission source, the grating flattens and broadens the output spectrum. Using an Nd doped fiber, applicants have achieved an output power of 25 mW at a center wavelength of 1.08 µm, a spectral width of 40 nm and a coherence length of 10 µm. The source has a flat output spectrum with a maximum slope of 0.1 dB/nm across the full spectral width, and it can be conveniently dropped into any fiber system requiring high power and a broad spectrum. 
     Using an Er-doped fiber, applicants have achieved an output power of 7.3 mW at a center wavelength of 1.55 µm and a spectral width of 38 nm. The source has a flat output spectrum with a maximum ripple of 1.7 dB across the full width. This source is compatible with the needs for a spectrum sliced source.

Abstract: Clusters (a, b, c, d, e, f) are generated by clustering the feature vectors of input characters. Clusters (d) which are likely to contain misrecognized characters are not integrated into other clusters. If there is a character that is determined to be likely to have been misrecognized and if there is a cluster (a) belonging to another character category having similar feature vectors, then that input character is integrated into the similar cluster and the character category of that input character is changed into the character category of the similar cluster (change category from 4 to 2).

Abstract: A target material having pores is disposed on a substrate. A high energy beam is irradiated to the inner walls of the pores of the target material in a slanting direction. Constituent atoms or molecules of the target material are detached from it to obtain a single or plurality of ultrafine particles separated as a unit substance. The superfine particles are formed at desired positions corresponding to the pores of the target material. Besides, by using an amorphous carbon substrate as the substrate, fullerenes such as an onion-like graphite are formed with the ultrafine particles as nucleation points. When the high energy beam is irradiated to at least two neighboring metal ultrafine particles, these metal ultrafine particles are bonded mutually. When the obtained metal ultrafine particle bonded body has a corresponding grain boundary, the high energy beam is further irradiated to lower value Σ of the corresponding grain boundary of the bonded interface. Besides, the metal ultrafine particle bonded body can also be made into a monocrystal grain or a polycrystal grain. Such a metal ultrafine particle bonded body is stable.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a circuit for charging a battery (18) comprising
a charging source (12), a transistor (13) and a charge control device (16) for switching the
transistor (13). When saturated and switched on, the transistor (13) permits flow of charge
to the battery (18) from the charging source (12). The charge control device (16) senses
when main power is lost and switches the transistor (13) off to prevent discharge of the
battery (18) through the charging source (12). After the battery (18) is charged the
transistor (13) provides a path of least resistance to bleed off unwanted charge from other
sources thereby preventing overcharging of the battery (18). The circuit therefore charges
a battery (18) rapidly and prevents overcharging of the battery (18). The charge control
device (16) is operable from a constant supply voltage supplied by a main power source
(10) when available or from the charged battery (18) to continue operation despite loss of
main power.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des protéines isolées liant la matrice extracellulaire, appelées ClfB, SdrC, SdrD et SdrE, et leurs séquences et motifs d'acides nucléiques et d'acides aminés correspondants. Les protéines, les peptides, leurs fragments ou leurs parties antigéniques sont utiles d'une part, à la prévention, l'inhibition, le traitement et le diagnostic d'infections à S. aureus et d'autre part, comme instruments de recherche scientifique. En outre, des anticorps ou des fragments d'anticorps contre les protéines, les peptides, leurs fragments ou leurs parties antigéniques sont également utiles à la prévention, l'inhibition, le traitement et le diagnostic d'infections à S. aureus. En particulier, on peut administrer les protéines ou leurs anticorps sur des lésions ou bien les utilisés pour enrober des biomatériaux destinés à agir comme agents bloquants pour prévenir ou inhiber la liaison de S. aureus à des lésions ou des biomatériaux. ClfB est une protéine associée à la paroi cellulaire, qui présente un poids moléculaire prédit d'environ 88 kDa et un poids moléculaire observé d'environ 124 kDa, et qui lie le fibrinogène aussi bien soluble qu'immobilisé. ClfB lie à la fois les chaînes alpha et bêta du fibrinogène et fait office de facteur d'agglutination. SdrC, SdrD et SdrE sont des protéines associées à la paroi cellulaire présentant une liaison par ligands dépendante des cations à la matrice extracellulaire. On a découvert qu'au niveau de la zone A de SdrC, SdrD, SdrE, ClfA et ClfB, se trouve une séquence d'acides aminés hautement conservée que l'on peut utiliser pour dériver un motif consensus de TYTFTDYVD.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à de nouveaux gènes et à des polypeptides dérivés de ces gènes codant une protéine sensible à l'oxydoréduction qui favorise la croissance cellulaire, protège les cellules contre l'apoptose, séquestre les radicaux d'oxygène et peut servir à inverser les phénotypes des tumeurs. Dans une tentative d'identifier un ou des gènes responsables de l'apoptose induite par 1,10-phénanthroline (OP) dans les cellules tumorales, nous avons utilisé la technique de présentation différentielle et cloné un gène induisible par OP, le SAG (gène sensible à l'apoptose). Le SAG code une nouvelle protéine sensible à l'oxydoréduction, se fixant à l'hème, à l'aide d'un domaine de protéines à doigt de zinc. La protéine de SAG se compose de 113 acides aminés, avec un poids moléculaire calculé de 12,7 kDa. Les recherches sur l'homologie des séquences ont révélé que le SAG est fortement conservé parmi les espèces, ce qui suggère son importance fonctionnelle. Cette suggestion est prouvée par la découverte selon laquelle la dislocation du SAG dans la levure est létale. Deux mutants de délétion du SAG ont été détectés dans des lignées cellulaires de cancer humain prenant naissance dans le colon et dans les testicules, ce qui suggère son possible rôle dans la carcinogenèse humaine. La surexpression de la protéine de SAG dans une lignée de carcinomes de colon humain, DLD1, et dans une lignée de neuroblastomes humains, SY5Y, protège les cellules contre l'apoptose induite par OP, par le zinc et par des ions de cuivre. En outre, la transfection de SAG anti-sens inhibe certains phénotypes de cellules tumorales dans les lignées de cellules humaines DLD1 et la micro-injection d'ARN de SAG stimule la croissance cellulaire. Nous proposons que la protéine de SAG soit une molécule de protection cellulaire fonctionnant comme un capteur d'oxydoréduction pour faire tampon aux dommages induits par des contraintes oxydatives, ainsi qu'un facteur de croissance destiné à stimuler la croissance cellulaire. La protéine de SAG peut être une cible moléculaire idéale dans l'élaboration de médicaments contre les maladies neurodégénératives, les cancers et les dystrophies musculaires, et pour favoriser la cicatrisation.

Abstract: The present invention described provides a start microbial replication factor, as well as methods for assaying and using the start microbial replication factor. A start microbial replication factor can be used to stimulate the growth of bacteria in suspension or bound to a surface. Agents that inhibit or enhance a start microbial replication factor can also be identified. The present invention also describes processes to treat or control the growth of bacteria which are bound to surfaces. Both proliferation and metabolism of bacteria which are adhered to surfaces are independent of both time and nutrient supply. Growth of adherent bacteria is density dependent. The present invention also provides a process to predict when bacterial growth will exhibit rapid growth on a surface. The invention also provides strains of transformed bacteria and methods of using the bacteria strains to measure microbial growth in the presence of absence of a start microbial replication factor. The transformed bacteria have a bacterial reporter gene under the control of a promoter whose expression is coordinately regulated with cell growth.
