Title: Four a cloche
Inventor: WILDEN SIEGFRIED
IPC: C21D9/675
Filed: 1999-08-31
Abstract: Afin de pouvoir placer un rouleau de métal dans un four à cloche, il est nécessaire de faire basculer ce dernier de 90· à partir de sa position de transport, au moyen d'un culbuteur. La cloche à recuire, la hotte de chauffage et la hotte de refroidissement du four à cloche doivent alors être soulevées et déplacées au moyen d'une grue. L'invention vise à permettre de renoncer à l'utilisation d'un culbuteur et d'un système de grue complexe. A cet effet, au moins une broche (6) est placée sur le socle de four à recuire (1), ladite broche s'étendant perpendiculairement à la surface de base dudit socle. Ce dernier (1), avec la cloche à recuire (10) et le ou les rouleaux de métal (7), est monté de manière à pouvoir basculer de 90· entre une position verticale et une position horizontale. La cloche à recuire (10) peut être placée dans sa position horizontale sur le socle à recuire (1) et être retirée de ce dernier. La cloche de chauffage (11) et la cloche de refroidissement (10) présentent latéralement des moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture, de façon à produire une ouverture pour le passage de la cloche à recuire (10). La cloche chauffante (11) et la cloche de refroidissement peuvent être déplacées en position verticale par rapport à la cloche à recuire (10). Ce four à cloche s'utilise pour le recuit de rouleaux de feuillards, fils et tubes.

Title: Detection of previous section fail for a transparent tributary
Inventor: HABEL RICHARD R
IPC: H04J3/14
Filed: 2000-08-25
Abstract: A transparent port which maps continuous format signals of an arbitrary rate into frames of a pre-selected single common rate, is provided with a programmable link termination/instigation, for example a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). The port identifies the rate of the continuous signal, recognizes its protocol and the FPGA is configured accordingly. FPGA performs framing, counts errors, does code conversion, corrects parity and performs any other performance monitoring specific to the protocol.      In this way, the continuous format signal may be carried transparently as a tributary of e.g. a SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) network, and the performance parameters for the previous section, such as the previous section fail, may be reported to the far end.

Patent CA-2319121-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KNYAZEV PJOTR
IPC: C07K14/71
Filed: 1999-01-22
Abstract: The invention relates to the use of inhibitors for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases resulting from increased receptor tyrosine kinase activity, especially cancer. Use concerns particularly the inhibition or reduction of over-expression and/or altered activity of receptor tyrosine kinases (RKTs). Such changes in the activity of receptor tyrosine kinase may be triggered particularly by a mutation of the FGFR-4, which mutation is especially a point mutation in the transmembrane domain of FGFR-4 and leads to an exchange of a hydrophobic for a hydrophilic amino acid. The invention further relates to the use of an inhibitor directed against FGFR-4 for the treatment and/or prevention of cancer. The invention also relates to a mutated FGFR-4 causing overexpression and/or altered activity in cells. The invention finally relates to a DNA and RNA sequence of a mutated FGFR-4 molecule, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the inhibitor described above, and a diagnostic and screening method.

Filed: 1999-03-19
Abstract: A method for detecting a de-myelinating disease or spongiform encephalopathy in mammals comprises testing a biological sample obtained from the mammal for IgA antibodies indicative of infection by an Acinetobacter species. The Acinetobacter species is one which presents to the mammal an antigen which exhibits molecular mimicry with the myelin of the mammal e.g. Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. The antibodies tested for are antibodies which bind to an epitope present in or derived from the Acinetobacter species or to a prepared peptide sequence corresponding thereto or to a conformationally similar peptide sequence e.g. the peptide sequence RFSAWGAE or ISRFAWGEV. The method tests for bovine spongiform encephalopathy, multiple sclerosis and CreutzfeldtJacob disease in humans. A test kit uses as the test antigen the whole Acinetobacter organism or at least one prepared peptide sequence as described above and a secondary antibody against the human, bovine, or other mammalian IgA.

Title: Method and apparatus of supporting a video protocol in a network environment
Inventor: NORTHCUTT J DUANE
IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 1999-04-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus of supporting a video protocol in a network environment. Video processing and hardware requirements associated with a receiver are minimized by specifying a single video protocol for transmission of video data between transmitters and receivers on a network. The protocol specifies a color format that allows for high video quality and minimizes the complexity of the receiver. Transmitters convert video data into the designated protocol as needed. The designated protocol specifies a color format including a luminance value and two chrominance values. Quantized differential coding is applied to the luminance value and subsampling is performed on the chrominance values to reduce transmission bandwidth requirements. Upscaling of video data is performed at the receiver, whereas downscaling is performed at the transmitter. Various display sizes can thus be accommodated with efficient use of network bandwidth.

Abstract: A real time data transmission method is used in a network in which a real time media gateway is provided to allow access to the Internet backbone in addition to the usual GPRS specific gateway. The method involves changing the header in a real time data stream as it passes through the network so that it can pass directly to the real time gateway without passing through the GPRS specific gateway. This ensures that the data stream travels along a more direct route and shortens the headers used in the data stream in the process.
