Abstract: This invention relates in general to a portable electronic apparatus comprising in the same microchip a digital processor with cryptography means a large capacity flash memory and a digital signal processor (FIG. 1) which is entirely embedded into a smart card. This said portable electronic apparatus comprises a digital processor (1) linked directly (17) to a large capacity flash memory (2), this said memory (2) linked directly to a digital signal processor (DSP) (3). This said portable electronic apparatus comprises a direct link (19) between the said digital processor (1) and the said digital signal processor (3). This said portable electronic apparatus comprises a signal switch (4) driven by a signal (11) which, according to its value, establishes a contact between the numerical signals (13, 14) with the contacts (10, 12), or a contact between the analog signals (15, 16) with the contacts (10, 12).

Abstract: The invention relates to a muscular dystrophy (MD) probe comprising a substantially purified single-stranded nucleic acid sequence capable of hybridizing to a region of DNA on a human X chromosome between the deletion break point at Xp21.3 and the translocation break point at X;11. The invention also relates to a 14 kb cDNA corresponding to the complete MD gene and probes produced therefrom useful in genetic methods of diagnosis of MD. Furthermore, the invention relates to the polypeptide, dystrophin, which corresponds to the MD gene product, and antibodies thereto that are useful in a variety of methods for immunodiagnosis of MD.
