Patent GB-0114268-D0 (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to smart antenna arrays
IPC: H01Q1/24
Filed: 2001-06-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to a beamforming method for smart antenna arrays, and in particular relates to a beamforming method for smart two-dimensional antennas. Smart antennas employ arrays of low gain antennas connected to a combining/beamforming network. Smart antennas can provide enhanced coverage through range extension, hole filling and improved building penetration. By improving transmission and reception at the base station, the tolerable path losses can be increased whereby the range of the base station can be improved. A first aspect of the invention thus provides a method of generating low sidelobe beampatterns for 2-dimensional arrays. A further aspect addresses the feedback signalling techniques which are presently being considered by standard bodies for four antennas in large arrays. The invention is suitable for CDMA wireless cellular systems, as presently determined for third generation cellular wireless networks, and other wireless systems such as TDMA systems and wireless LANs. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Title: A novel HPV vaccine comprising peptides from host cell proteins
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 2004-08-05
Abstract: The present invention relates to a human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine that comprises peptides from host cell proteins and more particularly, a vaccine that is directed against cancers that are associated with HPV infections, such as cervical cancer, head and neck cancer and skin cancers. The peptides comprise fragments of host cell proteins that have been targeted for degradation by HPV proteins, such as E6 and E7 and are presented on the surface of HPV infected cells in relatively large amounts. These peptides can be recognised by CTL and elicit an immune response, and are therefore ideal tumour-specific markers. The invention also relates to novel peptide: peptide complexes such as peptide/HLA complexes and their use in a tumour-specific vaccine.

Title: Improvements in edible fats
IPC: A23D7/00
Filed: 1991-02-04
Abstract: The processability of a margarine or other edible spread fat blends and the properties of the resulting products are to a large extent determined by the crystallisation behaviour of the fat blend. Problems of delayed crystallisation are known in the art of margarine or other spread manufacture, in particular, it is common knowledge in margarine blend formulation that interesterification of fats quite often results in slower crystallising fat blends and often fat blends which are impractically or inconveniently slow to crystallise. We have now determined that the crystallisation of margarine fats from a supercooled melt can be accelerated by the use of a triglyceride having a trans fatty acid at the 2-position, preferably a 1,3-saturated-2-trans-unsaturated (FTF) tempering accelerator. These include, in particular the HTH TAGs where H is stearic or palmitic, and especially PEP.

The term "nuts" as used herein refers to edible whole or half kernels of nuts such as hazelnuts, peanuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, pecans, walnuts and the like. The described process for producing reduced fat nuts comprising pressing the nuts to remove a proportion of the oil therein, exposing the oil-depleted nuts to moisture to hydrate them to a desired degree, drying the hydrated nuts to dry them to a desired degree, and then optionally roasting them, wherein at least part of the drying and/or of the roasting when carried out is effected using microwave radiation. Preferably the oil-depleted nuts are hydrated by subjecting them to steam, especially at a pressure of from 0.5 to 5.0 bars for from 0.5 to 5.0 minutes at a temperature of from 90 to 150 DEG C. The nuts produced by the process of this invention have good sensory properties and are essentially free from contamination by bacteria, yeasts and moulds.
