Abstract: A coupling for attachment to the end portion of a pipe having a circumferential shoulder in such end portion includes a coupling body which receives the end portion of the pipe therein and a set of jaw members which, after the end portion of the pipe is received in the coupling body, move to a closed position to engage the shoulder so that the coupling is locked onto the end of the pipe and the pipe cannot be pulled from the coupling because the jaw members acting against the shoulder prevent such movement. The coupling can be provided with sets of jaw members at each end to couple together two pipes with end portion shoulders or have jaw members at one end and threads, flanges, or other types of connectors at the other end. Valves or other fittings may be incorporated into the coupling between the ends of pipes being coupled.

Abstract: An array of electron beam tubes is mounted on a conductive plate for projecting stripe-like electron beams through air onto a substrate beneath the plate. The tubes each have a narrow beam window formed by a very thin low-Z film layer, supported by silicon and sealing the tube against ambient pressure. Such windows produce low beam attenuation and allow low extraction voltages to be used, thereby reducing beam energy which would otherwise be lost by penetration through a surface to be treated. The stripe-like output electron beam segments may be formed into a linear beam track so that the entire widthwise extent of a surface, such as a sheet or web, may be treated by electron beam irradiation or the beam segments may be formed into any desired composite beam pattern. In another embodiment the stripe-like output beam segments may be arranged in an array to treat a circular circumferential surface, such as a cable.

Date Mar. 30, 1995An electrochemical actuator forms a sealed gas space inside of which there are a plurality of cells. Each cell has a solid electrode made from an electrochemically reversibly oxidizable material and a counter electrode. By applying a reversible direct current, an electrochemical reaction is initiated which results in a pressure increase or decrease in the gas space that can be used for generating movement. The manufacture of the actuator is simplified and manufacturing costs are lowered by providing a stackable spacer frame for each cell which is constructed of a material that is a relatively good heat conductor and an electric isolator. The rim of a metallic cell cup is attached to the spacer frame and a matrix soaked with an electrolyte is placed inside the cup. Each cell further has a solid electrode, a separator and a counter electrode which, together with the spacer frame, are assembled into a cell. When the cells are stacked, the counter electrode of each cell is placed against the cell cup of the adjoining cell.

Abstract: This invention is directed toward non-pathogenic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) strains containing deletions in the nef gene and U3 region of the long terminal repeat (LTR). A blood donor infected with HIV-1 and a cohort of six blood or blood product recipients infected from this donor were identified. These individuals, who remained free of HIV-1-related disease with stable and normal CD4+ lymphocyte counts 10 to 14 years after infection, were termed long-term nonprogressors (LTNPs). The molecular characterization of HIV-1 sequences obtained from either virus isolates or patient peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of LTNPs identified similar deletions in the nef gene and in the region of overlap of nef and the U3 region of the LTR. Full-length sequencing of one isolate genome and amplification of selected HIV-1 genome regions from other cohort members revealed no other abnormalities of obvious functional significance. These deletions corresponded to amino acids 166-206, or nucleotides 9281 to 9437, of the HIV-1NL43 nef/LTR region. These data illustrate the importance of nef or the U3 region of the LTR in determining the pathogenicity of HIV-1. These non-pathogenic strains should prove useful, inter alia, in the development of HIV-1-specific diagnostic reagents.
