Abstract: L'invention concerne des éléments uniques de la famille Hect des ubiquitine ligases qui ciblent spécifiquement des protéines Smad spécifiques des voies de signalisation BMP et TGFβ/activine. Les nouvelles ligases ont été appelées Smurf1 et Smurf2. Elles interagissent directement avec les protéines Smad1 et 5 et avec Smad7, respectivement, et régulent l'ubiquitination, le renouvellement et l'activité de protéines Smad et d'autres protéines de ces voies de signalisation. Smurf1 intervient dans les réponses biologiques à BMP, mais pas dans la signalisation d'activine. Dans des embryons d'amphibiens, Smurf1 inhibe les signaux de BMP endogène, ce qui entraîne une formation de motif et une spécification de destin cellulaire modifiées dans le mésoderme et l'ectoderme. La présente invention concerne un lien régulatoire unique entre la voie d'ubiquitination et la régulation de la détermination du destin cellulaire par la superfamille des TGFβ au cours du développement embryonnaire. De ce fait, Smurf1 constitue un régulateur négatif de la transduction de signal Smad1 : en ciblant Smad1, Smurf1 bloque la signalisation BMP. Dans des cellules de mammifère, Smurf2 supprime la signalisation TGFβ, et, chez le xénope, bloque la formation de mésoderme dorsal et provoque une troncature antérieure des embryons. Smurf2 forme un complexe stable avec Smad7, ce qui entraîne une dégradation et une diminution de la signalisation TGFβ/activine.

Abstract: In a packet transmission system, each terminal unit (A, B, C)
transmits data to a resource monitoring device (2) of a network (1) for
sending the data to another terminal unit via the network (1). The
resource monitoring device (2) includes a resource map database (5) and
a resource management section (7). The resource map database (5)
stores a resource map (8) in which central points of resources that can be
used by the terminal units (A, B, C) are described. The resource
management section (7) transmits the resource map (8) to the terminal
units (A, B, C). Each terminal unit (A, B, C) includes a resource
detection section (3) and a resource acquisition section (4). The resource
detection section (3) detects resource usage statuses (10B) of terminal
units that are using resources adjacent to a resource used by the
terminal unit (A, B, C), by use of the resource map (8) supplied from the
resource monitoring device (2). The resource acquisition section (4)
finds idle resources between the resource used by the terminal unit (A, B,
C) and the adjacent resources based on the resource usage statuses (10B)
detected by the resource detection section (3), and acquires all or part of
the idle resources so as to be incorporated in the usable resource (12) of
the terminal unit (A, B, C). By employing such resource assignment,
the number of messages necessary for the resource assignment can be
reduced and thereby delay time due to the resource assignment can be
reduced.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing entropy coding and decoding of a
sequence of coded symbols representative of, for example, a speech, audio or video
signal, in which variable-size vectors are coded and decoded based on radix arithmetic.
The encoding technique uses a first radix and the numerical values of individual symbols
to be coded, in order to determine the length of a first subsequence of symbols, which is
then coded with use of a single (a first) combined symbol, and uses a second radix and
the numerical values of other individual symbols to be coded, in order to determine the
length of a second subsequence of symbols, which is then also coded with a single (a
second) combined symbol, wherein the length of the first and second subsequences of
symbols are also based on the size of the set from which the combined symbols are
selected. The number of symbols in the first subsequence and the second subsequence
are unequal -- that is, the vectors ( i.e. , subsequences) which are combined for coding
have a variable size. The first radix and the second radix may be equal and fixed to a
predetermined value, or they may each be determined based on the corresponding
subsequence of symbols to be coded. Correspondingly, the decoding technique of the
present invention determines from the bit stream the number of symbols which have been
coded with use of a single combined symbol ( i.e. , the length of a coded subsequence),
and based on that number, on the combined symbol itself, and on a given radix (which
may be fixed or may also be determined from the bit stream), determines the values of
the individual symbols which were coded together as the combined symbol.

Abstract: Techniques are described for removing noise effects in processing a barcode
signal. A photosignal produced by scanning a barcode is used to generate a digital first
derivative signal. Positive and negative thresholds are generated based on the digital
first derivative signal. Processing windows are defined for each region of the first
derivative signal which exceeds a threshold. Each processing window is bounded by a
window opening point at which the first derivative signal exceeds a threshold, and by a
window closing point, which is the last crossing of the threshold by the first derivative
signal before the first derivative signal makes a zero crossing. Each region is processed
to locate a geometric center of the region. A logic transition is recognized for each
geometric center of a region defined by a processing window.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de transport rapide personnalisé équipé d'un moteur à induction linéaire monté sur le plancher du véhicule. Le montage dudit moteur à induction linéaire sur le plancher du véhicule permet de simplifier la structure du système de transport rapide personnalisé et d'assurer une conduite stable. En outre, le système selon l'invention étant équipé d'une roue d'aiguillage auxiliaire, il est possible de prévenir tout accident du véhicule quittant une voie lors de l'aiguillage. D'ailleurs, comme l'entraînement du véhicule n'est assuré que par un seul moteur à induction linéaire monté horizontalement sur le plancher du véhicule, la structure du système de transport rapide personnalisé peut être simplifiée davantage et allégée, ce qui permet de réduire les coûts de production par rapport aux systèmes de l'état de la technique qui utilisent une paire de moteurs à induction linéaire. En outre, même si un dispositif d'aiguillage tombe en panne lors de l'aiguillage, la roue d'aiguillage auxiliaire empêche au véhicule de quitter la voie et garantit donc une course stable. En plus, étant donné qu'un rail d'aiguillage est logé dans un rail de guidage, le système de transport rapide personnalisé peut être de taille compacte. Enfin, le rail de ramification étant monté uniquement dans une section d'aiguillage et pas nécessairement dans toutes les sections, les coûts d'installation du système de transport rapide personnalisé peuvent être également réduits.
