Abstract: An interference checking method for checking the interference between two objects in the shape of non-convex polyhedrons, comprising the steps of producing a convex hull for each of the non-convex polyhedrons, and checking the interference of the convex hull of one object with the convex hull of the other object; covering each of polygons which constitute each of the non-convex polyhedrons with a plurality of leaf spheres which have a predetermined radius and which are arranged on each polygon when the distance between the convex hulls becomes not more than a preset value, and sequentially enveloping the leaf spheres with hierarchical spheres so as to produce a binary tree of hierarchical envelope spheres; obtaining a pair of nearby spheres closest by checking the interference between envelope spheres of an upper grade on the basis of the structure of the binary tree, disassembling the interfering envelope spheres into envelope spheres of a lower grade, checking the interference between the envelope spheres of the lower grade, and repeating the interference check process and the disassembly process until no interference is detected; obtaining a nearby polygon pair which corresponds to the pair of nearby spheres; and checking the interference between the nearby polygon pair.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for making an expression vector which produces a biological active receptor. The method includes synthesizing a linker having the carboxyl six amino acids of ubiquitin and an internal restriction site and cloning the synthesized linker to form a plasmid. The plasmid is then digested with a restriction endonuclease which is compatible with the internal restriction site in the synthesized linker. After the digestion of the plasmid a cDNA coding for the receptor is inserted into the compatible restriction site and the plasmid is then used to transform yeast. In the procedure, the yeast that is usually used is from the strains of Saccharomyce and Aspergillus. In addition, numerous vectors which express the human vitamin D receptor, human androgen receptor, human progesterone receptor, thyroid receptor, retinoic acid receptor, chicken progesterone receptor, chicken vitamin D receptor, rat vitamin D receptor and COUP protein are described. A further aspect of the invention is the reporter vector which includes the proximal promoter element of the yeast iso-l-cytochrome C and a structural gene selected from  E .  coli  either the ö-Galactosidase gene or the Galactokinase gene. The reporter vector is used to detect for agonist and antagonists for the steroid hormone receptor. A further element of the invention is a chimera made up of the DNA binding domain from one receptor and the hormone binding domain from another receptor. The chimera is used in an assay to identify the function of the unknown receptor component. Additional aspects are clinical and laboratory assays for biological compounds using the receptors synthesized from the expression vectors and using receptor vectors.

In a second embodiment, the nose has a longitudinal slot to provide a split nose tip, and the split nose tip has an enlarged burred end to securely engage the hub and nose together. This second embodiment is preferably utilized in combination with an elastic tube as described, or can be used also without such an elastic tube. In another embodiment, the nose has a longitudinally tapered nose tip, and the tapered nose tip has an enlarged burred end to securely engage the hub and nose together. In a further embodiment, the nose has an internal undercut in which an elastic plug is secured which is positioned between the catheter hub and nose. The elastic plug has a through hole having a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the catheter needle, such that when the needle is inserted into the through hole, the outer diameter of the elastic plug is expanded, such that the hub and nose are securely engaged together by an interference fit between the hub and the elastic plug.

Abstract: A multi-port RAM (random access memory) including an array of RAM cells. Each RAM cell has a core cell with a single-ended, pseudo-differential write access port and differential, indirect access read ports. The architecture of the features of the multi-port RAM allows direct scaling of the number of write and read access ports to any practical limit with no adverse effects on cell stability margins and therefore data integrity. Also, disclosed is a design detail for an innovative time multiplexed read port architecture implemented as part of a high-speed 9-port time slot interchange random access memory. It provides a practical, high-speed, low-power and area efficient read port structure to allow eight random access reads per clock cycle. Because all timing is internally generated from a single rising clock transition of a system clock signal, no special control or clocking is required externally to the memory.

Abstract: A procedure and system for setting rates between two predetermined subscriptions in a telephone network without the necessity of substantial system changes to the telephone network. Calls between two predetermined subscriptions can be rated according to a special tariff and changes can be easily and flexibly included in the normal invoicing. When the number of subscriptions per customer is limited to two, the common call number for all customers is the same, e.g. 020100. When this number is dialed, the call is directed to the wired network subscription specified in the subscriber number pair, which is stored in a database, when the call is made from a mobile station, and vice versa. When the number of subscriptions connected to the system by the customer is greater than two, the common call number comprises a prefix part which is the same for all customers and on the basis of which the telephone network exchange recognizes the service call of intelligent network calls and specially rated calls, and a suffix part which is an integer and which, via the intelligent network, determines the desired individual subscription among subscriptions selected to be included in the system by the customer.
