Abstract: A housing system for aquatic animals has a shelf-like rack holding
tiers (4) of individual tanks or aquariums (6) (aquaria), each removably suspended
from structural members that engage flanges of the tanks. The tanks are
tilted inwardly of the rack and have covers (66) with fittings on the
higher or outer side, that intercept flow between a supply (14) and a
drain to inlet water when the tank is in the rack and to recycle the
water at any tank position that is unoccupied. The inside bottom of each
tank is contoured, for example with a longitudinal trough, so sediment
collects at a low spot on the lower or inner side, where a drain inlet
(215) is placed to provide a drainage outlet that opens at a velocity
increasing restriction at which sediment is entrained. The drain has a
spring biased valve that opens the drain only when the tank is fully
inserted in the rack. Water supply, water drain and air supply conduits
are integrated using an extrusion or multiple passage conduit for air
supply, water supply and water return at the interception point of the
tank water inlet. The housing system is suitable for zebrafish and
laboratory experimentation.

Abstract: This system which has been incorporated into the structure containing the cellular phone circuit, or the
cellular phone battery circuit enables to identify a ringing phone surrounded by some other equal
phone devices and which alarm sounds as a phone call is received. They transmit a personalized
message that can be recorded by the user, i.e. calling his name ("John, you have a phone call") or
using his preferred melody. Two models can be manufactured, one for conventional phones,
containing vibrator battery function, that is to say containing four contact terminals, and the other one
aimed at modern telephones having more contact terminals for the battery, with a microprocessor
controlling the phone functions being able to handle the address and data bus of the personalized
message recorder reproducer unit with the object, that is to say, a spoken message for each phone
function, i.e. it advises the user whether he has messages in his voice mail, battery status, signal
reception level, name of the person calling him detected by his ID. The advantage of this model is that
it may also be used by blind people or people who are not able to see cellular functions displayed on
their screens. Another option would he to use it while driving a car in order not to take the eyes off
the view to listen to the person calling you, being also able this way to operate functions or to listen to
the cellular phone messages. 
Another advantage of this system is that messages remained recorded for a period of 100 years, when
there is no current supply or the battery is completely discharged.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for classifying or predicting
the classes for samples based on gene expression are
described, as are methods and apparatus for ascertaining or
discovering new, previously unknown classes based on gene
expression. By way of example, there is disclosed a method
of identifying a set of informative genes whose expression
correlates with a class distinction between samples,
comprising the steps of:
   a) sorting genes by degree to which their expression in
said samples correlate with a class distinction; and   b) determining whether said correlation is stronger than
expected by chance.  
A gene whose expression correlates with a class distinction
more strongly than expected by chance is an informative
gene, and hence the method enables one to identify a set of
informative genes.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to prevent reduction in
output speed in the case where toner or the like adhered to a
transfer belt is transferred to a side of an image carrying body
and cleaning is performed by a cleaning device on a side of the
image carrying body. A toner image transfer apparatus (6) is
constituted by extending a transfer belt (63) between a first
transfer roller (61), which is brought into pressure contact
with a photoreceptor (2), and a second transfer roller (62)
disposed away from the photoreceptor and on a downstream side
in a sheet conveying direction, and a circumferential length
of the transfer belt (63) is set to be equal to or less than
a spacing between sheets conveyed (sheet spacing D) such that,
in the sheet spacing D, over which a sheet passes a transfer
position and which a subsequent sheet reaches, a cleaning
voltage is supplied to shift toner or the like, adhered to the
transfer belt (63), to the photoreceptor (2) to have the same
removed by a cleaning device (7) on a side of the photoreceptor
(2). An entire circumference of the transfer belt (63) enables
using the sheet spacing D to perform cleaning, thus ensuring
a favorable cleaning quality without reduction in output speed.

Abstract: The invention concerns compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based upon the identification of an ADAM8 gene that is amplified in the genome of tumor cells. Such gene amplification is associated with the overexpression of the gene product as compared to normal cells of the same tissue type and contributes to tumorigenesis. Accordingly, the ADAM8 protein encoded by the amplified gene is a useful target for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain cancers, and acts as a predictor of the prognosis of tumor treatment.
