Patent EP-0832271-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WHEELER JEFFERY J
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 1996-06-06
Abstract: Novel lipid-nucleic acid particulate complexes which are useful for in vitro or in vivo gene transfer are described. The particles can be formed using either detergent dialysis methods or methods which utilize organic solvents. Upon removal of a solubilizing component (i.e. detergent or an organic solvent) the lipid-nucleic acid complexes form particles wherein the nucleic acid is serum-stable and is protected from degradation. The particles thus formed have access to extravascular sites and target cell populations and are suitable for the therapeutic delivery of nucleic acids.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB96/02179 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 28, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 28, 1998 PCT Filed Sep. 4, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/11173 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 27, 1997The invention provides modified mammalian transforming growth factor (TGF)- beta  type I receptors (T beta R-I) which substantially retain the ability of native T beta R-I to transduce signals for matrix protein production but which have a diminished capacity to transduce growth-inhibitory signals. The receptors of the invention are characterized by the replacement or deletion of one or more residues in the juxtamembrane region between the transmembrane and GS domains, e.g., the residues corresponding to Ser172 or Thr176 of hT beta R-I. The invention also provides recombinant expression systems for production of the modified receptors and assays using them for the identification of antiproliferative agents.

Abstract: Dans un système de projection à trois lampes et à trois modulateurs de lumière, les lampes sont séquentiellement parcourues par le courant dans un cycle d'éclairage triphasé. La lumière émanant des lampes est séparée par un système optique constitué d'un ensemble de neuf miroirs disposés trois par trois, tous sauf un devant être dichroïques, afin de produire un éclairage séquentiel de chaque modulateur de lumière en rouge, vert et bleu. Chaque modulateur de lumière, qui est commandé par un signal de commande différent extrait d'un signal vidéo entrant, est éclairé par une séquence de couleurs différentes de sorte que, au cours de chaque phase lumineuse du cycle d'éclairage, chaque modulateur de lumière soit éclairé par une couleur différente. Lorsqu'on fait converger les faisceaux de sortie des modulateurs de lumière sur la même surface d'un écran, les phases du cycle d'éclairage se produisent à la fréquence de trame du signal vidéo d'entrée, et lorsque les faisceaux de sortie sont agencés de façon à produire une image mosaïquée, les phases du cycle d'éclairage se produisent à trois fois la fréquence de trame du signal vidéo entrant.

Abstract: A novel addressing scheme for an RF-ID system or LAN
network is presented in which an interrogator(reader)
addresses a set of transponders, each transponder in this set
having a common addressing scheme, and the addressed
transponders respond only upon the matching of their own
address with the received addressing scheme. The addressing
scheme comprises a fixed size sub_address and a variable size
mask. For example, assuming that the transponder address is
32 bits, the implementation of the addressing scheme can
choose 4 bits for the size of the sub_address and 0, 4, 8, 12,
16, 20, 24, 28 bits for the size of the mask. By varying the
addressing scheme according to the algorithm in Figure 4, the
reader will in time interrogate all the transponders
individually, thus receiving their unique address and
achieving the requested exhaustive inventory.

Abstract: An image H(x, y) for displaying a target image
G(x, y) is displayed on a liquid-crystal display panel
and illumination light from an illumination light
source is made to pass therethrough to form an image on
a PALSLM. Read light hv is radiated to the PALSLM and
a phase-modulated light image α(x, y) read out of the
PALSLM is subjected to Fourier transform by a lens. A
phase contrast filter gives a predetermined phase shift
to only the zero-order light component of Fourier light
image α f (x, y). The phase-shifted light image is
subjected to inverse Fourier transform by a lens to
project an output image O(x, y) to an output plane. A
light image O'(x, y) branched by a beam sampler is
picked up by a pickup device and an evaluation value
calculating unit evaluates conformity between the image
O(x, y) and the image G(x, y). A control unit performs
feedback control of optical characteristics of the
illumination light source, PALSLM, and phase contrast
filter, based on the evaluation result.
