Patent EP-1081592-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BALL THOMAS J
IPC: G10L15/18
Filed: 2000-08-21
Abstract: Interactive services with multiple interfaces are realized by employing a
modular approach to their implementation. Such an approach facilitates supporting
natural language understanding interaction with users through use of interfaces that at
least allow the user to provide information beyond what is currently being requested by
the service, and/or different ordering of inputs, and/or incomplete information, and/or
correction of information, and/or the return of control to prior points in the service. This
is realized, in an embodiment of the invention, by employing an interactive service
logic that uses " reactive constraint graphs ", i.e., a form of event-driven graph, in which
nodes contain contraints on events, in conjunction with a service monitor. The service
monitor manages the communication between the service logic and the multiple user
interfaces. As such it provides a communication mechanism in the form of a so-called
"look ahead" in which the user can input information beyond what is currently required
by the interactive service. Specifically, in each round of user interaction, reactive
constraint graphs report to the service monitor the set of events that are currently
enabled. These enable events correspond to the information the interactive service is
currently requesting (or ready to accept) from a user. The user interfaces collect
information (perhaps beyond this set) from the user and send it to the service monitor.
The service monitor then matches the received information against the information
requested by the service logic, and sends the information one event at a time to the
service logic, in a priority order specified by the service provider. After each event is
sent to the service logic from the service monitor, the service logic reports its new set of
enabled events back to the service monitor. In turn, the service monitor sends another
event that matches the enabled events to the service logic. The service monitor then
notifies the user interfaces to send a new collection, i.e., set, of information from the
individual users only when no current information matches the enabled events. This
approach advantageously allows a user to input information beyond what is currently
needed by the interactive service.

Abstract: In magnetic resonance imaging apparatus employing magnetic gradient fields in a phase-encode
direction for spatially encoding excited MR active nuclei in a region of interest
of a patient, in which a reduced number of readings in the phase-encode direction is
taken, thereby creating an aliased reduced field of view image, a pair of r.f. receive coils
is used together with sensitivity information concerning those coils in order to unfold the
aliased image to produce a full image while taking advantage of the reduced time of
collection of data. In accordance with the invention, the phase sensitivity pattern of each
coil over the region of interest is different from that of the other coil.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of detecting analytes in a sample. According to said method, analyte-specific binders (15) are immobilized on a plurality of detection fields (5, 7) on one of the planar faces of a disk-shaped substrate (3). The sample is contacted with said detection fields (5, 7) and the presence or/and the quantity of the analytes (17) to be detected is determined by optically evaluating the detection fields (5, 7). According to the invention, a substrate (3) is used that is produced from an optically transparent material. The detection fields (5, 7) are arranged along at least one spiral line (27) distributed across the substrate (3). After the sample has been contacted with the detection fields (5, 7), a reflecting layer (21) is flatly applied on the substrate (3) on the planar face carrying the detection fields (5, 7). Alternatively, a magnetic read-out of the substrate can be made instead of the optical read-out.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un complexe contenant un acide nucléique, contenant un acide nucléique et un polymère biodégradable, notamment un polymère biodégradable à charge positive non soluble dans l'eau. Le complexe présente d'excellentes propriétés de libération soutenue d'un acide nucléique voulu, notamment de l'ADN, sur un site nécessitant un traitement. Etant donné que le complexe peut être absorbé par des phagocytes tels que des macrophages et délivré spécifiquement sur le site cible, la fonction de l'acide nucléique peut être mise en lumière d'une manière spécifique au site cible, et ainsi une thérapie génique plus spécifique peut être obtenue. Le complexe ne présente pas d'effets secondaires, tels que l'apparition de recombinés ou une toxicité qui pourrait être engendrée par l'utilisation d'un vecteur viral tel qu'un adénovirus ou un liposome. Ainsi, le complexe est particulièrement préférable pour le domaine de la thérapie génique. De plus, le complexe améliore l'effet biologique de l'acide nucléique introduit dans les cellules, permettant une thérapie génique avec une dose inférieure d'acides nucléiques.
