Abstract: Les informations de commande relatives au modem pour chaque adresse sont mises en mémoire. Au moment de la communication, le modem utilisé est actionné en fonction de ces informations de commande mises en mémoire et une procédure de précommunication est simplifiée pour la transmission des données. Si la procédure de précommunication simplifiée ne progresse pas normalement, on change cette procédure pour adopter une seconde procédure de communication avec une vitesse plus lente après un laps de temps prédéterminé pour poursuivre la communication. Si une anomalie se produit après la procédure de précommunication simplifiée, les informations de commande mise, en mémoire sont effacées/actualisées. Ainsi, la durée de la procédure de précommunication est raccourcie et, en outre, la fonction adoptée en procédure raccourcie fonctionne toujours correctement, même si le taux d'erreur de la communication est élevé ou que les caractéristiques de ligne sont changées.

Title: Methods and compositions for destruction of selected proteins
Inventor: ROSEN NEAL
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1998-05-14
Granted: 2010-02-16
Abstract: Compounds having an ansamycin antibiotic, or other moiety which binds to hsp90, coupled to a targeting moiety which binds specifically to a protein, receptor or marker can provide effective targeted delivery of the ansamycin antibiotic leading to the degradation of proteins and death of the targeted cells. These compositions may have different specificity than the ansamycin alone, allowing for a more specific targeting of the therapy, and can be effective in instances where the ansamycin alone has no effect. Thus, these compounds provide an entirely new class of targeted chemotherapy agents with application, depending on the nature of the targeting moiety, to treatment of a variety of different forms of cancer. Such agents can further be used to promote selective degradation of proteins associated with the pathogenesis of other diseases, including antigens associated with autoimmune disorders and pathogenic proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease. Exemplary targeting moieties which may be employed in compounds of the invention include testosterone, estradiol, tamoxifen and wortmannin.

Title: Liquid ejection apparatus and liquid ejection method
Inventor: YAMAJI HIROSHI
IPC: B01F15/00
Filed: 2000-02-15
Granted: 2004-09-14
Abstract: With a liquid ejection apparatus where a liquid-transporting body is attached to an agitator shaft, the liquid-transporting body is revolved about the agitator shaft, with the rotational speed being changed in accordance with a change in liquid depth. Hence ejection liquid ejected from an upper opening of the liquid-transporting body over a large ejection distance and in sufficient volume, is distributed onto the inner surface of the tank and/or into the space above the liquid surface, thereby washing the inner surface of the tank, maintaining the heat transfer area, dispersing a foam layer on the liquid surface, and promoting evaporation of liquid in the tank.
Patent CA-2305285-C (CA)
Title: Non-zero minimum cell rate for available bit rate atm service
Inventor: ABE KOHEI
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-11-17
Granted: 2004-07-06
Abstract: A schedular in accord with the invention schedules available bit rate (ABR) traffic over an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) link in such a manner as to provide circuits having the ABR traffic service a minimu m cell rate (MCR) that may be greater than zero. The scheduler uses static scheduling information to schedule traffic for high priority services, such as constant bit rate service. The static information also specifies transmit opportunities for an ABR circuit, in a manner analogous to that for CBR traffic. The statically scheduled transmit opportunities provide a negotiated minimum cell rate that is greater than zero, for the ABR circuit. The scheduler maintains dynamic scheduling information, which it uses to schedule traffic in otherwise available transmit times. For example, the scheduler may use the dynamic information to create a work list of virtual circuit connections for ABR service. During any cell transmit time that is not used by a higher priority service (e.g. CBR or MCR), the scheduler goes to the work list to find a circuit with a cell ready for transmission and initiates transmission of the cell for that circuit. The ABR circuit having a non-zero MCR receives service from the statically scheduled opportunities and from the dynamically scheduled opportunities.

Abstract: An automated survey kiosk which is easy to install at a location, does not require access to standard tele-phone lines, can be easily reprogrammed, has unlimited language capabilities, which permits open-ended answers to inquiries or questions and whose survey responses can be sent directly to a client. The automated survey kiosk for administering a survey includes a touch screen for dis-playing the survey and for receiving survey responses, the touch screen being operatively connected to a general pur-pose computer for storing the survey, the general computer including a memory for storing the survey responses, opera-tively connected to the touch screen; and a wireless modem for transmitting the survey responses at a remote location at predetermined intervals. The automated survey kiosk is programmed to prompt a user for a desired. language and then administer the survey in the chosen language. The au-tomated survey kiosk may be remotely reprogrammed with new questions, by altering existing questions or by deleting existing questions, from the location of the research firm, even while a respondent is answering the survey. The sur-vey responses may be transmitted to the research firm, or may be directly sent to the client, who must be equipped with the proper equipment to communicate with the au-tomated survey kiosk. Accordingly, the client can have almost instantaneous access to the latest survey data, and can modify the survey during the survey period. The kiosk is also provided with a microphone in order to permit a respondent to record a verbal answer should the multiple choices offered not adequately describe the respondent's answer.

Inventor: TAKADA YUKIHIRO
IPC: A23K50/15
Filed: 2001-06-07
Granted: 2010-03-30
Abstract: A milk basic protein fraction is heated if necessary, the resulting precipitate is removed to recover the resulting supernatant, alcohol is added to this supernatant, a fraction containing a high concentration of milk basic cystatin is recovered by removing the resulting precipitate and brought into contact with a carrier containing a sulfuric acid group, such as heparin, to recover a fraction which is not adsorbed onto the carrier, and this fraction is then treated with an ultrafiltration membrane having an cut- off molecular weight of 10-50 kDa to recover the permeate to produce a fraction containing a high concentration of milk basic cystatin. Alternatively, a milk-derived basic protein composition is brought into contact with an anion exchange resin to recover a fraction which is not adsorbed onto the resin, after which this fraction is brought into contact with a cation exchange resin to recover the target fraction by eluting a fraction which is adsorbed onto the resin with an eluent to produce a fraction containing a high concentration of milk basic cystatin. Further, a decomposition product of the fraction containing a high concentration of milk basic cystatin is produced by decomposing this fraction containing a high concentration of milk basic cystatin with protease.
