Abstract: A strip baggage tag (1) includes a tag part (3) which can be written on and attached to an article of baggage, and a control section (4). The control section (4) includes a tear-off part (5) which can be detached from the tag part (3) along a transversely extending separation line (6). The tag part (3) and the tear-off part (5) have respective back adhesive areas (11, 11'') coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive on both sides of the separation line (6). The adhesive areas (11', 11'') are covered by a one-piece lower web section (14) which forms part of the control section (4) and is developed for carbonless copying on its top facing the tag part (3). The lower web section (14) is continuously separation-active (17) except for a partial region (18) below part of the adhesive area (11'') on the tear-off part (5) of the control section (4). This partial region (18), which is made separation-inactive for instance by corona treatment, forms an attachment bridge so as to form a firm connection between the lower web section (14) and the tear-off part (5), so that they together form the control section (4) for being adhered to an airplane ticket for identification of an article of baggage, after subsequent exposure of part of the adhesive area (11'').

Abstract: A children's play structure includes a hinged frame structure having mounted thereon a plurality of panels depicting murals or scenes. The hinged frame structure, which is comprised of a plurality of hinging sections and which is of lightweight, simple and economical construction, is provided with substantial rigidity by corner structures which include hinging apparatus at the upper and lower ends of vertical tubes to permit pivoting rotation of the corner structure relative to one but not the other of a pair of frame sections coupled thereby. Each of the upper and lower hinging apparatus includes a clevis and a lever releasably coupled to the horizontal tubes of the adjacent frame sections by plugs with resilient release tabs. The clevis and lever have interleaved legs which receive a shaft and an opposite cap within apertures therein to permit pivoting rotation between the lever and the clevis while at the same time providing substantial resistance to unwanted vertical flexure. At the same time, the shaft which is secured to the vertical tube of the corner assembly, and the cap which is non-rotatably coupled thereto, are prevented from rotating relative to the clevis, such that only one of the adjacent hinging frame sections is free to rotate relative to the single common vertical tube of the corner structure. The front sections at opposite ends of the hinged frame structure have upper and lower tubes which terminate at vertical tubes to which such upper and lower tubes are coupled by elbows.

Title: Play house for use with construction toy blocks
Inventor: BERTRAND VICTOR J
IPC: A63H33/04
Filed: 1993-02-02
Granted: 1996-11-19
Abstract: A play house for use by children to play with dolls or toy figurines.   It has a base, a plurality of lateral  walls  and  a  roof  which  altogether  define  an openable enclosure externally shaped as a house.  It also has one or more floor members within the enclosure, each of which has an upper surface provided with a plurality of identical connecting elements, preferably in the form of cylindrical studs, that extend upwardly therefrom.   The connecting elements are sized and positioned to fit into, and  retain  construction  toy  blocks  capable  of  being assembled with other construction toy blocks provided with the same connecting elements.  Advantageously, the floor members are detachably mounted within the enclosure to allow the construction toy blocks to be assembled therewith outside the enclosure.  This feature makes the play house easier to play with, as the child may remove the floor member, then build easily on it with the construction toy blocks, and finally reinsert the floor member with the built structure into the play house.  This also makes it possible to easily interchange some already built floor members, if the child wants to interchange some of the rooms or pieces of furniture decorating the same, without having to dismantle them and construct them again.

Abstract: An autogyro (10) has a teetering semi-rigid rotary wing (28) with rigid rotor blades (30a, 30b). The blade pitch of the rotor blades (30a, 30b) is fully adjustable in flight and varies along the blade length. A prerotator (100) rotates the rotor blades (30a, 30b) up to takeoff speed at minimum drag, no lift and optimum engine efficiency. Engine power is disconnected from the rotor blades (30a, 30b) and their angle of attack is changed for optimum lift. Rotor blade pitch is adjusted during vertical landing. In flight, rotor blade angle of attack is varied to adjust autorotation, lift and drag at any flight airspeed. On the ground, the rotary wing (28) is braked to prevent rotation. The autogyro (10) may roll, pitch or yaw, with complete independence of blade pitch with respect to all other relative motions. The pedals (61a, 61b) have disproportions forward and backward motions.

Title: Pseudo-adenovirus vectors
Inventor: GREGORY RICHARD J
IPC: A61K31/70
Filed: 1993-12-02
Granted: 2008-05-27
Abstract: Gene Therapy vectors, which are especially useful for cystic fibrosis, and methods for using the vectors are disclosed.  In preferred embodiments, the vectors are adenovirus-based.  Advantages of adenovirus-based vectors for gene therapy are that they appear to be relatively safe and can be manipulated to encode the desired gene product and at the same time are inactivated in terms of their ability to replicate in a normal lytic viral life cycle. Additionally, adenovirus has a natural tropism for airway epithelia.  Therefore, adenovirus-based vectors are particularly preferred for respiratory gene therapy applications such as gene therapy for cystic fibrosis.  In one embodiment, the adenovirus-based gene therapy vector comprises an adenovirus 2 serotype genome in which the E1a and E1b regions of the genome, which are involved in early stages of viral replication have been deleted and replaced by genetic material of interest (e.g., DNA encoding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator protein). In another embodiment, the adenovirus-based therapy vector is a pseudo-adenovirus (PAV). PAVs contain no potentially harmful viral genes, have a theoretical capacity for foreign material of nearly 36 kb, may be produced in reasonably high titers and maintain the tropism of the parent adenovirus for dividing and non-dividing human target cell types.
