Abstract: In order to provide a flexible oxide superconducting cable which is reduced in AC loss, tape-shaped superconducting wires covered with a stabilizing metal are wound on a flexible former. The superconducting wires are preferably laid on the former at a bending strain of not more than 0.2%. In laying on the former, a number of tape-shaped superconducting wires are laid on a core member in a side-by-side manner, to form a first layer. A prescribed number of tape-shaped superconducting wires are laid on top of the first layer in a side-by-side manner, to form a second layer. The former may be made of a metal, plastic, reinforced plastic, polymer, or a composite and provides flexibility to the superconducting wires and the cable formed therewith. Methods of forming and terminating a triaxial superconductor are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides isolated DNA molecules comprising a DNA segment encoding novel human Kunitz-type inhibitors. Also provided are DNA constructs comprising a first DNA segment encoding a novel human Kunitz-type inhibitor wherein said first DNA segment is operably linked to additional DNA segments required for the expression for the first DNA segment, as well as host cells containing such DNA constructs and methods for producing proteins from the host cells.

Abstract: A system and method which allows for burst licensing, particularly for use in a circuit design and analysis system in which designers use tools to assist in characterizing and verifying the circuit. Burst licensing is used to provide licenses on an ‘as and when required’ basis to allow system users or customers to carry out massive parallelism of the simulation tasks when run from selected tools. When the system receives a request to start a task, the system checks-out a burst license for use in processing the task, and assigns the license to a particular CPU. The task is then performed at that CPU, and once completed the burst license is returned to the license pool.

Abstract: A QFP exposed pad package which includes leads exposed within the bottom surface of the package body of the package in addition to those gull-wing leads protruding from the sides of the package body. Those leads exposed within the bottom surface of the package body are created through the utilization of a standard leadframe with additional lead features that are electrically isolated subsequent to a molding process through the use of a partial saw method.

Abstract: There is provided a system and method for aggregating network resources among a plurality of mobile stations. The multiplexing network entity (104) includes a subscriber database (406) and a server (404) coupled to the subscriber database. The subscriber database (406) is capable of storing an identification, a access number, and a personal identification number (“PIN”) associated with a mobile station (106). The server (404) is capable of assigning the access number and the PIN to the mobile station (106) after detecting an initiation of provisioning proceedings (600). For the method, the initiation of the provisioning proceedings is detected (602). The access number and the PIN are then assigned to the mobile station (106). The multiplexing network entity (104) also includes a billing manager (500) that is capable comparing a first billing report (504) generated by a network operator and a second billing report (506) generated by a GE server.

Abstract: There is provided a system and method for aggregating network resources among a plurality of mobile stations. A multiplexing network entity (104) of a communications network (100) assigns a token on a per-call basis. The multiplexing network entity (104) includes a token management database (410) capable of storing tokens available for use by the mobile stations (106) and a server (404) capable of assigning an available token from the token management database. A token is assigned (808, 910) from a pool of tokens for a call if the token is available. Subsequently, after a call is completed, the token is released (834, 936) back to the pool of tokens.

Abstract: A soluble receptor that binds to IL-20 having two polypeptide subunits, IL-22R and IL-20RB. The two subunits are preferably linked together. In one embodiment one subunit is fused to the constant region of the light chain of an immunoglobulin, and the other subunit is fused to the constant region of the heavy chain of the immunoglobulin. The light chain and the heavy chain are connected via a disulfide bond.

Abstract: A data indicator is disclosed which comprises a non-volatile memory (26), control circuitry (24) by which data can be read from and written to the memory, a timer (28) and/or an event detector (30), means such as a terminal (20) for connection to an electrical supply of a host apparatus and an interface (32) through which data can be exchanged with the memory (26). In use, the event detector (30) detects when the host apparatus is switched on and in dependence on the detector output the control circuitry (24) maintains a cumulative history of host apparatus activation which is stored on the memory (26). The data indicator can store other data relating to the host apparatus, e.g. a service interval, and can supply this in conjunction with the actuation history, making it conveniently possible e.g. to establish whether the host apparatus requires servicing. (FIG. 4).
