Abstract: L'invention concerne une séquence d'acides nucléiques de synthèse et un procédé pour exprimer, de manière sélective, une protéine dans une cellule ou un tissu cible d'un mammifère. L'expression sélective est mise en oeuvre en remplaçant au moins un codon existant d'une séquence d'acides nucléiques mère codant une protéine utile avec un codon synonyme pour produire une séquence d'acides nucléiques de synthèse présentant une cinétique de translation modifiée par rapport à la séquence d'acides nucléiques mère. Le codon synonyme est sélectionné de telle sorte qu'il correspond à un iso-ARNt qui, comparé à un iso-ARNt correspondant au moins à ce codon existant, se trouve plus en abondance dans la cellule ou le tissu cible que dans une ou plusieurs autres cellules ou tissus de ce mammifère.

Abstract: This invention concerns a method of increasing coding levels. In this method, an increase in levels is achieved with multi-level coding, where uninterrupted periodic sequences such as an alternating current of the same frequency and phase relation are provided as the code elements, and where the code elements are flagged with respect to one another by changes in amplitude; this increase in levels is achieved by the fact that the next code element begins or ends either with a positive or negative half-period, so that two levels can be marked with one code element. This has the effect, for example, that six levels are obtained instead of three. In numbers, this means that with three levels and two, three, four and five places there are 9, 27, 81 and 243 combinations, and with six levels and two, three four and five places there are 36, 216, 1296 and 7776 combinations.

Abstract: The description concerns a working method and system (200) for inspecting the liquid tightness of a floor (20) by increasing the pressure on the underside of the floor (20). To this end, according to the invention air is pumped directly under the floor and into the possible joints (22) so that no pressure loss takes place as a consequence of the ground (10) on which the floor (20) rests. A system for the execution of this working method can therefore have a simplified construction, and the installation of the system can be done in a simpler and faster manner. In a special variant embodiment the present invention even provides a fully mobile system (200) in which, apart from a possible cover plate (24), no parts remain behind at the measurement location, so that the system can be used at several locations and is therefore more profitable. <IMAGE>
