  • Publication number: 20020155112
    Abstract: DNA sequences coding for a TNF-binding protein and for the TNF receptor of which this protein constitutes the soluble domain. The DNA sequences can be used for preparing recombinant DNA molecules in order to produce TNF-binding protein and TNF receptor. Recombinant TNF-binding protein is used in pharmaceutical preparations for treating indications in which TNF has a harmful effect. With the aid of the TNF receptor or fragments thereof or with the aid of suitable host organisms transformed with recombinant DNA molecules containing the DNA which codes for the TNF receptor or fragments or modifications thereof, it is possible to investigate substances for their interaction with the TNF receptor and/or for their effect on the biological activity of TNF.

  • Patent number: 4730189
    Abstract: A pulse Doppler radar system with variable pulse repetition frequency has a coherent integrator to which the reflected pulses are supplied in order to avoid deterioration of the indication of a moving target given over-the-horizon reception. The coherent integrator subjects the reflected pulses to a simplified vectorial addition by the use of a number of filters. A precondition for the modified coherent integration is a staggering of the pulse repetition periods such that their sums formed over successive pulse repetition periods are constant, and a phase reference for the signal amplitudes is obtained such that the phase difference is equal to zero after every second pulse repetition.
