Abstract: The present invention relates to insect odorant receptor genes and methods for identifying odorant receptor genes. The invention provides nucleotide sequences of insect odorant receptor genes Or83b, amino acid sequences of their encoded proteins (including peptides or polypeptides), and related products and methods. The nucleic acids of the invention may be operatively linked to promoter sequences and transformed into host cells. Methods of production of an Or83b odorant receptor protein (e.g., by recombinant means), and derivatives and analogs thereof, are provided. Antibodies to an Or83b odorant receptor protein, and derivatives and analogs thereof, are provided. Methods for identifying molecules that bind or modulate the activity of these Or83b odorant receptor genes are provided. Molecules found to bind or modulate the activity of Or83b genes may be formulated into pest control agents by providing a carrier. In a preferred embodiment, molecules that bind or modulate the activity of an Or83b gene form one species but not others is desired. Methods to modify the insect behaviour by modifying an insect Or83b odorant are also provided.

Abstract: Method of contiguously recording a sequence of ordered A/V information signals, such as video/audio information, and corresponding management information signals, such as video management, menu information or file information, on a disc-like recording medium of the write-once type, such as an optically recordable and readable disc. The recorded information complies to the requirements of ordering of such information as defined by a disc of the read-only type or of the rewritable type. The method comprises allocating a reserved area within a linear addressing space of the disc, contiguously recording the A/V information signals in a video recording area located succeeding the reserved area, recording corresponding management data in a temporary overview space succeeding the video recording area, generating a mapping table for mapping the recorded management data to address locations in the reserved area and recording the mapping table in the temporary overview space. When finalizing the disc, the recorded management information signals is copied to the reserved area in correspondence to the latest mapping table information and the remaining unrecorded sections of the reserved area is recorded with arbitrary data signals.

Abstract: A trigger type liquid discharge device comprising a
container, a pump unit having a cylinder and a piston, a
discharge pipe (F) having a discharge aperture (405), and
a trigger (102) for reciprocating the piston. Liquid
drawn up from the container is discharged through the
discharge aperture by movement of the piston to a stroke
end. A liquid guide (403) is arranged in a liquid flow
path (407) disposed upstream relative to the discharge
aperture (405). The liquid guide (403) comprises a valve
body (410) for closing the liquid flow path (407), a
pressure bearing sleeve (411) formed integrally with the
valve body (410), a guide sleeve (417) connecting the
valve body (410) and the pressure bearing sleeve (411)
through an opening (420). The guide sleeve (417) of the
liquid guide (403) is inserted into the inside of a guide
sleeve (418) of a spin element (404). The valve body
(410) is urged by a spring (413) between the guide sleeve
(417) and a guide sleeve (418) to close the liquid flow
path (407). The pressure bearing sleeve (411) has a
pressure bearing surface (414) facing the upstream side
of the liquid flow path (407) for bearing the liquid
pressure. An area of the said pressure bearing surface
(414) is so selected that a force generated by a proper
liquid discharge pressure that is applied to said
pressure bearing surface (411) is greater than the sum of
a resilient force of the spring member (413) and a force 
applied to the pressure bearing surface (414) and
directed to the downstream side of the liquid flow path
(407).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a needle safety device including a medical
device, such as a needle holder or a syringe. The device includes a needle cannula
having a puncture tip extending from an end of the medical device. A shield pivotably
connected to the medical device is pivotal with respect to the needle cannula between
a shielded position encompassing the needle cannula and a retracted or non-shielded

extending lever, and the medical device includes a laterally extending arm. A biasing
element having stored energy for biasing the needle cannula toward the shielded
position is positioned between the lever and the arm. Movement of the lever and the
arm toward each other pivots the shield to the retracted position, and releasing the
lever and arm allows the stored energy of the spring to pivot the shield into the
shielded position.

IPC: H04B7/08

Abstract: A method for generating channel quality feedback information in terms of quantized
eigenvectors calculated from an eigenvalue decomposition that uses a channel matrix and an
eigenvalue matrix to generate quantized and bounded eigenvectors. The channel correlation
matrix and the eigenvalue matrix are obtained from a channel matrix formed from channel
measurements of various signal parameters of signals transmitted over the communication
channel. The eigenvalue decomposition uses the elements of the channel correlation matrix, the
elements of the eigenvalue matrix and conditional relationships between elements of the channel
correlation matrix to calculate the quantized and bounded eigenvectors. Because the elements of
the quantized bounded eigenvectors can be expressed in terms of each other, not all elements of
the quantized bounded vectors need be transmitted over the communication channel resulting in
efficient use of the communication channel.
