Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un kit permettant de détecter et de caractériser un composant cellulaire ou une petite molécule. Dans lesdits procédé et kit on utilise un ligand hybride (7) formé de deux ligands, l'un des deux ligands étant une petite molécule (7b) dont la spécificité est à déterminer tandis que l'autre ligand présente une spécificité pour une cible prédéterminée (7a). Le ligand hybride est introduit dans un milieu contenant: un premier vecteur d'expression codant une cible pour l'un des ligands, lié à une séquence codante d'un premier module transcriptionnel (8); et un deuxième vecteur d'expression comprenant une cible pour l'autre ligand, lié à une séquence codante d'un deuxième module transcriptionnel (9). Le milieu comprend en outre un troisième vecteur (6) contenant un gène marqueur, l'expression du gène marqueur (5) dépendant de la proximité du premier et du deuxième module transcriptionnel, proximité facilitée par la liaison avec leur cible des deux ligands composant le ligand hybride.

Granted: 2004-01-20
Abstract: Computer telephone integration (CTI) server having dial-up network access. By providing increased integration between a CTI server and the public switched telephone network (PSTN), enhanced features can be provided to users of the CTI server for accessing on-line services. The server connects with on-line service pro-viders either through a PSTN office or a dedicated data network which is associated with the PSTN. The dedicated data network is usually either a frame relay or an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network. The CTI server can also be connected to customer premises equipment (CPE) through a PSTN office to provide CTI  services to dial-up users. Additionally, the CTI server can provide simultaneous access to multiple service providers which allows better integration of CTI services and services provided by Internet service providers.

Title: Use of a multi-component coil medical construct
Inventor: HUXEL SHAWN T
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1998-12-16
Granted: 2007-12-11
Abstract: There is described a process for deploying a medical construct in a body cavity, so as to function for example as a stent in a body lumen. The construct is used by forming a coil from a strand that has an interior and an exterior portion, and thereafter heating while expanding the coil so as to melt only the exterior portion. When that melted portion resolidifies with the coil in the expanded state, the coil's integrity and resistance against forces such as compression is maintained by the unmelted but stretched interior portion, and the expanded shape is maintained by the adhesiveness of the solidified exterior portion.

Title: Device and method for compensating phase distortion
Inventor: CARLSSON TORSTEN
IPC: H03F1/34
Filed: 1997-06-10
Granted: 2004-08-24
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of compensating for the phase distortion that occurs in a power amplified output signal in response to the output power of a power amplifier. The invention also relates to a phase distortion compensating device. The device includes a phase-locking and upconversion loop (30-39) which is connected to the input of a power amplifier (40). Briefly, the solution involves feeding a part of the signal (e pha) to be amplified back to a circuit (35) which combines this first mentioned signal with a part of the amplified signal (e out) fed back from the output of the power amplifier (40), so as to achieve a smooth transition in the dominance of one signal over the other signal when the two signals are combined to obtain a new feedback signal (e fdb) from the combining circuit (35).

Abstract: The invention is a method of inhibiting the production of nitric oxide (NO) in an in vivo, in vitro, or ex vivo biological system. The method employs a tetracycline compound to inhibit the production of NO and/or to inhibit the expression or activity of an inducible isoform ot nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Preferably, the tetraclycine compou nd has inhibitory activity for metalloproteinases. Also it is preferred that the tetracycline compound is provided to the biological syste m in an amount which has little or no antibacterial activity in the system. Accordingly, preferred tetraclycine compounds are tetracycline compounds which have been modified to reduce or eliminate their antimicrobial activity. The method can be used to treat medical conditions in mammals characterized by NO production mediated by iNOS, including, for example, inflammatory conditions.

Title: Optical transmission system including optical restoration
Inventor: GARTNER WILLIAM JOSEPH
IPC: H04B10/275
Filed: 1999-03-22
Granted: 2004-02-17
Abstract: An optical communications system employs a plurality of optical nodes interconnected in a ring configuration by at least two optical transmission media, for example, optical fiber. The at least two optical transmission media, in this example, provide optical service transmission capacity and optical protection transmission capacity. Efficient restoration of optical communications between optical nodes in the ring, after an optical transmission media failure, is realized by employing a relatively simple and efficient optical switch matrix having a first number of possible switching states and, then, by utilizing only a second number of the switching states fewer than the first number to switch optically from the optical service transmission capacity of the failed or faulted optical transmission media to the optical protection transmission capacity of another optical transmission media. Optical switching states of the optical switch matrix are blocked that are not actively used for switching from the active optical service capacity of the faulted optical transmission media to the standby optical protection capacity of the other optical transmission media. Use of this relatively simple optical switch matrix allows for the bulk switching of the optical wavelengths as contrasted with the one-to-one switching of the optical wavelengths used in prior arrangements. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, each of the at least two optical transmission media provides both bi-directional service transmission capacity and bi-directional protection transmission capacity. In a specific embodiment of the invention, each optical transmission channel (wavelength) includes 50 percent bi-directional optical service transmission capacity and 50 percent bi-directional optical protection transmission capacity. In another embodiment of the invention, one of the at least two optical transmission media provides active optical service transmission capacity and another of the optical transmission media provides standby optical protection transmission capacity. In still another embodiment of the invention, at least four optical transmission media (optical fiber) are utilized to provide transmit and receive active optical service transmission capacity and transmit and receive standby optical protection transmission capacity. Specifically, one pair of the optical transmission media is used to provide bi-directional transmit and receive active optical service transmission capacity and another pair of the optical transmission media is used to provide the bi-directional transmit and receive standby optical protection transmission capacity.

Abstract: A dual fuel nozzle is provided with two different size injection holes. The first injection holes have larger diameters and are used only for injecting gaseous fuel into a combustion chamber. On the other hand, the second injection nozzles have smaller diameters and are used for injecting either gaseous fuel or liquid fuel as required. When gaseous fuel is used, if the fuel injection amount is large or medium, both of the first and the second injection holes or first injection holes only are used for injecting gaseous fuel depending upon the required fuel injection amount. When the fuel injection amount is low, only the second injection hole is used for injecting gaseous fuel. Therefore, the pressure drop across the fuel nozzle can be kept at sufficiently high level even when the fuel injection amount is low, and thereby combustion vibration is suppressed. Further, when liquid fuel is used, a premixed fuel and steam mixture is injected from the second injection holes. This also keep the pressure drop across the fuel nozzle at high level in order to suppress combustion vibration when the fuel injection amount is low.
