Abstract: Chimeric antigens derived from hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are described which form virus-like particles when co-expressed with an excess of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg). The chimeric antigens are fusion proteins containing an immunogenic peptide derived from an HCV protein coupled to the amino terminus of HBsAg. Also described are nucleic acid constructs and vectors for transfection of cells and expression of the chimeric antigens. The invention further provides methods for producing HBV/HCV virus-like particles containing the chimeric antigens, cell lines for producing the virus-like particles, combination vaccines containing the virus-like particles, and DNA vaccines that express the virus-like particles.

Abstract: A video source device provides a basis value to a symmetric ciphering/deciphering process to a video sink device, to which the video source device is to provide a video content. The video source device ciphers the video content for transmission to the video sink device, including generation of a first cipher key through functional transformation of the basis value. The video source device further verifies periodically that the transmitted video content is indeed being symmetrically deciphered by the video sink device. The video sink device practices symmetric deciphering, including generation of a first decipher key through functional transformation of the basis value. The video sink device also provides verification values to the video source device to facilitate confirmation of symmetric deciphering. In one embodiment, the video source and sink devices further authenticate each other, including generation of an authentication key, which is used in the generation of the first cipher/decipher key.

Abstract: A vortex shedding flowmeter includes a sensor assembly received within a sleeve assembly that has a sensor tab extending into the fluid stream. The sleeve assembly includes a flexible sleeve portion that can flex slightly in the presence of vortices. The flexible sleeve exerts a force on a rocker arm of the sensor assembly which causes the sensor assembly to pivot about a pair of piezoelectric crystals mounted therein. A unique electrode pad and split electrode arrangement relative to the piezoelectric crystals is employed to provide the voltage signals from the piezoelectric crystals to a sensing circuit. The flowmeter can be used in either in-line or insertion applications. Alternatively, the sensor assembly can be provided with a sensor tab on an end thereof and the sleeve assembly replaced with a bellows housing that retains the sensor assembly and allows the rocker arm to deflect slightly in the presence of vortices while the bellows associated with the bellows housing prevents fluid from entering the electronics portion of the flowmeter.

Abstract: A process for the production of grain oriented electrical Fe-Si strips in which a Si-containing alloy is directly cast as a strip between 2.5-5.0 mm thick and cold rolled in one stage, or in more stages with intermediate annealing, to a final thickness of between 0.15-1.0 mm. The strip is then continuously annealed to carry out the primary recrystallization and then annealed to carry out the oriented secondary recrystallization. The process further includes that after solidification of the strip, and before its coiling, a phase transformation from Ferrite to Austenite is induced into the metal matrix for a volume fraction between 25-60%, obtained by controlling the alloy composition so that the Austenite fraction is allowed within the stability equilibrium between the two phases. The strip is then deformed by rolling in-line with the casting step to obtain a deformation higher than 20% in the temperature interval 1000-1300° C.
