Patent EP-1033574-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SMART JOHN E
IPC: C12Q1/02
Filed: 1992-08-28
Abstract: The invention provides a method of identifying a tissue source of epithelial cells that
express a cellular gene encoding a polypeptide, the amino acid sequence of which
comprises
   (I) a sequence having at least 70% amino acid sequence homology
with the C-terminal seven-cysteine domain of human OP-1, residues 38-139
of SEQ ID No. 5, or   (II) a sequence defined by generic sequence 6, SEQ ID No. 31, 
said polypeptide, when dimerized with a second said polypeptide, forming a
protein having the property of inducing a developmental cascade of tissue-specific
morphogenesis in a mammal, said method further being a method of
screening a candidate compound for the ability to modulate expression of said
gene, said method comprising the steps of:
   (a) incubating at least two preparations comprising epithelial cells
derived from at least two different tissues of an organism with a compound
shown to modulate expression of said gene for a time sufficient to allow said
compound to affect the expression of said gene;   (b) assaying said at least two preparations of cells for the presence
or amount of an expression product of said gene, wherein a change in the level
of said expression product relative to the level thereof in said at least two
preparations of cells in the absence of said compound identifies cells wherein
a change occurred as a tissue source of epithelial cells suitable for screening a
candidate compound for the ability to modulate expression of said gene;    (c) incubating said candidate compound with epithelial cells cultured
from the tissue source for which a change in the level of gene expression was
observed in step (b), for a time sufficient to allow said candidate compound to
affect the expression of said gene; and   (d) assaying said cultured epithelial cells for the presence or amount
of an expression product of said gene, wherein a change in the level of said
expression product relative to the level thereof in said cultured epithelial cells
in the absence of said candidate compound is indicative of the ability of said
compound to modulate expression of said gene in said cultured epithelial cells.

Abstract: At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated according to an input signal for producing relevant signal points in a signal space diagram. The input signal is divided into, two, first and second, data streams. The signal points are divided into signal point groups to which data of the first data stream are assigned. Also, data of the second data stream are assigned to the signal points of each signal point group. A difference in the transmission error rate between first and second data streams is developed by shifting the signal points to other positions in the space diagram expressed at least in the polar coordinate system. At the receiver side, the first and/or second data streams can be reconstructed from a received signal. In TV broadcast service, a TV signal is divided by a transmitter into, low and high, frequency band components which are designated as a first and a second data streams respectively. Upon receiving the TV signal, a receiver can reproduce only the low frequency band component or both the low and high frequency band components, depending on its capability. Furthermore, a communication system based on an QFDM system is utilized for data transmission of a plurality of subchannels, wherein the subchannels are differentiated by changing the length of a guard time slot or a carrier wave interval of a symbol transmission time slot, or changing the transmission electric power of the carrier.

Abstract: Disclosed is a continuously variable transmission in
which when a shaft torque is secured by the belt friction
force generated by externally pressing a pulley, the
disablement of transmission caused by a belt rolling-in
phenomenon within a pulley resulting from instability of
the friction force or the friction coefficient as the
pressing force is applied, or the deterioration of
efficiency caused by the short or surplus of the friction
force of input and output pulleys in a big ratio area are
overcome, as a consequence of which the stable friction
transmission with high efficiency can be achieved without
depending on the kind of belts such as a tension type or a
compression type. According to the continuously variable
transmission, an input operating unit comprising a pressing
device for supplying to the input pulley the elastic force
generated by compressing in series an elastic device by a
compressing device and a driving source for variably
pressing and controlling the input pulley according to a
instruction of a controlling device controls the friction
force of the input pulley by the variable pressing control
for supplying the elastic force, as a consequence of which
the shaft torque of the output pulley in the state that a
V-belt is in a substantially non-pressing state is
indirectly variably controlled via belt tension.

performed. A process of cross-over for selecting a pair
of patterns from a group consisted of mutated patterns
and initial patterns to substitute matrices in the pattern
pair are performed. A process of selection for selecting
highest patterns having optical characteristics closer

patterns, mutated pattern group, and crossed over pattern
group is performed. Then an algorithm process comprised
of a sequence of the above process steps is repeated with
respect to the predetermined number of selected patterns
until the optical characteristics of final selected
patterns fall into the desired error range for the desired
optical characteristics, thereby producing the best
multilayered optical filter.
