Patent EP-0889905-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LOPEZ ANGEL
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 1997-01-29
Abstract: A therapeutic agent capable of binding to the F'-G' loop of domain 4 of the common βc chain of the receptor for GM-CSF, IL-3 and IL-5. The amino acid Tyr421 which is located in the F'-G' loop is critical in the high affinity binding and stimulation of function of GM-CSF, IL-3 and IL-5 to the common β¿c? chain of their receptors. Other receptors for cytokines also show hydrophobic amino acids in analogous positions and it is probable that they too will play a pivotal role in binding of respective cytokines to them and in modulating function. Agents capable of binding to the F'-G' loops are suggested and should be a therapeutic value.

Abstract: A method estimating a property or parameter of a nucleic acid material, which property or parameter is one to which the electrical conductivity of the nucleic acid material is related, comprises measuring the electrical conductivity of the nucleic acid material, and estimating from the measurement the property or parameter of the material by reference to a predetermined relationship between electrical conductivity and said property or parameter. This is based on the discovery that there are certain important properties of nucleic acids, the quantitative determination of which is frequently desirable, which can be assessed by measurement of the conductivity of a solution of the nucleic acid or acids. Changes in such properties may be reflected in corresponding changes of electrical conductivity. The concentration of nucleic acid in solution and the molecular weight of a species of nucleic acid are examples of important property which may be determined.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tape printing apparatus for printing an image on an image receiving tape. In order to detect characteristics of the tape thus avoiding representation means on a tape cassette, it is proposed to have detecting means for detecting-markings provided on the image receiving tape, which provide information on a characteristic of the tape; and the tape printing apparatus is controlled in accordance with the detected characteristics. Alternatively, it is proposed to have monitoring means for monitoring the speed of the image receiving tape, which detect marking on the image receiving tape whereby the printing means is controlled in dependence on the detected speed. Consequently, the exact tape speed is considered for printing purposes, even when slippage between driving means and tape occurs.

Abstract: Dans le procédé selon l'invention, on fait appel à la spectroscopie par résonance magnétique protonique in vitro pour déterminer la concentration mesurable d'alcool éthylique dans des échantillons d'érythrocytes et de plasma, traités à l'alcool éthylique, de buveurs occasionnels et de buveurs excessifs. Un rapport entre la concentration d'alcool éthylique présentée par le plasma et celle présentée par les érythrocytes (102-122) est déterminé sur la base de la concentration d'alcool éthylique dans les érythrocytes mesurée par spectroscopie par résonance mangétique. Lorsque la concentration d'alcool éthylique dans les érythrocytes est déterminée par spectroscopie par résonance magnétique, les rapports entre la concentration d'alcool éthylique présentée par le plasma et celle présentée par les érythrocytes sont plus élevés pour les buveurs excessifs (un sous-ensemble de personnes tolérant l'alcool) que pour les buveurs occasionnels (personnes ne tolérant pas l'alcool). Le procédé selon la présente invention permet de faire la distinction entre les individus tolérant l'alcool et les individus ne tolérant par l'alcool, cette distinction étant fondée sur la grandeur du rapport obtenu entre la concentration d'alcool éthylique présentée par le plasma et celle présentée par les érythrocytes (124, 126).

Abstract: Procédé et catalyseur permettant d'oxyder directement une oléfine comportant trois atomes de carbone ou davantage, telle que le propylène, par l'oxygène, de façon à obtenir l'oxyde d'oléfine correspondant, tel que l'oxyde de propylène. Selon le procédé, on met en contact l'oléfine avec l'oxygène, dans des conditions de réaction, en présence d'hydrogène et d'un catalyseur. Ce dernier contient de l'or sur un support de titane dispersé sur de la silice. La phase titane est désorganisée et sensiblement dépourvue de dioxyde de titane cristallin, ainsi que le montrent les méthodes analytiques, telles que la microscopie électronique par transmission à haute résolution et la spectroscopie Raman. La sélectivité pour l'oxyde d'oléfine est élevée et la conversion de l'oléfine bonne. L'intervalle entre les régénérations du catalyseur est long et le catalyseur rapidement régénéré.

Abstract: A process of preparing a concentrate which is useful as a thickener for aqueous compositions is provided. The process comprises obtaining a solution of an associative thickener compound in an organic solvent capable of forming a low boiling azeotrope with water. The solution is essentially free of water at this point and is at a temperature above the boiling point of said low boiling azeotrope. Water is added to said solution and an azeotrope of water and said organic solvent is distilled. The rate of addition of water is sufficient to replace said azeotrope with water, but is insufficient to cause a second phase to form in the resulting mixture of said solution and said water. The process yields a concentrate of an associative thickener in water, which concentrate is essentially free of volatile organic solvents.

Abstract: A printhead structure and a method are used in direct electrostatic printing wherein streams of charged toner particles from a source of toner particles are directed onto an image carrier, such as a sheet of paper. A first set of print electrodes surround apertures through which the streams of toner particles flow. Voltages are selectively applied to the print electrodes to control the flow of toner particles through the respective apertures. A set of deflection electrodes are also associated with the apertures. Deflection voltages from at least one deflection voltage source are applied to the deflection electrodes to increase the convergence of the toner particles onto the information carrier and also to control the trajectories of the toner particles onto predetermined dot locations on the information carrier so that each aperture may provide toner particles to multiple lateral locations on the information carrier.

Abstract: Dans des données de code concaténées, des mots de code décodés correctement provenant d'un décodeur de blocs sont utilisés pour améliorer le rendement du décodeur convolutionnel. Un mot de code peut parfois être décodé correctement avant réception de tous les symboles du mot de code. Un décodage précoce du mot de code permet la recréation correcte du mot de code entier, même des symboles n'ayant pas encore été reçus. Le mot de code entier corrigé est utilisé par le décodeur convolutionnel afin d'éliminer les dérivations du treillis, améliorant ainsi le décodage de bits d'informations antérieures et de bits d'informations futures dans le treillis. La distance inverse de chaîne du décodeur convolutionnel peut également être raccourcie sur la base de la connaissance que certains des mots de code reçus ont été décodés correctement. Enfin, les symboles de parité n'ayant pas encore été reçus pour le mot de code décodé correctement peuvent être éliminés de la transmission afin d'améliorer le débit de transmission global.

Abstract: An ink jet recording apparatus, which is provided
with a blade (14) for wiping the surface of discharge
openings (13) of an ink jet recording head (3), and a blade
cleaner (17) for removing ink adhering to the blade (14),
comprises cleaning means (15) for cleaning the blade by
enabling the blade cleaner (17) and the blade (14) to reciprocate
correlatively. This cleaning means (15) is provided with
means for causing the blade cleaner (17) to be in
elastically contact with the blade (14) intensively without
rotating the blade cleaner (17) when the cleaning means (15)
moves forward, and for causing the blade cleaner (17) to
rotate to be in elastically contact with the blade (14)
weakly when the cleaning means (15) moves backward. With
the structure thus arranged, it is possible to reduce
the spreading of ink from the blade (14) into the interior
of the ink jet recording apparatus significantly.
Therefore, the surface of discharge openings (13) of the ink
jet recording head (3) can be cleaned by means of a blade (14)
in good condition to make it possible to operate
cleaning in the most suitable mode.
