Patent EP-1381052-A2 (EP)
Inventor: VAN DEN ENDEN GIJSBERT J
IPC: G11B27/034
Filed: 1997-10-20
Abstract: Reading a partly written writable record carrier having a track structure for
positioning the write head above unwritten areas of the track pattern by means of a reading
device which positions the read head on the basis of written marks, yields problems when an
isolated information block (22,23) after an unwritten area must be read. A system is disclosed for
writing and reading information blocks on a record carrier of a writable type such as a CD-RW
or a DVD-RAM. The writing device is provided with status means for generating status
information which is indicative of the fact that at least one area of the record carrier has been
written, while the status information comprises initial-area information which is indicative of
an uninterrupted written initial area (21) which extends from the start of a track pattern area
intended for writing information blocks. The status information can be fixed on the record
carrier. A reading device is also described, in which the positioning is dependent on the status
information. Reading instructions with addresses outside the initial area can be rejected or
translated via an address translation table into addresses in the initial area.

Abstract: Increasing capacity of storage media allows larger databases. This calls for efficient classification methods to enhance retrieval of data objects like pictures and films. Pictures may carry metadata related to date, time and location of creation. This helps retrieval, but combined queries hamper fast search and retrieval because lots of metadata have to be checked. The invention proposes a method of classifying the data objects by associating the data objects with classification parameters. Each classification parameter is associated with a data object when values of one or more metadata parameters fall within a certain range. Advantageous embodiments provide possibilities for automatic classification by extracting criteria for classification from the database itself. This is done by checking similarity between data objects having equal values for the classification parameter. Similarity is based on the values of the metadata related to, for example, creation of the data object.

Abstract: One form of the present invention is directed to a method of remyelinating demyelinated axons by treating the demyelinated axons with oligodendrocyte progenitor cells under conditions which permit remyelination of the axons. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of treating a subject having a condition mediated by a loss of myelin or a loss of oligodendrocytes by administering to the subject oligodendrocyte progenitor cells under conditions effective to treat the condition mediated by a loss of myelin or a loss of oligodendrocytes. A further aspect of the present invention relates to an in vitro method of identifying and separating oligodendrocyte progenitor cells from a mixed population containing other mammalian brain or spinal cord cell types. This further aspect of the present invention involves removing neurons and neuronal progenitor cells from the mixed population to produce a treated mixed population. Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells are then separated from the treated mixed population to form an enriched population of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells.

Abstract: A workflow management architecture is described. A first workflow view represents an abstraction of a first workflow associated with a first party. Similarly, a second workflow view represents a second workflow of a second party. A coalition workflow view referencing the first and second workflow views provides a collaborative workflow between the first and second parties. Thus, multiple parties may easily partner with one another to accomplish a business objective, while maintaining confidentiality of their workflow processes. Techniques for modifying an abstraction level of a workflow are described, such as may be used with the collaborative workflow, as well as techniques for making transformations between combined and individual workflows (e.g., between the two workflow views and the collaborative workflow). In implementing the workflow and workflow view of, for example, the first party, the workflow and workflow view may be compiled into an aggregate workflow and executed in a workflow engine.

Abstract: Saposin C was shown to be a trophic factor for a variety of cancer cells, e.g., prostate, lung, breast, and colon cancer cells. These cells expressed saposin C and responded to saposin C by increased levels of cell proliferation, cell migration, and cell invasion. Such activities typify and promote the neoplastic process. For prostate cancer, the androgen-insensitive prostate cancer cells responded to saposin C by higher levels of cell proliferation, cell migration and cell invasion than did the androgen-sensitive prostate cells. Stromal cells (from the prostate) were also responsive to saposin C-mediated signals in a manner typical of growth promoting compounds. The androgen-insensitive prostate cells were stimulated by saposin C to express higher levels of the urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) and its receptor (uPAR), two proteins known to be involved in cell invasion. A conjugate of a peptide of the active region of saposin C (TX14A) and a toxin (saporin) was made and was shown to decrease the survival of prostate cancer cells, and the other cancer cells that were found to express saposin C (including cancers cells of the breast, colon, and lung). This conjugate or a compound of analogous action that inhibits cellular growth acting via a saposin-C binding receptor can be used to decrease tumor growth and/or treat disorders of stromal proliferation (e.g., benign prostatic hyperplasia, atherosclerosis, and vascular restenosis).

Abstract: The photoelectron generating plate includes on a
substrate a photoelectron emission layer for emitting
photoelectrons by the illumination of the light and having a
barrier property. A diffusion of a material of an
underlying base member into the photoelectron emission layer
is blocked by the barrier layer and thus the surface of the
photoelectron emission layer is prevented from being coated
by the material of the base member. As a result, temporal
reduction in the number of generated negative ions can be
considerably ameliorated. In other words, the charge
removing device attains a good durability for a long time.
