Patent EP-1224264-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BANCHEREAU JACQUES F
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2000-10-16
Abstract: L'invention porte sur de nouvelles cellules présentant des antigènes et comprenant notamment, mais pas exclusivement, des cellules dendritiques qui sont chargées avec des antigènes à partir de cellules mortes ou moribondes comprenant des lignées cellulaires allogéniques ; des procédés de fabrication de ces cellules présentant des antigènes sont également décrits. Les cellules chargées, présentant des antigènes, sont utiles pour induire chez l'homme, à la fois, des réponses immunes prophylactiques et des réponses immunes thérapeutiques. Ces cellules présentant des antigènes sont notamment utiles dans le traitement du cancer et de maladies infectieuses. En variante, les cellules chargées, présentant des antigènes, peuvent être utilisées pour éliminer des réponses immunes non désirées telles que des réponses auto-immunes et une réaction du greffon contre l'hôte ou de l'hôte contre le greffon, à savoir un rejet de greffe dans la transplantation d'un organe et de la moelle osseuse. Les cellules utiles, présentant des antigènes, comprennent notamment, mais pas exclusivement, des cellules dendritiques à différentes étapes de la différenciation (précurseurs, cellules dendritiques immatures et cellules dendritiques matures), des cellules dendritiques dérivées de précurseurs sanguins, notamment, mais pas exclusivement, des monocytes, des cellules dendritiques dérivées des cellules progénitrices hématopoïétiques CD34, des sous-ensembles de cellules dendritiques telles que des cellules de Langerhans, des cellules dendritiques interstitielles et des cellules dendritiques lymphoïdes. Les cellules présentant des antigènes et les précurseurs des cellules cytotoxiques proviennent de donneurs volontaires en bonne santé ou de patients porteurs de tumeurs. Les cellules dendritiques chargées d'antigènes et préparées selon cette invention peuvent également sensibiliser des lymphocytes T naïfs pour les différencier dans des cellules effectrices capables de reconnaître des antigènes tumoraux multiples et/ou partagés qui sont exprimés sur les cellules tumorales utilisées pour charger les cellules dendritiques, et/ou sur d'autres cellules tumorales. Les lymphocytes T cytotoxiques générés par exposition à des cellules dendritiques chargées d'antigènes, et préparés selon cette invention, peuvent être utilisés en thérapie adoptive. Cette induction des réponses contre des antigènes multiples, partagés entre différentes cellules, par exemple, des cellules tumorales, est importante dans la mesure où elle conduit à l'élargissement des réponses immunes. Dans cette invention, les lymphocytes T exposés aux cellules dendritiques chargées avec des cellules tueuses peuvent induire une tolérance en regard du ou des antigènes exprimés sur les cellules tueuses. Ceci peut être réalisé par une manipulation des cellules dendritiques qui permet la présentation de l'antigène, mais empêche l'expression des molécules costimulatrices.

Abstract: When a plurality of heaters in the printing head
are driven and the pulse width is controlled according
to a change in the voltage drop corresponding to the
number of driven heaters, the control range of the
pulse width is properly determined to ensure a stable
ink ejection. More specifically, the driving bit
number for each block representing the number of
heaters to be driven is counted (S103); and based on
this count value, a table is referenced to determine
the pulse width of a single pulse (S104). Then, in an
inappropriate range of pulse width where the ink
ejection amount varies largely, the single pulse is
changed into a double pulse by referencing the table
with the pulse width to obtain a double pulse driving
waveform (S105).

Abstract: Near-end echo-reduction is achieved by passing a transmit signal through a first filter
bank and feeding a remote signal plus an echo of the transmit signal through a second
filter bank, then subtracting a gain-coefficient-compensated (scaled) version of the
filtered transmit signal from the filtered-composite-remote signal to obtain an echo-reduced
receive signal. The echo-reduced receive signal is suitably employed by tone
decoders, voice response mechanisms, and the like, in a telephone system, and avoids
false alarms due to near-end echo. In one embodiment, the gain coefficients are fixed for
each frequency of interest. In another embodiment, the gain coefficients are dynamically
arrived at based on the filtered transmit signal and the echo-reduced receive signal. The
two filter banks can be combined in one, multiplexed filter bank.

Abstract: A remote user establishes an interactive session. A pre-determined backup set is encrypted
at a remote user site according to a key based upon the user's password. Encrypted backup data is
then transmitted to a backup archive server and decrypted utilizing the user's password generated
key and re-encrypted according to a user specified backup set key and stored upon an auxiliary
storage unit. The present invention further embodies a retrieval process wherein a remote user
designates one or more files to be retrieved and the backup set encryption key used during the initial
backup operation. Software executing within the backup archive server CPU retrieves and decrypts
the specified files according to the originally specified backup set key and re-encrypts the files
according to the remote user's password. Retrieved information is then transmitted to the remote
user whereupon it is subsequently decrypted at the remote user site.

Abstract: There are provided a positioning-controlling apparatus
with improved accuracy and durability and a positioning-controlling
method, which are free from abnormal noises and
pulsating velocity caused by changes in torque which occur
while a subject is being moved after the completion of the
subject's origin returning operation. 
     The rotary encoder (2) should detect the Z phase in
advance before the subject (4) is returned to the origin
which is the position of the Z phase detected by the linear
encoder (5). The driving mode of the servo motor (1) is
switched from rectangular waveform pulse driving to sine
waveform pulse driving upon the detection of the Z phase by
the rotary encoder (2). Thus, after the subject (4) has
returned to the origin, the subject (4) is moved by always
driving the servo motor (1) according to sine waveform
pulses. Otherwise, such arrangement is also possible in
which the subject's moving direction for returning to the
origin is previously specified, and in which the detection
of the ON state of the origin sensor (11), the detection of
the Z phase by the rotary encoder (2), and the detection of
the Z phase by the linear encoder (5) are done in this
order, while the subject (4) is being moved in the above
specified direction. Alternatively, the rotary encoder (2)
may detect the CS phase instead of the Z phase.

Abstract: A method of heating a surface provides for a central fuel rich jet (40) having a peripheral shroud (41) of substantially stoichiometric combustion products and one or more fuel lean jets (30) each having a peripheral shroud (31) of substantially stoichiometric combustion products. The fuel lean jets (30) are placed around the periphery of the central fuel rich jet (40). The fuel lean jet or jets each having shrouds of substantially stoichiometric combustion products and a careful choice of relative velocities for each results in minimizing the mixing of the fuel rich and fuel lean jets until they are at or near the surface of the material to be melted. The placement of the fuel lean jet and fuel rich jets may be reversed in applications where an oxidizing atmosphere is required at the surface to be heated.

Abstract: A process for producing a high moisture cream cheese having desirable textural characteristics (i.e., increased firmness) is provided. More specifically, the process of the invention provides a high moisture cream cheese with significantly increased firmness by controlling the moisture levels during the manufacturing process at levels below the final target moisture level of the final cream cheese product; the moisture level of the final composition is then adjusted to the final target moisture level by the addition of water. It has surprisingly been found that control of the moisture levels during the manufacturing process in this manner results in significantly increased levels of firmness in the final cream cheese product. Indeed, the firmness of the high moisture cream cheese product produced using this method is about 5 to about 20 fold greater than standard cream cheese prepared without such moisture control.
