Patent NO-922457-D0 (NO)
Inventor: RAMANATHAN LATA
IPC: C07K7/00
Filed: 1992-06-19
Abstract: Two kinds of antibody antagonists of the binding of human IL-4 to cellular receptors are provided by this invention. Some of the antagonists bind to specific regions of IL-4 which are believed to be involved in interactions between IL-4 and its receptors. Because of this specific binding by the antibodies to the IL-4, the binding of the IL-4 to the receptors is substantially inhibited. The other antibody antagonists of the invention are anti-idiotypic antibodies which, while lacking IL-4 activity, appear to mimic IL-4 and to compete directly with it for binding to the cellular receptors. Polypeptides used to make the antibody antagonists are also provided, together with methods for using the antagonists to inhibit the binding of IL-4 to its cellular receptors.

Abstract: According to method and apparatus for communication in a cellular TDMA mobile radio communication system with channel hopping, base and mobile stations transmit radio signal bursts in time slots of a plurality of radio channels in accordance with channel hopping schemes. All of the schemes used by a base and mobile stations in a cell are free from coincidence on any radio channel with any other of the schemes used for transmission within the same cell. A scheme used by a mobile station in one cell occasionally coincides on a radio channel with a scheme used by a mobile station in another cell. The major part of every channel shifting scheme used by a mobile station in a cell is free from coincidence on any radio channel with the major part of any channel hopping scheme used by a mobile station in another cell. The signal to interference ratio or other signal characteristics such as signal strength or bit error rate for signals received by mobile stations are estimated and compared, and the output power of stations are controlled. The existence of further possible channel hopping schemes in a cell, free from coincidence on every radio channel with every other of the channel hopping schemes already in use in that cell, is checked. When another connection to a particular mobile is desired and there is a possible mobile scheme free from coincidence, the desired connection is established using the possible channel hopping scheme in the cell, only if the estimated C/I for certain mobile stations involved in connections exceeds a minimum level.

Patent GB-0412615-D0 (GB)
Title: Variator
IPC: F16H15/38
Filed: 2004-06-07
Abstract: A continuously variable ratio device (“variator”) is disclosed in which a pair of rotary races (252, 254) is mounted for rotation about a common variator axis (218). Drive is transferred from one race to the other through at least one roller (200) running upon them. The drive ratio is variable by virtue of precession of the roller about a precession axis (228). Precession results in a change in angle between the roller axis and the variator axis and a corresponding change in drive ratio. In accordance with the invention, the roller (200) is coupled to a carrier (214) in a manner which permits it to precess relative to the carrier (214). The carrier itself is rotatable about a carrier axis (226) which is non-parallel to the precession axis. Rotation of the carrier (214) about the carrier axis serves to change the orientation of the precession axis (228) and is accompanied by a change in variator drive ratio.

Patent GB-8320608-D0 (GB)
Title: Hydraulic control system
IPC: F15B11/08
Filed: 1983-07-30
Abstract: in a continuously-variable-ratio transmission of the toroidal ace rolling traction type, each roller is mounted between the opposing disc surfaces in a roller mounting which is displaceable by an hydraulic ram. Each end of the ram has a piston (13 or 14) at the end of the roller mounting sliding in a cylinder (15 or 16).The hydraulic control system has a combined flow divider and pressure control valve (23) which responds to external forces (C1 or C2) from solenoids to shift the roller mounting.Fluid flow in both hydraulic circuits (P, JJ', L' L, R, T and S, MM', K'K, Q, T) is always equalized by the valve (23). Thus displacement of the spools (S1, S2) away from equilibrium, by restricting inlet and outlet ports (R and S or P and Q), raises the pressure in one ram chamber (16 or 15) and displaces the ram. Moreover, the same pressure tends to return the spools to the equilibrium position. Hydraulic stopping of the ram occurs when either ram chamber port (L' or K') is restricted by a piston approaching its extreme position.

Date Feb. 8, 1990.A speech synthesizer (3) produces prompts in the voice of a native speaker of a language to be learned to which the student replies or imitates. A phrase recognizer (1) employs keyword recognition to generate from the student's prompted response an original speech template spoken by the student. Thereafter, interactive dialogue takes place. The student's progress in that dialogue is monitored by measuring the deviation of the student's current speech from his original speech template. When this deviation is sufficiently large so that the recognizer (1) no longer recognizes what the student is saying, the system retrains and updates the student's speech template. In another embodiment, the system includes a display which shows the native speaker's mouth shape while the words to be imitated are spoken by the speech synthesizer (3). Also provided are a video pick-up and analyzer for analyzing the shapes of the student's mouth to give the student visual feedback.
