Abstract: A new class of chemiluminescent acridinium or benzacridinium compounds is disclosed by virtue of forming an intramolecular energy transfer conjugate (ETC) between the acridinium or benzacridinium compound and a luminophore. A method of extending the emission wavelengths of acridinium or benzacridinium esters in order to further reduce or eliminate the emission spectral overlap between the parent polysubstituted aryl Acridinium Esters (DMAE) and Benzacridinium Esters (LEAE) is disclosed. The ETC's retain the unique desired properties of acridinium or benzacridinium compounds including complete light emission in very short period of time, monophasic emission spectrum, simplicity of triggering mechanism, ability of labeling the biological molecules of interest to form a tracer, and good stability. Additionally, the range of the emission spectrum of an acridinium or benzacridinium compound can now be shifted at will and at longer leap through the choice of a luminophore as the integral part of an ETC molecule. Disclosed are chemiluminescent labeled conjugates comprising an acridinium or benzacridinium moiety covalently attached to a luminophore via a spacer, said moiety further conjugated to a biological molecule of interest, wherein said spacer is of an appropriate length to allow the excited species generated from said moiety to transfer energy efficiently to said luminophore, resulting in the emission of light in the spectral region of said luminophore. Also disclosed are binding assays using said conjugates, test kits comprising said conjugates and methods of preparing the conjugates.

Abstract: The present invention is a novel and improved method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving code division multiple access (CDMA) signals. In a described embodiment of the invention, the radio frequency (RF) signals are received through a first polarization RF unit and a second polarization RF unit generating right slant samples and left slant samples. The right slant samples and the left slant samples are each searched and multipath processed independently and the resulting sets of soft decision data combined and decoded. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, right slant and left slant instances of the signal are generated and transmitted to increase the likelihood of differently polarized instances of the signal being available at the receive system.

Abstract: The present invention provides an intra-oral anchorage which comprises a flexible belt that extends around and between the teeth of a patient. The belt has locking means fixed thereon to receive a free end portion of the belt and lock said portion against retraction therefrom. The locking means is in the form of a buckle. The intra-oral anchorage of the present invention can be used to hold a jaw in a fixed position, in the case of a broken jaw for example. It offers ease of application and therefore a reduction in the cost of surgery as well as eliminating the risk of "needle stick" injury inherent with cutting and bending multiple ends of wire. It causes less gum damage in placement and removal, which is similarly easier, faster and less uncomfortable for the patient.

Abstract: A novel multiple channel architecture (265) is designed to allow targeted advertising directed to television terminals (220) connected to an operations center (202) or a cable headend (208). Program channels carry television programs. The invention uses upstream data reception hardware (262, 275, 297), databases (301) and processing hardware (285, 293) and software to accomplish these functions. During commercial breaks in the television programs, advertisements, which are also broadcast on the program channel, are displayed. However, additional feeder channels carry alternate advertising that may be better suited for certain viewing audiences. The operations center (202) or the cable headend (208) generate a group assignment plan (293, 299) that assigns the television terminals (220) to groups, based on factors such as area of dominant influence and household income. A switching plan (291) is then generated that instructs the television terminals (220) to remain with the program channel or to switch to one of the altemate feeder channels during the program breaks. The television terminals (220) record which channels were viewed during the program breaks, and report this information to the cable headend (208) and the operations center (202). The reported information is used to generate billing for commercial advertisers, and to analyze viewer watching habits.

Abstract: Lipo Chitooligosaccharide (LCO) [NodBj-V(C18:1,Mefuc)] isolated from Bradyrhizobium japonicum strain 532C was able to stimulate seed germination/seedling emergence, or in the case of potato, sprouting, of a number of crop plants representing eight distantly related plant families (Poaceae, Fabaceae, Brassicaceae, Cucurbitaceac, Malvaceae, Asteraceae, Chenopodiaceae and Solanaceae) of plants, at 25 and/or at 15° C. It also promoted sprouting potato minitubers. Other LCOs [NodRM-V(C<SUB>16:2,5</SUB>) and LCO from R. leguminosarum] were also shown to also display growth-promoting effects on the tested crop plants. The compositions comprising at least one LCO are shown to be effective in promoting growth under both laboratory and field conditions. The invention thus also relates to methods for promoting seed germination and/or seedling emergence and/or growth of plants comprising subjecting the seeds and/or plants to an effective amount of an agricultural composition comprising at least one LCO.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method, an exchange, a telecommunication system and a mobile station for providing a temporary selective national roaming at predetermined network operation conditions, e.g. at network overload in a mobile radio communication system. A first switching means (MSC/VLR) of a home network (HPLMN) performs a negotiation with a second switching means (MSC/VLR') of another network (VPLMN) which has free capacity to handle mobile stations (MS1-MS4) of the first network (HPLMN) which cannot be handled by said first network (HPLMN) during e.g. an overload condition occuring therein. When e.g. the overload condition occurs, a request message (RM) is first sent to the second switching means (MSC/VLR') in order to enquire whether the second network (VPLMN) has enough free capacity to take over mobile stations (MS1-MS4) from the first network (HPLMN). Thus, it can be ensured that mobile stations (MS1-MS4) of the first network (HPLMN) do not cause an overload condition in the second network (VPLMN) when they have been registered in the second network (VPLMN) and receive a service therein.

The gateway device (GD) is able to establish a connection (C3) to an external resource server (ERS) upon a request from the network client (NC) to access a certain external resource (ER) located on the external resource server (ERS). The gateway device (GD) is located between the network client (NC) and the external resource server (ERS). It comprises a gateway server (GS) and at least one content server (CS), wherein upon receipt of the request, the gateway server (GS) verifies whether the network client (NC) has an established connection to the content server (CS), or has had an established connection to the content server (CS) within a predetermined lapse of time. If the network client (NC) has - or has had - an established connection to the content server (CS), the gateway server (GS) establishes a connection (C3) to the external resource server (ERS). If the network client (NC) does not have - or has not had - an established connection to the content server (CS), the gateway server (GS) establishes a connection to the content server (CS), before establishing a connection (C3) to the external resource server (ERS).

Abstract: A mobile cellular telephone network is arranged such that calls are routed to a selected member of a group of handsets associated with a single number. The handset to which the call is routed is selected according to the current locations of the handsets, preference being given to handsets currently located within a predetermined cell or group of cells. This allows calls to be automatically routed to whichever handset is currently located in a cell where call tariffs are most favourable. Diversion arrangements can be made to allow cells to be re-routed when none of the handsets is detected within the specified group of cells.

In this embodiment, APC are required to directly access tumor antigens as they exist in vivo within the patient. A further embodiment of the present invention involves co-administration of a tumor-associated or tumor-specific antigen, with GM-CSF and IL-4, to induce antigen-specific immunity mediated by APC. Yet another embodiment of the present invention describes systemic administration of GM-CSF and IL-4 to achieve reduced tumor burden.
