et al., 1989). To use the good patient-doctor relationship to its full extent, we introduced DNA diagnosis in accordance with the existing genetic profiles of each center, rather than administratively allocating certain diseases exclusively to certain centers. The project is funded by the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Higher Education, and the Academy of Sciences of the GDR. Genomic diagnosis is integrated into the general system of genetic counseling and is based on individual freedom of choice concerning its application and the termination of pregnancies. Abortion on request is legal in the GDR up to the 12th week of gestation. The present number of diagnoses performed is shown in Table 1.

The support of the Ministries of Health and Higher Education and of the Academy of Science of the GDR in the formation of the “Genomic Diagnosis” project is gratefully acknowledged. We thank all our colleagues in pediatrics, medical genetics, and obstetrics units throughout the country for their invaluable contributions to this project. We thank also Professor R. Williamson and Dr. Kay E. Davies for scientific collaboration and support over many years.

N2 - We designed and built a highly scalable incoherent Optical CDMA testbed for Lockheed Martin as a novel platform for testing different avionics applications. It enables users to communicate with each other at OC-24 including transfer of data at ∼1.25 Gbit/sec per user with raw BER of less than 10-12. The system architecture uses (3,11) fast wavelength-hopping, time-spreading prime codes with a chip size of 73 ps utilizing standard on-off-keyed picosecond optical pulses allocated in the time and wavelength domains. A novel design of optical encoders and decoders enables the realization of a secure connectivity approaching a so called "one-time-pad" security. The testbed is also designed to conduct eavesdropping studies among testbed users. This incoherent OCDMA approach is compatible with existing DWDM optical networks and uses offthe-shelf components.
