Patent EP-0841945-B1 (EP)
Inventor: GEUZE JOHANNES J
IPC: A61K39/385

Granted: 2006-03-08
Abstract: The invention provides a novel vehicle for vaccination, in particular peptide vaccination. The new vehicle has been termed an exosome. Exosomes are vesicles derived from MHC class II enriched compartments in antigen presenting cells. The exosomes possess MHC II and/or MHC I molecules at their surface and possibly peptides derived from processed antigens in said MHC's. Thus the exosome is a perfect vaccination vehicle in that it presents the peptide in a natural setting. The peptides present in the exosome in the MHC molecule may be processed by the antigen presenting cell from which the exosome is derived. Empty MHC molecules on exosomes may also be loaded with peptides afterwards.

Abstract: A apparatus is provided for detecting deformation in solids in deep holes having a resilient vessel pre-stressed into a rock formation. The vessel is filled with fluid and is sealed except for an outlet tube of small diameter which extends all the way to, or close to, the surface. There the outlet tube terminates in an extensible bellows isolated from the atmosphere in an enclosed sealed vessel. The whole apparatus is completely filled with fluid. Any deformation of the vessel will cause fluid to be forced through the outlet tube and so cause the bellows to extend or contract. This motion can be monitored by any position-sensitive transducer such as a linear variable differential transformer or capacitance bridge. A second tube of the same length and size as the outlet tube is filled with the same fluid. This tube terminates at the bottom in close proximity to the resilient vessel. It also has a bellows and a displacement transducer at its upper end at the surface housed in an enclosed sealed vessel.

Abstract: The cladding panel comprises upper and lower cladding (10,11) covering a core (12) of injected plastics foam which sets and bonds the panel together. The outer edges of the cladding are fitted with profile strips on the foam side. The profiles overlap and form a barrier for the injected foam. The overlap is selected to provide a secure closure or a seal is placed between the profiles prior to foaming. The panel is jigged to provide the correct thickness of foam core. The edging strips eliminate the need for a mould and enable different sizes of panel to be made. Different shapes of edging strip can be used, including interlocking profiles as well as strips which enable adjacent panels to be linked.

Abstract: An improved, multi-strand design of a transverse flux machine with unilateral stator and rotor, with essentially U-shaped yokes (6) and I-shaped yokes (3) in the stator, as well as a rotor with permanent magnets (5) that are attached planar and a circular back iron (4). The bending of the U-shaped yokes (6) at a right angle results in a considerable reduction of the leakage paths. A joint use of the stator yoke by several strands results in a considerable increase in the torque density, as compared to known embodiments. The direct cooling of winding and stator iron makes it possible to have a machine design with considerably reduced eddy current losses.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé de régulation de la germination des tubercules, consistant en l'application d'isopropyl-3-chlorophénylcarbamate (CIPC) et de carvone ou de CIPC et de benzothiazole, et en un stockage des tubercules traités. Selon une réalisation préférée de l'invention, on traite les tubercules à conserver avec une composition de CIPC et de carvone ou de CIPC et de benzothiazole à l'aide d'un pulvérisateur thermique, ce qui permet d'obtenir un résidu efficace moyen de CIPC sur les tubercules représentant approximativement 16,6 ppm. Lorsque les tubercules doivent servir à faire pousser des plantes productrices de tubercules, par exemple lorsque les tubercules servent de plants de pommes de terre, après leur retrait du lieu de stockage, on traite lesdits plants de pommes de terre avec de l'éthylène au moment de la plantation, ce qui permet de stimuler alors le développement des germes.

Abstract: A system for detecting and reporting memory errors in error correctable memory in a computer system includes a chipset that utilizes the error correctable memory for creating an error detection signal when a memory error occurs. The error detection signal includes data that may be utilized to identify the error correctable memory having a memory error. The system further includes a motherboard having two or more memory interface slots, where the error correctable memory is coupled with at least one of the interface slots, and each of the at least one slots has a unique slot identification number. The chipset is coupled to the motherboard, and the system further includes a driver coupled to the chipset. The motherboard has at least one register that receives the error detection signal and stores the data in the error detection signal in the at least one register. Furthermore, the driver reads the at least one register to determine which memory interface slot number is coupled with the error correctable memory having the error. The driver then determines the slot number based upon the contents of the at least one register.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for "copy-once" of a digital video signal uses a watermark in the video signal. The embedded watermark has two versions: one indicates copy-never and a second indicates copy-once, the difference being a single watermark bit. The watermark carries additional bits representing a digitized attribute (image characteristic) of a particular video frame of the video signal, for instance an average value of the amplitude of a video field. The frame whose attribute is carried in the watermark has a field (or frame) marker, which is a special signal located in the overscan portion of the frame. A compliant video recorder verifies the watermark and the copy-once bit, extracts the associated attribute from the watermark, and compares it to the measured attribute of the marked video frame. Only if the extracted attribute value and the measured attribute value match is recording enabled. During the recording process, the frame markers are stripped, preventing second generation copies of the recorded video signal, and the copy-once bit is set to copy-never.

Abstract: This invention relates to articles made of polyester, preferably polyethylene terephthalate (PET), having coated directly to at least one of the surfaces thereof one or more layers of thermoplastic material with good gas-barrier characteristics, and novel methods of making such articles. Preferably the barrier-coated articles take the form of preforms coated by at least one layer of barrier material and the containers blow-molded therefrom. Such barrier-coated containers are preferably of the type to hold beverages such as soft drinks, beer or juice. The preferred barrier materials have a lower permeability to oxygen and carbon dioxide than PET as well as key physical properties similar to PET. The materials and methods provide that the barrier layers have good adherence to PET, even during and after the blow molding process to form containers from preforms. Preferred barrier coating materials include poly(hydroxyamino ethers). In one preferred method, preforms are injection molded then barrier-coated immediately thereafter.
