Abstract: The present invention provides a co-activator for
prekallikrein and a prekallikrein-activating method in the
absence of FXIIa by using the co-activator which is selected
from the group consisting of heat shock protein 90, a
phosphate ion and mixtures thereof. The prekallikrein co-activator
of the present invention represents a part of an  in
vitro  system for activating prekallikrein, the system
comprising said activator as well as a high-molecular weight
kininogen and zinc ion. The present invention also comprises
a method for activating prekallikrein in the presence of said
prekallikrein activator to produce kallikrein, the method
being useful in a method for screening the activity of a
substance to act as a modulator of the production of
kallikrein in the absence of FXIIa. The method of the
present invention for activating prekallikrein in the absence
of FXIIa comprises activating prekallikrein by mixing
prekallikrein with the prekallikrein co-activator, a
composition comprising high molecular weight kininogen, and
zinc ions. A method for screening the activity of a test
substance for the production of kallikrein comprises
activating prekallikrein, and determining quantitatively the
kallikrein produced in said reaction. In the activity
measuring method of the present invention, the activity (a
promoting or inhibiting ability) of the tested substance or
drug against the production of kallikrein in the absence of
FXIIa can be easily, simply, reliably, quickly and precisely
measured.

Abstract: A decoding apparatus generates error position sets of data
sequence by generating a codeword from positions of soft input
values output from a low reliability position detecting circuit
(38) and from syndromes computed by a syndrome calculation
circuit (40). The recording apparatus further includes a
codeword candidate generating circuit (43) that computes
correlation mismatch amounts by adding soft input values at the
error positions contained in the error position sets, and
updates the correction information according to the error
position sets and correlation mismatch amounts. The decoding
apparatus can calculate the soft output values accurately by
utilizing the generated codeword candidates efficiently, and
reduce the circuit scale by decreasing the amount of
computation.

Abstract: An inner rotatable shaft 16 is located within an outer
rotatable shaft 18. A stator 52 is provided around the
shaft 18. The shaft 18 has a circumferential ring of
regions 54a,54b alternately of relatively high and
relatively low magnetic permeability. Flux is therefore
transmitted between the stator 52 and the shaft 16 through
the regions 54, preferentially through the high
permeability regions 54a. Commutation of the stator
windings, preferably in synchrony with the speed of
rotation of the shaft 18, allows the stator 52 and shaft 16
to interact in the form of an active magnetic bearing. The
affect of the presence of the shaft 18 on this interaction
is significantly reduced or eliminated.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif destinés à réaliser une compression de données adaptative. Un alphabet et un vocabulaire dans le codeur et le décodeur sont conçus de manière adaptative et stockés dans un dictionnaire sous la forme de symboles à coder et à décoder. Lorsqu'un symbole inconnu doit être codé par le codeur, celui-ci ajoute le symbole au dictionnaire et le transmet en clair dans la séquence codée. Les mots de code transmis par le codeur comprennent des symboles et des index. L'état d'un bit de préfixe précédant le mode de code indique si le mot de code est un symbole en clair ou un index d'un symbole ou d'une séquence de symboles stockés dans le dictionnaire. Le décodeur examine le bit de préfixe de chaque mot de code lors de sa réception en vue de déterminer si le mot de code contient un symbole en clair ou un index. Si le mot de code contient un symbole en clair, le décodeur apprend ce symbole par ajout d'une séquence de symboles résultant de la concaténation de symboles préalablement décodés et du premier symbole du symbole en cours de décodage, puis par ajout dudit symbole dans son dictionnaire. Si le mot de code contient un index, le décodeur décode le mot de code par extraction du symbole ou de la séquence de symboles stockés dans le dictionnaire au niveau de l'index respectif dans le dictionnaire.

Abstract: The present invention provides a gas discharge laser having at least one long-life elongated electrode for producing at least 12 billion high voltage electric discharges in a fluorine containing laser gas. In a preferred embodiment at least one of the elctrodes is comprised of a first material having a relatively low anode erosion rate and a second anode material having a relatively higher anode erosion rate. The first anode material (42) is positioned at a desired anode discharge region of the electrode. The second anode material (40) is located adjacent to the first anode material (42) along at least two long sides of the first material (42). During operation of the laser erosion occurs on both materials but the higher erosion rate of the second material (40) assures that any tendency of the discharge to spread onto the second material (40) will quickly erode away the second material (40) enough to stop the spread of the discharge. In a preferred embodiment the anode is as described above and the cathode is also a two-material electrode with the first material at the discharge region being C26000 brass and the second material being C36000 brass. A pulse power system provides electrical pulses at rates of at least 1 KHz. A blower circulates laser gas between the electrodes at speeds of at least 5 m/s and a heat exchanger is provided to remove heat produced by the blower and the discharges.
