Abstract: Autoimmune diseases are the result of an immune response directed against a self antigen. Susceptibility to an autoimmune disease is conferred by antigen encoded within an allele of the MHC. A potentially susceptible individual is protected from developing the autoimmune disease by an antigen encoded within a second allele of the MHC. Individuals who have the allele for susceptibility, and lack the allele for protection are highly susceptible to manifestation of the autoimmune disease. The present invention provides a method for prophylactically treating individuals who are highly susceptible to an autoimmune disease. In the method, the individuals are tolerized by administration of a protective antigen encoded within the protective allele. As part of the invention, the sequences encoding the protective antigen(s), as well as the antigen(s) conferred susceptibility, are elucidated. The elucidation of these sequences allows for the synthesis of the antigens conferring these traits. These antigens may be used pharmacologically; in addition, they may be used to raise monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies to these antigens are useful in diagnosis of susceptibility, and in elucidating the mechanisms by which antigens control the manifestation of the autoimmune disease. In addition, the sequence data allows the synthesis of nucleotide probes which are useful in diagnosis of susceptibility to the autoimmune disease.

Abstract: In a method for producing oxidized filaments (102) by treating precursor filaments (101) in a bed (5a) fluidized by an oxidizing gas and heat treating the precursor filaments (101) in the fluidized bed (5a), the fluidized bed (5a) is formed with heat-medium particles (5), not less than 80% by weight of which are of solid particles each having a particle diameter of not greater than 10 mesh, and the oxidation is carried out under optimum conditions within an optimum range of the treatment temperatures, an optimum range of depths H of the fluidized bed (5a) and an optimum gas speed of the oxidizing gas. By the method, the period of time required for the oxidation can be greatly shortened and oxidized filaments (102) having excellent characteristics can be obtained Furthermore, where the oxidized filaments thus obtained are carbonized, carbon fibers having excellent mechanical properties can be produced.

Abstract: A recognition system including a data carrier which is attached to a moving article and which has a memory storing identification data of the article and a control system communicating with the data carrier without any contact therebetween. The control system includes a higher-level controller, a plurality of lower-level controllers connected thereto, and read/write heads connected to the lower-level controllers. The higher-level controller sequentially sends an auto read/write command to the lower-level controllers. In response thereto, when the data carrier approaches one of the lower-level controllers, the lower-level controller communicates with the data carrier so as to access the memory thereof. The lower-level controller temporarily keeps a result of the memory access (the response from the data carrier) such that on receiving a command from the higher-level controller, the lower-level controller transmits the memory access result thus temporarily kept therein to the higher-level controller.

Abstract: The arm has a fastening element (2) and a plurality of telescopic elements (3-7) arranged therein of decreasing diameter. The fastening elements and the telescopic elements are connected to each other by at least one kinematic chain which is formed by deflected tension members (8). The tension members (8), preferably steel strips, each connect three successive telescopic elements (3-7). They are attached to the outer two telescopic elements in each case and are deflected at the top and at the bottom around the central element. When the telescopic element (3) of the largest diameter is displaced relative to the fastening element (2), each further telescopic element (4-7) is displaced by a corresponding length in relation to its outer adjacent element. This arrangement results in a rigid telescopic arm of small constructional height which operates without jolting.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring the rate of rotation of, for example, a turbine engine shaft (14) during the operation of the engine is described. A chopper (30) extends radially from the shaft (14). Infrared radiation is passed through an input optical fibre (34) having a bevelled end positioned adjacent to the chopper (30) which chops the infrared radiation. The chopped infrared radiation passes into a bevelled end of an output optical fibre (38) which is positioned adjacent to the chopper (30). The rate of rotation of the shaft (14) is detected by monitoring the chopped infrared radiation from the output optical fibre (38). Carbonaceous coatings are formed on the bevelled ends of the optical fibres (34,38) by deposition of oil and combustion products thereon. Although these coatings are opaque to visible light, they are transparent to the infrared radiation used.

Abstract: To improve the poor switching point stability in conventional switches due to the series-connection of a thyristor and of a Zener diode at the output of a full-wave rectifier located at the AC source, the thyristor and the Zener diode are replaced by a MOSFET T3, which is driven by a control stage 3 driven by an input stage 1, 2. The control stage 3 drives a further MOSFET T4 of a source follower T4, 6 via which the input stage is supplied with voltage from the AC source when the rectifier 4 is switched off whilst when the rectifier 4 is switched on, a relatively small output voltage of the rectifier 4 stabilised by the MOSFET T3 is used for the voltage supply, which is virtually present in its full strength at the input stage 1, 2 and the control stage 3 because of the turned-on MOSFET T4. Because of the stabilised small output voltage, the power loss is low even with comparatively high currents, which is why the temperature-dependent bottom elements, which are responsible for the switching point stability, are heat-loaded to only a negligibly low extent. The rectifier 4 can be blocked by means of a current sensor 8, the control stage 3 and the MOSFET T3 at any phase angle of the voltage of the AC source if the current is too high.
