Abstract: Cette invention concerne des nouvelles protéines d'horloge BMAL2 (protéines 2 de type cerveau-muscle-ARNt) qui jouent un rôle important dans le mécanisme d'oscillation d'horloge faisant intervenir une voie d'entrée optique et une voie de sortie ; des nouveaux gènes d'horloge codant pour ces protéines ; un procédé de criblage d'une substance favorisant ou inhibant l'activité transcriptionnelle promoteur au moyen de ladite substance, etc. Pour isoler les gènes cClock, cPer2 et cBMAL1, on utilise un corps pinéal d'oisillon, matériau convenant pour l'étude de l'horloge biologique. Par ailleurs, on isole un ADNc codant pour une nouvelle protéine d'horloge cBMAL2, qui montre une homologie avec cBMAL1 et on en détermine la séquence. De plus, on isole des ADNc BMAL2 de l'homme, de la souris et du rat à partir d'une lignée cellulaire rénale d'embryon humain, du mésencéphale de la souris et de fibroblastes précoces du rat, respectivement, et l'on détermine les séquences de ces ADNc. BMAL2 forme un hétérodimère avec CLOCK, BMAL1, etc. Il forme également un homodimère

Granted: 2007-05-01
Abstract: The sealing apparatus (100) is used in a substantially vertical position by the user, who inserts a magazine pack containing nails into the hopper (101). After unlocking of the hopper (101), the nails slide in the flexible feed tube (10) as far as the front of a feeder for indirect firing, in a buffer guide (102). The user then merely has to actuate a trigger (103) in order to entrain the nails into the support via the feeder. In order to preserve the transparent quality of the tube (10), its effective inner cross section (21) is not circular, but is arranged (23) such that the contact between the lateral wall of the circular head of the nail (1) and the effective inner wall (21) of the tube (10) is not possible on certain portions (22) of the effective inner wall (21).

Title: Seat belt apparatus for vehicle
Inventor: ENOMOTO TAKAAKI
IPC: B60R21/232
Filed: 2003-11-26
Granted: 2008-01-08
Abstract: In the seat belt apparatus of the invention, a belt retracting motor is operated so as to retract the seat belt by a predetermined amount when it is determined that the vehicle will roll over based on a lateral acceleration, a roll rate and a roll angle which are detected and calculated by a lateral acceleration sensor and a roll rate sensor, according to a predetermined first determination condition. Also, a pretensioner is operated so as to retract the seat belt by a predetermined amount when it is determined that the vehicle will roll over according to a second determination condition indicating that there is a higher possibility of rollover. When it is determined that the vehicle will not roll over, operation of the belt retracting motor is cancelled, and the seat belt is permitted to be pulled out.

Filed: 2002-09-27
Granted: 2013-01-15
Abstract: The invention features incapacitated whole cell bacterial immunogenic compositions produced by infecting a bacterium with Lys minus bacteriophage, which are deficient in the lysin protein. Lys minus bacteriophage retain activity in infection of its appropriate bacterial host, destruction of the bacterial genome, and replication, which are sufficient to inhibit bacterial growth and replication. The resulting, Lys minus-infected bacterium is provided in a state of bacteriostasis, and is not capable of replicating further (e.g., is "incapacitated"). The incapacitated bacterium can then be used as to elicit an immune response for prophylactic and/or therapeutic purposes. The invention thus also features incapacitated bacteria formulated appropriately for use in immunogenic compositions for eliciting an immune response, e.g., for production of antibodies in a non-human host or in a whole cell bacterial vaccine.

Title: Electrical/communications box protector and drywall guide
Inventor: WIGGINS RICHARD S
IPC: H02G3/12
Filed: 2004-03-26
Granted: 2011-06-14
Abstract: A temporary protective cover/guide for a universal electrical/communications box, said protective cover having a perimeter side wall, a recessed planar base, and a flange extending outwardly from the side wall such that it is preferably substantially planar and parallel to the planar base. The perimeter side wall and base and flange are of a size and shape to friction fit the recessed base within the box once electrical conductors are pulled into the box. The flange covers nearly all of the upper edge(s) of the box. The cover/guide can be readily attached or removed and provides protection against electrical shocks. In preferred form, at least the base of the cover/guide is transparent so that an inspector can readily view the electrical conductors without having to remove the cover. The cover/guide also functions to assist in marking where the electrical box is and to protect the components from damage and construction workers from electrical shock during the drywall phase of construction prior to installing the permanent electrical component and permanent cover plate.

Abstract: A packer, and operation of the same, which forms elastomeric seals and non- elastomeric seals. The packer may be constructed from a non-elastomeric tubular core having a frustoconical shaped inner diameter. The outer diameter of the core may be substantially smooth and carry one or more elastomeric sealing elements. The packer is set by causing the diametrical expansion of the tubular core. The construction of the tubular core is preferably such that its diametrical expansion causes the formation of radial raised portions (upsets) on the outer surface. These raised portions form the non-elastomeric seals and also prevent extrusion of the elastomeric sealing elements.

Title: Audio decoding apparatus and method
Inventor: TANAKA NAOYA
IPC: G10L19/093
Filed: 2003-09-11
Granted: 2012-04-24
Abstract: An audio decoding apparatus decodes high frequency component signals using a band expander that generates multiple high frequency subband signals from low frequency subband signals divided into multiple subbands and transmitted high frequency encoded information. The apparatus is provided with an aliasing detector and an aliasing remover. The aliasing detector detects the degree of occurrence of aliasing components in the multiple high frequency subband signals generated by the band expander. The aliasing remover suppresses aliasing components in the high frequency subband signals by adjusting the gain used to generate the high frequency subband signals. Thus occurrence of aliasing can be suppressed and the resulting degradation in sound quality can be reduced, even when real-valued subband signals are used in order to reduce the number of operations.
