Abstract: The present invention discloses that the normal melanogenic gene, gp75 gene, encodes a gene product, a 24 amino acid peptide of ORF3, which is processed to an antigenic cancer peptide recognized by T lymphocytes. The cancer peptide of the invention derived from ORF3 is recognized by cancer antigen specific T lymphocytes as a tumor rejection antigen. The present invention relates to the identification of a second tumor antigen recognized by an HLA-A31 restricted CTL clone derived from the TIL586 cell line. This antigen derived from the TRP-2 protein tumor antigen and peptides thereof are capable of sensitising target cells for lysis by a CTL clone at 1 nM peptide concentration. Modified peptides were also recognized by the CTL clone. The products of these genes are promising candidates for immunotherapeutic strategies for the treatment and diagnosis of patients with cancer.

Abstract: A winding mechanism for controlling the retraction and deployment of an architectural covering, such as a window blind or shade having a winding element 12, about which the covering, or its lift cord or tapes are wound and unwound with rotation of the winding element about a first axis of rotation, and a fluid brake 40 for retarding the rotation of the winding element in at least one direction about the first axis. The fluid brake comprises a fluid tight compartment 42 containing a liquid and an impeller 46. The compartment and the impeller are adapted for relative rotation about a second axis, which can be the same as or coaxial with the first axis. Either the compartment or the impeller is operatively connected to the winding element. In operation the liquid rotates with the rotation of the compartment or the impeller about the second axis. Rotation of the liquid relative to the impeller or to the compartment in at least a first direction about the second axis is effective to retard the rotation of the winding element in at least a second direction about the first axis. The impeller 46, or a peripheral wall surface 43 of the compartment 42 has a first surface 49B that extends generally radially and substantially parallel with respect to the second axis. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A traffic concentrator ( 40 ) aggregates traffic in a radio access network. The traffic concentrator comprises an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switch ( 42 ) and a control node ( 44 ) associated with the ATM switch. The Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switch which performs a switching operation for switching unspecified bit rate (UBR) virtual channels (VCs) carrying user traffic between plural virtual paths (VPs). The user traffic is transported as ATM Adaptation Layer 2 (AAL2) connections over the unspecified bit rate (UBR) virtual channels (VCs). The control node is arranged to process AAL2 signaling messages which concern the AAL2 connections included in the VCs for which the ATM switch performs the switching operation. The AAL2 signaling messages are carried in virtual channels which do not carry the user traffic and which are either originated or terminated at the control node. In one example implementation, the traffic concentrator aggregates traffic of plural base stations of the radio access network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel pearlescent pigments based on substrates comprising at least one selectively light absorbing layer, which consists of a chalcogenide and/or oxychalcogenide, preferably sulfides or oxysulfides. The coatings can be directly prepared by the precipitation of chalcogenides in liquid suspension onto the substrates. Preferably, metal oxides or mixed metal oxides are coated onto the substrate; the resulting precursor is transferred into a furnace and calcined under a sulfurizing gas flow to convert the oxides into oxysulfides and/or sulfides depending on the reaction parameters. The conversion to sulfides and/or oxysulfides is preferably carried out in a fluidized bed reactor. Angle-dependent optical pigments are thus produced, which are especially useful in paints, powder coatings, paper coatings, plastics, cosmetics, inks and security-enhancing features as well as ion decorative applications for foods and drugs.
