Inventor: HONG HEE-JEON
IPC: C12Q1/18
Filed: 2001-05-30
Abstract: The invention provides a method of detecting in a sample the activity of an antibiotic which affects cell integrity, which method comprises the steps of: a) providing a transformed microorganism which comprises a nucleic acid encoding a promoter operably linked to a heterologous reporter gene capable of causing a detectable signal; b) contacting the sample with the transformed microorganism; c) observing said microorganism for said detectable signal, wherein the promoter is regulated by a two-component signal transduction system, which signal components are: i) a receptor responsive to changes in the cell envelope or membrane of the microorganism, ii) a trans-acting factor which is activated in response to stimulation by the receptor, and which regulates the promoter. Preferred signal components are derived from CseB and CseC which regulate a sigE promoter. Also provided are corresponding microorganisms, systems, kits, and processes of use of these things.

Abstract: A multilumen catheter that maximizes the blood flow into and out of the patient's vasculature while also providing for passive and/or active perfusion of tissue downstream of where the catheter resides in the vasculature. The inventive catheter comprises a proximal end, a first distal and a second distal end. Lumens extending from the proximal end to each of these distal ends provide for blood circulation within one or between two blood vessels. At least one aperture in one of the lumens positioned near the proximal end provides for active perfusion of blood to the patient's vasculature downstream of where the aperture resides in the vasculature when the catheter is inserted into the patient for treatment. The inventive catheter may comprise a third lumen positioned entirely within the patient's vasculature, providing passive perfusion of blood to the patient's vasculature downstream of where the third lumen resides in the vasculature when the catheter is inserted into the patient for treatment.

Abstract: Provided are a post-processing device, an image forming
apparatus having the post-processing device and an error
handling method therefor. A conveyed sheet is temporarily
stacked on a pair of slide guides (310, 311), and after
post-processing such as stapling is conducted on the sheets,
the slide guides (310, 311) are opened to drop down the sheets
on a face-down discharge portion (125) on an upper surface
of a printer (100). If the number of sheets temporarily
stacked on the slide guides (310, 311) exceeds the
post-processing possible number of sheets, the slide guides
(310, 311) are opened to drop down the sheets on the face-down
discharge portion (125). If the size of sheets to be
post-processed is unsuitable for the post-processing, a
flapper (301) is changed over so that the sheets transported
from the printer main body (100) are discharged directly
to the face-down discharge portion (125) and stacked thereon.

Patent EP-1251628-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BECHERUCCI RAFFAELE
IPC: H02K15/095
Filed: 2002-04-18
Abstract: Apparatus and methods for winding wire around
the poles and partly within the slots of dynamoelectric
machine components, such as stators. Some stators are
designed with poles having pole tips that extend
relatively far in a peripheral direction, perhaps
reaching nearly half way across the stator core. When
the pole tips reach so far around the stator core and
thus leave little room between opposing pole tips, it may
be difficult to use winding technologies with needles
that need to move between opposing pole tips. Therefore,
stators may be divided into segments for the winding of
each pole, and then reassembled to form a complete
stator. The segments are wound by rotating the segment
and a wire guide structure about an axis, while providing
wire to the rotating apparatus from a wire source.

Abstract: A navigation system of a hybrid car retrieves a route
to detect whether any restricted area forbidden for automobiles
that emit exhaust gases is on the route or not. Before the
hybrid car arrives at the restricted area, an electric motor
is driven by a gasoline engine portion to charge a battery portion.
After the hybrid car arrives at the restricted area, only the
electric motor is operated by electric power of the battery
portion so that the hybrid car can pass through the restricted
area. As a result, the hybrid car can arrive at a destination
by the shortest distance without bypassing the restricted area,
and the environment of the restricted area can be protected
because the gasoline engine portion is not operated in the
restricted area.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de reconstruction de la structure tridimensionnelle de la surface d'une cavité (1) sous forme de données de localisation. Ce procédé consiste à introduire une sonde (7) dans la cavité en question à l'aide d'un capteur optique (8). Cette sonde (7) est introduite depuis l'extérieur de l'entrée de la cavité (1). Les signaux vidéo ainsi produits sont transformés, au moyen d'un calculateur, en données de localisation de la surface de la cavité (1). Ce procédé est particulièrement approprié pour reconstruire le conduit auditif externe. On peut en outre utiliser ces données pour agir sur un dispositif de production et fabriquer les coquilles de dispositifs auditifs, tels que les appareils auditifs. De préférence, les points de contraste sont appliqués sur la surface de la cavité avant d'introduire la sonde. La transformation des signaux vidéo en données de localisation est préférablement réalisée par des méthodes itératives d'algorithmes de factorisation.
