Abstract: There is disclosed a method of producing a copolymer by polymerizing at least two monomers having different reactivity as constitutional components, comprising carrying out a polymerization while adding a monomer component B having high reactivity, to a solution of a monomer component A having low reactivity dissolved in a non-aqueous solvent having a boiling point of 55  DEG C to 120  DEG C, in the presence of a polymerization initiator. The method can give a copolymer high in solubility and suitable for the processing by the flush vacuum dry system, and the method is excellent from the standpoint of the production capacity and stable/safe production throughout the process.

Abstract: New lithographic layer (I) for printing blankets comprising a polyurethane (II) based thermoplastic material (III) incorporating a copolymer of ethylene vinyl acetate (IV) to confer a polar quality guaranteeing an optimum transfer of ink from (I) to the paper. Also claimed is a printing blanket or sleeve comprising (I). Preferably (II) is an ethylene-propylene copolymer. (III) incorporates bulk, such as magnesium silicates, aluminium silicates, or metal oxides, and plasticisers (for example an ester or a polymer). For 100 parts of (II), (I) contains 0-20 parts by weight of (IV), 0-30 parts by weight of bulk and 0-10 parts by weight of plasticiser. (I) contains at least one pigment (0-2 parts by weight for 100 parts of (III)). (II) has a polar component in water, formamide and dimethyl sulphoxide of 0-20 mJ/m<2> (5-12 mJ/m<2> in water and 0-10 mJ/m<2> in formamide preferred). (I) is used in printing. Because (I) has a significant polar component, virtually all the ink is transferred from (I) to the paper. This ensures a good quality print and avoids the need to clean or change the printing blanket too frequently.

Abstract: A system and method for conducting a multi-person, interactive auction, in a variety of formats, without using a human auctioneer to conduct the auction. The system is preferably implemented in software. The system allows a group of bidders to interactively place bids over a computer or communications network. Those bids are recorded by the system and the bidders are updated with the current auction status information. When appropriate, the system closes the auction from further bidding and notifies the winning bidders and losers as to the auction outcome.

Abstract: This invention concerns a process for producing an electromagnetically screening seal (15) which consists of a substrate (10) to which a sealant strand (14) out of an elastic and electrically conducting sealant material is firmly affixed. In this process a curable elastic and electrically conducting sealant material in paste form is applied to adhere in a pre-set geometrical pattern to the substrate (10) and subsequently is cured. The flexibility in the application is increased in that the sealant is applied to the substrate (10) through a nozzle (13) in the form of a sealant strand (14) by means of an application device (12) which moves relative to the substrate (10). The sealant strand (14) then is cured.

Abstract: Le procédé de traitement d'oxyde de lithium-manganèse d'une structure spinelle consiste à chauffer le spinel d'oxyde de manganèse-lithium dans une atmosphère d'un gas inerte, par exemple l'argon, l'hélium, l'azote ou le dioxyde de carbone, qui ne réagit avec le spinel. Dans une variante, le spinel peut d'abord être revêtu d'un hydroxyde de métal alcalin, de préférence un hydroxyde de lithium, de sodium ou de potassium, puis être chauffé dans une atmosphère contenant de préférence du dioxyde de carbone. Un tel traitement d'un spinel d'oxyde de lithium-manganèse permet d'améliorer la performance du spinel lorsqu'il est utilisé en tant qu'électrode dans des piles rechargeables telles que des cellules à ion lithium. Dans une autre variante, le spinel peut d'abord être traité dans une solution aqueuse d'un sel métallique soluble d'un acide carboxylique avant traitement avec le dioxyde de carbone ou un gaz inerte chauffé. Dans ce cas, le spinel peut éventuellement être traité avec un hydroxyde alcalin avant son traitement avec le dioxyde de carbone ou avec le gaz inerte.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for detecting cancer cells in a sample comprising detection of the expression of a Prostate Tumor Inducing Gene in the sample, wherein a positive detection of the expression indicates the presence of cancer cells in the sample. In an embodiment, the expression is performed by measuring the level of PTI mRNA. The mRNA is measured by reverse transcription - polymerase chain reaction using at least a pair of appropriate primers. It is well known in the art that once the sequence of the Prostate Tumor Inducing Gene is determined, appropriate pair of primers may be selected. This invention also provides the above method, wherein the expression is performed by measuring the level of PTI protein. The level of PTI protein is measured by steps of: a) contacting the sample with antibody capable of specifically recognizing PTI-1 protein under conditions permitting formation of complexes between the PTI-1 protein and the antibody; and b) measuring the complex formed, thereby measuring the level of PTI-1 protein expressed in the cancer cells.

Abstract: A system for allowing a two word instruction to be executed in a single cycle thereby allowing a processor system to increase memory space without reducing performance. A first address bus is coupled to the linearized program memory for sending addresses of instructions to be fetched to a linearized program memory. A pointer is coupled to the first address bus for storing an address location of a current instruction in the linearized program memory to be fetched and for placing the address location of the current instruction to be fetched on the first address bus. A second address bus is provided and has one end coupled to the output of the program memory and a second end coupled to the first address bus. The second address bus is used for placing an address of an operand of a second word of the two word instruction onto the first address bus after an address of an operand of a first word of the two word instruction has been placed on the first address bus. This allows the addresses of the first word and the second word to be combined to provide the full address value of the two word instruction in a single cycle. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Space between the heat exchanger casing and a series of flat parallel tubes containing high temperature fluid is used to circulate lower temperature fluid. The heat exchanger has a first series of flow channels for a first high temperature fluid, made from thermally conducting material and a second series of flow channels for a second fluid at a lower temperature, also made from a thermally conducting material. These channels intercept perpendicularly so as to ensure heat transfer between the first and second fluids. Each channel is of oblong shape and is divided by insertion of a thermally conducting material fixed to the long internal channel faces on a number of internal channels. The first series of channels are formed from flat parallel tubes (7) juxtaposed in the direction perpendicular to the large axis of their transversal section at pre-set distances between two exterior lateral plates (8). These plates are parallel to the tubes in a casing (9) which is open other lateral faces and is maintained at the top and bottom by input and output collector plates (13, 14) of collector inputs (2) and outputs (3), in which the tubes (7) terminate. The channels of the second series are formed in the spaces between the exterior of the tubes (7) and the plates of the casing (9).
