Title: Macrophage-derived inflammatory mediator (mip-2)
Inventor: WOLPE STEPHEN D
IPC: C12P21/00
Filed: 1989-09-01
Granted: 1992-05-21
Abstract: An inflammatory cytokine is disclosed which has been isolated from cells that have been incubated with a stimulator material. The inflammatory cytokine comprises a protein that is capable of binding to heparin, inducing localized inflammation characterized by polymorphonuclear cell infiltration when administered subcutaneously and having potent in vitro chemotactic activity while inducing little or no in vitro chemokinesis in polymorphonuclear cells, while lacking the ability to suppress the activity of the anabolic enzyme lipoprotein lipase, cause the cytotoxicity of cachectin/TNF-sensitive cells, stimulate the blastogenesis of endotoxin-resistant C3H/HeJ thymocytes, or induce the production of cachectin/TNF by primary thioglycollate-elicited mouse macrophage cells. A particular inflammatory cytokine has been isolated and its cDNA has been sequenced. The sequence predicts a cDNA of 74 amino acids in length and a molecular weight of 7,908. Diagnostic and therapeutic utilities are proposed, and testing procedures, materials in kit form, recombinant materials and procedures, and pharmaceutical compositions are likewise set forth. <IMAGE>

Title: Container and cap to be childproof or non-childproof
Inventor: DEJONGE ANTONIA R
IPC: B65D50/04
Filed: 1989-11-07
Granted: 1992-09-24
Abstract: The present invention involves a container (1) and cap which is generally childproof and may be rendered non-childproof permanently. The invention involves a container (1) having a cylindrical neck (3) at the top and threads (5) molded about the exterior of the neck as well as an inner cap (7) and outer cap (21). The inner cap (7) has a top (9) and cylindrical side wall (11) with threads (13) molded on the inside of the side wall (11) so as to mate with the threads (5) of the container (1). The top (9) or side of the inner cap (7) has ratchet type segments (15) on its outside and the outer cap (21) has ratchet type segments (27, 29) on the inside of its top (23) or side (25). The outer cap (21) has a cylindrical side wall (25) and is usually freely rotatable about the inner cap (7) so as to be childproof. When in the childproof configuration as described, downward pressure is required by the user so as to engage the two ratchet type segments (15, 27, 29) and thereby engage the two caps (7, 21) to permit opening. Further, the outer cap (21) has an opening (37) in its side wall (25) at a level near the bottom of the side wall (11) of the inner cap (7) and also has integrally attached thereto a flexible connector (31) and stop (33). The flexible connector (31) and stop (33) are located so as to permit insertion of the stop (33) into the opening (37) so as to extend beyond the opening (37) and push up the inner cap (7) so as to permanently lock it into a position wherein the inner cap and outer cap ratchet type segments (15, 27, 29) are permanently engaged. This renders the cap permanently non-childproof.

Title: A method of and apparatus for transmitting data
Inventor: HERKERT HANS
IPC: H04Q9/00
Filed: 1985-10-03
Granted: 1988-11-24
Abstract: In a transmission network have a tree structure in which data is forwarded from the tree branches toward the trunk at periodic intervals, the data which is transmitted between the several network levels is reduced by deleting data corresponding to a predetermined information content corresponding to the most probable configuration of such data. The remaining data is divided into sub-sets and transmitted with an individual sub-address for each sub-set, and a control signal identifying the number of sub-sets which are transmitted, and an address identifying the sending station. Optionally, when more than half of the sub-sets contain information not corresponding to the predetermined information, the data blocks are transmitted without sub-addresses but with a control block which identifies a mode in which all sub-sets are transmitted without sub-addresses.

Title: Improved plastic bag
Inventor: DOBRESKI DAVID V
IPC: A44B19/16
Filed: 1997-10-22
Granted: 2000-04-13
Abstract: The present invention improves performance of the side and/or fin seals of plastic bags through the use of resins that have a narrow molecular weight distribution or polydispersity. The performance of the side seal and/or fin seal of a plastic bag is improved by using body panels which comprise a first resin, and optionally, a second resin. The first resin is preferably prepared in the presence of a single site catalyst. The first resin has a polydispersity of from about 1 to about 4, a melt index of from about 0.2 to about 20, and a melt flow ratio (I20/I2) of from about 12 to about 35. The use of such first resins results in side and fin seals which are stronger, tougher, and less likely to leak. The second resin is a polymer such as LDPE, LLDPE, or a blend thereof In body panels comprising both a first and a second resin, the first resin may be coextruded with LDPE or LLDPE as a thin layer of the body panel or the first resin may be blended with the LDPE and/or LLDPE.

Date Jul. 11, 1991.When dispensing carbonated beverages, particularly beer and draught stout, it is desirable to obtain a close-knit creamy head. This contributes to a creamy taste and adds considerably to the customer appeal. To obtain this effect when dispensing from a can (1) it includes a lid (2) having a secondary compartment (4) formed on it and a non-resealable closure (3) in communication with the secondary compartment. At least one orifice (5) extends between the secondary compartment (4) and the inside of the container (1), and a liquid (8) is held in the secondary compartment. The container is arranged so that on opening of the closure (3) the pressure in the secondary compartment (4) is reduced to atmospheric with the result that gas or liquid from the main body of the container (1) is jetted through the at least one orifice (5) into the liquid (8) in the secondary compartment (4) to generate a foam in the secondary compartment. Complete opening or removal of the closure (3) enables the contents of both the secondary compartment (4) and the remainder of the can (1) to be mixed and dispensed together so that the foam produced in the secondary compartment acts to seed the generation of small bubbles throughout the beverage (8) in the can (1).

Filed: 1998-07-01
Granted: 2001-09-06
Abstract: A rapid and simple method of isolating heat stable proteinase inhibitor proteins from plant tissues such as potato tubers is disclosed. The method comprises three steps. Proteins from potato tubers are extracted in an aqueous/alcohol extraction medium to form an alcohol extract. The alcohol extract is heated to a first temperature then cooled to a second temperature to form an insoluble precipitate phase containing debris and a soluble phase that contains the heat stable proteinase inhibitor proteins. The heat stable proteinase inhibitor proteins are precipitated from the soluble phase by dialysis against a suitable dialysis medium. The precipitated proteins may include a single inhibitor protein, or a mixture thereof.
