Abstract: The present invention relates to gene therapy methods for the treatment of human disease. More specifically, the invention is directed, in one embodiment, to methods for treating a subject with a hyperproliferative disease. In another embodiment, an adenoviral expression construct comprising a nucleic acid encoding a human MDA-7 protein under the control of a promoter operable in eukaryotic cells is administered to the patient with a hyperproliferative disease. The present invention thus provides a gene therapy for treating hyperproliferative disease by elevating the expression of MDA-7 resulting in inhibition of cell growth and induction of apoptosis in hyperproliferative cells.

Abstract: A drill bit including a bit body and a plurality of blades formed in the bit body.
The blades are formed, at least in part, from a base matrix material that on one
embodiment is impregnated with abrasive particles. One side of the bit is formed, with
respect to its axis of rotation, to a smaller radius than the opposite side of the bit. The
asymmetry of the bit enables the bit to drill a larger diameter hole than a pass through
diameter of the bit. The opposite side defines a contact angle between the bit and a
formation. In one embodiment, the contact angle is at least 140 degrees.. In one
embodiment, a plurality of inserts may be located on the blades to provide gage
protection. In another embodiment, the bit may also include a gage sleeve that helps
keep the bit stabilized in the wellbore.

Abstract: To automatically and continuously conducting the layout, the blocking and the process
of grinding an edge of three types of lenses, i.e., a single-vision lens, a progressing
multifocal lens and a multifocal lens. 
     The prism amount and the like values are measured at a position A0 on the optical
surface of an uncut lens and a position for calculation of the optical center A1 is
obtained by calculation. When the distance between A0 and A1 is equal to a specific
value or smaller than the specific value, A0 is temporarily decided as the blocking
position and A1 is decided as the optical center. When the distance exceeds the specific
value, the position for the measurement of the prism amount and the like is changed to
A1 and the second position for calculation of the optical center A2 is obtained by
calculation similarly in accordance with an equation using the values obtained by the
measurements. By conducting similar steps, the optical center is decided and the
position of the blocking is temporarily decided. It is examined whether a processing
interference takes place at the temporarily decided position of the blocking. When the
absence of the processing interference is confirmed, the blocking is conducted at the
decided position. When the processing interference is estimated to take place, a position
without the processing interference is selected from the positions obtained as above and
the blocking is conducted at the selected position.

Abstract: A logo data generating system and method easily generate logo data suitable for storage to and
output by a particular target printer (19) without requiring a complicated process defining the
image processing and data communication parameters. An input unit (15) enables inputting
control data including various settings and model ID data for identifying the model of the target
printer (19). A source image capturing unit (11) obtains the source data used to generate the
logo data. A storage means (12) stores the model-specific data. A main controller (17) reads
model-specific data for the target printer (19) identified by the model ID data, and sets control
data including part or all of the settings for logo data generation. A data processor (13) generates
the logo data by processing the source data based on the settings data defined by the input
means (15) or the model-specific data setting means. Specific control data is thus set
automatically based on the model-specific data.

Abstract: The solution refers to the way of vector construction, based on the utilization of modified
translational Kozak consensus to connect promoter regulatory sequence with a coding
structural gene fragment. The recombinant plasmid vector prWhEBS-BNX was constructed.
For connection of the gene genome sequence for hEPO with the promoter of gene for rWAP
the original motif of translation Kozak consensus is modified by installation of  NotI 
restriction site. In this way prepared expression vector prWhEBS-BNX is transferred to
genome of eukaryotic cells and genome of vertebrates for production of a polypeptide product
presenting the entire primary structural conformation of human erythropoietin.
