Abstract: The presence information of a presentity within a presence service includes a first presence attribute and a second presence attribute. The first presence attribute is published within the presence service only if at least one watcher within the presence service has subscribed to it, while the second presence attribute is published within the presence service regardless of whether any watcher has subscribed to it. A user interface may be provided to configure the publishing of presence information on an attribute-by-attribute basis. An exemplary user interface includes, for each presence attribute comprising the presence information, a user interface control permitting selection of the publication mechanism for that presence attribute. The control has a plurality of options including a first option for causing the presence attribute to be published only if at least one watcher has subscribed to it and a second option for causing the presence attribute to be published regardless of whether any watcher has subscribed to it.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, novel gene deletions and translocations involving chromosome 2 resulting in fusion proteins combining part of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) kinase with part of a secondary protein have now been identified in human solid tumors, e.g. non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Secondary proteins include Echinoderm Microtubule- Associated Protein-Like 4 (EML-4) and TRK- Fusion Gene (TFG). The EML4-ALK fusion protein, which retains ALK tyrosine kinase activity, was confirmed to drive the proliferation and survival of NSCLC characterized by this mutation. The invention therefore provides, in part, isolated polynucleotides and vectors encoding the disclosed mutant ALK kinase polypeptides, probes for detecting it, isolated mutant polypeptides, recombinant polypeptides, and reagents for detecting the fusion and truncated polypeptides. The disclosed identification of this new fusion protein enables new methods for determining the presence of these mutant ALK kinase polypeptides in a biological sample, methods for screening for compounds that inhibit the proteins, and methods for inhibiting the progression of a cancer characterized by the mutant polynucleotides or polypeptides, which are also provided by the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to devices having periodic refractive index modulation structures and fabrication methods for the devices using a laser means. By focusing a pulsed laser beam into a transparent material substrate, a path of laser modified volumes can be formed with modified refractive index compared with the unprocessed material. By selecting appropriate laser parameters and relative scan speed, the laser modified path defines an optical waveguide. Separation distance of the individual modified volumes define a periodic modification pattern along the waveguide path, so that the waveguide structures also exhibit grating responses, for example, as spectral filters, Bragg reflectors, grating couplers, grating sensors, or other devices. This method of direct laser fabrication enables one-step fabrication and integration of periodic or aperiodic refractive-index modulation devices together with optical waveguiding properties to enable low-cost, multifunctional I D, 2D or 3D optical circuit fabrication for simple and complex applications.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a peptide comprising at least 12 amino acid residues from the N-terminal end of gas-tric inhibitory polypeptide, or an analogue thereof, which are useful to prophylactically prevent, improve, or reverse the diminished cognitive function associated with these types of disorders, by increasing (or sustaining) the LTP of synaptic transmission. Moreover, sustaining LTP may find utility in the prophylaxis of neurological disease by delaying the onset of impaired cognitive processes, and could serve as a treatment, not only for the diminished cognitive function caused by neurodegeneration, but also for the dysfunctional cognitive processes associated with trauma or age. Additionally, the peptides and analogues of the present invention find are useful to improve the altered cognitive function associated with hyperexcitability-type disorders, by reducing the elevated level of LTP of synaptic transmission.
