Title: The production method of transgenic porcine producing human eryhropoietin and the transgenic porcine
Inventor: CHANG WON-KYONG
IPC: A01K67/027
Filed: 2000-06-28
Abstract: Disclosed are transgenic porcine capable of secreting human erythropoietin (EPO) in their milk and the preparation thereof. For the preparation of the transgenic porcine, a 2.6 kb WAP promoter from the mammary gland of a rat is first amplified by PCR. Along with this PCR product, the human EPO genome DNA fragment and an SV40 poly A DNA fragment are used to construct an expression vector. Separately, PMSG and human chorionic gonadotrophic (hCG) hormone are administered into porcine by intramuscular injection to induce porcine to ovulate excessively and the porcine were led to natural mating. From the porcine, the fertilized eggs in the first cell differentiation period are collected. Next, the expression vector is injected into male pronuclei which are immediately transplanted in surrogate mother porcine. The surrogate mother porcine are allowed to give birth to litters. Therefore, the present invention can produce the expensive medicine human EPO at low costs on a large scale, giving a contribution to the improving of human health.

Title: Selecting between a de-interlaced signal and a delayed progressive signal dependent on the type of input signal detected
Inventor: BOCK ALOIS MARTIN
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 2004-02-19
Abstract: An apparatus for automatically detecting and selecting between progressively scanned and interlaced signals has an input video signal 11 applied to a progressive frame detector 12, a de-interlacer 14 and a compensating delay 13 which has the same latency as the de-interlacer 14. The progressive frame detector determines if the input video signal is an interlaced signal or a progressively scanned signal. If it is determined that the applied signal is interlaced, then output from the de-interlacer 14 is selected. If, on the other hand, it is determined that the applied signal is progressively scanned, then the input video signal is selected after passing through the compensating delay. In both instances, the selected output is a progressive video signal 19 which may be transmitted if the device is used in an encoder or applied to a display device if the apparatus is used in a decoder.

Title: An induced heteroduplex generator
Inventor: TILLEY LOUISE ANNE
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2005-10-10
Abstract: An induced heteroduplex generator (IHG) probe which is a synthetic DNA sequence including at least one nucleotide position corresponding to a known polymorphism in a genomic DNA sequence, characterised in that the IHG includes an identifier comprising at least one nucleotide substitution, deletion and/or insertion relative to the genomic sequence nucleotide position spaced by a distance of at least one base from the polymorphic nucleotide position and where the nucleotides between the polymorphic site and the identifier sequence are unchanged from the genomic sequence. Spacing the identifier apart from the nucleotide position immediately adjacent to the polymorphism to be genotyped results in improved resolution of heteroduplexes on gels.

Title: Personal identification method by subcutaneous bloodstream measurement and personal identification device
Inventor: FUJII HITOSHI
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2005-05-31
Abstract: A personal identification method and device for identifying a person with high accuracy by using a fingerprint pattern extracted by using the property that the subcutaneous bloodstream distribution is spatially modulated with the ridge-and recess pattern of the fingertip. The method characterized by measuring the subcutaneous bloodstream comprises (1) a step of applying an expanded laser beam to the inner surface of a blood vessel layer under the skin onto an image sensor as a laser speckle by using an optical system, (2) a step of determining the reciprocal of variation rate of the amount of received light integrated with a measure indicating the rate of variation with time of the amount of light received by each pixel of the laser speckle, such as a two-dimensional map using the reciprocal, (3) a step of comparing the fingerprint pattern expressed as a bloodstream map with the previously recorded personal data and making a judgement. The personal identification device has means for executing the above steps.
Patent GB-2432894-A (GB)
Title: A sensor system for an in-line inspection tool
Inventor: COUCHMAN PETER
IPC: F16L101/30
Filed: 2005-12-05
Abstract: In an in-line pipe inspection tool, sensors for sensing a magnetic field (12f; figures 2 and 3) for inspecting the pipe are mounted on sensor blocks 12 moveable relative to the body 10 of the tool. When the sensor blocks 12 move radially to conform to different pipe diameters, the circumferential distances between the sensors changes. To enable these changes in diameter, the sensor blocks 12 are mounted on a carrier, which preferably comprises a plurality of support parts 14 connected by a deformable link 15. The carrier has a variable circumferential length, thereby accommodating variation of the circumferential spacing between the spacer blocks. In a further aspect, to ameliorate the effect of the different circumferential distances between the sensors, the sensor blocks 12 have a shape such that one axial edge of each sensor block circumferentially overlaps the opposite edge of an adjacent sensor block. With such an arrangement, when the sensor blocks 12 are operating at minimum diameter, part of one sensor block 12 will overlap an adjacent block 12, in the circumferential direction. As the diameter of the pipeline in which the pig is used increases, the degree of overlap will reduce, and may even reduce to zero, but there will still be no overall axial gaps between the sensor blocks. Thus, by suitable shaping of the sensor blocks the tool can be used with a wide range of pipe diameters.
