Abstract: Motor-driven reversible shutter of the type composed of a plurality of slats coupled to one another by means of an end hook and channel and which moves along a channel of a labyrinthine trajectory formed on the inner face of respective side plates mounted in correspondence with the ends of the shutter box, each slat end including a part with lateral spaced-apart appendices for the purpose of inserting therebetween the teeth of pinions mounted in specific points along the labyrinthine trajectory channel and designed to draw the slats which, on moving along said labyrinthine trajectory reveal one face while moving in one direction and the opposite while moving in the other direction, thus providing the shutter with its reversible character. A tubular axis of a polygonal configuration is installed between both side plates, rotating when driven by an internal motor, characteristic in that, integral to the ends of said tubular axis, respective crowns are fitted which engage and drive pinions on whose axes are mounted the pinions drawing on the slats, the crowns and the meshing pinions being located on the external face of the side plates; three micro-switches being provided for deactivating and stopping the drive motor in the extreme open and closed positions, two located at the entry of the labyrinthine trajectory channel and one at the exit of the labyrinthine trajectory channel. The end walls of the shutter box include attachment means for a special part of a generally prismatic shape which constitutes, at the lower portion of each side, the means of associating the side walls along which the shutter advances before and after the labyrinthine trajectory, said part furthermore constituting a means of securing the plates fitted with the labyrinthine trajectories; said side walls also being provided at their inner face with pairs of profiles, one upper and one lower, wherein the channels are formed which permit the single-block assembly formed by the shutter, the labyrinthine trajectory side plates, the driving axis and the corresponding transmission and drawing means to be slidingly mounted inside the box. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of molecular biology and immunology. In particular it relates to vaccines and methods for providing vaccines which elicit immune responses when administered to a mammal, in particular a human. The preferred elicited immune response is a T cell response, elicited by peptide T cell epitopes. These vaccines find their application in many fields ranging from cancer treatments to treatments of prophylaxis of infectious diseases such as Aids. The present invention provides novel methods for selecting the peptide sequences from an intact antigen which will lead to a proper (T cell) immune response upon administration in a suitable vehicle. The epitopes and vaccines are, of course, also part of the present invention.

Abstract: A fastener 10 for securing corrugated sheeting 40 to a structural support 42 comprises a spacer 12, a washer 14 and a fixing 16, the spacer 12 comprising a body in the form of an axially collapsible cylindrical sleeve 18. The sleeve 18 has a slit along its length and is castellated around its upper and lower ends to form teeth 22 which are separated by intervening notches 23. As the fixing 16 is tightened it engages with the upper end of the spacer 12. As the fixing 16 is tightened further the spacer 12 partially collapses to prevent stripping of the thread in the supporting structure 42. This allows for the reaction time of the operator of the tightening means by letting the fixing 16 move into the supporting structure 42 while the fixing 16 is decelerating. The castellations at the lower end of the spacer also act as cutting teeth 22 to cut through the corrugated sheeting.

Abstract: A visual display device (10) coupled to a processor (22), a memory (16, 18) and a counter (14) produces procession of displayed alphanumeric characters until a consecutive sequence of at least four muneric or punctuation characters is displayed, at which time the procession stops prior to any character of the at least four consecutive numeric or punctuation characters processes off a viewable portion of a visual display (12). The procession remains stopped until a user of the visual display device intervenes to cause resumption of procession. The visual display device gradually slows the rate of procession when words of at least five consecutive alphanumeric characters are displayed, and gradually increases the rate of procession when words of at least five consecutive alphanumeric characters are no longer displayed. A selective call receiver (11) includes a receiver (23) and the visual display device (10) to display received wireless messages.

Abstract: Modified Protein C molecules have been made which substitute the gamma carboxylglutamic acid (Gla) region of another Vitamin K dependent protein, most preferably prothrombin, for the native region of the Protein C. A modified protein C molecules has been made which substitutes the gamma carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) region with the corresponding region of prothrombin. The modified or chimeric protein C has advantages over the wild-type protein C since it is less sensitive to inhibition by some natural antibody inhibitors of protein C (which would otherwise decrease the ability of the protein C to act as an anticoagulant) and which do not need the same cofactors or same amounts of cofactors, and can therefore be effective in patients with lowered levels of the cofactors such as protein S or the lipids present in elevated levels in platelets such as phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE). The anticoagulant activity of the chimera was tested in normal and factor V Leiden plasma. The chimera was approximately ten times more effective in inhibiting factor V Leiden plasma clotting.
