Title: Telemetry system and method for emi susceptibility testing of motor vehicles
Inventor: SWENSON ERIC T
IPC: G01R31/00
Filed: 2000-03-03
Abstract: A data transmission system for external use with a controller area network is installed on a motor vehicle (13) undergoing high intensity electromagnetic interference susceptibility testing. The data transmission system includes a fiber optic cable extending from the immediate vicinity of the truck (13) to a site relatively remote to the truck and out of the effective area of the artificially generated electromagnetic interference. An optical/electrical coupler (40) in close proximity to the motor vehicle is connected to the vehicle controller area network to convert messages occurring on the network to optical signals. The connection is provided by an electrical cable constructed of a twisted pair of wires (18). The optical/electrical coupler (40) is also connected to an end of the fiber optic cable in the vicinity of the truck (13). A remote data processing device is attached to the remote end of the fiber optic cable by an interface card (42) installed in the remote data processing device (44). The interface card (42) converts optical signals to controller area network (18) compatible electrical signals for evaluation.

Abstract: A surface-modified article is formed of an elastomeric matrix, such as a glove shape, and a plurality of fine silica particles affixed to at least a portion of the surface of the matrix, the outside surface in the case of the glove.  The fine silica particles increase the coefficient of friction of the article surface. The fine silica particles may also be made electrically conductive, so that static charge at the surface of the article is dissipated. The silica particles are applied by mixing them into a coating composition, applying the coating composition to the surface of a mold, and solidifying a flowable elastomeric composition against the coated surface.

Abstract: Methods of genetically manipulating biologically active 4'-O-methylated isoflavonoids have been found based upon the regiospecifity of isoflavone 7- OMT in vivo. Upon transformation and expression of an isoflavonoid O- methyltransferase gene, up-regulation of IOMT in the transgenic plants can b e used to increase the accumulation of 4'-O-methylated isoflavonoid phytolalexins, providing for increased disease resistance to the plant. Similar methods can be used to increase accumulation of 4'-O-methylated isoflavonoid nutraceuticals in plants. For down-regulation of IOMT in plants  that naturally make 4'O-isoflavonoid phytoalexins and 4'-O- methylated isoflavonoid nutraceuticals, IOMT gene sequences can be transform ed in the antisense orientation.

Title: Semi-solid concentration processing of metallic alloys
Inventor: HAY GARY
IPC: H04M1/72445
Filed: 2000-07-26
Abstract: A metallic alloy is processed by cooling the metallic alloy from an initial metallic alloy elevated temperature to a semi-solid temperature below the liquidus temperature of the alloy and above the solidus temperature, and maintaining the metallic alloy at the semi-solid temperature for a sufficient time to produce a semi-solid structure in the metallic alloy of a globular solid phase dispersed in a liquid phase. The cooling may be accomplished by providing a crucible at a crucible initial temperature below the solidus temperature, pouring the metallic alloy into the crucible, and allowing the metallic alloy and the crucible to reach a thermal equilibrium between the liquidus temperature and the solidus temperature of the metallic alloy. The method may further include removing at least some, but not all, of the liquid phase present in the semi-solid structure of the metallic alloy to form a solid-enriched semi-solid structure of the metallic alloy, and forming the metallic alloy having the solid-enriched semi-solid structure into a shape.

Title: Site diversity method, method for receiving digital satellite broadcast, and receiver for digital satellite broadcast
Inventor: FUJII TAKANORI
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 2000-12-19
Abstract: A site diversity method for quick re-synchronization by decreasing the difference between the data transmission timing outputted from a main statio n and that outputted from a sub-station when a site is changed, a method for receiving a digital satellite broadcast, and a receiver for digital satellit e broadcast are disclosed.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé de dépistage du cancer permettant un diagnostic sans risque, fiable, peu coûteux et à invasion minimale. Selon ce procédé, on récupère d'abord les cellules au moyen de dispositifs non invasifs et à invasion minimale. Puis on stocke les cellules récupérées dans un milieu de culture cellulaire pour les maintenir viables. On introduit dans les cellules mises en culture un composé chimique tel que 5-ALA et on incube les cellules sur une certaine durée de sorte qu'il y ait interaction entre le composé chimique introduit et les cellules récupérées. On examine ensuite les cellules placées sous un microscope à fluorescence qui émet une fréquence spécifique de lumière correspondant à la fréquence d'excitation de la lumière qui serait émise par des cellules anormales. Les cellules prémalignes et malignes vont fluorescer en réponse à l'interaction avec le composé introduit et la fréquence spécifique de lumière, alors que les cellules normales saines ne vont pas fluorescer. Si besoin, on peut faire passer les cellules récupérées dans un cytomètre de flux pour identifier plus facilement les cellules fluorescentes. Il est possible de réaliser un diagnostic anticipé du cancer à partir de la présence ou l'absence des cellules fluorescentes. Si un échantillon cellulaire est concentré de manière appropriée, il n'est pas nécessaire d'utiliser un trieur de cellules et l'échantillon cellulaire peut être simplement observé sous le microscope à fluorescence. L'invention porte également sur des techniques spécifiques de collecte non invasive et de collecte à invasion minimale des cellules. Chacune de ces techniques minimise les traumas et ne font appel à aucun type d'incision pour le prélèvement de tissus comme dans les biopsies traditionnelles.
