Abstract: Signaling means adapted for use on a vehicle, the signaling means being activated in response to a signal from a sensing means, the sensing means being adapted to sense movement of the brake operating part of the driver in a direction likely to result in the brakes associated with that vehicle being applied, such as, for example, movement of the driver's foot from the accelerator pedal towards the brake pedal. The signaling means may comprise a high mounted stop lamp or other light emitting source visible to drivers of following vehicles. The invention enables drivers of such following vehicles to obtain advance warning of potential hazardous situations arising through imminent deceleration of the vehicle in front.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the removal of lactide from polylactide and recovery of lactide from a lactide-containing gas by cooling the hot lactide-containing gas, wherein a polymer melt traveling through a nozzle forms thin threads the surface area of which is so large that in a normal-pressure or vacuum evaporator the lactide evaporates from the polymer rapidly into a hot carrier-gas flow and the polymer settles under gravity onto a collecting device. A hot lactide-containing gas is cooled rapidly to a temperature below 100° C., whereupon the lactide crystallizes from gas, forming lactide crystals, which are separated from the gas.

Abstract: An aqueous adjuvant composition comprising an attenuated lipid A derivative and a surfactant or surfactants enhances the immunological response in a warm blooded animal to a protein antigen. Attenuated lipid A derivatives useful according to the subject invention include monophosphoryl lipid A and 3-O-deacylated monophosphoryl lipid A. A surfactant or mixtures of surfactants are dissolved in a solvant. 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a preferred surfactant. The dissolved surfactant is added to an attenuated lipid A derivative to obtain a mixture. The molar ratio of attenuated lipid A derivative to surfactant in the mixture is about 4:1. The solvent is evaporated and water is added to the resulting film. The suspension is sonicated in a 60  DEG C water bath until it becomes clear. Animals administered the adjuvant formulation exhibited increased antibody responses to a given antigen as well as displayed enhanced lymphocyte proliferative and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses. Intranasal administration of the aqueous adjuvant composition and an antigen stimulates the production of serum and mucosal secreted IgA.

The microprocessor (30) stores a range of pressure valves across a range of temperatures which are indicative of optimum combustion conditions. Having selected the reference valves appropriate for the temperature sensed, microprocessor (30) compares them with P1 and P2 and produces a measured response in dependence upon the results of the comparison, and ranging from further monitoring (slight deviation between stored and sensed valves) to emergency shutdown (major deviation between stored and sensed valves).

Abstract: The anti-19P2 ligand monoclonal antibodies of the invention (in particular P2L-1Ca) have very high binding ability and can neutralize the arachidonic acid metabolite releasing activity of the 19P2 ligand. Therefore, they can be used, among others, as diagnostic, prophylactic and/or therapeutic agents for various diseases caused by some or other abnormality in the pituitary function modulating activity (e.g. prolactin secretion promoting activity), central nervous system modulating activity and pancreatic function modulating activity, among others, supposedly possessed by the 19P2 ligand.  The immunoassay method using the monoclonal antibodies of the invention by the sandwich technique (in particular the sandwich technique using the monoclonal antibody and an antibody recognizing an intermediate portion of the 19P2 ligand) can assay the 19P2 ligand or a derivative thereof specifically and with high sensitivity. This assay method can be used in elucidating the physiological functions of the 19P2 ligand or a derivative thereof.
