Title: Novel protein, its dna and use thereof
Inventor: NAKANISHI ATSUSHI
IPC: C12N15/12
Filed: 2002-11-01
Abstract: The present invention provides a novel protein which is useful in
preventing/treating pulmonary and breast diseases associated with pulmonary and
airway inflammation, a polynucleotide encoding the protein, a method of screening a
compound inhibiting the activity of the protein, a compound obtained by the
screening method, etc. 
     The protein and polynucleotide of the present invention are useful as
diagnostic markers for pulmonary and breast disease associated with pulmonary and
airway inflammation, rhinitis and the like. Inhibitors obtained by screening with
the use of the protein or the polynucleotide and a neutralizing antibody inhibiting the
activity of the protein are usable as agents for the prevention/treatment of, for
example, pulmonary and breast diseases associated with pulmonary and airway
inflammation such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, rhinitis and the like.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé ou un protocole de commande d'un réseau orienté connexion, comme par exemple les réseaux de transport à commutation automatique (ASTN G.807). Un protocole de ce type offre un ensemble de fonctions de commande servant à établir et à libérer les connexions dans le réseau de transport. A la différence des protocoles fondés sur les paquets LSP (paquets contenant les états des liens) tels que les protocoles ATM, PNNI ou MPLS, ce protocole est fondé sur une base de données de réseau entièrement partagée, dans laquelle chaque noeud conserve uniquement ses propres informations. Ce protocole permet de réduire dans une mesure importante les calculs incombant au noeud individuel.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for detecting removable particulates initially on a test surface or surface to be inspected.  The removable particles are transferred to a portion of a tacky surface (130)on a carrier by adhering and then removing the portion of the tacky surface (130)from the test surface.  The carrier is received by a positioning means (131) and passed through the field of view of a surface inspection means (100)guided by a controller (170).  Signals from the surface inspection means are combined with coordinates from the controller (170)to produce particle coordinates,  which indicate particulates initally on the test surface.  Particle coordinates on the tacky surface (130)measured before the tacky surface (130)is adhered and removed from the test surface can be compared with particle coordinates measured after the tacky surface (130)is adhered and removed from teh test surface.  Several test surfaces can be sequentially inspected using the same carrier by storing particle coordinates after each measurements andcomparing the      recent measurement with thecumulative previous measurements.  The tacky surface (130)and the associated particle coordiantes can be conveyed to other analytical instuments for subsequent analysis.

Abstract: A Look-ahead Contention Resolution ("LCR") technique

The LCR technique takes advantage of the existing
separation of data bursts and their burst header
packets ("BHPs") in time (offset or "τ"). Through
a look-ahead window ("LAW") W time units wide,
a network scheduler can process a group of BHPs prior
to the arrival of their respective bursts and gain a
collective knowledge of the state of the switch in the
futures, rather than processing a single slot τ time units
in the future.

Abstract: In a non-destructive method for determining the internal structure of a heat
conducting body (3), such as a cooling structure of a turbine blade (3), a flow
medium is passed through the internal structure and the resultant thermal image
on an external surface (8) of the body (3) is registered using a pixelised thermal
image detector (7). Heat transfer coefficients and wall thicknesses of the internal
structure are determined by means of a 1-,2-, or 3-dimensional inverse method
that includes the numerical modelling of the surface temperatures using initial
values for heat transfer coefficients and wall thicknesses and an optimisation of
the values using an iteration method. In a special variant of the method, the
spatial geometry of the internal structure of the body is determined by means of
the same inverse method and a geometry model that is optimised by iteration. No
prior knowledge of the internal geometry is required.
