Abstract: A wireless communication unit (100) comprises a voltage
controlled oscillator (123) having an active device (450)
operably coupled to a first variable capacitance (425) to
provide a variable capacitance value based on an applied
steering line voltage, and a feedback network comprising
a resonator (475), operably coupled to an output of the
active device, for feeding power back to an input of the
active device to sustain oscillations (123). Notably, a
second variable capacitance is operably coupled to
receive a control voltage from the steering line (405)
and located between the resonator (475) and the active
device (450). 
     The provision of a second variable capacitance located as
described enables a VCO circuit to operate over a wider
bandwidth with the same tuning voltages, say around 15%
of the VCO's centre frequency. This is achieved due to
gain margin tuning applied to the resonator and second
variable capacitor of the VCO circuit.

Abstract: Inhibiting expression of a target gene by RNA interference, where the target region is selected from that which has another complementary or near complementary region(s) in the same target gene so that a natural hairpin structure of a dsRNA or multiples of the same or different hairpin dsRNA could have been formed. Inhibiting expression of a target gene in a cell comprises introducing a double stranded or other forms of RNA (dsRNA and other small interfering RNA precursors siRNAp) enabling siRNA, where the dsRNA and siRNAp comprise, in most cases, a double stranded structure or a single stranded hairpin structure with an identical or near identical sequence as compared to a region of the target gene. The region selected for inhibition, will be a region that should have another complementary or near complementary region(s) in the same target gene so that a natural hairpin structure of a dsRNA or multiples of the same or different hairpin dsRNA could have been formed, at least in theory, de novo from that particular targeted gene. For practical purposes, the best match sometimes can only be found for the first 4-12 nucleotides or so since the chance of a match is exponentially more difficult after that number. The match may not be restricted to start from the first 4-12 nucleotides but may start and end from and in any position. This concept is applied for the selection of the right sequences for dsRNA and siRNAp to enable target gene silencing. ACTIVITY : Respiratory-Gen.; Anti-HIV; Cytostatic; Viricide; Antibacterial; Antifungal; Antiparasitic. No biological data given. MECHANISM OF ACTION : Gene therapy; RNAi; RNA interference.

Abstract: The display device comprises a driver (10, 16) which supplies drive pulses to the pixels (18) to bring the pixels (18) in a predetermined optical state corresponding to image information to be displayed. A controller (15) controls the driver (10, 16) to successively supply a drive pulse (Vni) and a correction pulse (dni). The drive pulse (Vni) has a voltage level that is sufficiently high to bring the electrophoretic particles (8, 9) into a continuously moving state as long as the drive pulse (Vni) is present. Due to the history of the drive of the pixel (18) the desired optical state will usually be reached approximately only. The correction pulse (dni) has a voltage level which is too low for bringing the electrophoretic particles (8, 9) into a continuously moving state, as the drive pulse (Vni) does, but high enough for moving the electrophoretic particles (8, 9) over a relatively small distance with respect to dimensions of the pixels (18). Thus, the correction pulse (dni) causes a relatively small movement of the electrophoretic particles (8, 9) towards an equilibrium state.

Abstract: A liquid reducing agent of a necessary amount according to an engine operating condition is injection-supplied from a nozzle having an injection hole opening to inside an exhaust gas passage, positioned on an exhaust gas upstream side of a nitrogen oxide reduction catalyst. On the other hand, when an injection flow rate of the liquid reducing agent becomes zero, compressed air stored in a purge air tank is supplied into the nozzle for a predetermined time. Thus, the liquid reducing agent remaining in the nozzle is forcibly discharged by the compressed air, and hence even if the nozzle is at a high temperature due to the exhaust heat, a situation where reducing agent constituents are deposited does not occur, and clogging of the inside of the nozzle can be prevented.
