Abstract: Bei einem Steckverbinder mit Schneidklemmen, die in ihren jeweils zugeordneten Leiterendabschnitt beidseitig eingreifen und in Ausnehmungen des gegenüberliegenden Steckerteils eintauchen, weisen diese Ausnehmungen (11) des ersten Steckerteils (10) jeweils einen Einsatz auf, der gewährleistet, daß die beiden Schenkel (41,42) jeder Schneidklemme (40) geführt und gegen Verspreizen gesichert sind. Insbesondere kann dieser Einsatz als ringförmig geschlossenes oder topfförmiges Metallgehäuse (50) ausgebildet sein. Mit der Sicherung der beiden Schenkel der Schneidklemmen durch den Einsatz wird der Anwendungsbereich solcher Steckverbinder auch in solche Bereiche hin ausgedehnt, bei denen mechanische und thermische Beanspruchungen ohne ausreichende zusätzliche Vorkehrungen unter Umständen zu einem Nachlassen der Klemmwirkung und dadurch bedingten Funktionsausfällen des zugeordneten Leiters führen könnten. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel forms
and configurations of intercellular adhesion molecule
(ICAM) including multimeric configurations that
effectively bind to human rhinovirus and can effectively
reduce HRV infectivity. When in a multimeric
configuration, preferably as dimers, these proteins
display enhanced binding of HRV and are able to reduce
HRV infectivity as well as the infectivity of other
viruses known to bind to the "major" group human
rhinovirus receptor (HRR). The multimerized proteins
may also be used to block tICAM interaction with
lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1).

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention,
there is provided a method of introducing/discharging a heavy
article which enables a coil-shape heavy article to easily and
directly be introduced into a transporting receptacle (a
container or the like) and easily securing the heavy article
without a flaw of the coil-shape heavy article. According to
another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a
pallet, a carrying vehicle and an introducing/discharging stage
suitable for the introducing/discharging method. The
introducing/discharging method is a method of introducing the
pallet on which a heavy article is held into a container by using
the introducing/discharging stage. The method has the following
steps to be performed sequentially. The pallet has a coil
securing member for securing a heavy article to be placed. When
the number of said pallet is one, the size of the one pallet is
substantially the same as the planar size of the container and when the
number of said pallet is two or more, the size of the combined pallets
is substantially the same as the planar size in the container. The
carrying vehicle is able to levitate a support frame thereof by
discharging gas in a state where the pallet loaded with the heavy article
has been placed on the support frame. When a control stick is operated,
the attitude of the support frame can be controlled.

Abstract: An apparatus and method which, in a wireless communication system, improve
the quality of inter-frequency hand-offs from an existing call connection frequency to a
new frequency by minimizing oscillating inter-frequency hand-offs between the existing
call connection frequency and the new frequency, and by minimizing redundant and
unnecessary tuning and searching at the new frequency. The present invention
accomplishes this improvement by adding specific threshold comparison values (or
triggers) within existing messages and through more robust data reporting, from the
mobile unit to the base station, when tuning and searching is performed. Particularly,
two comparative triggers provided by the present invention avoid unnecessary tuning
and searching in the new frequency, thus reducing voice degradation and the risk of
dropped calls while pilot searching in the current frequency. Additionally, an alternative
embodiment of the present invention compares received power in the new frequency to
the received power in the original frequency. If the received power in the new frequency
does not exceed the received power in the original frequency by a specified hysteresis
threshold value, then a search of the new frequency is unnecessary and the mobile unit
"retunes" to the original frequency.

Le récepteur peut également comprendre un récepteur à liaison aérienne permettant de reconvertir en signaux optiques les signaux électroniques. Les guides d'ondes communs sont à leur tour couplés, à chaque site, aux interfaces du réseau. Les émetteurs-récepteurs sont orientés l'un vers l'autre de façon à permettre l'échange de signaux optiques entre les deux sites.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de préparer un spectre d'anticorps en utilisant une échantillothèque de peptides servant de substrat immunogène. De tels spectres d'anticorps sont utiles car ils peuvent s'utiliser pour identifier, localiser ou mesurer des acides aminés dans des peptides impliqués dans les modifications post-traductionnelles, et par conséquent on peut les utiliser pour la recherche systématique d'inhibiteurs d'enzymes impliqués dans de telles modifications post-traductionnelles. Plus particulièrement, l'invention se rapporte à la préparation d'un spectre d'anticorps que l'on a dressé en utilisant une échantillothèque de peptides dans laquelle la majorité des peptides contient une séquence consensus pour un domaine dans laquelle une sérine ou une thréonine est phosphorylée. Il en résulte qu'un tel spectre, ou une partie d'un tel spectre convient particulièrement pour la recherche systématique d'inhibiteurs de sérine ou thréonine kinase, et ce, à relativement grande vitesse.
