Abstract: The present invention provides a method for screening of a large number of compounds for their ability to modulate the expression of genes. The method uses gene trap technology and comprises the steps of transfecting a population of cells with a gene-trap vector, sorting cells according to their level of fluorescence, distributing sorted cells into pools and expanding the pools to obtain a sufficient number of cells representing each trapped gene to permit distinction of the effect of a test compound over controls, exposing the cells to the test compounds and identifying compounds which alter the fluorescence distribution pattern of cells using FACS analysis.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electric kettle for heating water whereby the kettle has an electric heating element with an electronic regulator which detects the temperature and the duration of heating via sensors.  The kettle comprises a non volatile electronic memory wherein predefined characteristic data is stored for verifying the sensor information.  The invention also relates to a method for regulating a heating process for a kettle of said type, comprising the following steps: switching on a heating element; measuring the increase in temperature  DELTA T at a predetermined time interval ttot-to; switching off the heating element if the measured temperature increase  DELTA T is less than or equal to Tmin; measuring the temperature T at the time tmax; switching off the heating element if the measured temperature Ttmax is greater than the stored temperature Tmax; regular completion of the heating process.  The invention enables a simple and secure detection of and response to an error function occurring in the heating element or the electronic regulator in the electric kettle.

Abstract: A boot method an apparatus are described which reduce the likelihood of a security breach in a mobile device, preferably in a situation where a reset has been initiated. A predetermined security value, or password, is stored, for example in BootROM. A value of a security location within FLASH memory is read and the two values are compared. Polling of the serial port is selectively performed, depending on the result of such comparison. In a presently preferred embodiment, if the value in the security location matches the predetermined security value, then polling of the serial port is not performed. This reduces potential security breaches caused in conventional arrangements where code may be downloaded from the serial port and executed, which allows anyone to access and upload programs and data in the FLASH memory, including confidential and proprietary information.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling atmospheric conditions in a portion of the atmosphere for weather modification is described. The control of atmospheric conditions is carried out by controllably urging the collisions between the water droplets in the atmosphere so as to cause their controllable coalescence. The urging is characterized by adjusting non-gravitational attraction forces between the droplets to a predetermined value so as to alter a collision rate between the water droplets to a desired value. The changes of the non-gravitational attraction force between the droplets are achieved by dosed seeding in a portion of a cloud or fog a particulate material that is electrically charged to a required magnitude and polarity. The dosed seeding of the charged materials controls the concentration of the charged droplets and the electric attraction between the charged droplets with neutral droplets as well as the electric interaction between the charged droplets.

At least one part of each fibre (12) has a cruciform contact point with another fibre (12). The fibres (12) adhere or bond to each other at contact points (18). Also claimed is a process to manufacture the cigarette filter in which the bi-component fibre is manufactured and chopped to a length less than that of the filter. The fibres (12) are heated to a temperature above that of the fibre sleeve (21) and then allowed to cool. The fibres are surrendered to a conveyer belt on which a powder additive is admixed prior to final conversion to filter form.

Abstract: According to prior art, the surfaces of heated strips or metal plates are directly impinged upon with fan jet nozzles along the entire width thereof for quick cooling. Inhomogeneous water quantities can lead to irregularities in cooling between and within the target surfaces. The use of a plurality of low-diameter coolant jets also known per se, whereby the coolant is fully vaporised, requires a great deal of effort in terms of filters for the recycled coolant. According to both methods, when the strips are cooled, there is a risk of warping. The aim of the invention is to develop a method and a device which solve the above-mentioned problems. According to the invention, the lower surface of the strips or plates are mainly impinged upon by water jets which exit from full jet nozzles having a diameter of 0.5   5 mm and which are arranged in at least one row.

Abstract: There is described herein a method of synchronizing a border gateway protocol (BGP) routing system with peer BGP routing systems after failure of a primary processor of the BGP routing system. In such a system, the primary processor may utilize an original routing database for performing routing and may maintain a prefix table accessible to a backup routing processor listing prefixes of routes of the original routing database. The method may be performed by the backup processor upon detection of a failure of the primary routing processor. The method includes sending BGP route refresh messages to the BGP peer routing systems, the BGP route refresh messages requesting routes supported by the BGP peer routing systems, and receiving routes from the BGP peer routing systems in response to the BGP route refresh messages. A backup routing database may be generated from the routes received from the BGP peer routing systems. The backup processor may then compare the prefixes of routes in the backup routing database with prefixes in the prefix table. A BGP route withdraw message may be sent to any peer routing system for routes having prefixes listed in the prefix table but not identified in the backup routing database.

Abstract: Provided are methods, data processing systems, recovery components and computer programs for recovering from storage failures affecting data repositories. At least a part of the recovery processing is performed while the data repositories are able to receive new data and to allow retrieval of such new data. Although new data items may be received into the repository and retrieved therefrom during recovery processing, updates to the data repository which were performed before the failure and which are then restored to the repository by the recovery processing are restored within a recovery unit of work and are inaccessible to processes other than the recovery process until successful completion of the recovery unit of work. The recovery processing ensures that the recovered repository is consistent with the state of the repository at the time of the failure, but is available for addition and retrieval of new data items before completion of the recovery processing.
