Granted: 2014-12-09
Abstract: Methods and agents for suppressing expression of a mutant allele of a gene and providing a replacement nucleic acid are provided. The methods of the invention provide suppression effectors such as, for example, antisense nucleic acids, ribozymes, or RNAi, that bind to the gene or its RNA. The invention further provides for the introduction of a replacement nucleic acid with modified sequences such that the replacement nucleic acid is protected from suppression by the suppression effector. The replacement nucleic acid is modified at degenerate wobble positions in the target region of the suppression effector and thereby is not suppressed by the suppression effector. In addition, by altering wobble positions, the replacement nucleic acid can still encode a wild type gene product. The invention has the advantage that the same suppression strategy could be used to suppress, in principle, many mutations in a gene. Also disclosed is a transgenic mouse that expresses human rhodopsin (modified replacement gene) and a transgenic mouse that expresses a suppression effector targeting rhodopsin. Also disclosed in intraocular administration of siRNA.

Abstract: The controller for a power converter of the present invention: calculates the range number in which the voltage command vector for a multi-level converter is present; rotates the voltage command vector through a specified angle; performs coordinate transformation of that vector to a vector in an oblique coordinate system which takes the vector in the a axis direction and a vector which has been rotated through a specified angle anti-clockwise from the a axis as two unit vectors; splits the converter output-enabled portion of the vector diagram of the -30 degrees ~ +30 degrees range of the spatial vector diagram in which output vector is positioned, which has undergone oblique coordinate transformation, into square-shape patterns so that the output vector is positioned in the upper left / the lower right / both the lower left and upper right of each square-shape pattern; splits any square-shape pattern which holds the output vector in both its lower left and its upper right into two triangular domains by a segment which joins the upper left vertex and the lower right vertex; judges in which square-shape pattern / triangular domain in the domain-split oblique coordinate system diagram the voltage command vector which has undergone oblique coordinate transformation is present; and selects, rotates through a specified angle and calculates the output vector which corresponds to that domain.

Granted: 2011-02-01
Abstract: A method and apparatus utilizing historical network information for mitigating excessive network updates when performing channel selection between a serving base transceiver station and an adjacent base transceiver station when determined channel selection would result in either a Location Area Update (LAU) or a Routing Area Update (RAU) is presented. If a network update, either LAU or RAU, is the first occurrence, network identification information for the LA or RA is stored and an incremental value indicating occurrence is set; else in the case occurrence is not the first, the incremental value is incremented. A first margin value is then selected if the incremented value does not meet or exceed a predetermined value, or a second margin value is selected if the incremented value does meet or exceed a predetermined value. The signal level of the adjacent base transceiver station is then compared to the reference signal level of the serving base transceiver station plus the selected margin value in order to determine channel selection.

Abstract: The various designs of capacitive or inductive coupling/decoupling fitted on cables in a medium voltage network are known, the inductive coupling circuits constantly inducing current in the sheath of the electric cable. The invention aims at obtaining ranges of capacitive coupling/decoupling for an inductive coupling circuit. Therefore, an inductive coupling unit comprising a ring enclosing the sheathed electric cable and a coil, coupled to said ring by induction and connected to a transmission and reception device, is designed such that, upon transmission the current of the message signal is directly induced in the conductor and, upon reception, only the conductor current is evaluated. In a first embodiment, a by-pass, located downstream of the inductive coupling unit and upstream of the fixed surface, is connected to the sheath and to the ground or to the compensation potential. In a second embodiment, a by-pass connected to the sheath and to the ground or to the compensating potential has its conduction path reverted by the ring core. The invention concerns telecommunication systems in current distribution electrical networks.

Granted: 2013-05-21
Abstract: Devices that couple to high voltage transmission lines obtain power themselves using the body capacitance of an element of the devices. The devices generate a comparatively lower voltage from the current flowing between the high voltage line and the element of the device that generates the body capacitance. The devices can be used to operate sensors that monitor the transmission lines or parameters of the power distribution system, such as current, line temperature, vibration, and the like. The devices can also be used as indicators, such as aircraft warning lights, information signs, etc. In addition, the devices can operate as RF transmission/reception or repeater devices, radar devices, mesh networking nodes, video/audio surveillance, sound emitting devices for scaring animals, drones that traverse the power line, etc. Because the devices operate in response to line voltage rather than current, the devices are reliable even in low current conditions.

Abstract: The rack retains plates, cups and all types of non-standard kitchenware for drying, washing, and storing. The rack has two mesh shelves, one at a certain distance below the other.  Horizontally placed wires of the top shelf create a flat surface for placing objects of any shape on top. At the same time, being at a uniform distance apart, the wires create slots for placing objects like plates or lids vertically. The bottom mesh shelf, which is narrower than the top shelf, serves as a stopper for vertically placed objects, and prevents them from sliding through the rack. Mesh structure design allows water to go through freely and provides natural ventilation for drying.
