Title: Improvements in or relating to electronic timing systems
Inventor: WEEDON ROBERT JOHN
IPC: G04R20/02
Filed: 2001-04-19
Abstract: A time offset measurement system for the timing of events at spaced apart locations comprising at each location, a dual frequency Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, wherein both the GPS receiver and the antenna are dual frequency (L1, L2), and the former is capable of both Coarse Acquisition (C/A) Code and carrier phase measurements, a frequency reference source giving local time, a data-logger for logging GPS data, a Time Interval Counter (TIC) used to measure the time of a local event as defined by the frequency reference source relative to time as defined in dependence on GPS data. For each pair of sites the system determines a primary time-offset figure based on a direct signal path between the sites, and a secondary time-offset figure based on at least one indirect signal path between the sites, in order to confirm system operation.

Title: Method and apparatus for the storage of entomopathogenic nematodes
Inventor: BEDDING ROBIN ANTHONY
IPC: C12N5/18
Filed: 1999-09-28
Abstract: Third stage juvenile (J3) entomopathogenic nematodes are prepared for storag e by being induced into a state of cryptobiosis. The induction of cryptobiosis  is effected by mixing an aqueous cream of the J3 nematodes with anhydrous, small particles (average maximum dimension less than 300.mu.m) of non-fibrou s cellulose. The proportions of the aqueous cream and non-fibrous cellulose particles are such that, after equilibration, the mixture has a water activi ty in the range 0.80 to 0.995. Preferably an anti-fungal agent is included in t he aqueous cream. To store the cryptobiotic J3 nematodes, the mixture is preferably kept in a container (10), fitted with an attachment which maintai ns the water activity in the container at a required value. The attachment includes a rigid tube (13, 26) that connects the interior of the container with a chamber (14, 24) that is vented to ambient atmosphere by small apparatus (16). When in use the chamber contains water-absorbent material (1 8) saturated with water or with a saturated salt solution, and the tube (13, 26 ) contains an air-permeable plug (17). An alternative attachment comprises a plastic envelope (32), one face (34) of which is stuck to the wall of the container (30). Small apertures (36) in the face (34) are aligned with apertures (31) in the container wall. Small apertures (37) in the other face  (33) connect the inside of the envelope (32) to ambient atmosphere. In use, the envelope contains a water-absorbent material (18) saturated with water o r a salt solution, and at least one spacer member (35).

IPC: F16B13/00
Filed: 1999-10-28
Abstract: A combination wall anchor and support fastener comprises a wall anchor (A) adapted to be securely installed in a support structure such as a wall or a ceiling, and a support fastener (F, F') having an elongated member or stem (26) and a proximal support system (32). The wall anchor (A) defines an inne r bore (20) delimited by an inner wall (24). The elongated member or stem (26)  is translationally insertable in the inner bore (20). A locking mechanism (2 2, 30/30') is provided for locking the elongated member (26) to the inner wall (24) upon sufficient translational insertion of the elongated member (26) in  the inner bore (20). Therefore, with the wall anchor (A) secured to the support structure, the support fastener (F, F') can be inserted in the wall anchor (A) and locked thereto with the support system (32) being usable for suspending, mounting, attaching, etc., an item to the support structure. The  locking mechanism (22, 30/30') may comprise a notch or recess (22) which is defined in the inner wall (24) and at least one tooth (30/30') protruding sideways from the stem (26). Typically, a number of axially spaced and align ed teeth (30/30') are provided on the outside of the stem (26), with each tooth  (30/30') being adapted for engagement in the recess (22) such that various locked relativepositions can be obtained between the wall anchor (A) and the  support fastener (F, F'). The locking mechanism (22, 30/30') can be disengaged, for instance, by rotating the support fastener (F, F') with respect to the wall anchor (A) such that the relevant tooth (30/30') is rotated out of the recess (22) thereby allowing for the support fastener (F,  F') to be translationally withdrawn from the wall anchor (A).

Abstract: Connecteur électrique pour interconnecter une radio portable et des dispositifs accessoires. Le connecteur fixé au dispositif accessoire comprend une fente qui entre d'abord en prise avec une languette sur la radio portable, alignant ainsi correctement la radio portable et le connecteur quand le connecteur est tourné vers la radio portable. L'alignement continu permet l'accouplement adéquat des contacts électriques de la radio portable avec les contacts électriques du connecteur. De plus, cet alignement fait en sorte qu'un dispositif de verrouillage quart de tour du connecteur se loge correctement dans un élément de réception sur la radio portable. L'utilisateur tourne ensuite le dispositif de verrouillage quart de tour pour amener les contacts à se toucher et fixer le connecteur en place. Puisque le connecteur électrique comprend un mécanisme de fixation à la radio portable en deux points, la rotation du connecteur par rapport à la radio portable est empêchée.

Abstract: Des procédés de production de memapsine 2 de recombinaison purifiée, catalytiquement active, ont été développés. Les spécificités du substrat et du sous-site de l'enzyme catalytiquement active ont été déterminées. Les spécificités d'information du substrat et du sous-site ont été utilisées pour concevoir des analogues de substrat d'un substrat de memapsine 2 naturelle pouvant inhiber la fonction de la memapsine 2. Les analogues du substrat à base de séquences peptidiques, ont été prouvés comme correspondant à des substrats peptidiques naturels pour la memapsine 2. Les analogues du substrat contiennent au moins un analogue de liaison d'amide ne pouvant pas être clivé par la memapsine 2. Des procédés de synthèse des deux analogues de substrat comprennent des isosthères au niveau des sites des résidus critiques d'aminoacide ont été développés et les analogues du substrat, OMR99-1 et OM99-2, ont été synthétisés. OM99-2 est à base d'octapeptide Glu-Val-Asn-Leu-Ala-Ala-Glu-Phe (SEQ ID NO:28) avec une liaison de peptide Leu-Ala substituée par un groupe hydroxyéthylène isosthère en état de transition (figure 1). L'inhibition constante d'OM99-2 représente 1.6 x 10?-9¿ M contre la pro-memapsine 2 de recombinaison. Une cristallographie de la memapsine 2 liée à cet inhibiteur a été utilisée pour déterminer la structure tridensionnelle de la protéine, ainsi que l'importance des divers résidus de liaison. Cette information peut être utilisée par les personnes qualifiées pour concevoir de nouveaux inhibiteurs, utilisant des programmes logiciels disponibles sur le marché et des techniques familères à ceux qui travaillent dans la chimie organique et l'enzymologie, pour créer de nouveaux inhibiteurs de memapsine 2, utilisés dans les diagnostiques et pour le traitement et/ou la prévention de la maladie d'Alzheimer.
