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: The present invention generally relates to the field of optical transmission and
particularly to a method and an apparatus for controlling the optical power of an
optical transmission signal in wavelength division multiplex optical transmission
system (WDM system). 
     It is known to add one additional channel to the optical transmission signal of WDM
systems, for controlling the power of the optical transmission signal. The optical
power of the control channel is controlled to keep the total optical power of the
optical transmission signal constant, e. g., if a channel of the optical transmission
signal fails, the optical power of the control channel is increased. To change the
optical power of the control channel usually the injection current of a laser which
generates the control channel is changed as the laser is operated in the continuous
wave mode. This causes the disadvantage of cross talk which influences the optical
transmission signal. 
     The present invention avoids this disadvantage by adding an optical control signal
having a fixed optical peak power level. The necessary variations of the average
optical power of the control signal are effected by adjusting the period and/or the
pulse width of the optical control signal. The mean optical power of the optical control
signal resulting from the fixed optical power level, the period and the pulse width is
compensating the variations in the optical power of the optical transmission signal.

Abstract: Life insurance methods, systems and products which revolve around having an insurance plan with at least two separate but related insurance contracts on the same insured or insureds. The contracts are developed using life insurance product data to develop tables from which death benefits and premium obligations, and usually cash values, are determined based upon an insured's gender, age and other risk factors. The death benefits and premium obligations, and cash values, if any, are divided between the two or more contracts where more of the premium obligations are assigned to one or more of the contracts while more of the death benefits and cash values, if any, are assigned to one or more of the remaining contracts. Nonforfeiture and surrender provisions as well as typical riders can be added to one or all of the contracts. The death benefits and cash values of the contracts are a function of the premiums paid for all of the contracts.

Abstract: The home network environment of the present invention is the digital
video broadcasting (DVB) wherein the services can be shared with respect
to a Master/Slave protocol by a plurality of audio/video/data processing
devices (51,52,53,54) which are for instance Set Top Units. A may have
access to services that are offered to the Master STU on the same transport
stream. The principles of sharing the resource is based on the Master/Slave
protocol. The first STU that is connected to a DVB receiver becomes the
Master of this DVB receiver. As long as there is an available DVB receiver, a
STU will have access to all the services accessible by this receiver. If there
are no more receivers left, a STU may have access to all the services
currently viewed by the other STUs and more specifically to all the services
offered on the transponder that comprises the services currently viewed by
said other STUs. Thus, the method for optimising the resource consists in
assigning to each STU connecting to the home network, one of the receiving
means that is available, by conferring to each STU a status of Master STU;
in assigning to each newly connected STU one of the receiving means that
provide requested resource and conferring a status of Slave STU, when no
receiving means is available; and sharing the resource between Master
STUs and Slave STUs in the home network so as to provide access to the
requested resource for the Slave STUs. 
     Conversely, an apparatus for sharing the resource further comprises
control means (100,200) dedicated for each STU for displaying resource that
is available for the corresponding STU wherein the control means contains
an indication of Slave status for resource that can be provided for the
corresponding STU and a special indication for resource that is currently
used by a corresponding STU.
