Abstract: The invention provides a radio frequency (RF) valve control system that replaces mechanical systems that physically links a button or a handle to a flush valve or hard wired electronic control systems that physically links a sensor/electronic switch to a valve actuator within a plumbing installation.  The new system is characterized by two modules, a user interface module (UIM) for locating at or adjacent a plumbing fixture (such as a water closet or urinal), and a valve interface module (VIM) operatively connected to a flush valve actuator or a valve in the water supply line of the plumbing fixture.  The UIM generally has the function of providing an RF valve control signal to the VIM and the VIM has the functions of receiving, analysing, and responding to the RF valve control signal and sending a signal to the valve actuator to initiate a flush cycle or initiating a valve control process to control a valve within the water supply line to start or stop water flow to the fixture.  The system may be deployed as a single UIM/VIM pair or as multiple UIMNIM  pairs within a multi-fixture installation. In each case, each UIMTVIM pair communicates with its respective UIM or VIM in both a learning and active mode.

Abstract: A database management system that has bitmap values in which set bits in a representation of a bitstring specify a set of objects whose definitions are built into the database management system. The database management system further includes user-accessible operations on the bitmap values. The bitmap values are represented by means of a mapping; specifier that specifies a range of the set of objects and a representation of a string of bits that has been mapped onto the set of object specified by the range specifier. The representation of the string of bits may be compressed. Bitmap operations on the values may alter the range specifier, the size of the string of bits, or individual bits in the string of bits. The objects represented by the bitmap values may be objects in the database management system or objects external thereto. An example of bitmap values of the first kind are bitmap values representing sets of rowids. rowid bitmap values may be used to make a user-defined index of attribute values for any set of objects contained in fields in the database management system. An example of bitmap values of the second kind are bitmap values representing sets of electronic product codes. ePC  bitmap values may be used in any application where a compact representation of a set of ePC codes is desired.

Title: Compositions et procedes de formation et de remodelage osseux
Inventor: LIU PENG
IPC: C12N5/095
Filed: 2005-05-18
Abstract: Le mécanisme au moyen duquel la mutation (G171V) de masse osseuse élevée (HBM) du co-récepteur Wnt LRP5 régularise la signalisation Wnt canonique a été étudié. Il a été préalablement démontré que la mutation réduisait l'antagonisme induit par la protéine Dkk1, laissant à penser que le premier domaine de répétition YWTD où se situe G171 peut être responsable de l'antagonisme induit par la protéine Dkk. Toutefois, on a trouvé que la troisième répétition YWTD, et non pas le premier domaine de répétition, est requise pour l'antagonisme induit par DKK1. Au lieu de cela, on a trouvé que la mutation G171V rompait l'interaction de LRP5 avec Mesd, une protéine chaperonne pour des molécules LRP5/6 qui est requise pour le transport du co-récepteur aux surfaces de la cellule, ce qui conduit à moins de molécules à la surface de la cellule. Bien que la réduction des molécules LRP5 au niveau de la surface de la cellule entraîne une réduction dans la signalisation Wnt dans un paradigme paracrine, la mutation ne semble pas affecter l'activité de Wnt co-expressé dans un paradigme autocrine. Du fait qu'on a observé, à la fois, que des cellules ostéoblastes produisent Wnt, Wnt7b canonique autocrine, et que des ostéocytes produisent de la paracrine Dkk1, on pense que la mutation G171V peut provoquer un accroissement de l'activité Wnt dans l'ostéoblaste par réduction du nombre de cibles pour la paracrine Dkk1 à antagoniser, sans affecter l'activité de l'autocrine Wnt.
