Title: Nuclear male sterile plants, method of producing same and methods to restore fertility
Inventor: GODDIJN OSCAR JOHANNES MARIA
IPC: C12N1/21
Filed: 1998-10-30
Abstract: The present invention is directed to the production of male sterile plants by providing them with a recombinant DNA capable of specific expression in the male reproductive system of a plant of the enzyme trehalose phosphate phosphatase (TPP). Restoration of the fertility can be established either by providing said male sterile plants with a recombinant DNA capable of expression of trehalose phosphate synthase (TPS) under control of an inducible promoter or with a recombinant DNA capable of expression of a suppressor protein which suppresses expression of TPP under control of an inducible promoter. This inducible restoration possibilities enable the maintenance of a homozygous male sterile line. Restoration can also be done by spraying the male sterile plants with gibberellic acid. For production of hybrids or hybrid seed a site-specific recombination system is provided, by inserting two sitespecific recombination sites flanking the recombinant DNA coding for TPP and crossing the male sterile lines with lines expressing the corresponding recombinase. By crossing the recombinase will excise the gene coding for TPP and fertile hybrids are produced.

Title: Content addressable memory having read/write capabilities that do not interrupt continuous search cycles
Inventor: AVRAMESCU RADU
IPC: G11C15/04
Filed: 2000-09-08
Abstract: A content addressable memory (CAM) is provided. The CAM includes a search port for performing search operations at each clock cycle and a maintenance port for writing and reading data to address locations of the content addressable memory. An interlock signal is also provided and is communicated from the search port to the maintenance port to establish when writing and reading of data is to be performed to the content addressable memory so that the search operations continue uninterrupted at each clock cycle.  Preferably, the interlock signal is communicated at an end of a search operation and at a beginning of a search pre-charge operation. The maintenance port is configured to set-up a writing operation at a beginning of a clock cycle and execute the write operation at the end of the search operation and the beginning of the search pre-charge operation. In another preferred example, search operations can be deselected at any time, yet any desired writing and reading operation can still be executed. At anytime therefore, the search operations can resume operation at each cycle, without being affected by a read or write operation.

Title: Procede de connexion d'une fibre optique a un guide d'onde optique
Inventor: BEGUIN ALAIN M J
IPC: G02B27/09
Filed: 1999-04-09
Abstract: L'invention concerne un joint par fusion entre un guide (1a) d'onde et une fibre (2) optique, que l'on crée en exposant l'interface (4) entre la fibre optique et le guide d'onde au rayonnement d'un faisceau laser. La distribution spatiale de l'énergie fournie à l'interface présente une zone centrale où l'énergie est réduite par rapport à une zone périphérique, ce qui permet d'utiliser un laser à énergie relativement haute tout en évitant de fléchir le guide d'onde. On provoque l'irradiation du guide d'onde par le faisceau laser à une densité d'énergie supérieure à celle de la fibre optique, généralement en décalant le centre du faisceau laser vers le guide d'onde. La fusion est réalisée lorsqu'une force F rapproche le guide d'onde et la fibre optique de manière à éviter la création d'un vide au niveau de la jonction. Il est possible d'utiliser un joint polymère ou minéral supplémentaire. L'invention concerne également un procédé permettant le raccordement queue de cochon multifibre par fusion de plusieurs fibres optiques à leurs zones de guide d'onde respectives dans un guide d'onde planaire, lequel procédé consiste à utiliser un élément optique (130) diffracteur pour produire une distribution d'énergie multiple.

Title: Compositions and methods for inhibiting bone resorption
Inventor: SCOLNICK EDWARD M
IPC: A61K31/66
Filed: 1999-06-21
Abstract: A new detection scheme for time-of-flight mass spectrometers is disclosed.  This detection scheme allows extending the dynamic range of spectrometers operating with a counting technique (TDC). The extended dynamic range is achieved by constructing the multiple anode detector wherein the individual anodes (46 and 47) detect different fractions of the incoming particles (6 and 8). Different anode fractions are achieved by varying the size, physical location, and electrical/magnetic fields of the various anodes. An anode with a small anode fraction avoids saturation and allows an ion detector to render an accurate count of ions even for abundant species.

Inventor: FAST RUDY BOBBY
IPC: E03D9/052
Filed: 2001-02-20
Abstract: It is common for a household to have a toilet in the bathroom. The odours associated with the use of such a facility are normally vented through a fan in the ceiling of the room. This is very inefficient, since the room fills with the offending odour, and then all the air in the room is evacuated by the ceiling fan over a period of 15 minutes or so.      In winter, the replacement air needs to be heated, and the fan and furnace must use electricity and gas to accomplish the task.        It is much more prudent to ventilate the toilet, capturing the odour as it is generated in the small space of the toilet bowl, preventing contamination of the room air. This would add to the comfort of the occupant, and save considerable energy.
