Abstract: The present invention provides novel peptides and vaccines containing them capable of inducing production of antibodies directed against Clostridium perfringens alpha-toxin (CPa) in animals to which they are administered and thereby providing prophylaxis against infection by Clostridium perfringens and/or the alpha-toxin itself.  Particularly the present invention provides such a vaccine that is relatively safe and simple to produce, e.g. by genetic engineering means. Preferred peptides comprise theo amino acid sequence of Clostridium perfringens alpha-toxin from amino acid 247 to 370 but lack the epitopes necessary for phospholipase C and/or sphingomyelin hydrolysing activity found between amino acids 1 to 240 of that sequence. Further provided are antisera and antibodies raised to the peptides and vaccines of the present invention, and particularly monoclonal antibodies and hybridoma cell lines for their production.

Abstract: A novel gas flow control assembly for a gas fuel cutting torch is disclosed. The gas flow control assembly provides a gas-saving oxy/fuel cutting torch which may be operated in a pilot mode when the torch is not in active use.The gas flow control assembly includes an inlet end and an outlet end. The inletend is adapted for the attachment of a fuel gas conduit and an oxygen conduit. The outlet end is adapted for the attachment of a fuel gas tube, a preheat oxygen tube and a cutting oxygen tube which provide fluid communication of fuel gas, preheat oxygen and cutting oxygen from the control body to a torch head. Passages through the control body are normally closed by biased valves having stems which extend through fluid tight seals in a top of the control body. A lever pivotally connected to the control body is arranged to simultaneously depress the stems of the valves which normally close the preheat oxygen and the fuel gas passages when the lever is manually operated to a first position. Further operation of the lever depresses the stem of the valve which normally closes the cutting oxygen passage. A small orifice, preferably bored through each of the valves in the preheat oxygen and the fuel gas passages permits a controlled flow of fuel and oxygen gases through the gas flow control assembly to permit the torch to operate in the pilot mode wherein a small flame is sustained at a nozzle installed in the torch head. The advantage is that a cutting torch is provided which saves significant quantities of fuel gas and oxygen because it may be instantly switched between pilot mode and preheat/cutting mode.

Title: Roll-up door
Inventor: KRUPKE LEROY GREGORY
IPC: E06B9/58
Filed: 1996-03-21
Granted: 1999-06-01
Abstract: A flexible roll-up door assembly includes opposed, elongated frame members supporting guides for longitudinal side edges of the door and for slide members connectable to a bottom beam of the door closure member by a latch mechanism which includes opposed latch members which engage the slide members, respectively. The slide members rotate to permit the latch members to separate in response to a predetermined force acting on the door closure or the bottom beam. The latch members are spring biased to retract out of or extend into cooperating slots in the slide members and may be reinserted in the slide members to reconnect the door to the guides. The latch members may include retaining projections cooperable with reentrant edges or other surfaces in the slots to retain the latch members engaged with the slide members. Alternate embodiments include latch members formed on the slide members and engaged in slots formed in a transverse bottom beam for the door closure member. Spaced apart tensioning reels are mounted on the door closure shaft and support cables which are trained through the guides and are connected to the slide members to apply a pulldown tensioning force on the door closure member. Pivotable brake arms, disposed adjacent the tensioning reels, have the tensioning cables trained thereover and are responsive to disconnection of the door bottom beam from the slide members to engage the tensioning reels to reduce the speed of cable windup.

Title: Method and apparatus for positioning an ultrasonic transducer and a display screen
Inventor: STOUFFER JAMES R
IPC: A22B5/00
Filed: 1996-07-17
Granted: 1999-11-09
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for positioning an ultrasonic transducer where the user can see the positioning device and a display of the image being generated at the same time. This system solves the problem of the user having to look away from the transducer to see the image. The method comprises positioning a display screen to show the ultrasonic image being generated to the user such that the user can see the positioning of the transducer and the image on the display screen at the same time. To accomplish this the display screen can be incorporated into or mounted directly mounted onto the transducer housing. Once the user properly positions the transducer and is satisfied with the image, a image capture signal can be sent by the user. Once the image is captured it can be sent to an associated computer for analysis, printed or saved for archiving, etc.

Abstract: Method and device for determining a proximal arterial blood pressure waveform in a person, starting from a distally measured arterial pressure waveform, by first applying age-dependent waveform filtering to the distal pressure waveform, in order to obtain the proximal pressure waveform with mutually correct systolic, diastolic and mean pressure levels, and by then shifting the filtered pressure waveform by means of calibration to the correct proximal pressure level, for example by calibration of one level of the filtered systolic, diastolic or mean pressure levels with the corresponding proximal pressure level. This can be a single noninvasively measured systolic or diastolic or mean pressure level. The age for the purpose of the age-dependent waveform filtering is derived from the distally measured pressure waveform, for example by means of a trained neural network. The level shift in the filtered pressure waveform can be obtained by means of a regression equation which has entered in it only the filtered pressure waveform with corresponding systolic and diastolic pressure levels, or the above combined with a noninvasively measured single brachial pressure level.
