Abstract: A bubble detector/direction sensor for detecting the presence
of liquid and gas in a stream of liquid and gas segments flowing
through an elongated transparent tube and for sensing the direction of
flow of the stream. The sensor has first and second light sources,
first and second input fiber optic bundles, and first and second
collection fiber optic bundles. The first and second input fiber optic
bundles couple the first and second light sources to first and second
sides of the tube, respectively, so that light passes through the tube.
When the tube is filled with liquid, the light passing therethrough
from each light source passes through first and second predetermined
regions. When the tube is filled with gas, the light passing
therethrough passes outside of the predetermined regions. The first
and second collection fiber optic bundles are coupled to the second
and first sides of the tube, respectively, outside of the predetermined
regions. A circuit is provided for producing signals indicating the
presence of liquid in the tube, the presence of gas in the tube, and the
direction of flow of liquid and gas through the tube based upon the
light received by the first and second collection fiber optic bundles. 
In alternative embodiments, the sensor includes an additional
collection fiber optic bundle coupled to the second side of the tube
that is positioned within the first predetermined region. In these
embodiments, the circuit produces a signal indicating the presence of
a liquid in the tube containing a marker dye having known absorbance
characteristics based upon the light received by each of the collection
fiber optic bundles and the known absorbance characteristics.

Abstract: Novel fire detection method and apparatus for
positively detecting a fire in the stage of initial
smoldering fire or smokeless burning with a high
sensitivity. A sensor apparatus (9) disposed in an
area i makes gas detection and gas recognition using
an existing pattern recognition method such as
principal component analysis (S1 to S4). If no gas
is detected, flag f i  = 0 is set. If a gas is
detected and recognized as a water vapor, f i  = 1 is
set. If it is not recognized as a water vapor, f i  =
0 is set (S4 to S7). Monitoring N areas as above
(S8 to S9), J = f 1  + f 2  +...+ f N  is calculated (S10),
if 0 < J < N (S11), an area of f i  = 1 is recognized
as highly possible to be a fire (S12). When J = 0
or J = N, it is recognized as a non-fire since it is
highly possible as due to detection of a gas other
than a water vapor such as alcohol or an ordinary
humidity change (S13).

Abstract: L'invention concerne une protéine suppressive de tumeur de polypose rétro-colique familiale (APC), qui se lie à β-caténine, une protéine dont on récemment démontré l'interaction avec des facteurs de transcription de Tcf/Lef. Dans ce cas-ci, le gène codant un membre de la famille de Tcf qui est exprimé dans l'épithélium du côlon (hTcf-4) a été cloné et caractérisé; hTcf-4 ne transactive une transcription que lorsqu'il est associé avec β-caténine. On a découvert que les noyaux de cellules cancéreuses du côlon d'APC-/- contenaient un complexe β-caténine-hTcf-4 stable, et qui est actif de manière constitutive, comme on l'a mesuré par transcription d'un gène marqueur de Tcf. La réintroduction d'APC a permis d'enlever β-caténine de hTcf-4 et d'annuler la transactivation transcriptionnelle. Une transcription constitutive de gènes cibles de Tcf, provoquée par une perte de fonction d'APC, peut constituer un fait crucial dans la transformation précoce de l'épithélium du côlon. L'invention démontre également que les produits de gènes d'APC mutants trouvés dans des tumeurs colorectales présentent des déficiences pour la régulation d'une activation transcriptionnelle β-caténine/Tcf-4. En outre, on a démontré que des tumeurs colorectales comprenant des gènes d'APC intacts, contiennent des mutations d'activation subtiles de β-caténine qui altèrent de manière fonctionnelle des sites de phosphorylation importants. Ces résultats indiquent que la régulation de β-caténine est cruciale pour l'effet inhibiteur de tumeur d'APC et que cette régulation peut être contournée par des mutations d'APC ou de β-caténine.

Title: Apparatus and method for code tracking in an IS-95 spread spectrum communication system
Inventor: KANGAR FARBOD
IPC: H04B1/7085
Filed: 1998-12-21
Abstract: An apparatus and method for code tracking in an IS-95 spread spectrum communications system are disclosed. A pseudo-noise generator (516) generates an on-time component, an early component and a late component of a pseudo-noise code signal in response to an error signal. The on-time component is routed to a deinterleave and demodulate device (210) which demodulates and decodes baseband signals from received spread spectrum signals. An adder (518) substracts the early component from the late component to form a summation signal. A multiplier (520) multiplies the summation with the received signal to form a product signal. An integrator (522) integrates the product signal to form the error signal. The error signal is fed back into the pseudo-noise generator (516) to fine tune the on-time component, the early component and the late component of the pseudo-noise code signal. As a result, a spread spectrum signal is demodulated and decoded using only one correlator (504) instead of two.

Abstract: Methods of removing a lower alkyl alcohol from a polyester mixture of polyol fatty acid polyester and lower alkyl alcohol comprise (a) contacting the polyester mixture with a stripping mixture comprising an inert stripping gas, up to about 10,000 ppm lower alkyl alcohol and up to about 2000 ppm oxygen, wherein at least a portion of the lower alkyl alcohol is transferred from the polyester mixture to the stripping mixture, thereby increasing the concentration of lower alkyl alcohol in the stripping mixture, and (b) separating the stripping mixture from the polyester mixture. The methods further comprise (c) compressing the stripping mixture to increase its pressure, (d) cooling the stripping mixture to reduce its temperature thereby condensing at least a first portion of the lower alkyl alcohol to a liquid, (e) separating condensed lower alkyl alcohol from the stripping mixture to reduce the amount of lower alkyl alcohol in the stripping mixture to a range of from about 1 ppm to about 10,000 ppm, and (f) directing the resulting stripping mixture to an expansion turbine in which the temperature and pressure of the stripping mixture are reduced. Energy resulting from the decrease in the stripping mixture temperature and pressure in the expansion turbine is used to compress the stripping mixture separated from the polyester mixture.

Abstract: In recording on an optical disk, tracking control is
performed using tracking error signals detected during an
OFF period and a rear time segment within an ON period of
a recording pulse signal. The time segment for detecting
the tracking error signal within the recording pulse ON
period is variably controlled in accordance with recording
conditions such as a disk type and recording speed.
This control can effectively prevent a tendency of pits
being formed off the center line of a track toward the
inner circumference of the optical disk due to the influence
of residual heat from an adjoining inner track,
thereby allowing pits to be formed accurately on and
along the track center line. Further, during recording,
a detection is made of a wobble-corresponding component
contained in an HF signal corresponding to reflections of
a recording light beam from the optical disk, and servo-balance
adjusting variable resistors are adjusted on the
basis of the detected wobble-corresponding component in
such a way that the detected component presents its minimum
level.
