Abstract: The invention describes novel methods for calibrating or
standardizing flow cytometry instruments using synthetic polymer particles
or beads having physical properties which provide advantages for their use
in such instruments. The polymer particles or beads employed in the
calibration methods are spherical, have an average particle diameter of from
about 1 to about 8 microns, a relatively narrow particle distribution and a
low refractive index, i.e., from about 1.35 to about 1.45. The particles are
safe, stable for long time periods and are particularly suitable for
employment as hematology analyzer calibration substances. The invention
provides an advantageous improvement over the types of standards
currently used to calibrate a variety of instruments that rely on light scatter
combined with other parameters to identify and measure biological particles
or cells, as well as nonbiological particles. In particular, using the
calibration/standardization method and polymer particles according to the
present invention allows hematology instruments to be calibrated and
standardized for subsequent accurate and reliable determinations of red blood
cells, reticulocytes, white blood cells and platelets in whole blood samples.

Abstract: The present invention describes a process for determining and
creating the most favourable telephone connection between
caller and receiver. The caller specifies before the start of
the conversation an order for carrying out a conversation. This
may be effected over a separate data processing system which is
connected to a comparison and selection system or directly via
the dialling process. The comparison and selection system which
is connected with the telecommunications service providers via
a data network, receives a quotation for the telecommunications
service provider for each order and determines from the incoming
quotations the most favourable tariff and then makes a connection
through the switching system between the caller and receiver.
The advantage of the present invention resides in the
fact that telephone conversations are always carried out via
the most favourable telecommunications service provider and
that the telecommunications service providers can always make
optimum use of their transmission capacities. The use of a comparison
and selection system ensures that up-to-date tariff information
from the telecommunications service providers is always
accessed. Central databases for the storage of all tariff
information are therefore redundant.

Abstract: The present invention discloses and claims vaccines containing, as an active ingredient, a secreted recombinantly produced dimeric form of truncated flaviviral envelope protein. The vaccines are capable of eliciting the production of neutralizing antibodies against flaviviruses. The dimeric forms of truncated flaviviral envelope protein are formed 1) by directly linking two tandem copies of 80% E in a head to tail fashion via a flexible tether; 2) via the formation of a leucine zipper domain through the homodimeric association of two leucine zipper helices each fused to the carboxy terminus of an 80% E molecule; or 3) via the formation of a non-covalently associated four-helix bundle domain formed upon association of two helix-turn-helix moieties each attached to the carboxy terminus of an 80% E molecule. All products are expressed as a polyprotein including prM and the modified 80% E products are secreted from Drosophila melanogaster Schneider 2 cells using the human tissue plasminogen activator secretion signal sequence (tPAL). Secreted products are generally more easily purified than those expressed intracellularly, facilitating vaccine production. One embodiment of the present invention is directed to a vaccine for protection of a subject against infection by dengue virus. The vaccine contains, as active ingredient, the dimeric form of truncated envelope protein of a dengue virus serotype. The dimeric truncated E is secreted as a recombinantly produced protein from eucaryotic cells. The vaccine may further contain portions of additional dengue virus serotype dimeric E proteins similarly produced. Another embodiment of the present invention is directed to methods to utilize the dimeric form of truncated dengue envelope protein for diagnosis of infection in individuals at risk for the disease. The diagnostic contains, as active ingredient, the dimeric form of truncated envelope protein of a dengue virus serotype. The dimeric truncated E is secreted as a recombinantly produced protein from eucaryotic cells. The diagnostic may further contain portions of additional dengue virus serotype dimeric E proteins similarly produced.

Abstract: Provided is a dynamic bit allocation apparatus and
method for audio coding which can be used widely for almost all
digital audio compression systems and besides implemented
simply with low cost. The bit allocation apparatus and method
perform a very efficient bit allocation process, paying
attention to a psychoacoustics behavior of the human audio
characteristics with a simplified simultaneous masking model.
In this process, peak energies of units in frequency divisional
bands are computed, and a masking effect that is a minimum audio
limit with the use of a simplified simultaneous masking effect
model is computed and set as an absolute threshold for each unit.
Then, a signal-to-mask ratio of each unit is computed, and then,
based on this, an efficient dynamic bit allocation is performed.

transmission which is constructed in this arrangement, the amount of
lubrication oil that flows near to the periphery of the pulley which is positioned
lower is comparatively small. Thus, this arrangement restricts agitation of the
lubrication oil, which may be caused by the raised portions of the rotating
pulley. Therefore, loss in the rotation of the pulley and oxidation and
degradation of the lubrication oil are effectively prevented.
