Patent CA-2400838-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BIRK PETER
IPC: A61P25/28
Filed: 2001-02-19
Abstract: Disclosed are novel methods for combatting diseases characterized by deposition of amyloid. The methods generally rely on immunization against amyloidogenic proteins (proteins contributing to formation of amyloid) such as beta amyloid (A.beta.). Immunization is preferably effected by administration of analogues of autologous amyloidogenic polypeptides, said analogues being capable of inducing antibody production against the autologous amyloidogenic polypeptides. Especially preferred as an immunogen is autologous A.beta. which has been modified by introduction of one single or a few foreign, immunodominant and promiscuous T-cell epitopes while substantially preserving the majority of A.beta.'s B-cell epitopes. Also disclosed are nucleic acid vaccination against amyloidogenic polypeptides and vaccination using live vaccines as well as methods and means useful for the vaccination. Such methods and means include methods for identification of useful immunogenic analogues of the amyloidgonic proteins, methods for the preparation of analogues and pharmaceutical formulations, as well as nucleic acid fragments, vectors, transformed cells, polypeptides and pharmaceutical formulations.

Abstract: An optical network includes links and nodes.      In each node, a control section sets an optical path to be used for optical transport. A switching section performs switching of the optical path. In the control section, a link observation section observes the wavelength of signal light that is being transmitted through a link connected to the node as the utilization of the link. A flooding section notifies each of the remaining nodes of the link utilization and acquires a link utilization observed by each of the remaining nodes so as to share the link utilization between the nodes.      An optical path calculation section selects the optical path to be used for optical transport by calculation using the link utilization observed by the link observation section and the link utilization observed by each of the remaining nodes. An optical path setting section sets the optical path selected by the optical path calculation section to the optical path to be used for optical transport.

Inventor: CLARK RICKE W
IPC: H03F1/34
Filed: 2001-08-30
Abstract: A system for detecting and compensating for a saturation condition of a powe r amplifier where an error signal is produced by differencing a signal representative of or derived from a control signal for controlling the shape  of the output of the power amplifier and a signal representative of or deriv ed from the output of the power amplifier. An integrator integrates the error signal to produce a cumulative error signal. A detection circuit detects a saturation condition when the value of the cumulative error equals or exceed s a predetermined value determined during device calibration. Upon the detecti on of a saturation condition, a compensation circuit derives a compensation val ue by multiplying the value of the error signal at the time saturation is detected by a predetermined constant, and subtracts this value from the control signal. The input to the power amplifier is derived from the adjuste d control signal.

Abstract: An apparatus for treating organic wastes material and a method for recycling as a liquid fertilizer is disclosed, in which the parasites and pathogens are all annihilated, and the treatment can be carried out at a relatively low cost. The aerobic thermophilic digestion bacteria are added into a closed treatment tank, and the tank accommodates an organic wastes slurry which includes animal manure, kitchen waste, sewage and the like. Then the treatment tank is aerated for promoting the proliferation of the aerobic thermophilic digestion bacteria.  Thus, the organic wastes slurry is treated with a thermophilic fermentation. Then photo-tropic bacteria are added to convert the organic waste slurry into a liquid fertilizer. The slurry type organic waste are decomposed by utilizing the aerobic thermophilic digestion bacteria which stably flourishes at about 60°C.  Then the decomposing is continued by utilizing the photo-tropic bacteria, thereby finally obtaining the product in the form of a liquid fertilizer. The decomposing treatment can be continued for a long time at a high temperature, and the fermentation can be finished in a relatively short period of time without generating any foul odors.      Further, parasites and pathogens can all be annihilated.
