Title: Inspection of containers employing a single area array sensor and alternately strobed light sources
Inventor: JUVINALL JOHN W
IPC: G01N23/18
Filed: 1999-05-19
Granted: 2005-12-13
Abstract: Apparatus for inspecting a container that includes a first light source for generating light energy of a first character and directing the light energy onto a predetermined portion of a container under inspection, and a second light source for generating light energy of a second character different from the first character and directing such light energy onto the same predetermined portion of the container under inspection. An area array light sensor is disposed to receive a two-dimensional image of the portion of the container illuminated by the first and second light sources. The first and second light sources are sequentially and alternately strobed, and first and second two-dimensional images of the container portion under inspection are downloaded from the sensor. Commercial variations that affect optical properties of the containers are identified by comparing the first and second two-dimensional images from the respective light sources scanned from the sensor. The sensor preferably includes facility for scanning two-dimensional images in sequential frames, and the first and second images are obtained by scanning sequential frames from the sensor during which the first and second light sources are alternately strobed.

Title: Cytopathic viruses for therapy and prophylaxis of neoplasia
Inventor: BISCHOFF JAMES R
IPC: C12N1/21
Filed: 1997-12-10
Granted: 2011-02-08
Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating neoplastic conditions by viral-based therapy are provided. Mutant virus lacking viral proteins which bind and/or inactivate p53 or RB are administered to a patient having a neoplasm which comprises cells lacking p53 and/or RB  function. The mutant virus is able to substantially produce a replication phenotype in non-replicating, non-neoplastic cells having essentially normal p53 and/or RB function. The preferential generation of replication phenotype in neoplastic cells results in a preferential killing of the neoplastic cells, either directly or by expression of a cytotoxic gene in cells expressing a viral replication phenotype.

Title: Optical fiber distribution module, optical fiber cord and fiber distribution system
Inventor: NAKAO NAOKI
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 1999-07-21
Granted: 2003-10-07
Abstract: An optical fiber distribution module achieves high density of connections on one board, yet prevents fiber cord tangling created by repeated connection/disconnection of cords. The module has a connection board with an array of optical connector adaptors for connecting in-use optical fiber cords, and a storage section for storing not-in use optical fiber cords, where a plurality of cord sorting boards having a plurality of fiber cord passageways for accommodating and retaining at least one optical fiber cord is arranged between the connection board and the storage section. This design of the board enables to organize groups of cords into in-use cords and not-in-use cords. The load on the cords are supported properly so that fiber tangling and fiber distortion are prevented. Therefore, high density optical fiber can be achieved without introducing signal distortions.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à l'ADN et l'ADNc de génome codant l'enzyme  DELTA 9-desaturase dérivée d'un micro-organisme appartenant à Mortierella s.p. mortierella, à un vecteur d'expression et à un transformant pour l'expression de ce vecteur, ainsi qu'à un procédé pour préparer l'enzyme  DELTA 9-désaturase en utilisant un gène codant cette enzyme. L'introduction du gène de  DELTA 9-désaturase dans des cellules capables de produire un acide gras insaturé peuvent améliorer la conversion en acide palmitoléique et en acide oléique comme composés de départ des acides gras insaturés, ce qui résulte en un accroissement de la productivité des acides gras insaturés. Lorsqu'un gène de cytochrome b5 ou un gène de cytochrome b5 réductase, c'est-à-dire un constituant d'un système de transport d'électrons microsomique est combiné avec l'enzyme  DELTA 9-désaturase, on peut s'attendre à une production plus efficace.

Title: Nucleic acid sequence and method for selectively expressing a protein in a target cell or tissue
Inventor: FRAZIER IAN
IPC: A61P43/00
Filed: 1998-07-09
Granted: 2008-10-07
Abstract: A synthetic nucleic acid sequence and a method are disclosed for selectively expressing a protein in a target cell or tissue of a mammal. Selective expression is effected by replacing at least one existing codon of a parent nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein of interest with a synonymous codon to produce a synthetic nucleic acid sequence having altered translational kinetics compared to the parent nucleic acid sequence. The synonymous codon is selected such that it corresponds to an iso-tRNA which, when compared to an iso-tRNA  corresponding to the at least one existing codon, is in higher abundance in the target cell or tissue relative to one or more other cells or tissues of the mammal.
