Abstract: A concrete armor or erosion prevention module for the protection of river, lake, and reservoir banks, shorelines and other structures is characterized by a central elongate concrete member and two outer elongate concrete members connected on opposites sides of the central member. The outer members have parallel longitudinal axes extending normal to the longitudinal axis of the central member. These elongate members all have an octagonal cross-section and are further configured such that their cross-sectional area decreases from an intermediate portion towards opposite ends thereof. A plurality of the modules may be interlocked to form a cohesive array or barrier which protects shorelines and other structure from erosive hydrodynamic forces.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for detecting mammalian genes encoding proteins which can function in microorganisms, particularly yeast, to modify, complement, or suppress a genetic defect associated with an identifiable phenotypic alteration or characteristic in the microorganism. Disclosed also are mammalian DNA sequences cloned by the above method, as well as polypeptide products of the expression of the DNA sequences in procaryotic or eucaryotic host cells and antibody substances which are specifically immunoreactive with said expression products. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods for cloning mammalian genes which encode products which modify, complement or suppress a genetic defect in a biochemical pathway in which cAMP participates to products (RNA, proteins) encoded by the mammalian genes cloned in this manner, and to antibodies which can bind the encoded proteins.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for causing the polymerized excess monomer to separate from a molded lens by increasing the surface energy of the flange area of one mold piece, causing the polymerized excess monomer to stick thereto. Specifically when manufactured under inert atmosphere conditions, a particular manifold is needed to supply an oxygen bearing gas, air, to the area to be treated while preventing the oxygen from contaminating the lens manufacturing area of the molds or diluting the nitrogen atmosphere of other lens process areas. It has been found that generation of the ionized oxygen by means of a corona treatment electrode sufficiently increases the adherence of the polymer to the mold piece so treated. In the preferred embodiment, the flange around the convex, male piece of the lens mold is corona treated so that when the mold pieces are separated after lens polymerization, the flashing of excess polymerized material surrounding the lens cavity adheres to that male, convex piece flange while the lens is removed with the female, concave piece.

Abstract: A DAC (84) converts a sequence of digital codewords (12) into an approximately piecewise linear analog waveform (50, 106) that follows rising and falling edges (76, 78; 94, 96) between plateau levels (82; 98). The DAC (84) processes, in parallel, each bit of the codewords (12) to produce component waveforms (88) that are weighted according to their bits significance and summed together to produce the piecewise linear analog waveform (50, 106). Waveform shaping circuits (100) control the rise and fall times of each component waveform (88) so that the analog waveform's rising and falling edges settle to within a desired error bound (80) of a linear output ramp (56, 58) whose slope is a function of the difference between successive codewords (12) and the rise or fall times. The rise and fall times are preferably approximately the same. Limiting switches (102) control the plateau levels of the component waveforms (88) so that the analog waveform's plateaus settle to within the desired error bound (80) of the ideal values represented by the codewords (12). The linear region of the limiting switches (102) are expanded to maintain the linearity of the rising and falling edges established by the waveform shaping circuits (100). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Pregelatinized granular starches and flours are thermally inhibited by dehydrating a starch to anhydrous or substantially anhydrous and then heat treating the dehydrated starch at a temperature and for a time sufficient to inhibit the starch. The starch may be pregelatinized prior to or after the thermal inhibition using methods known in the art which retain the granular integrity. Preferably, the pH of the starch or flour is raised to 7.0 or above prior to the thermal inhibition steps. The dehydration step may be carried out by directly heating the starch, by extracting the starch with a solvent, or by freeze drying the starch. Preferably protein and/or lipids are removed prior to or after the thermal inhibition.
