Use of an association of lactobacilli for preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for treatment of vaginosis and vaginitis. Said bacteria association comprises the Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus salivarius subs. salicinius species, possibly in combination with one or more species selected from Lactobacillus salivarius subs. salivarius, Lactobacillus jensenii, Lactobacillus catenaforme,...

Weed control compound-resistant plants are produced by introducing a gene encoding a protein having the following characteristics (a) to (c): (a) having a specific affinity for a substance which is concerned with the weed control activity of a weed control compound, (b) having substantially no capability of modifying a substance for which said protein has a specific affinity, and (c) being substan...

A system and method provide sophisticated analysis of program viewership by executing interactive applications that generate responses describing the viewers' behavior. A broadcast server maintains a database of interactive applications each preferably associated with a program that will be broadcast. The interactive applications preferably include monitoring interactive applications that are conf...

A system and method provide a generalized reminder system in an interactive broadcast environment, that enables a viewer to quickly establish reminders for both broadcast events and non-broadcast events, and have such reminders displayed at an appropriate future time. The system includes a broadcast that broadcasts programs, such as television programs and commercial advertisements, and interactiv...

A system and method allow for the periodic re-configuring of broadcast receivers to control their storage of responses to interactive applications during a polling period. A broadcast server maintains a database of interactive applications each preferably associated with a program that will be broadcast. When the program is broadcast, an interactive application is inserted into the broadcast feed ...

An L2 integrated access (L2IA) system is contructed from: L2IA subscribers for supporting communications between user terminals using various communication media, each L2IA subscriber having an L2IA identifier for uniquely identifying each L2IA subscriber within the L2 integrated access system and a terminal ID for uniquely identifying each L2IA subscriber within each communication medium associat...

A device for relative movement of two elements (1, 2) comprises three link arrangements (A, B, C) and drives (3, 4, 5) for these arrangements. The link arrangements have forearm and upper arm components hinged to the upper arm components and to the second element respectively.

In the present publication, a bullet protection is disclosed for a background embankment comprising a water insulation 2, a protective layer 3, a drainage ditch 4, a damping layer 5 and a checkpoint for filtered water. The water insulation 2 carries water which has been filtered through the construction to the drainage ditch 4 from where it is carried to a well serving as a checkpoint. Above the w...

A fault indicator for detecting the occurrence of a fault current in a monitored conductor includes a rotatably mounted indicator flag. The flag is positioned in either a reset indicating or a fault indicating state by a magnetic pole piece, which is magnetized in one magnetic direction or the other by momentary application of a current in one direction or the other to an actuator winding on the p...

Method for shielding against dangerous microwave radiation during drying of a surface of a water damaged building part by one or more mobile unit(s) emitting microwave radiation against the surface that is being dried, which method comprises installing a temporary, easily applied and removed, metal foil as a partially covering of the surface to be dried so that microwave radiation can be reflected...

A method and a system for routing data calls in which an incoming data call having a destination number is received. The data call is routed to a first destination over a circuit-switched telecommunications network based on the destination number for the data call. Transaction information is then sent to the first destination. Alternatively, the incoming data call is received at an input port. The...

Uniform and concentrated radio broadcast signals are obtained employing an antenna structure which uses separate antenna conductors on opposite sides of a radio reception area. The antenna conductors perform similarly to the plates of a capacitor. Highly efficient antenna performance results. In a preferred embodiment wherein the antennas are used for radio testing inside a vehicle assembly plant,...

To provide a hydrogen absorbing alloy having a BCC (body-centered cubic structure) as a crystal structure, and particularly a hydrogen-absorbing alloy for a nickel-hydride cell having excellent discharge capacity and durability (cycle characteristics), said hydrogen-absorbing alloy having a composition expressed by the general formula Ti(100-a-b-c-d) CraVbNicXd, where X is at least one member sele...

Fuel composition which combusts instantaneously, comprising from 40 to 95% by weight of an instantaneously combusting fossil fuel and from 60 to 5% by weight of a non-fossil solid fuel chosen from the group comprising urban solid waste, elastomeric and non-elastomeric polymer materials and mixtures thereof, this fuel being suitably treated so as to be instantaneously combustible. Method and plant ...
