Abstract: The waveguide comprises a buffer layer (2) deposited on the substrate (1), and a waveguide layer (3) is formed on this buffer layer. On the waveguide layer (3) there is a supplementary layer (4) in order to form a symmetrical refractive index structure. The waveguide comprises several layers stacked on top of a silicon substrate. A buffer layer (2) is deposited on the substrate (1), and a guiding layer (3) is formed on this buffer layer, enabling the formation of a waveguide (6). an exterior protection layer (5) is applied to protect against external damage, the layers being formed in an organic-inorganic hybrid using the sol-gel method. On the waveguide layer (3) there is a supplementary layer (4) in order to form a symmetrical structure, providing the same refractive index on either side of the guiding layer (3). This supplementary layer may be the same as the buffer layer (2), having the same refractive index as this buffer layer. The waveguide layer may be formed from the same solution as the buffer layers after the addition of a photo-initiator.

Abstract: The hepatitis B virus (HBV) capsid is made up of a single species of protein called the core antigen (HBcAg) which self-assembles into particles. The particles are highly immunogenic and are able to present heterologous epitopes to the immune system when the epitopes are inserted into a surface-exposed region of the particles called the "e1 loop". The structural building blocks of the particles are tightly associated dimers of HBcAg in which the adjacent e1 loops are closely juxtaposed. It is proposed that sequences inserted into the e1 loop are conformationally restrained in the assembled particles when presented in monomeric core protein. The invention seeks to solve this problem by covalently linking core proteins as tandem copies (e.g., as dimers) so that insertions can be made independently in each copy. This is particularly useful for insertion of large sequences into the e1 loop because it allows such sequences to be inserted into just one copy of the core protein per tandem repeat, thereby reducing potential conformational clashes in assembly. Alternatively, a different sequence may be inserted into each e1 loop of a tandem repeat, thus increasing the flexibility of HBcAg particles as an epitope delivery system.

Abstract: By a new method for the fastening of pelts stretched on pelt-boards, the belt is secured in a stretched position on the pelt-board by means of a sleeve/bag which is drawn over and around the pelt, so that the pelt is pressed in and locked against the pelt-board by means of the sleeve/bag. The method gives rise to the need for the pelts to be stretched out longer on the pelt-board than has hitherto been possible without damaging the pelts, inasmuch as the pelts will have a tendency to shrink slightly more when they are not fastened to the pelt-board by means of the staples traditionally used. During the stretching of the pelt in a pelt processing machine, by imparting a vibrating movement to the pelt-board and/or the gripping elements while implementing the relative displacement in the longitudinal direction of the pelt-board respectively between the holding elements for the fastening of the pelt, and the first and/or second set of gripping elements for the stretching of the pelt, for example a mink pelt placed loosely beforehand on the pelt-board, it is achieved that the pelt can be stretch out to the desired length without damage to the pelt.

Abstract: The technique of the present invention enables a desired dot record mode to be readily set for an individual dot recording apparatus. The procedure generates first displacement data, which represents deviations of dot recording position in a sub-scanning direction intrinsic to respective dot forming elements, as well as second displacement data, which represents errors of sub-scan feed. The procedure then selects a desired dot record mode among a plurality of dot record modes having identical resolution and recording speed but different combinations of feeding amounts of sub-scan, based on the first displacement data and the second displacement data. The dot recording apparatus then carries out main scan and sub-scan with a dot record head to record dots on a printing medium in the selected dot record mode. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for protecting against and/or responding to an overload condition at a node (“victim”) in a distributed network divert traffic otherwise destined for the victim to one or more other nodes, which can filter the diverted traffic, passing a portion of it to the victim, and/or effect processing of one or more of the diverted packets on behalf of the victim. Diversion can be performed by one or more nodes (collectively, a “first set” of nodes) external to the victim. Filtering and/or effecting traffic processing can be performed by one or more nodes (collectively, a “second set” of nodes) also external to the victim. Those first and second sets can have zero, one or more nodes in common—or, put another way, they may wholly, partially or not overlap. The methods and apparatus have application in protecting nodes in a distributed network, such as the Internet, against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.
