Abstract: L'invention porte sur l'anticorps monoclonal 1A7. Il s'agit d'un anti-idiotype produit par immunisation par un anticorps spécifique du ganglioside GD2 et identification d'un anticorps sécrétant un hybridome présentant un potentiel immunogène dans un procédé de dépistage à plusieurs étages. Sont également présentés des dérivés de polynucléotides et de polypeptides du 1A7 comportant des molécules monocaténées de région variable et des protéines de fusion et différentes préparations pharmaceutiques. Lorsqu'on l'administre à un individu, l'anticorps 1A7 surmonte la tolérance immunitaire et provoque une réponse immunitaire vis à vis du GD2 qui comprend un mélange d'anticorps anti-GD2 et de cellules T spécifiques du GD2. L'invention porte en outre sur des méthodes de traitement de maladies associées à une expression modifiée du GD2 et en particulier du mélanome, du neuroblastome, du gliome, du sarcome des tissus mous, ou du carcinome des petites cellules. Les patients en rémission suite à une thérapie usuelle anticancéreuse traités par la susdite composition peuvent espérer une réduction du risque de rechute.

Abstract: A device and method for interactive tennis practice
to improve a player's skills and sense and record the
player's performance. One of a number of predetermined
practice drill patterns are selected, a ball machine is
controlled to project tennis balls onto a tennis court in
the selected practice drill pattern, and the points of
impact of the tennis balls after they have been struck by a
player are sensed and displayed on a video screen. The
player may select one of several predetermined target areas
on the court for display on the video screen, and the sensed
points of impact may be recorded for later retrieval. The
ball machine may project tennis balls in timed response to
the sensing of the impacts of balls struck by the player.
Game play may be simulated by selecting one of a number of
predetermined target areas on the tennis court, projecting
a tennis ball to be struck by the player onto the court,
sensing the impact of the tennis ball in the target area
after it has been struck, controlling the ball machine to
project another ball in timed response to the sensed impact,
and projecting another ball each time an impact in the
target area is sensed.

Abstract: A system for electronically powering an
acoustooptic device. A radio-frequency (RF) generator
supplies RF drive power at a drive carrier frequency. A
signal source delivers a modulating signal. An RF
modulator modulates the RF drive power with the
modulating signal. Two compensating RF power generators
supply high-frequency and low-frequency compensating
power at frequencies greater than and less than the drive
carrier frequency. Operational amplifiers and modulators
modulate the compensating power with signals derived from
the signal source such that the modulated compensating
power is the complement of the modulated RF drive power.
A summer combines the modulated RF drive power and
compensating power to drive the acoustooptic device such
that the spatial thermal energy distribution inside the
acoustooptic device remains substantially constant.

Abstract: In a system for simulcasting digitally modulated
and analog FM signals over the same FM frequency band, the
effect of the analog FM signal on the digitally modulated
signal in the simulcast is calculated and canceled from
the latter signal before its transmission. As a result,
the digital transmission is free from interference from
the analog FM signal. Moreover, the digital transmission
is designed in such a manner that the interference caused
thereby to the analog FM signal is kept at a minimal
level.

Abstract: A clock control circuit is provided in a flip-flop circuit, since a first clock
signal (CKM) supplied to a master latch circuit (10) is generated by an OR logic
(31) between a reference clock signal (CK) and a skew adjustment clock signal
(SCK), a second clock signal (CKS) supplied to a slave latch circuit (20) is
generated in accordance with the reference clock signal (CK), the first clock signal
(CKM) has a phase advanced from the second clock signal (CKS) by exactly an
amount of a skew margin. An input signal (D) is fetched into the flip-flop circuit
at the rising edge of the first clock signal (CKM), then is output at the rising edge
of the second clock signal (CKS). By this, malfunction due to the clock skew is
prevented. The flip-flop circuit can operate as in the normal mode by holding the
skew adjustment clock (SCK) at a logic "0".

Abstract: An accumulator which is capable of preventing an
excessive enlargement of the flow rate of a liquid
refrigerant which is discharged from the accumulator,
reducing the quantity of refrigerating machine oil which is
accumulated in the accumulator and maintaining a required
quantity of refrigerating machine oil in a compressor.
Liquid and a gas which circulate in a refrigerating and air-conditioning
circuit are introduced into a first space 1 by a
suction pipe 3, and the gas refrigerant is discharged to a
refrigerating and air-conditioning circuit through a gas
passage pipe 4, a second space 2 and a discharge pipe 5.
Moreover, liquid-level maintaining means 7 and 8 prevent rise
in the height of the accumulated liquid introduced into the
first space 1. When the height has been made to be not lower
than a predetermined height, the gas communication means 4
moves liquid in the first space from the first space 1 to the
second space 2. In addition, a returning means 6 discharges
refrigerating machine oil accumulated in the first space 1 to
the refrigerating and air-conditioning circuit.

Abstract: All two-character chains including two general characters
and all three-character chains including one special character
between two general characters are detected from a
registration character string in which a large number of
special characters not having any meaning are frequently
arranged, or all two-character chains including two general or
symbolic characters are detected from a converted registration
character string produced by changing each special character
of the registration character string to one type of symbolic
character determined in correspondence to one general
character adjacent to the special character. Also, occurrence
frequencies of the general or symbolic characters of each
chain are counted and stored in a recording medium with the
registration character chains. When a retrieval character
chain is input, occurrence frequencies of particular character
chains corresponding to all retrieval character chains
detected from the retrieval character string in the same
manner are read out from the recording medium and are collated
with each other, and a particular character string agreeing
with the retrieval character chain is retrieved from the
registration character string. Because an occurrence frequency
of any special character is not counted or the special
characters are changed to various types of symbolic
characters, a recording area required for the occurrence 
frequencies of the registration character chains can be
reduced.
