Granted: 1999-09-23
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of screening substances for reduced ability to bind to a specified target molecule. The method involves the display of a first member of a specific binding pair ("sbp") on the surface of a viral display package, and contacting the viral display package with a target cell expressing a receptor molecule and the second member of the sbp in such a way that viral display packages displaying first members of the sbp which have been altered so as to inhibit binding to the second member of the sbp tend to infect target cells more successfully than those display packages displaying first members of the sbp which have unaltered binding affinity for the second member of the sbp. Also disclosed is a kit for use in performing the method of the invention.

Filed: 1998-08-28
Granted: 2002-07-18
Abstract: A read-only memory is made electrically addressable over a passive conductor matrix, wherein at least a portion of the volume between intersection of two conductors (2;4) in the matrix defines a memory cell (5) in the read-only memory. Data are stored as impedance values in the memory cells. The memory cells (5) comprise either an isolating material (6) which provides high impedance or one or more inorganic or organic semiconductors (9), preferably with an anisotropic conducting property. The semiconductor material (9) forms a diode junction at the interface to a metallic conductor (2;4) in the matrix. By suitable arrangement of respectively the isolating material (6) and semiconductor material (9) in the memory cells these may be given a determined impedance value which may be read electrically and corresponds to logical values in a binary or multi-valued code. The read-only memory device may be realized either as planar or also volumetrically by stacking several read-only memories (ROM) above each other and connecting them with the substrate (1) via addressing buses (14). Such read-only memory devices may be implemented on memory cards with standard card interfaces and used for storage of source information.

Title: Hydraulic switch for gear of vehicle - has holes connecting pressure line to friction coupling being disengaged
IPC: F16H61/02
Filed: 1969-12-20
