Title: Porcine leptin protein, nucleic acid sequences coding therefor and uses hereof
Inventor: BIDWELL CHRISTOPHER A
IPC: C07K14/575
Filed: 1997-07-17
Abstract: A porcine adipocyte-specific polypeptide, termed leptin, is expressed in the fat tissue of pigs. Expression may be altered in over fat pigs, or expression may be in the form of a protein of lesser biological activity relative to that of leaner pigs. The porcine adipocyte polypeptide, DNA and RNA molecules coding therefor, methods for its preparation, and antibodies specific for the polypeptide are disclosed. Methods for determining the susceptibility of a pig to fat deposition are based on measuring the levels of the porcine adipocyte polypeptide in a biological fluid or tissue extract or by measuring mRNA encoding the porcine adipocyte polypeptide in cells of the subject. Methods of evaluating an agent related to the deposition of fat in swine comprise contacting the agent with an adipocyte in vitro and measuring the amount of the porcine adipocyte polypeptide or mRNA that is produced by the adipocyte. Methods of limiting fat deposition include administering porcine leptin or porcine leptin DNA, and methods of regulating intake include administering porcine leptin, porcine leptin DNA, or an antibody directed against porcine leptin.

A molten system is then provided by adding, to the stirrable melt, a reactant mixture which includes (A)(i) the same or a different hydantoin reactant, (ii) a substantially anhydrous formaldehyde source reactant which may be the same as or different than the formaldehyde source reactant, or (iii) a combination thereof; and (B) optionally, the same or a different catalyst; wherein the molten system includes (i) at least one hydantoin reactant and (ii) at least one dehydrated formaldehyde source reactant or substantially anhydrous formaldehyde source reactant. The at least one hydantoin reactant and the at least one dehydrated formaldehyde source reactant or substantially anhydrous formaldehyde source reactant in the molten system are reacted, while reaction water is removed, to yield anhydrous molten methylolhydantoin. Finally, the molten methylolhydantoin is solidified. Alternatively, solid anhydrous methylolhydantoin is produced by reacting, in an aqueous stirrable medium as above, a reactant mixture of (i) the same or a different hydantoin reactant, (ii) a substantially anhydrous formaldehyde source reactant which may be the same as or different than the formaldehyde source reactant, or (ii) a combination thereof and (iv) optionally, the same as or different catalyst; wherein (i) at least one hydantoin reactant and (ii) at least one formaldehyde source reactant or substantially anhydrous formaldehyde reactant is present; while heating to at least the melting temperature of the methylolhydantoin and while removing substantially all water; to yield a molten methylolhydantoin; and subsequently solidifying the molten methylolhydantoin. These methods can be practiced as batch processes or as semi-continuous processes.

Title: Method and package design for cryopreservation and storage of cultured tissue equivalents
Inventor: WATSON STEPHEN R
IPC: B65D77/04
Filed: 1996-01-30
Abstract: This invention is directed to an efficient cryopreservation package design of harvested mammalian tissues and living cultured tissue equivalents made by in vitro technology. The invention involves immersing a mammalian tissue or cultured tissue equivalent in a cryoprotectant solution, agitating the cryoprotectant solution and the immersed tissue to achieve effective penetration of the cryoprotectant solution into the tissue, and then freezing the tissue at a very slow freezing rate. In the freezing step, extracellular ice formation is initiated by seeding. The cryopreserved tissue may be stored for indefinite periods of time prior to use. The cultured tissue equivalent is an in vitro model of the equivalent human tissue, such as skin or cornea, which, when retrieved from storage can be used for transplantation or implantation in vivo or for screening compounds in vitro. <IMAGE>

Title: Call forwarding in a telecommunications network
Inventor: PALVIAINEN KEIJO
IPC: H04M7/00
Filed: 1999-09-10
Abstract: In telecommunications networks the problem with call forwarding restriction according to prior art is that access through call forwarding to numbers with ensuring an answer rather than possible further forwarding is not possible. The invention is based on the idea that call forwarding is allowed despite call forwarding restriction when the number to be used in forwarding the call meets special conditions set beforehand. The number is thus compared with the preset conditions and depending on the result of this comparison the call is either forwarded or not.

IPC: G07D5/08
Filed: 1981-06-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a coin validator for use in a micro-processor controlled call coin box telephone instrument. The validator comprises first and second coil sets driven by square wave interrogation pulses. The arrangement of the coils is such that when a coin is in the coin-runway of the call coin box, one coil pair is used to interrogate the coin in the runway while the other coil pair provides environmental conditions apertaining to the runway. The information generated by both coil sets is combined thereby compensating for environmental changes and drift. Information pertaining to the relative response times of the secondary coils is then used to determine coin validity.
