Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et des moyens permettant de réguler la dégradation de la protéine IλBα, l'activité du facteur NFλB, et l'expression du gène dépendant de NFλB dans les cellules vivantes, les tissus et les organes in situ. La régulation sélective est assurée à l'aide du peptide PR-39 natif ou l'un de ses homologues de longueur inférieure en vue de leur interaction avec cette IλBα et des protéasomes tels qu'ils sont présents dans le cytoplasme des cellules viables. Le résultat de l'interactiion du peptide PR-39 avec IλBα est une altération sélective de l'activité protéolytique des protéasomes qui à son tour provoque une réduction de IλBα, une diminution de l'activité de NFλB, et une régulation réductrice de l'expression du gène dépendant de NFλB.

Abstract: Techniques to reduce the amount of registration required by a mobile station in a wireless communication system, especially if the registration zones are defined to be small areas. In one scheme, a mobile station registers (e.g., at R-level) with a network entity (e.g., a base station) each time it enters a new registration zone, which can correspond to an R-TMSI zone defined by GSM MC-MAP. The mobile station maintains a timer for each zone with which it has already registered but has since left. If the mobile station leaves a particular zone for a period longer than a time-out period, the registration with that zone times out, and the mobile station re-registers with that zone whenever it re-enters the zone. The mobile station may implement zone-based, timer-based, implicit, traffic channel RR, and some other registrations, or a combination thereof. Parameters to facilitate registration may be defined by a base station.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for automatically maintaining the range gate inside a moving blood vessel during ultrasound imaging. The range gate can be maintained at the vessel center, or at a certain distance from one of the vessel boundaries, or at a certain ratio of the respective distances from the two boundaries. The user first places the range gate on the blood flow being examined. An algorithm processes each successive image frame and automatically updates the information about vessel boundary positions and the vessel orientation angle in the vicinity of the range gate. If the range gate position relative to the vessel boundaries is different than that in the previous frame by more than a predetermined amount, the position of the range gate graphic and the orientation of the vessel slope cursor (and the Doppler angle) are automatically adjusted to the new values.
