Abstract: Systems and methods for near-field, interferometric microscopy are disclosed in which a mask having an array of sub-wavelength apertures is used to couple near-field probe beams to a sample. The periphery of the mask further includes one or more larger apertures to couple light to the sample that forms the basis of an interferometric signal indicative of the relative distance between the mask and the sample. The interferometric signal can be the basis of a control signal in a servo system that dynamically positions the mask relative to the sample.

Abstract: A method for enhancing a host cell's biosynthetic production of 2-KLG is described. Such method comprises selecting a host cell that has an at least partially intracellular synthetic pathway which utilizes 2,5-DKG to produce 2-KLG; increasing the transport of said 2,5-DKG into said host cell while maintaining the integrity of the host cell; culturing the host cell to produce said 2,5-DKG; and producing 2-KLG. The transport of the 2,5-DKG is increased by transforming into the host cell DNA encoding for one or more enzymes transporting the 2,5-DKG into the host cell.

Abstract: Two-dimensional photonic crystal slab apparatus (10, 40, 50) and a method
for fabricating two-dimensional photonic crystal slab apparatus (10, 40, 50). A two-dimensional
photonic crystal slab apparatus (10, 40, 50) has a photonic crystal slab
(20, 70, 110) containing a two-dimensional periodic lattice, and upper and lower
cladding layers (26, 28, 80, 82, 74, 76, 105, 116, 103, 112) for the photonic crystal
slab (20, 70, 110), the upper and lower cladding layers (26, 28, 80, 82, 74, 76, 105,
116, 103, 112) each including a metallic cladding layer (30, 32, 82, 76, 116, 112). The
metallic cladding layers (30, 32, 82, 76, 116, 112) permit achieving substantially
perfect light transmission through a waveguide (42, 52) in the slab (20, 70, 110), even

Inventor: TAKANO MOTOHARU
IPC: B65B55/02
Filed: 2002-08-20
Abstract: Disclosed are a pressure heating method and a pressure
heating apparatus which can prevent deformation of articles or
deterioration of the quality of the articles due to supply of
excessive pressure and heat. After performing pressurizing
and heating processing of articles by supplying steam to a
pressure vessel, the supply of steam is stopped and air is
supplied to the pressure vessel to keep the internal pressure
of the pressure vessel within the range not exceeding the
maximum value of the internal pressure at the time of
pressurizing and heating. A cooling water spray device on a
circulation pipe is operated along with a turbo blower so as
to condense it for gradual removal. After completing the
removal of the steam, the articles are cooled by the operation
of the cooling water jet unit. By avoiding an abrupt decrease
in the pressure inside the pressure vessel through preventing
an instant condensation of the whole steam, an excessive
pre-load becomes unnecessary at the final stage of
sterilization. Therefore, deformation of the articles such as
canned foods and deterioration of the quality of the articles
due to the temperature increase caused by the preload can be
avoided.

Abstract: A destructive-read memory is one that the process of reading the memory causes the contents of the memory to be destroyed. Such a memory may be used in devices that are intended to acquire data that may have associated usage restrictions, such as an expiration date, usage count limit, or data access fee for the acquired data. Typically, to enforce usage restrictions, and protect against theft, complex and often costly security techniques are applied to acquired data. With destructive-read memory, complex and costly security is not required for stored data. In one embodiment, a write-back mechanism, which may employ security, is responsible for enforcing usage restrictions. If the write-back mechanism determines continued access to acquired data is allowed, then it writes back the data as it is destructively read from the memory.

Abstract: Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) specific for antigenic peptides derived from IgE molecules can be generated  in vitro  by stimulating resting naïve CD8 T cells. The IgE specific CTLs lyse the target cells loaded with IgE  peptides in vitro  and inhibit antigen specific IgE responses  in vivo.  In addition, adoptive transfer of the IgE specific CTL to an asthmatic mouse model can inhibit the development of lung inflammation and airway hypersensitivity. IgE specific CTL provides a treatment for allergic asthma and other IgE-mediated allergic diseases. Antigenic peptides identified from non-tumor self-antigens induce specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte  in vitro.  The CTL indicyed by peptides identified from CD40L can kill activated CD4 T cells.  In vitro  generated CTL specific for CD40L inhibit CD4-dependent antibody responses of all isotypes  in vivo.  In contrast, CTL indiced by antigenic peptides derived from IgE specifically inhibit IgE responses, and adoptive transfer of CD40L-specific CTL in NOD mice at early stage delay the development of diabetes in NOD mice.  In vitro  generated CTL specific for non-tumor self-antigens expressed on activated CD4 T cells regulate immune response  in vivo.
