IPC: C07K16/18
Filed: 1998-03-23
Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode de dépistage de tumeurs épithéliales solides, ou autres anomalies comme la colite rectale. Cette méthode consiste à: séparer par tailles le stroma des cellules épithéliales; séparer les cellules épithéliales de la majeure partie du tissu restant; mettre en réaction ce tissu en présence d'un anticorps monoclonal spécifique des cellules épithéliales; récupérer les cellules résultant de la réaction et les libérer de l'anticorps auquel elles sont liées. On obtient ainsi un échantillon contenant au moins 90 pour cent de cellules épithéliales par volume du tissu total de l'échantillon. La méthode consiste enfin à comparer au moins une caractéristique phénotypique ou génotypique de l'échantillon avec des cellules épithéliales normales correspondantes.

Title: A method for packet switched data transmission
Inventor: HIPPELAEINEN LEO
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-05-12
Abstract: The invention relates to packet-switched transmission of calls and particularly to real-time packet-switched transmission of speech calls. The object of the invention is to provide a method that allows efficient use of the transmission capacity without impairing the quality of real-time calls:  information can here be transmitted by a packet-switched method so that the transmission delays remain short and the transmission delay of one and the same call does not vary at the receiving end. The method of the invention comprises defining a repetition period (R) that is notably longer than the duration of the transmission of a single packet, defining the starting point (0) of the repetition period, receiving a packet (2), allocating a time slice (1') of the same duration as the packet from the repetition period for the connection that the packet is associated with, and transmitting the packet in the time slice allocated and when a new packet associated with the same connection is received, transmitting the packet in the time slice allocated for the connection. Another object of the invention is to provide a network node in a data transmission network.

Title: Tubular connection
Inventor: CURRY PETER JAMES
IPC: E02B17/00
Filed: 1998-12-04
Abstract: An arrangement for connecting tubular articles, particularly piles and pile sleeves, in which a first tube (4) fits into a second tube (2), the first tube having a first circumferential recess (10) and a second circumferential recess (12), and the second tube has a first set of latches (8) and a second set of latches (8') which are resiliently biased to engage in the first and second recesses respectively; when the latches and recesses are mutually engaged, axial movement is prevented by abutments in the recesses and the latches by one set of latches in one direction and the other set of latches in the opposite axial direction. The invention is such that latching engagement is only possible when the first set of latches is opposite the first recess and the second set opposite the second recess. This ensures positive connection and the use of preferred elements (30) which extend from one set of latches through the outer casing of the second tube; means can be provided to readily unlatch the tubes. In another arrangement, a similar unlatching arrangement is used, comprising a set of latches (118) which locate in a recess (117') bounded by a cirmcumferential abutment surface (117); the latches (118) are retracted by bolts (123) which extend to the outside of tube (110).
