Title: Apparatus for detecting a movement of a digital television signal
Inventor: KONDO TETSUJIRO
IPC: H04N5/14
Filed: 1988-09-01
Granted: 1989-10-05
Abstract: Upon execution of the movement detection by way of a gradient method the leftward and rightward sampling differences AEL and AER at a change extremal value point are used to detect the respective movements in the vertical and horizontal directions. The movement amounts detected are selectively fetched. Upon addition/subtraction of the frame difference, the sign of sample is held until the positive or negative sign of the sample which is obtained from the result of comparison between the sampling difference values before and after the sample is changed. The accurate movement detection is performed by controlling the addition/subtraction in response to the holding signal.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for identifying potential therapeutic agents by contacting a target cell with a candidate therapeutic agent which is a selective substrate for an endogenous, intracellular enzyme in the cell which is enhanced in its expression as a result of selection by biologic or chemotherapy. This invention also provides methods and examples of molecules for selectively killing a pathological cell by contacting the cell with a prodrug that is a selective substrate for an endogenous, intracellular enzyme. The prodrug is subsequently converted to a cellular toxin. Further provided by this invention is a method for treating a pathology characterized by pathological, hyperproliferative cells in a subject by administering to the subject a prodrug that is a selective substrate for an endogenous, overexpressed, intracellular enzyme, and converted by the enzyme to a cellular toxin in the hyperproliferative cell.

Title: Continuous casting on a solid elongated metal strand
Inventor: EKEROT SVEN TORBJOERN
IPC: B22D23/04
Filed: 1988-10-21
Granted: 1992-10-29
Abstract: A method for the direct casting of metallic material, such as steel, to produce elongated bodies (2) which can form blanks having a cross-section which corresponds relatively close to the cross-section of the intended products, in which method a metal melt (1'), while at least its outermost layer remains molten, is caused to run from an outlet gate (3) in a molten-metal container (1) and is collected subsequent to solidification. The melt (1') of molten metal which exits from the gate exits together with a metallic body (5) which has substantially the same melting point as the molten metal, this metallic body being passed through the gate (3), inserted into and moving with the molten metal and causes cooling of the molten metal (1') progressively. The metallic body thereby entrains the molten metal at substantially the same speed as the metallic body (5) in what is termed a boundary layer. The cross-section of the inserted metallic body (5) is correlated to the cross-section of the molten metal determined by the outlet gate, so that the cooling and entraining effect of the inserted body assists in forming the desired boundary layer and in the formation of a network of solidified metal adjacent the metallic body. There is also an arrangement for carrying out the method.

Granted: 2001-03-22
Abstract: This invention relates to matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibiting compounds of the formula: <CHEM> where R<1> is C1-C12 alkyl, straight or branched and optionally substituted by halogen, hydroxy, C1-C6 alkoxy, amino, carboxyl, C1-C6 alkoxycarbonyl, carboxamido, nitrile, mono- or di-(C1-C6)alkylamino, thio, C1-C6 alkylthio, aryl, -Oaryl or -OCH2aryl where aryl is optionally substituted with C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C6 alkoxy, carboxy, halogen, cyano, nitro, carboxamido, or hydroxy; and C1-C6 alkanesulfonyloxy. R<2> is  alpha -OH or  beta -OH and R<6> is H or R<2> and R<6> together are carbonyl; the chemical intermediates; and processes for the preparation of these compounds and the intermediates thereto. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are a family of zinc-containing calcium dependent proteinases, including stromelysins, collagenases, and gelatinases. These MMP enzymes are capable of degrading the proteinaceous components of connective tissue and appear to be involved in tissue remodeling, i.e., wound healing and connective tissue turnover. Unexpectedly, the mercaptoalcohols with the S-configuration at the hydroxyl-bearing carbon have been found to be at least 4 times more potent than the analogous (R)-alcohols both in vitro and in vivo in inhibiting the MMP enzyme..

Granted: 1996-11-07
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/SE93/00378 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 3, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 3, 1995 PCT Filed Apr. 29, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/21781 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 11, 1993High quality protein products are obtained from whey by subjecting whey to cross flow filtration in microfilter. The whey and retentate are brought to circulate in a circulation path on one side of the membrane area of the microfilter, while whey which has passed through the membrane area (permeate) is circulating in a second path on the other side of the membrane area in such a way that the pressure drop through the whole membrane area is kept constant and below 0.8 bar. With this technique, there is obtained a fractionation of milk serum protein such that denatured milk serum protein and fat are retained in the retentate and undenatured milk serum protein passes through the membrane into the permeate. With a subsequent treatment there is obtained a whey protein product which is rich is  alpha -lactalbumin and  beta -lactoglobulin and has a low fat content.

Title: Method of producing sterile and concentrated juices with improved flavor and reduced acid
Inventor: LAWHON JAMES T
IPC: A23L2/08
Filed: 1985-09-03
Granted: 1988-11-17
Abstract: Ultrafiltration is employed to preferentially pass an ultrafiltration (UF) permeate containing flavor and aroma components while retaining spoilage microorganisms in a UF retentate. The UF retentate is then treated to inactivate a sufficient number of spoilage microorganisms to inhibit spoilage of the juice under storage conditions. A UF permeate containing flavor and aroma components is then recombined with the UF retentate to provide a food juice suitable for storage while avoiding the loss or alteration of the desirable flavor and aroma components of fresh juice encountered in conventional juice processing. If desired, spoilage enzymes can be retained in the UF retentate and inactivated to inhibit deterioration of desirable juice qualities. Further, the UF permeate can be further treated by reverse osmosis to concentrate flavor and aroma components in an RO retentate. If desired, the acid content of juice can be reduced by passing a portion of the RO retentate or UF permeate through an ion-exchange column.

Title: Method for detecting the presence of mercury using microorganisms with mercury-enhanced bioluminescence
Inventor: MOLDERS HORST
IPC: C12Q1/6897
Filed: 1990-02-01
Granted: 1993-12-09
Abstract: Process in which microorganisms equiped with a plasmid vector, pGL4, constructed by molecular biological techniques, can be used as biosensors for mercury compounds. A gene complex ($i(mer-Operon)) inductible by mercury ions is combined by molecular cloning with the luciferase (LUX) gene system of $i(Vibrio Harveyi). The arrangement of the two gene units is designed so that the $i(mer-Operon) promoter, which is positively regulated by mercury compounds, also controls the transcription of the LUX genes. As a result, microorganisms transformed with plasmid pGL4 respond to increasing quantities of mercury cations in the surrounding medium with an increase in their emitted bioluminescence. The process is absolutely specific for mercury, rapid and highly sensitive: the proven limit for mercury ions is approximately 0.2 ppb, i.e., 5 times lower than the detection threshold for the most powerful established methods (atomic absorption spectrometry), which detect 1 to 5 ppb of mercury and require a considerable quantity of apparatus. A further advantage of the invention is the possibility of determining measurement values (bioluminescence signals emitted by microorganisms transformed by plasmid pGL4) without direct contact between the biosensor and the signal-amplification unit (bioluminescence apparatus). The method therefore permits simple, continuous, on-line determination of critical mercury concentrations.
