Title: Oligonucleotide mediated specific cytokine induction and in vivo protection from infection
Inventor: AGRAWAL SUDHIR
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 1998-04-30
Granted: 2011-06-21
Abstract: The invention provides methods for modulating specific CMI-inducing cytokines in vivo. Such methods result in stimulation of the cytokines IL-6, IL-12 MIP-1.beta. and MCP without substantially inducing undesired cytokines. The methods according to the invention are based upon administration of oligonucleotides containing particular structural motifs which lead to specific cytokine induction.

Title: Instrument a mesurer les gradients de gravite
Inventor: GOODWIN GRAHAM CLIFFORD
IPC: G01V7/16
Filed: 1998-06-11
Granted: 2006-09-19
Abstract: L'invention concerne des améliorations apportées aux performances d'un instrument à mesurer les gradients de gravité mobile (GGI). Ces instruments mesurent une ou plusieurs composantes du gradient de gravité, qui est exprimé sous forme de vecteur de gradient de gravité ou, en d'autres termes, de tenseur. L'instrument comprend un premier, un deuxième, un troisième et un quatrième accéléromètre (1, 2, 3, 4), disposés à équidistance sur la circonférence d'un cercle, avec leurs axes sensibles tangentiels à ce dernier, et en paires opposées, le premier accéléromètre étant opposé au second et le troisième au quatrième. En utilisation, les accéléromètres tournent autour d'un axe (6) perpendiculaire au cercle et passant par son centre. Un amplificateur de sommation, qui reçoit les sorties des accéléromètres et les combine de façon à annuler les signaux de sortie en mode commun, produit une sortie d'instrument. Une ou plusieurs boucles de rétroaction partant de la sortie de l'instrument et allant jusqu'à un ou plusieurs accéléromètres compensent les erreurs. De façon générale, l'invention vise à compenser tous les signaux de retour, de façon à les appliquer, après division appropriée (si nécessaire), à deux accéléromètres ou davantage, en inversant leur sens de la manière qui convient, au lieu de les appliquer à un seul accéléromètre.

Granted: 2005-05-24
Abstract: Un procédé de production d'un métal primaire d'aluminium d'une grande pureté consiste à charger, en tant que matière principale, une alumine dont on a réduit la teneur en Si au moyen d'un traitement de lavage avec un acide dans un four de fusion électrolytique du type Hall-Hercult, et, en tandem avec ceci, à l'aide d'un coke de décendrage et/ou d'une poix servant de matière carbonée pour une anode. Pendant le lavage avec un acide on utilise une solution aqueuse d'acide sulfurique, une solution aqueuse contenant de l'acide sulfurique et de l'acide fluorhydrique, ou autre; et une solution aqueuse acide chauffée jusqu'à 40  DEG C ou plus est de préférence utilisée pour éliminer le Si. L'utilisation de ce procédé permet de produire un métal primaire d'aluminium d'une grande pureté ayant des teneurs significativement réduites en Si et en Fe, et permet par conséquent de produire un métal primaire d'aluminium d'une grande pureté ayant une pureté de 99,95 % en poids (3N5) ou plus, outre le fait que sa pureté est voisine de la pureté 4N d'un métal à affinage secondaire.

Granted: 2006-09-12
Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed for detecting, identifying, and classifying faults occurring in sensors measuring a process. If faults are identified in one or more sensors, the apparatus and method provi de replacement values for the faulty sensors so that any process controllers and process monitoring systems that use these sensors can remain in operation during the fault period. The identification of faulty sensors is achieved through the use of a set of structured residual transfor ms that are uniquely designed to be insensitive to specific subsets of sensors, while being maximally sensitive to sensors not in the subset. Identified faults are classified into one of the types Complete Failure, Bias, Drift, Precision Loss, or Unknown.

Abstract: An analytical rotor (10) for separating cellular components from a biological sample includes a plurality of internal chambers and passages for combining the cell-free sample with one or more reagents and distributing the sample to a plurality of individual test wells (92). The chambers and passages necessary for separating cellular components from a sample such as whole blood include a measuring chamber (40), an overflow chamber (44), a separation chamber (60), and a reagent chamber (80). The measuring chamber (40) and overflow chamber (44) have capillary dimensions so that an initial volume of whole blood partitions therebetween, with the measuring chamber filling first to provide a preselected volume. The separation chamber (60) is located radially outward from both the measuring chamber (40) and the reagent chamber (80) so that spinning of the rotor causes both the reagent and the measured blood volume to flow outward into the separation chamber (60). A collection chamber (90) is formed to receive the plasma from the separation chamber (60). Further spinning of the rotor causes the plasma to flow radially outward into a plurality of test wells (92) formed around the periphery of the collection chamber (90). Testing of the separated plasma volumes may be performed without removing without removing the plasma from the rotor.
