Abstract: A frozen dessert dispensing apparatus is provided with a metering chamber having a predetermined volume into which a frozen dessert product is issued at a uniform constant rate from a bulk source.  The time period required to fill the chamber volume determines a characteristic viscosity valve of the dessert product which is advantageously used to time the flow of additional frozen dessert product from the source into and through the chamber to a selected point.  The total time required to dispense a desired volume is based upon the viscosity measurement.  A reciprocating piston arrangement provides gating of the frozen dessert product from the bulk source when in a first position and further acts to extrude frozen dessert product from the metering chamber when set in motion under the command of a controller.  The piston arrangement includes a compressible plunger portion which deforms as necessary to prevent accidents or other mishaps from occurring in pinch-off regions of the apparatus.

Abstract: A class of mutant forms of p53 protein, such as His273 and Lys285, which are def ective in conversion from the latent to the activated state by casein kinase II, but with the ability to be activated for specific DNA binding by the action of ligands such as monoclonal antibody PAb421 and heat shock protein DnaK. Activation of these mutants, which are found at high levels in certain types of tumour, can potentially lead to selective growth arrest and induction of apoptosis in the tumor cells. p 53 can be constitutively activated also by deletion of the C-terminal 30 amino acids. p53 activated in this way, or by ligand binding, can be administered for the purposes of tumour or cell growth suppression.

Abstract: A hollow fiber membrane ("fiber") comprises a tubular macroporous support (31) coated on its outer surface with a thin tubular asymmetric semipermeable film (33) of polymer. The film, by itself, is non-self-supporting. The support (31) itself is so flexible (flaccid) that it does not have a circular cross section and collapses with finger pressure. Such a tube of knitted or woven braid no greater than 2.5 mm o.d., having interstitial voids which are nonuniformly shaped by the "ends" which are braided, is coated with a "dope" of polymer, then coagulated in a bath to form the film. Yet, after coating, the braided membrane can withstand up to 1500 psig in hydraulic compression forces before a straight-line relationship between flux and pressure begins to flatten out. The voids are relatively much larger than pores in the film. These voids are small enough to inhibit substantial penetration of the dope which lies superficially supported on the upper portion of the braid. Viewed in an elevational cross-sectional view looking down the longitudinal axis of the dopecoated braid. Viewed dope extends over less than 33 % of the outer portion of the braid's cross-sectional area. This thin coating of dope is made possible by a unique coating nozzle having sequential rounding and sizing orifices through which the braid is advanced by pulling it without unduly distorting the shapes of the voids in the braid. The shapes and sizes of the braid are thus retained except that the braid is distended into an essentially circular shape because of the tensile forces exerted by the coagulating dope. Hollow fiber membranes made as disclosed herein are used to make fluid-fluid separations, the braid and film being tailored to the purpose at hand.

Title: Method for selecting high-expressing host cells
Inventor: CROWLEY CRAIG W
IPC: C12R1/91
Filed: 1995-07-28
Granted: 2008-01-15
Abstract: A method for selecting recombinant host cells expressing high levels of a desired protein is described. This method utilizes eukaryotic host cells harboring a DNA construct comprising a selectable gene (preferabl y an amplifiable gene) and a product gene provided 3' to the selectable gene. The selectable gene is positioned within an intron defined by a splice donor site and a splice acceptor site and the selectable gene and product gene are under the transcriptional control of a single transcriptional regulatory region. The splice donor site is generally an efficient splice donor site and thereby regulates expression of the product gene using the transcriptional regulatory region. The transfected cells are cultured so as to express the gene encoding the product in a selective medium comprising an amplifying agent for sufficient time to allow amplification to occur, whereupon either the desired product is recovered or cells having multiple copies of the product gene are identified.

Filed: 1997-01-22
Granted: 2000-11-28
Abstract: Printing members resistant to handling damage include a porous compressible layer that deforms in response to applied forces, inhibiting overlying layers from tearing or scratching. One type of construction involves ablation-type printing members, wherein pulses from a heat source ablate one or more layers to expose (or facilitate exposure of by cleaning) an underlying layer. A second type of construction utilizes traditional photoexposure-type layers that harden or increase adhesion to adjacent layers in response to actinic radiation. The compressible layer is typically located below the radiation-responsive or imaging layer, but may also serve as that layer.
