Title: Apparatus and methods for verifying the location of areas of interest within a sample in an imaging system
Inventor: ZAHNISER DAVID J
IPC: G01N33/48
Filed: 2000-10-27
Abstract: An apparatus and method for verifying the location of an area of interest within a sample are disclosed. An imaging system includes an optical system and a stage movable relative to the optical system. A computer server is in communication with the imaging system and with a review station. The imaging system is capable of spatially locating a datum mark on the sample and determining a spatial offset value of the mark relative to a nominal position thereof. The coordinate systems of a respective one of the imaging system and the review station can be standardized. The method includes locating a datum mark on the sample, and identifying an area of interest within the sample. The method further includes determining the location of the area of interest relative to the mark. The method further includes locating again the datum, and checking that a dimensional error in locating the datum mark is less than a tolerance value to verify location of the area of interest.

Title: Method of imparting preferred alignment in liquid crystal cells
Inventor: SEIBERLE HUBERT
IPC: G02F1/1337
Filed: 2000-01-25
Abstract: A liquid-crystal cell has a wall able to impart both the preferred tilt and preferred azimuthal alignment to the liquid-crystal molecules in use in the cell. The wall is made by exposing a material on it to oblique radiation which is circularly polarized or unpolarized, wherein multiple local zones of the material are exposed to radiation, the oblique angle of the radiation being uniform within each local zone but different between two or more zones and wherein locally different oblique radiation is applied in one radiation step by interposing a micro element array between the source of the radiation and the material.

Title: Method for the production of hydroxynitrile lyases
Inventor: EFFENBERGER FRANZ
IPC: C12N9/88
Filed: 2000-12-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved process for producing hydroxynitrile lyases. A process is provided whereby hydroxynitrile lyases may be produced by cultivation in bacteria or suitable host cells. Cells containing a gene encoding for a hydroxynitrile lyase may be precultivated, induced with a low concentration of IPTG, cultured, and lysed. The process allows for the production of relatively large quantities of hydroxynitrile lyases in a dissolved, native, and active form, and without the presence of substantial amounts of inclusion bodies, and thus allowing for the production of the lyases without requiring expensive and time consuming renaturation steps.

Title: Endoscopic surgical instruments having rotatable end effectors
Inventor: BALES THOMAS O
IPC: A61B10/06
Filed: 1993-02-05
Abstract: Medical instruments are provided having end effectors (22,24) and end effector actuator apparatus which are rotatable relative to the end effectors. The instruments generally include a tube (20) which is typically coupled to the end effectors via a clevis (30) around which the end effectors pivot, a push rod (60) extending through the tube and coupled to the end effectors, an actuator apparatus engaging the tube and the push rod and imparting reciprocal axial motion to the push rod relative to the tube, and the end effectors. The actuator apparatus includes a sleeve (90), spring (103), handle (85), and lever arm (75). The sleeve is movable along the longitudinal axis of the tube against a biasing force of the spring, but is restrained from rotating about the tube. The sleeve has a locking element on its proximal end. The handle surrounds and rotatably engages the proximal end of the tube and has a locking element on its distal end which mates with the locking element of the sleeve and disengages therewith when the sleeve is advanced along the tube. Upon disengagement, the tube, push rod, and end effectors can be rotated. The lever arm pivotally engages the handle and is coupled to the push rod such that pivotal movement of the lever arm relative to the handle effects movement of the push rod relative to the tube and pivotal movement of the end effectors. To decouple rotation of the push rod from the lever arm, a generally spherical push rod engaging element (190) is provided in a generally cylindrical bore (200) of the lever arm. <IMAGE>

Title: Inhibition of ii synthesis
Inventor: HUMPHREYS ROBERT E
IPC: C12N5/10
Filed: 1997-06-09
Abstract: Disclosed are expressible reverse gene constructs, and oligonucleotides, which are characterized by the ability to hybridize with an Ii mRNA molecule, thereby inhibiting translation of the Ii mRNA molecule. These compositions are referred to generally as inhibitors of Ii expression. Also disclosed are MHC class II-positive antigen presenting cells containing an inhibitor of Ii expression. A particularly important class of MHC class II-positive antigen presenting cells are malignant MHC class II-positive antigen presenting cells (e.g., leukemia, lymphoma and melanoma). Also disclosed are methods which results in the display of an autodeterminant peptide, in association with an MHC class II protein, on the surface of an MHC class II-positive antigen presenting cell. In such methods, a specific inhibitor of Ii synthesis is introduced into an MHC class II-positive antigen presenting cell. The specific inhibitor functions, directly or indirectly, through the formation of a duplex molecule with mRNA encoding Ii. The formation of the duplex molecule functions to inhibit Ii synthesis at the translational level. Also disclosed are therapeutic methods for the treatment of malignancy in an MHC class II-positive antigen presenting cell, and autodeterminant peptides which are isolated from an MHC class II-positive antigen presenting cell.

Title: Method of inverse multiplexing for atm
Inventor: COUNTERMAN RAYMOND C
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-02-07
Abstract: A method for flexible inverse multiplexing for ATM and for link grouping of communication links with different transmission rates and delay. The method of the present invention supports links which use a portion of the link bandwidth for one QoS objective (e.g., low delay) and another portion for another QoS objective (e.g., low cell loss). The method involves servicing each of a number of multiplexed flows with a predetermined number of cells. Cells are assigned to each flow during a number of cycles which make up an ATM frame. The number of cells assigned to each flow during each cycle is dynamically adjusted based upon the requirements of each flow, and may be different for each flow. The number of cells assigned to each flow during each cycle may either be fixed, or may vary from cycle to cycle.

Title: Optical docking station
Inventor: BUCHANAN DAVID R
IPC: G03B21/00
Filed: 1999-05-19
Abstract: An optical docking station comprises an optical frame and a detachable virtual image display module. The display module comprises a low power light source such as a light emitting diode, one or more beam splitters, polarizers, a liquid crystal display panel and an imaging lens. When the display module is detached from the optical frame, the light emitting diode provides the primary illumination for the image formed by the liquid crystal display panel. The image thus formed is a magnified virtual image of the liquid crystal display panel. When the display module is attached to the projector frame, however, a more powerful light source mounted to the optical frame provides the primary illumination. The more powerful light source forms a real image of the liquid crystal display module, which is capable of being projected onto a screen.

Title: Vasopermeability enhancing peptide of human interleukin-2 and immunoconjugates thereof
Inventor: EPSTEIN ALAN L
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1998-01-12
Abstract: A novel permeability enhancing peptide (PEP) is a fragment of interleukin-2. When joined to a delivery vehicle that can target a tumor site, the PEP can increase the subsequent uptake of antineoplastic or tumor imaging agents. The PEP can be chemically joined to a monoclonal antibody to form an immunoconjugate. Alternatively, an expression vector is genetically engineered to express a fusion protein. The fusion protein has an antigen-binding portion joined to the PEP. The PEP is most effective when it takes the form of a dimer, linked by a disulfide bridge. The PEP is substantially free of cytokine activity and produces minimal toxic side effects on normal tissues. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>
