Abstract: Selon cette invention, on construit des virus et/ou des plasmides qui contiennent un ADN viral et dans lesquels il existe soit au moins une jonction ITR tête-à-tête ou des sites de reconnaissance de recombinases, disposés de manière à ce que la recombinaison spécifique aux sites entre les sites de reconnaissance de recombinases dans les plasmides séparés mène à la génération hautement efficace d'un ADN viral infectieux dans les cellules hôtes cotransférées manipulées pour exprimer une recombinase spécifique au site, soit les deux. Grâce à l'efficacité et à la spécificité élevées de l'enzyme Cre, de l'enzyme FLP ou des deux, on peut aisément recombiner les plasmides manipulés en conséquence pour produire très efficacement un virus infectieux dans les cellules 293 cotransférées, et ce sans pour autant produire d'adénovirus de type sauvage ni de créer de problèmes liés à l'enlèvement de ce dernier. L'invention concerne aussi l'utilisation de recombinases aux côtés des Cre et des FLP et de sites de reconnaissance de recombinases outre que ceux lox ou frt ainsi que l'utilisation de cellules autres que les cellules 293, de même que des kits comprenant le système de vecteurs spécifiques au site et des compositions et procédés pour utiliser ces compositions en tant que vaccins ou dans des applications de thérapie génique.

Title: Procede de mise en sequences de molecules d'acide nucleique
Inventor: CRAIGHEAD HAROLD G
IPC: C12Q1/6869
Filed: 2000-05-18
Abstract: La présente invention a pour objet un procédé de mise en séquences d'une molécule d'acide nucléique cible comportant plusieurs bases. Dans son principe, l'ordre dans le temps des additions de bases pendant la réaction de polymérisation est mesurée sur une molécule d'acide nucléique, c'est-à-dire, l'activité d'une enzyme de polymérisation de l'acide nucléique sur la molécule d'acide nucléique matrice devant être mise en séquence est suivie en temps réel. La séquence est déduite en identifiant la base qui doit être incorporée dans le brin complémentaire en développement de l'acide nucléique cible par l'activité catalytique de l'enzyme de polymérisation de l'acide nucléique à chaque étape dans la séquence d'additions de bases. Une polymérase sur le complexe de molécule d'acide nucléique cible est prévue dans une position appropriée pour se déplacer le long de la molécule d'acide nucléique cible et prolonger l'amorce d'oligonucléotide dans un site actif. Plusieurs types marqués d'analogues de nucléotides sont prévus à proximité du site actif, chaque type d'analogue de nucléotide pouvant être distingué étant complémentaire d'un nucléotide différent dans la séquence d'acides nucléiques cible. Le brin d'acide nucléique en développement est prolongé en utilisant la polymérase pour ajouter un analogue de nucléotide au brin d'acide nucléique sur le site actif, où l'analogue de nucléotide que l'on ajoute est complémentaire du nucléotide de l'acide nucléique cible sur le site actif. L'analogue de nucléotide ajouté à l'amorce d'oligonucléotide lors de l'étape de polymérisation est identifié. Les étapes consistant à fournir des analogues de nucléotides marqués, à polymériser le brin d'acide nucléique en développement et à identifier l'analogue de nucléotide ajouté sont répétées de telle sorte que le brin d'acide nucléique est encore prolongé et la séquence de l'acide nucléique cible est déterminée.

Title: Remote monitoring method for gas turbines
Inventor: NOMURA MASUMI
IPC: G05B23/02
Filed: 2001-05-18
Abstract: The present invention is characterized in that the state of combustion oscillation in the combustor of a turbine of a plant such as a power plant is monitored from a remote monitoring center. To monitor combustion oscillation state, combustion oscillation data on the combustor is separated into two types of data; (1) the first data obtained on a real-time basis, and (2) the second data consisting of representative values within a predetermined period of time obtained from the first data. In the normal state, a low-speed communications mode is used to send the second data, which is monitored at the monitoring center. If an abnormal state is predicted as a result of monitoring the second data, the high-speed communications mode is used to send the first data, and more detailed combustion oscillation data is monitored at the monitoring center. When a critical state is predicted, an instruction is sent to the local site to switch the operation mode over to the low load operation mode, whenever required.

Title: Method for obtaining blood pressure data from optical sensor
Inventor: GHAEM SANJAR
IPC: A61B5/022
Filed: 2001-05-10
Abstract: An optical sensor (12) generates blood pressure data by obtaining two dimensional images of the surface of the patient's body, such as in the vicinity of the radial artery in the wrist area. Blood flow in the patient causes light to be reflected off a flexible reflective surface (14) applied against the patient with a hold down pressure, and the scattering of light is sensed with a two-dimensional array (17) of photo-detectors (18). The output of the photo-detectors during systolic and diastolic events is calibrated against known blood pressure measurements taken with a conventional air-cuff sphygmomanometer. Linear calibration relationships between output signal and blood pressure (FIG. 25) are obtained during calibration for some set of the photo-detectors. When blood pressure data is obtained from the patient, the linear calibration relationship between output signals and blood pressure is applied to the output signals from the set of photo-detectors, resulting in blood pressure data. The method provides for compensation for changes in hold down pressure and translation or rotation of the optical sensor relative to the patient. A preferred optical sensor arrangement for use in performing the method is also described.

As part of communicating data for the first active application set, the transceiver allocates the subchannels to the one or more applications in the first application set. When the transceiver dynamically transitions to communicating data for the second different application set, the transceiver reallocates the subchannels to the one or more applications in the second different application set. In one embodiment the transceiver modifies the data rates of subchannels in the Bit Allocation Table according to the transmission requirements of the application whose data is being transmitted on the particular subchannel. In another embodiment, the transceiver is capable of dynamically switching from transmitting data for an Internet access application to transmitting data for a voice telephony application in addition to the Internet access application. In a further embodiment, the ABCD voice telephony signaling bits can be transmitted with either the data from the Internet access application or the data from the voice telephony application.
