Abstract: A method for consolidating foundation soils, comprising the operative steps of
drilling a plurality of holes (1) in the soil, injecting into the soil through each
hole (1) at least an at least an expanding substance (6) in one or more
injection points (5) to compact the soil in proximity to said injection points (5)
and monitoring the level of the soil to determine its rise. Moreover,
for injection in each injection point (5), a minimum quantity of expanding
substance (6) to be injected is determined, both as a function of the
conditions of the soil in proximity to the injection point (5), and of the
characteristics of the expanding substance (6), the quantity of expanding
substance (6) injected into the soil is measured and compared to the
determined minimum quantity. The injection of the expanding substance (6) is
stopped when the injected quantity is at least equal to the minimum quantity,
and the soil has risen by a predetermined minimum value, the consolidation
being deemed to be effected in that moment. Advantageously, the expanding
substance can expand less than five times.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for transmitting a digital signal. The
method comprises quantizing a source digital signal to generate with different
quantizations at least a first and a second bit-stream, of which at least one bit-stream is
generated by an embedded quantization, transmitting at least one of the at least first and
second bit-streams and generating a dequantized digital signal from at least parts of one
of the transmitted at least first and second bit streams, whereby if in the generation of the
dequantized digital signal the parts of the at least first and second bit-streams are
combined, the combined dequantized signal is generated by an embedded dequantizer
having at least two quantization levels and having at least one quantization interval at
each quantization level which is finer than quantization intervals for dequantizing any of
the at least first and second bit-streams.

Abstract: Myc protein is an unevenly distributed intermediate
agent for cell proliferation, and activates a gene
expression via E.box. Mina 53 gene encodes a protein of
53 kDa molecular weight and is present in the
nucleoplasm and nucleolus. Mina 53 mRNA and protein
expression are induced by artificial introduction of c-Myc
activity. E.box site is present in the vicinity of
the transcription initiation site of mina 53 gene, and
the expression from mina 53 promoter is activated by the
c-Myc through the medium of E.box. Specific inhibition
of the mina 53 expression in HeLa cells and rat
fibroblast cells 3Y1 having high expression c.myc
strikingly inhibited the cell proliferation. Combination
of these results shows that the mina 53 is a Myc target
gene and is associated with the cell proliferation of
mammal.

Abstract: There is provided a prosthetic limb having a flexible knee brake
function, which is designed such that it can be mechanically detected which
part of the foot the load of the wearer is imposed on. In a thigh prosthetic
limb (10), a joint upper member (12) including a knee plate (120) and a
joint lower member (14) including a base bracket (22) integral with the
frame (140) are operated to bend the knee. In the housing member (24),
there are provided not only a knee axis but also a hydraulic brake circuit.
There is a link mechanism (50) which allows a small relative motion
between the housing member (24) and the base bracket (22) on the main
body part side. The link mechanism (50) has an instantaneous center
between the toe and the heel part of the prosthetic limb. This
instantaneous center serves as a sensing point and detects which part of the
foot the load of the wearer is imposed on by distinguishing a first case in
which the wearer's load is imposed on the heel and a second case in which
the wearer's load is imposed on the toe. Based on the detection result
made by the link mechanism (50), the hydraulic brake circuit is controlled
so that a flexible knee braking operation can be made.
