Title: DEGP periplasmic protease a new anti-infective target and an invitro assay for DEGP protease function
Inventor: JONES HAL C
IPC: C12Q1/37
Filed: 2000-06-29
Abstract: The DegP (HtrA) protease is a multifunctional protein essential for the removal of misfolded and aggregated proteins in the periplasm. The present invention provides an assay for inhibitors of DegP activity, comprising mixing a suspected inhibitor of DegP activity with DegP and a suitable substrate (preferably a native substrate of DegP such as PapA) and detecting changes in DegP activity. DegP has been shown to be essential for virulence in several Gram negative pathogens. Only three natural targets for DegP have been described: colicin A lysis protein (Cal), pilin subunits (K88, K99, Pap) and recently HMW1 and HMW2 from Hemophilus influenzae. In vitro, DegP has shown weak protease activity on casein and several other non-native substrates. The present inventors have identified the major pilin subunit of the Pap pilus, PapA, as a native DegP substrate and demonstrated binding and proteolysis of this substrate in vitro. Using an NH2-terminal affinity tag the present inventors have purified PapA away from the PapD chaperone, in the presence of denaturant, to use as a proteolysis substrate. This finding will allow the identification of the DegP recognition and cleavage sites in substrate proteins, and further, allow the design of small molecule inhibitors of protease function.

Title: Flow control by evaluating network load
Inventor: KERR PAUL R
IPC: G11B20/10
Filed: 1994-02-02
Abstract: A computer-based media data processor for controlling transmission of digitized media data in a packet switching network. When the processor receives a request from a network client node for presentation of specified media data stream presentation unit sequences the processor in response retrieves media data from a corresponding media access location, determines the media data type of each presentation unit in the retrieved media data, and designates each retrieved presentation unit to a specified media data presentation unit sequence based on the media data type determination for that presentation unit. The processor then assembles a sequence of presentation descriptors for each of the specified presentation unit sequences, all presentation descriptors in an assembled sequence being of a common media data type, and then assembles transmission presentation unit packets each composed of at least a portion of a presentation descriptor and its media data, all presentation descriptors and media data in an assembled packet being of a common media data type. The assembled packets are then released for transmission via the network to the client processing node requesting presentation of the specified presentation unit sequences.
Patent AU-6134386-A (AU)
Title: Apparatus and method for the production of ribbed pipes
Inventor: JARVENKYLA JYRI
IPC: B29C48/13
Filed: 1986-07-03
Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus and a method for the production of outwardly ribbed, plastic pipes. The apparatus includes a core around which a plasticized material is pressed from a nozzle. A kernel having an essentially constant diameter is positioned at the terminal end of the core for a smooth inner face of the pipe. The outer face of the pipe is ribbed by grooves of axially displaceable chill moulds. The end zone of the kernel is provided for the cooling of the inner face of the pipe. In known apparatuses the grooves of the chill moulds are often filled incompletely and the inner face of the pipe becomes uneven on account of air bubbles, for instance. These disadvantages are avoided by heating an initial zone of the kernel for heating the inner face of the pipe and by shaping the surface of the initial zone to slightly expand conicallly in the production direction.

Title: Detecting contraband by employing interactive multiprobe tomography
Inventor: KRUG KRISTOPH D
IPC: G01V5/00
Filed: 1996-09-25
Abstract: An inspection system for detecting a specific material of interest in items of baggage or packages includes a multi-view X-ray inspection probe and one or more material sensitive probes. The multi-view X-ray inspection probe employs X-ray radiation transmitted through or scattered from an examined item to identify a suspicious region inside the item. An interface is used to receive from said X-ray inspection probe X-ray data providing spatial information about the suspicious region and to provide this information to a selected material sensitive probe. The material sensitive probe then acquires material specific information about the previously-identified suspicious region and provides it to a computer. The computer uses a high level detection algorithm to identify presence of the specific material in the suspicious region. The material sensitive probe may be a directional probe such as a coherent scatter probe, or a non-directional probe such as a Compton scatter probe or an NQR probe. The detection algorithm can automatically employ the different probes operating in a preferred geometry. The inspection system may also include a graphical interface and an operator interface that enable interactive communication with the detection algorithm.
