Abstract: The in-phase and quadrature channels are mixed (IQM1) with a quarter of the sampling rate of the input signal. A single interpolator (IP1) calculates the sample values of the Q channel. The samples from both channels are balanced prior to half-band filtering (HBF1) and decimation (DZ1). An I-Q re-mixer (IQR1) then combines the two partial signals into a single output, at a sampling rate which is only half of the decimated sampling rate in the separate channels.

Abstract: An inverter circuit has a DC intermediate circuit with a capacitance Ä5Ü between positive and negative rails Ä3,4Ü located between a DC supply Ä12Ü and the inverter itselfÄ6Ü. There is a controlled current source Ä7Ü which feeds a current into, or withdraws a current from, the capacitance depending on the result of a comparison of parameters. The current source contains an electronically controlled inductance. One side of the inductance is connected to the positive rail through a semiconducting switch Ä9Ü like a GTO, and the other side joins the negative rail through a freewheeling diode Ä10Ü. The control unit Ä11Ü for the parameter comparison opens two semiconducting switches Ä9Ü if the intermediate voltage is too big, and closes them if it is too small. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An increased level of translation of a selected mRNA molecule is effected by coupling specific nucleotide sequences at the 5'- and 3' -ends of a nucleic acid molecule transcribable to or which itself is the mRNA molecule. The nucleotide sequence at the 5'-end is effective to increase the rate of translation initiation of the mRNA molecule in a cell while the nucleotide sequence at the 3'-end is effective to increase the period of translation of the mRNA molecule in a cell. The nucleotide sequence of the 3'-end is provided by a 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of a gene, particularly that of β-prolactin, or an effective fragment thereof. A polyadenylation sequence preferably is provided at the 3'-end of the 3'-UTR sequence. The 3'-UTR sequence provides mRNA stabilization independent of the poly A tail.

La résine et le polymère de la composition acide peuvent être identiques ou différents. La taille moyenne des particules solides d'acide enrobées est de l'ordre de 0,5 à 50 micromètres. Lorsqu'elles sont utilisées dans un revêtement pulvérulent, lesdites particules solides enrobées réduisent ou éliminent la sublimation de l'agent de réticulation acide dudit revêtement pendant la phase de durcissement. De plus, ces particules solides enrobées augmentent la durée de conservation du revêtement pulvérulent dans lequel elles sont utilisées. Elles augmentent également les caractéristiques d'écoulement dudit revêtement pendant son durcissement ainsi que le brillant et la qualité de surface du revêtement final durci.
