Title: Polyester-flexible polymer block copolymers and mixtures thereof
Inventor: MCBAIN DOUGLAS S
IPC: D04H1/64
Filed: 1993-02-25
Abstract: ABSTRACT           A block copolymer of generally an AB, ABA, or A(BA)n structure, or mixtures thereof where the A block is an unsaturated polyester, the B block is a flexible polymer having a Tg of 0°C or lower, and n is 2 to 5. The various block components are generally first sepa-rately prepared as polymers with the flexible polymer generally having 1 or 2 functional end groups such as an amine group, a carboxyl group, or a hydroxyl group with the  later being preferred.   Alternatively,  for  low molecular weight unsaturated polyester blocks, the block can be made in situ. The preferred reaction route is to react a mono or dihydroxy  terminated flexible polymer with a diisocyanate which subsequently can be readily reacted with the polyester.  The block copolymers can be utilized as toughening agents.  They furthermore can be utilized to coat a fiber structure such as individual fibers, a woven structure, or a nonwoven structure such as mats, rovings, bundles, and the like, with the coated fiber  structures  subsequently  incorporated  into  a polymeric matrix such as polyester.

Abstract: A SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING SHAFT LOAD PARAMETERS INCLUDING SHAFT WINDUP ANGLE PER UNIT LENGTH, TORQUE OUTPUT AND POWER OUTPUT IN A GENERALLY CYLINDRICAL ROTATING SHAFT                 Abstract of the Invention A system for determining shaft load parameters including shaft windup angle per unit length, torque output and power output in a generally cylindrical rotating shaft having an outer surface and a longitudinal axis extending through the center thereof includes a plurality of probes spaced apart from each other.  Each probe has a first end and a second end, the first end of each probe being in facing relationship with the rotating shaft.  A rigid frame commonly supports all of the probes at a predetermined distance from the outer surface of the shaft.  The frame is supported in such a manner that the frame may vibrate or displace relative to the rotating shaft essentially as a rigid body.  Targets on the outer surface of the rotating shaft are located for triggering a probe output response each time during shaft rotation that a target passes the first end of one of the probes.  A calculator calculates the torque induced shaft windup angle of the rotating shaft based in part on the probe trigger times and the spacing of the probes.

Patent CA-2116814-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TOBIA RONALD L
IPC: A61M16/20
Filed: 1994-03-02
Abstract: A  medical ventilator is provided for providing continuous, closed-loop control of the pressure of gas within a patient's  mouth  or  respiratory  tract  in accordance with any selected pressure input waveform. The medical ventilator comprises an adaptive, feedback controller which provides independent control of the inspiratory and expiratory branches of the ventilator, while  continuously  controlling  mouth  pressure.  The digital coefficients of the controller are updated to adjust for variations in the resistance of the patient's respiratory tract resulting from the magnitude of flow of inspiratory gas into the tract and patient-to-patient differences.  Pressure  in  the  expiratory  branch  is controlled by controlling, through a pressure-regulating valve,  the magnitude  of back pressure  applied  to  a diaphragm  valve.  A  venturi  provides  a  reference pressure for the pressure-regulating valve below that of the surrounding atmosphere to enable application  of a negative back pressure to the diaphragm valve.

Title: Method of inducing cell-mediated protective immunity against hiv using low doses of immunogens
Inventor: BENVENISTE RAOUL E
IPC: A61K39/21
Filed: 1994-05-27
Abstract: A method and composition is disclosed for inducing a protective immunity against HIV by inoculation with immunogens in low doses that are sufficient to induce a sustained cell-mediated response to HIV but below the amount necessary to induce an offsetting humoral response.  The immunogens available for use in this method include attenuated forms of the HIV virus, subunits of the HIV virus, inactivated HIV virus and subinfectious doses of live HIV virus, all delivered at low doses these immunogens can be prepared with suitable carriers, adjuvants or diluents and administered either intramuscularly, mucosally (e.g., orally), intravenously or subcutaneously.  The effectiveness of the initial dose of immunogen can be monitored for the presence of a sufficient cell-mediated response using a T-cell proliferation assay or an interleukin-2 assay and monitored for the lack of offsetting humoral response using commercially available ELISA assays for anti-HIV anibodies  Depending upon the results of the cell-mediated response assays, supplementary or "booster" inoculations may be appropriate.

Title: Toothbar release for harvester header reel

Abstract: TOOTHBAR RELEASE FOR HARVESTER HEADER REEL          Abstract of the Disclosure A mower conditioner header has a reel which includes a plurality of rotatably mounted toothbars each carrying teeth. The toothbars are controlled during rotation of the reel so that they rock to maintain the teeth at the desired attitude relative to the crop as it is swept across a cutterbar of the harvester to be cut and then on the nip of conditioner rolls. This control of the toothbars is done by toothbar guide arms fixed to and end of each toothbar, the arms each carrying a roller which is received in an upright D-shaped cam track carried by an adjacent one of opposite side structures of the frame of the header.  To permit at least one toothbar to be rotated so as to swing its associated teeth away from the vicinity of the cutterbar for permitting access for performing service on the cutterbar, the toothbar guide arm associated with this toothbar is made of inner and outer arm sections which are mounted for relative pivotal movement but which are held together for movement in unison by a selectively releasable latch pin.

Patent CA-2132028-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANSON JAMES H
IPC: A47J31/10
Filed: 1992-07-30
Abstract: A beverage brewing apparatus which employs a water control assembly, a moisture recovery assembly, an improved thermostatic and low water sensor configuration and an easily removable sprayhead.  The control assembly controllably regulates the flow of water from the fill basin into the reservoir using a valve which is interconnected with a lid covering a fill opening in the hood portion.  Water from the basin will not flow into the reservoir, and thus will not produce a brewed beverage, until the lid is closed by the user.  The moisture recovery assembly employs a baffle opening and a collection portion on a vent to return condensation which may accumulate on the vent to the fill basin.  A sleeve is positioned in the fill water opening in the hood portion to collect condensation and to reduce the surface area of the water which may be affected by air movements through the brewing apparatus.  The thermostatic and low water sensing configurations position the temperature sensors outside of the water heating reservoir to prevent the accumulation of mineral and other deposits thereon.  A portion of the wall behind which the sensors are positioned is thinned in order to more accurately read the corresponding temperatures.

Title: Immunoassays for anti-hcv antibodies using antigens with conformational epitopes
Inventor: CHIEN DAVID Y
IPC: G01N33/569
Filed: 1993-07-02
Abstract: Immunoassay methods utilizing HCV envelope antigens that contain conformational epitopes reactive with antibodies in serum from infected individuals are useful for screening and diagnosis. These antigens detect antibodies that are not detected by denaturated HCV envelope antigens. In addition, these HCV envelope antigens comprised of conformational epitopes are more immunologically reactive than a number of other HCV antigens. This is the first evidence that conformational epitopes may be involved in the immunologic response to HCV antigens.
