Patent CA-2291861-C (CA)
Inventor: BARBAS CARLOS F III
IPC: C12Q1/70
Filed: 1998-05-27

Abstract: Zinc finger proteins of the Cys2His2 type represent a class of malleable DNA binding proteins which may be selected to bind diverse sequences. Typically, zinc finger proteins containing three zinc finger domains, like the murine transcription factor Zif268 and the human transcription factort Sp1, bind nine contiguous base pairs (bp). To create a class of proteins which would be generally applicable to target unique sites within complex genomes, the present invention provides a polypeptide linker that fuses two three-finger proteins. Two six-fingered proteins were created and demonstrated to bind 18 contiguous bp of DNA in a sequence specific fashion. Expression of these proteins as fusions to activation or repression domains allows transcription to be specifically up or down modulated within cells. Polydactyl zinc finger proteins are broadly applicable as genome-specific transcriptional switchhes in gene therapy strategies and the development of novel transgenic plants and animals. Such proteins are useful for inhibiting, activating or enhancing gene expression from a zinc finger-nucleotide binding motif containing promoter or other transcriptional control element, as well as a structural gene or RNA sequence.

Abstract: A multimedia collaboration system that integrates separate real-time and asynchronous networks--the former for real-time audio and video, and the latter for control signals and textual, graphical and other data--in a manner that is interoperable across different computer and network operating system platforms and which closely approximates the experience of face-to-face collaboration, while liberating the participants from the limitations of time and distance. These capabilities are achieved by exploiting a variety of hardware, software and networking technologies in a manner that preserves the quality and integrity of audio/video/data and other multimedia information, even after wide area transmission, and at a significantly reduced networking cost as compared to what would be required by presently known approaches. The system architecture is readily scalable to the largest enterprise network environments. It accommodates differing levels of collaborative capabilities available to individual users and permits high-quality audio and video capabilities to be readily superimposed onto existing personal computers and workstations and their interconnecting LANs and WANs. In a particular preferred embodiment, a plurality of geographically dispersed multimedia LANs are interconnected by a WAN. The demands made on the WAN are significantly reduced by employing multi-hopping techniques, including dynamically avoiding the unnecessary decompression of data at intermediate hops, and exploiting video mosaicing, cut-and-paste and audio mixing technologies so that significantly fewer wide area transmission paths are required while maintaining the high quality of the transmitted audio/video.

Title: Cleansing and conditioning article for skin or hair having improved fragrance delivery
Inventor: HASENOEHRL ERIK JOHN
IPC: A47K7/03
Filed: 1998-10-20
Granted: 2006-01-03
Abstract: The present invention relates to a substantially dry, disposable, personal cleansing product useful for both cleansing and conditioning the skin/hair and providing improved fragrance delivery. These articles are used by the consumer by wetting the dry article with water. The article comprises a water insoluble substrate, a lathering surfactant, and a fragrance-releasing complex. Preferably, the articles of the present invention further comprise a conditioning component. Use of the substrate enhances lathering at low surfactant levels, increases cleansing and exfoliation, optimizes delivery and deposition of conditioning ingredients, and provides desirable characteristics such as texture, thickness and bulk. As a result, this invention provides effective cleansing using low, and hence less irritating, levels of surfactant while providing superior conditioning benefits by using a substrate having desirable characteristics. The invention also encompasses products further comprising a coating material for encapsulating the fragrance-releasing complex. The invention also encompasses products comprising various active ingredients for delivery to the skin or hair. The invention also encompasses methods for manufacturing these products.

Abstract: An alternator regulator controls both output voltage and output current, limits input drive power and torque, and maintains output power within a prescribed range while operating over a wide ambient temperature range and shaft speed range. Voltage, shaft speed, and temperature signals are monitored, and the results are processed to determine the output current and to control the output power without exceeding the programmed limits for output voltage, output current, temperature; output power, drive power, torque, and shaft speed. This provides a predictable output power characteristic for the alternator and it eliminates high input drive power and torque excursions that occur at low temperature and certain shaft speeds. If programmed limits are exceeded over a specified interval, and the alternator does not respond to the control changes imposed by the regulator, the regulator will turn off the alternator's field current, activate an alarm circuit, and set fault codes. The regulator is also capable of communicating with other control systems to provide status, specify needs, and respond to requests.

Abstract: A system (fig. 1) and method (fig. 2) for detecting a current imbalance or a voltage imbalance in multiphase electrical energy provided to an energy meter.  A phase single value is measured for each phase, a normalized phase value for each phase is determined, and a normalized phase ratio is then determined. The highest normalized phase value is compared to a first threshold, and the normalized phase value ratio is compared to a second threshold. It is determined that an imbalance exists when the high normalized phase value is greater than the first threshold and the normalized phase value ratio is less than the second threshold.

Abstract: Upon use of a nozzle centrifuge for separating oil, water and sand from a mixture thereof separated water and sand is continuously removed through nozzles (12), which are arranged at the periphery of the rotor of the nozzle  centrifuge. Separated oil is discharged through a central outlet (13-15) in the rotor. Through a space (17) in the rotor, which communicates with the radially outer part (7b) of the rotor separating chamber (7), water may eith er be supplied under pressure to the rotor or be discharged from the rotor for maintaining an interface layer, which is formed in the separating chamber (7 ) between separated oil and separated water, at a predetermined radial level (22). A supply device (23-25) and a discharge device (26, 27) are adapted to  supply to the rotor and discharge from the rotor, respectively, only so much  water that is required for said purpose. The discharge device (26, 27) is separated from the supply device (23-25), so that discharged water need not be subjected to the pressure generated by or maintained in the supply device (2 3- 25).

Abstract: Supporting conductors for loop antennas that are positioned within the principal H plane of the loop antennas and positioned diagonally with respect to the plane of the loops. Such diagonal supporting conductors do not interfere with the electrical operation of the loop antennas, and they can be stronger than the traditional long supporting insulators that are often broken by bad weather. These conductors may also reduce the movement of the loop antennas in the wind and may have less weight and cost than the combination of a supporting conductor placed directly across the loop plus a supporting boom.
