Title: Gene transfer into primate embryonic stem cells using vsv-g pseudotyped simian immunodeficiency virus vector
Inventor: UEDA YASUJI
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2002-05-29
Abstract: A gene is successfully transferred at a high efficiency into primate embryon ic stem cells by using a simian immunodeficiency virus vector (SIV) having been made into the pseudo type with the use of VSV-G protein which is a surface glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Thus, the simian immunodeficiency virus vector for gene transfer into primate embryonic stem cells is provided. Gene transfer into primate embryonic stem cells using the above-described vector is useful in embryological studies, studies on diseases, clinical application, experimental models, etc. in the primates. Moreover, it is useful in assaying and screening genes and reagents for tiss ue- or cell-specific differentiation which are useful in acquiring desired differentiated cells or differentiated tissues from embryonic stem cells.</S DOAB>
Patent CA-2450328-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NAGEL CHRISTOPH
IPC: C09J7/38
Filed: 2003-11-20
Abstract: The invention teaches building of a larger compression between the two webs at the beginning of contact of the new, prepared web with the old web, in order to allow better toleration of the small, unavoidable synchronization deficits when carrying out a flying splice. A concentration of compression at the beginning of the bonding sites in this way is achieved by placing two adhesive layers one above the other in at least a small region of overlap.      In an advantageous development of the invention, both adhesive layers are composed of different adhesives, with the first adhesive Payer, which is intended for attachment to the start (A) of the new roll, being developed for a particularly high shear resistance, even if this is in competition with the achievable tack, while the second adhesive layer, which is intended for attachment to the end of the old, expiring material web, being developed for a higher tack. An adhesive tape of the invention can be produced with particular ease if the first adhesive layer is applied over the full width of the adhesive tape while the second occupies only one region - the front region as viewed in the running direction of the material web to be joined; in that case the region of overlap of the two layers is large and is identical with the region of extent of the second layer.

Title: Method and apparatus for sketch-based detection of changes in network traffic
Inventor: SEN SUBHABRATA
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2004-07-16
Abstract: A sketch-based change detection technique is introduced for anomaly detection and other applications that can benefit from having a quick and efficient change detection mechanism. The technique is capable of detecting significant changes in massive data streams with a large number of network time series. As part of the technique, we designed a variant of the sketch data structure, called k-ary sketch, uses a constant, small amount of memory, and has constant per-record update and reconstruction cost. A variety of time series forecast models are implemented on top of such summaries and detect significant changes by looking for flows with large forecast errors. Heuristics for automatically configuring the forecast model parameters are presented. Real Internet traffic data is used to demonstrate that the sketch-based change detection method is highly accurate when compared with per-flow analysis, and can be implemented at low computation and memory costs. The results validate using the technique as a building block for network anomaly detection and traffic measurement in large computer networks.
