Patent EP-1113078-A1 (EP)
Inventor: WATANABE TSUNEHIKO
IPC: G16B25/10
Filed: 2000-11-24
Abstract: The present invention provides methods for extracting
similar expression patterns and related biopolymers
considering natures that are characteristic of expression
data of, for example, genes. 
     A segment of experiment cases which includes an
expression of interest is selected as a search range among an
expression pattern of a reference gene or the like. By
comparing the selected segment of the expression pattern with
expression patterns of a group of candidate genes or the like,
genes having an expression pattern with at least a partial
similarity are searched from the group of candidate genes. A
partially taken out curve (a part of an expression pattern)
is transferred to overlap an expression pattern curve of a
candidate gene to search expression patterns with a similar
pattern shape.

addition of hot water over a period of 3-5 minutes. The method
of the invention involves a sequence of steps including a first
soaking step at ambient temperature, a first steaming step, a hot
water spraying step at an elevated temperature compared to the

Abstract: Resource requests made by clients or origin severs in a network are intercepted by reflector
mechanisms and selectively reflected to other severs called repeaters. The reflectors select a
best repeater from a set of possible repeaters and redirect the client to the selected best
repeater. The client then makes the request of the selected best repeater. The resource is
possibly rewritten to replace at least some of the resource identifiers contained therein with
modified resource identifiers designating the repeater instead of the origin server.

Abstract: A multi-channel balun  (70, 72)  blocks stray RF current from flowing on shield conductors
of coaxial RF cables of a magnetic resonance apparatus. The balun comprises a parallel
combination of an even number of helical coils of shielded transmission cable  (L10, L12;
L14, L16, L18, L20)  wound in alternate directions such that voltages induced by their
external RF fields cancel. One capacitor  (C10; C16, C18)  is connected in parallel
symmetrically with each pair of helical coils, with trim capacitors  (C12; C22)  fixed in the
coil plug  (86, 90)  to retune the balun as required. The multi-channel balun  (70, 72) 
accommodates magnetic resonance systems with an odd or even number of channels
without requiring shielding. Preferably, the balun  (70, 72)  is constructed on a single circuit
board in a close-packed relationship that is compact and space efficient, yet provides better
decoupling from the transmit field.
