Title: Inhibition of protease activity of human whole blood cell lysates
Inventor: OH SE-KYUNG
IPC: C12N9/99
Filed: 1995-03-09
Abstract: A method of inhibiting proteolytic degradation of a thermally-stable intracellular protein is described. The method involves adding 1 or more denaturing agents to a sample which contains the protease and the protein of interest and heating the resulting solution at a temperature and for period of time sufficient to denature the protease. The method optionally includes a step for lysing the cell if the protein of interest is contained in a cell in order to release said protein. Additionally, a method of determining Mx protein induced by interferon in a blood sample is described. The method involves adding to a blood sample a lysing agent, a denaturing agent, and detergent selected to solubilize Mx protein. The sample containing Mx protein is then heated at a temperature of from about 50 .degree.C to about 60 .degree.C for a period of time of from about 1 minute to about 30 minutes, and the Mx protein in the solution then is determined. Also described is a solution including a synthetic matrix mimicking whole blood cell lysates, or actual whole blood cell lysates, to which a known concentration of a thermally-stable intracellular protein is added to prepare a control material. In addition, a solution free of a protease that degrades the intracellular protein is disclosed, such solution remaining stable at 4 .degree.C for at least three weeks.

Patent CA-2186879-A1 (CA)
Inventor: THOMPSON LEO J
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 1995-03-28
Abstract: A broadband communications system for coupling telephony or other digital networks to a CATV network. The system transmits a multiplex of telephony signals in the forward band of the CATV network. Each forward channel is QPR modulated on a carrier and contains multiple subscriber telephony signals. The forward telephony channels are demodulated and multiplexed by a plurality of subscriber terminals into the individual telephonysignals directed to an addressed subscriber. Audio and control signals returningfrom the subscriber are digitized into standard telephony signals and QPSK modulated on a carrier onto the reverse band of the CATV network. The multiplicity of reverse band telephony channels are demodulated and multiplexed into a standard telephony signal which is directly interfaced to thetelephony network. The reverse band modulators are frequency agile and modulate telephony signals from a subscriber in a selected one or more frequency subbands in the reverse band of the subscription network.

Title: Tire monitoring system and method
Inventor: FREY NORMAN W
IPC: G08C19/16
Filed: 1996-11-05
Abstract: A method and system for monitoring and measuring the amount of deflection of a pneumatic tire wherein said monitoring system in the tire detects tire sidewall deflection by measuring the length of the tire contact patch area relative to the total circumference of the tire. The embedded sensor device generates a signal which varies as it passes through the tire contact patch within the tire on a moving vehicle. If the vehicle is moving at a constant speed, the ratio of time which the sensor spends inside the contact patch to the time the sensor spends outside the contact patch is proportional to tire deflection. Sensor electrical signals are digitized and counted to determine deflection, tire speed and the number of tire revolutions to improve performance of both the tire and the vehicle.

Inventor: LARSON BRENT D
IPC: G09F9/35
Filed: 1995-06-30
Abstract: An approach for constructing active matrix liquid crystal light valves having very high aperture ratio is described. This is achieved by burying the pixel addressing elements beneath a planarized array of nearly contiguous pixel electrodes and minimizing the footprint of opaque structures in the light valve. Undesirable field-induced disclinations and deformations of the liquid crystal are minimized by shielding the addressing structures with the pixel electrodes. Embodiments are provided which utilize the approach to improve transmittance, image quality, yield, design flexibility and functionality of the display.
