Abstract: L'invention concerne des protéines de fusion nouvelles qui activent la transcription, des constructions d'acides nucléiques codant lesdites protéines et leur utilisation dans le génie génétique des cellules. Ces protéines clés renferment au moins deux domaines mutuellement hétérologues, dont l'un est un domaine d'assemblage en faisceaux. Ce type de domaine comprend tout domaine conduisant les protéines qui le renferment à constituer des multimères ('faisceaux') par interactions mutuelles protéine-protéine ou par interaction avec d'autres protéines contenant le domaine en question. Parmi les exemples de domaines d'assemblage en faisceaux pouvant être utilisés aux fins de l'invention figurent des domaines comme le domaine de tétramérisation inhibiteur de lac, le domaine de tétramérisation p53, un domaine de type 'leucine zipper', et les domaines dérivés qui conservent une activité observable d'assemblage en faisceaux. Les opérations de génie génétique des cellules consistent à introduire dans ces cellules des acides nucléiques de recombinaison codant ces protéines de fusion et, dans certaines cas, par le biais de constructions d'acides nucléiques supplémentaires, à rendre lesdites cellules capables d'assurer une régulation dépendante du ligand pour la transcription d'un gène cible. Le fait d'administrer le ligand aux cellules régule alors (positivement ou, parfois, négativement) la transcription des gènes cibles.

Abstract: A method for forming through holes, which has
laser beam as the light source to project the laser
beam to the work object using an optical system through
a photomask for the formation of through holes on the
work object by ablation processing, comprises the steps
of increasing the concentration of the optical
processing energy contributing to the process using the
reflected beam created from the work object in the
laser ablation processing; and forming each of through
holes having the configuration enabling the narrower
end to be changed to the wider end in the incident
direction of laser beam. With the structure thus
arranged, it becomes possible to increase the energy
concentration that contributes to the process as
compared with the usual ablation processing, because
the reflected beam created in the ablation processing
can be utilized again for the optical processing.
Then, each of the through holes can be formed easily in
the configuration in which the narrower end changes to
the wider end in the incident direction of laser beam,
which cannot be easily processed by the application of
the usual ablation processing.

Abstract: A user interface high-lighter function for scanner software that allows a user to automatically select a portion or several disjoint portions of text within a region of text in a preview scan of a document. When activated, the high-lighter function causes the normal mouse cursor to be replaced with a high-lighter icon (214) having an active edge (244). Using the mouse, the active edge (244) of the high-lighter icon (214) is moved across a desired portion of text, and background pixels traversed are displayed in a different color. The traversed pixels are then used as input for an image processing routine. Text regions are generated from the traversed pixels. The beginning and ending of lines not high-lighted are cropped. A polygonal bounding box (416, 418, 420) is then displayed around the selected text. An un-highlight mode can be activated to reduce the selected text. An optimized re-scan of the selected text can now be performed.

WebAgents. The Web content (compressed) is converted to a text encoded (e.g.,
hexadecimal) representation compatible with the computer source programming
language of the Web server and mini-client processes (202. 204, 504, 512..520). The
Web content, so converted, is then compiled and linked (506) with the server and
mini-client processes in a simple build operation.

Abstract: A three-dimensional image of flowing fluid or moving tissue using
velocity or power Doppler data is displayed by using an ultrasound scanner that
collects velocity or power data in a cine memory to form a volume of pixel data.
Average or median pixel values are projected (86) on an image plane by casting rays
through the data volume. As the ray passes through each scan plane, a data value is
assigned to the ray at that point. At each scan plane, the assigned pixel data value is
tested (88) to see if it exceeds a noise threshold. For a given ray, pixel data values
above the detection threshold are accumulated (90) until a pixel data value falls
below the detection threshold (92). A minimum number of pixel data values
exceeding the threshold are required for each ray before the average of the
accumulated values is processed and/or the median value is selected (94). When all
pixels along a given ray have been tested, the projection is complete and the average
or median projection is then displayed. Uniformity within the projected image and
the sharpness of edges are enhanced by projecting average or median pixel values
instead of maximum pixel values.
