Patent CA-2608236-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANTONIA SCOTT
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2006-05-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to immunotherapy methods for treating hyperproliferative disease in humans, particularly to hyperproliferative disease that is refractory to therapy. More specifically, the invention is directed, in one embodiment, to methods for treating a subject with a hyperproliferative disease in which the expression of a self gene is upregulated in therapy-resistant hyperproliferative cells. In another embodiment, an adenoviral expression construct comprising a self gene under the control of a promoter operable in eukaryotic cells is administered to the therapy-resistant hyperproliferative cells. The present invention thus provides immunotherapies for treating therapy-resistant hyperproliferative disease by attenuating the natural immune system's CTL response against hyperproliferative cells or overexpressing mutant p53 antigens, for example.

Title: Method of measuring critical electric current value of superconducting wire
Inventor: KATO TAKESHI
IPC: G01R19/00
Filed: 2006-09-22
Abstract: A method of measuring a critical electric current value of a superconducting wire (1) is provided with steps of measuring first to m-th (where m is an integer number of 2 or more) electric current values (I1, I2,..., Im) and first to m-th voltage values (V1, V2,..., Vm). The first electric current value I1 and the first voltage value V1 are measured by measuring an electric current flowing through a superconducting wire (1) and a voltage generated at the superconducting wire (1) after an electric current is maintained for a predetermined period of time in a state in which the electric current flowing from a constant electric current source (6) through the superconducting wire (1) is set to a first setting value I1a. A k-th electric current value Ik and a k-th voltage value Vk, (where k is an integer number to satisfy 2<=k<=m), are measured by measuring an electric current flowing through the superconducting wire (1) and a voltage generated at the superconducting wire (1) after an electric current is maintained for a predetermined period of time in a state in which the electric current flowing from the constant electric current source through the superconducting wire is set to a k-th setting value Ika that is higher than a (k-1)-th setting current. To this end, a precise critical electric current value can be measured.

IPC: G01B11/25
Filed: 2006-11-08
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for optically measuring a surface which has especially a spherical shape featuring a great amount of radiation reflection and is illuminated by at least one radiation source and by means of at least one structured light source in order to create an illumination structure on the surface that is to be measured. The illumination structure is recorded using a camera. A coating is applied to the surface before the surface is measured so as to reduce radiation reflection, said coating of the spherical surface being applied using the principle of electrostatic coating. Hence, a method for optically measuring a surface is created in which the coating is applied evenly to the entire surface of the test object while the coating has a thickness of less than 0.01 mm.
