Patent EP-1536013-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ARIMA TERUKATSU
IPC: C07K14/18
Filed: 2002-12-03
Abstract: A novel cDNA clone-K, has been isolated and characterized as
encoding a previously unknown polypeptide antigen recognized
by antibodies in the serum of certain patients with chronic non-B
non-C hepatitis or acute non-A non-B non-C non-D non-E non-G
(NA-G) hepatitis. Hepatitis relating to anti-K-polypeptide
antibodies in the patients' serum was disclosed to distribute
worldwide and the antibody test for donated blood will be required
to prevent blood transmission of the disease. The nucleic acid
sequence is not represented in the genome of the hepatitis A
virus (HAV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV),
hepatitis D virus (HDV), hepatitis E virus (HEV) and hepatitis
G virus (HGV). Neither is the nucleic acid sequence represented
in the human genome. The data suggest that the RNA sequence
corresponding to clone-K is contained within the genome of an
external infective agent other than HAV, HBV, HCV, HDV, HEV and
HGV, and therefore may represent an additional etiologic agent
or contributing factor to the development of NA-G hepatitis in
human patients. The K-nucleotide and corresponding polypeptide
and respective variants thereof will be useful in a variety of
procedures directed at prevention, diagnosis and treatment of
NA-G hepatitis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a facility for recovering old shells (3) stored in a disorderly manner within a given recovery area (2) of a depot. The facility comprises a cover (6) that is erected on the floor (1) of the depot, said cover enveloping the recovery area (2) and being capable of limiting the consequences of leakage of a shell (3) in its interior. The shells (3) are picked up by a first manipulator (15) that can be controlled from outside the cover (6) with the aid of a gripper. Said manipulator is suspended (15) on a crane device (11, 13, 14), with the aid of which the manipulator can be displaced in a suspended manner over the recovery area (2). A feeding device (20) introduces receiving containers (21) into the interior of the envelope (6). The first manipulator (15) puts at least one shell into said receiving container. The receiving containers (21) can be charged with explosive charges or auxiliary agents, for instance, water, which reduces the danger of the metal picrates, for subsequent disposal of the shells (3). The filled receiving containers (21) are placed by a manipulator (23) on a removal device (24). The filled receiving containers can be removed by said removal device from the interior of the envelope (6). All processes can be remote controlled, optionally under video surveillance, by an operator who is located at a sufficient distance outside the envelope (6).

Abstract: Precise V-grooves allowing an optical fiber to project are formed in
respective main surfaces of an upper plane substrate and a lower plane
substrate. The optical fiber is mounted on one plane substrate, and a
multi-layer film filter 2 is inserted into a filter insertion groove 1 crossing the
precise V-groove in the main surface of the other plane substrate. Then,
using the projecting optical fiber and the other precise V-groove as a guide
rail, two plane substrates grapple the multi-layer film filter to fix and mount
the filter. In an optical filter module obtained in this manner, a process of
adjusting an optical axis between input/output optical fibers is eliminated,
and displacement of the inserted optical filter is reduced.

Abstract: In a vehicular brake force control apparatus, an engine brake force Feb is calculated
(S30); a road surface friction coefficient µ and a rear wheel degree of grip εr is calculated
(S40); and a threshold value Ke is calculated such that the threshold value Ke increases as
the road surface friction coefficient µ becomes smaller (S70). When the rear wheel
degree of grip εr is smaller than the threshold value Ke, it is determined that vehicle
behavior of a vehicle is liable to become unstable when the engine brake force Feb acts
(S80). In this case, a sum of the engine brake force Feb and a target friction brake force
Fbv based upon a steering operation amount of a driver is distributed to each wheel in
accordance with a distribution that stabilizes the vehicle behavior of the vehicle. Based
on this distribution result, a friction brake force and an output torque of the engine are
controlled (S90 to S120).

Abstract: During mixing of an  N -channel input signal to generate an  M -channel output signal, the mixed channel signals are equalized (e.g., amplified) to maintain the overall energy/loudness level of the output signal substantially equal to the overall energy/loudness level of the input signal. In one embodiment, the  N  input channel signals are converted to the frequency domain on a frame-by-frame basis, and the overall spectral loudness of the  N -channel input signal is estimated. After mixing the spectral components for the  N  input channel signals (e.g., using weighted summation), the overall spectral loudness of the resulting  M  mixed channel signals is also estimated. A frequency-dependent gain factor, which is based on the two loudness estimates, is applied to the spectral components of the  M  mixed channel signals to generate  M  equalized mixed channel signals. The  M -channel output signal is generated by converting the  M  equalized mixed channel signals to the time domain.
