Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un nouveau système pour l'amplification intracellulaire transitoire ou stable, constitutive ou induite, d'ARN étranger dans une cellule ou un organisme animal. Ce système consiste en l'amplification d'ARN autonome ARN dépendante par l'expression de l'ARN polymérase ARN dépendante (RdRP) d'un virus végétal dans des cellules animales. L'amplification est initiée par un transcrit d'ARN (transcrit primaire) comportant les séquences cis-actives pour cette RdRP. L'ARN ainsi amplifié peut alors servir de mARN pour la synthèse protéinique, d'effecteur ARN (par ex. en tant qu'ARN antisens contre certains mARN ou certaines molécules ARN virales, en tant que ribozyme contre des molécules d'ARN cellulaires ou des ARN de structure recombinante dans des ribosomes ou des splicéosomes) ou bien d'ARN génomique pour la production de virus recombinants. Les applications in vivo comprennent la thérapie génétique, la vaccination et la vaccination thérapeutique.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of multi-band phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer architectures (200) with an improved phase noise performance, that can advantageously be applied to wireless multi-mode transceivers in a cellular communication system based on the UMTS and on the GSM/GPRS standard. It particularly refers to a multi-band PLL frequency synthesizer (200) comprising three PLL frequency synthesizer subunits (202, 203, 204) used for generating carrier signals (co1,i(t), co2,j(t), co3,l(t), co4,l(t)) with frequencies (fo1,fo2,fo3,fo4) suitable for UMTS and GSM/GPRS frequency bands, especially to an extension of the PLL frequency synthesizer architecture of a conventional quad-band transceiver (200) providing additional carrier signals (co5,k(t)) with appropriate carrier frequencies (fo5,k) for the GSM/GPRS 850 MHz frequency band <??>Moreover, a multi-mode PLL frequency synthesizer (200) of a wireless multi-mode transceiver is proposed, which comprises a reference frequency source (201) providing an oscillator signal (sr(t)) with a constant reference frequency (fr), a first frequency synthesizer subunit (202) for converting said signal (sr(t)) into carrier signals (co1,i(t)) with frequencies (fo1,i) in the range of a first frequency band (UMTS TDD1+2 Tx/Rx, UMTS FDD Tx), a second frequency synthesizer subunit (203) for transforming the oscillator signal (sr(t)) into carrier signals (co2,j(t)) having frequencies (fo2,j) in the range of a second frequency band (UMTS FDD Rx), and a third frequency synthesizer subunit (204) for converting the oscillator signal (sr(t)) into an auxiliary signal (sa(t)) with a fixed frequency (fa). Said auxiliary signal (sa(t)) is used together with the carrier signals (co2,j(t)) of said second frequency band (UMTS FDD Rx) to generate carrier signals (co3,l(t), co4,l(t)) with frequencies (fo3,l, fo4,l) in the range of a third (GSM/GPRS (DCS) 1,800 MHz Tx/Rx, GSM/GPRS (PCS) 1,900 MHz Tx/Rx) and fourth frequency band (GSM/GPRS 900 MHz Tx/Rx, and GSM/GPRS 850 MHz Rx). A frequency divider (241) derives a signal (co5(t)) in the range of a fifth frequency band (GSM/GPRS 850 MHz Tx) from further intermediate frequency signals (s11,k(t)) supplied by the third frequency synthesizer subunit (204) by dividing the frequency (fa) of the auxiliary signal (sa(t)) by an integer value (M12). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic method for increasing the throughput of a container reloading point or a container storage space and for reducing the loading and unloading time for a container transport vehicle. According to said method, after the identification of a container transport vehicle, the loading platform of the transport vehicle that has been parked in the parking area of the container storage space is measured. The position co-ordinates of the loading platform are determined by a data processing system. The container to be loaded is then automatically positioned by means of a crane, using the position co-ordinates of the loading platform. To align the container exactly in relation to the loading platform, the latter is measured again and any deviation in relation to the position of the container thus obtained is used for said exact alignment. The container is deposited on the platform automatically. The unloading of a container transport vehicle involves practically identical steps.

Abstract: The invention purposes to provide a position information transmission method for accurately transmitting a position and a shape on a digital map with a small amount of data.  In a position information transmission method of the invention, the transmitting side transmits road shape information to specify the target road section on a digital map and event information to specify an event position by using a relative position in the target road section and the receiving side performs map matching based on the road shape information to identify the target road section and identifies the event position in the target road section based on the event information is  characterized in that  the transmitting side intermittently selects nodes included in the target road section to include the coordinate data of the nodes in the road shape information for transmission, and that the receiving side performs map matching to determine the positions of the nodes included in the road shape information and obtains the road connecting the nodes by way of a route search to identify the target road section. It is thus possible to efficiently and accurately transmit an event position on a digital map.
