Inventor: SEED BRIAN
IPC: A61K47/42
Filed: 1996-01-15
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of directing a cellular response in a mammal by expressing in a cell of the mammal a chimeric receptor which causes the cells to specifically recognize and destroy an infective agent, a cell infected with an infective agent, a tumor or cancerous cell, or an autoimmune-generated cell. The chimeric receptor includes an extracellular portion which is capable of specifically recognizing and binding the target cell or target infective agent, and (b) an intracellular portion of a protein-tyrosine kinase which is capable of signalling the therapeutic cell to destroy a receptor-bound target cell or a receptor-bound target infective agent. Also disclosed are cells which express the chimeric receptors and DNA encoding the chimeric receptors.

Title: Improvements in piezo-electric quartz crystals
IPC: G04F5/06
Filed: 1963-01-09
Abstract: 1,014,662. Piezoelectric crystals. PHILIPS ELECTRIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd. Jan. 9, 1963 [Jan. 12, 1962], No. 1037/63. Heading H1E. The electrodes adjacent the two long edges of a quartz NT-cut or MT-cut crystal plate are extended around the long edges on to the adjacent side faces. The NT and MT cuts are derived from an X cut plate by a clockwise rotation of about 8.5 degrees about the X axis, the rotation being considered from the positive end of this axis. Thereafter, further rotations of 60 degrees and of 36 degrees about the Y<SP>1</SP> axis define respectively the NT (Fig. 3), MT (Fig. 4) cuts. When used in a flexural mode, the NT plate is provided with electrodes in the form of longitudinal strips 5, 7, 9, 11 which are crossconnected. The pairs of electrodes most remote from each other in the X direction (7 and 9) are extended to provide electrodes 13, 15 on the side faces. By this means, the mean orientation of the electric field corresponds more closely with the direction of the X axis. As a result, the ratio of the parallel to the series capacitance (C 0 /C 1 ) is reduced and the bandwidth improved. Fig. 4 shows the application to a MT-cut longitudinal oscillator.

Title: Improvements in and relating to stabilizers for aeroplanes
IPC: B64C13/00
Filed: 1926-01-19
Abstract: 246,472. Mazade, M. A. Jan. 22, 1925, [Convention date]. Steering and balancing. - To compensate for variations in the driving torque of the engine or engines of an aeroplane the stabilizing controls are given a correspondingly variable mean position with respect to their usual control members either automatically or by the pilot. Fig. 1 shows a rudder normally actuated by a pneumatic servomotor 5 having a three-armed lever 6, 7 which carries a drum 25 and guide pulleys 21, 22 around which the control cables 10, 11 are passed. The drum 25 is moved by a handle 26 or through a servo-motor to vary the mean position of the rudder with respect to the servo-motor 5 when the engine speed varies. Alternatively the drum 25 may be placed upon some intermediate member of the transmission, or it may be placed between the pilot's control and the servo-motor 5. Fig. 3 shows an automatically controlled device acting upon the control element of an automatic stabilizer, wherein a mercury switch 2 is mounted upon a disc 1 and controls a servo-motor similar to the servo-motor 5, Fig. 1. The engine drives a ball governor 40 through the transmission gear shown, and as the speed varies a collar 45 transmits motion through an extensible and articulated shaft 52 to a worm 51 geared to a sector 53 on the disc 1, which is pivoted at 57, thereby causing the mercury switch to function. The worm 51 is carried in bearing 55, 56 on a lever 54 pivoted at 57, the lever havins a slot 58 engaging a pin 59 on a similar lever 60 on the arms 6 of the servo-motor. Movement of the lever 60 restores the disc 1 to normal position, but the position of the rudder will only remain normal when the engine speed is normal. The position of the pin 59 on the lever 60 is variable. The disc 1 of the stabilizer or the corresponding element of any other stabilizer may be displaced by a manometric device responsive to the pressure of a fluid in a conduit which can be more or less opened by a ball governor. Or the engine may drive a centrifugal pump which moves a pointer to control an electric servo-motor for actuating the disc 1 or the governor 40, or the disc may be moved in accordance with the variations in speed of an electromotor supplied from a generator driven bv the engine. Where there are two engines, each may drive one sun pinion of a differential gear so that the governor 40 is only driven when the engine speeds differ, or the sun pinions may be driven by electromotors supplied with current from twn generators driven bv the respective engines. Alternatively the engines may drive two pumps actuating a differential pressure gauge the pointer of which controls an electromotor for driving the ball governor. The application of the invention to the inclinometer or course indicator of a stabilizer of the Sperry tyne. and to the Constantin wind vane, described in Specification 192,764, is referred to.
