Abstract: The present invention relates to a PCR kit for improving detection of particular nucleic acid motifs and for increasing the reliability of the results obtained. More precisely, the invention proposes to use modified primers having particular characteristics making it possible, during electrophoresis treatment, to detect, on samples containing nucleic acids, the equivalent of a characteristic encoding of particular nucleic acid motifs, this encoding being such that it makes it possible to better detect the presence of these motifs. The invention also proposes a method for detecting nucleic acid motifs of interest (for example STRs, mini-STRs or VNTRs) using such primers. It advantageously finds—but is not limited to—application in the field of capillary electrophoresis.

Abstract: A mobile radio-telephone terminal includes a radio means activated by a chip card. The chip card includes a memory containing a subscriber identification word (PIN, IMSI) and is connected to an input of a comparator. The terminal comprises means for receiving the card connected to the radio means and the memory for inputting a particular identification word (PIN, PINUT), associated with the card and is connected to the other input of the comparator. The terminal comprises means for transcoding the input word (PINUT), to match it with the card, to control the activation of the radio means from the subscriber identification word.

Abstract: An antitheft method for a mobile telephone for a cellular network comprises: assigning a provisional identity number to the mobile telephone before a definitive identity number is assigned to the mobile telephone; counting the cumulative duration of operation as long as the definitive identity number has not been assigned; and disabling the operation of the mobile telephone when the cumulative duration of operation reaches a time limit.
