Granted: 2002-12-19
Abstract: A power transmission belt with a good balance of high temperature resistance, good belt durability and low temperature flexibility, and a service range of about -40° C. to about 140° C. The main belt body portion of the power transmission belt is manufactured from an elastomeric material comprising 100 parts by weight of an at least partially hydrogenated nitrile group-containing copolymer rubber, and from about 0.5 to about 50 parts per hundred weight of said rubber of a fiber reinforcement having a length to diameter ratio of greater than 10:1. The nitrile group-containing copolymer rubber preferably comprises (1) from about 5 to about 40 percent of unsaturated nitrile monomer units, (2) from about 1 to about 80 percent of units of at least one second monomer selected from the group consisting of fluorine-free unsaturated carboxylic acid ester monomer units and fluorine-containing vinyl monomer units, or any monomer possessing the characteristic of lowering the glass transition temperature of the rubber; (3) up to about 20 percent of conjugated diene monomer units and (4) the balance being hydrogenated conjugated diene monomer units, preferably wherein the sum of the contents of the monomer units (1) and (2) is preferably from about 30 to 90 percent by weight and the sum of the contents of the monomer units (3) and (4) is from about 10 to about 70 percent by weight. The use of the fiber reinforcement in the nitrile group-containing, highly saturated copolymer rubber provides substantially improved low temperature crack resistance while improving the high temperature resistance of the belt.

Title: Compositions of preactivated unsupported catalyst having a given concentration and methods of using them
Inventor: ERICKSON KERSTEN ANNE
IPC: C08F4/64
Filed: 1999-12-28
Granted: 2003-08-28
Abstract: Preactivated unsupported catalyst compositions methods of using them are disclosed whereby the compositions have a concentration of preactivated catalyst of at least about 0.04 mmol of preactivated catalyst per liter of solution when using aliphatic or alicyclic hydrocarbon solvents, and a concentration of less than about 0.80 mmol/liter when using aromatic or halogen-substituted solvents. In the method, an unsupported catalyst precursor first is contacted with an activator, or co-catalyst, in a suitable reaction medium, and then the resulting mixture is contacted with additional solvent to form a preactivated unsupported olefin polymerization catalyst composition that can be fed to a gas phase polymerization reactor without plugging the catalyst injection nozzle. Combining the unsupported catalyst precursor, the co-catalyst and then adding additional solvent to provide such a composition prevents tube plugging, and provides a catalyst material that has high activity, avoids forming significant amounts of polymer agglomerates, and avoids reactor fouling.

Abstract: A system for securely using digital signatures in a commercial cryptographic system that allows industry-wide security policy and authorization information to be encoded into the signatures and certificates by employing attribute certificates to enforce policy and authorization requirements. In addition to value limits, cosignature requirements and document type restrictions that can be placed on transactions, an organization can enforce with respect to any transaction geographical and temporal controls, age-of-signature limitations, preapproved counterparty limitations and confirm-to requirements by using attribute certificates for the transacting user. Restrictions on distribution of certificates can be set using attribute certificates. Certificates can be used also to ensure key confinement and non-decryption requirements of smartcards in this system.

Granted: 1988-08-18
Abstract: A device for introducing dosed or proportioned quantities of pulverized solid materials into a carrier gas stream is presented. The device comprises a housing which defines a flow chamber in the axial direction for the flow of pressurized fluid or carrier gas. The housing also has a side aperture therethrough. The side aperture is connected to a container holding pulverized materials. Coaxial inner and outer sleeves, at least one of which is capable of rotation, are located within the housing. The outer sleeve communicates with the aperture while the inner sleeve has an axial bore which provides a passage for the carrier gas. Upon rotation of a sleeve, slots provided on each sleeve will align and overlap with each other and with the aperture to define a variable sized passage between the container and axial bore whereby the pulverized material is delivered therethrough to the carrier gas stream. The rotating sleeve forms an integral portion of a drive shaft which is mounted coaxially in the housing by means of bearings, the drive shaft being movable in the axial direction.

The slot is covered on the one hand by the housing of machine part (2), and in the area outside of this housing it is closed by a belt (4). The guide track (9) is thus closed to the outside in any position of the machine part (2). If a toothed belt drive (3) is used, the toothed belt (4) acts as driving and covering element at the same time.

Title: Human immunodeficiency virus vaccines and therapeutics containing replication-impaired HIV-1 NEF-deletion mutants
Inventor: APTE SATEESH N
IPC: C12N7/00
Filed: 1995-12-26
Granted: 2000-04-06
Abstract: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the primary etiologic agent for the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV exhibits considerable genotypic and phenotypic variability as manifested by different replicative kinetics, susceptibility to serum neutralization, antiviral drug resistance, cytopathic effects, and host-cell range specificity. Infection by HIV leads to progressive deterioration of cell-mediated immune responses making infected patients susceptible to a variety of opportunistic infections, such as pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), as well as, to the development of tumors such as Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). While the use of live-attenuated viruses to treat HIV infection has been proposed, to date researchers have been unable to demonstrate their efficacy in a clinical setting. The claimed invention addresses this defect by providing therapeutic compositions and methods of treatment employing viral suspensions prepared from cells transfected with a recombinant HIV-1 nef-deficient molecular clone. The HIV-1 nef gene product is required for efficient viral replication and pathogenicity in vivo. Nef may exert its effects through the downregulation of CD4 by endocytosis and lysosomal degradation, although other activities have also been ascribed to this gene product. Accordingly, this gene product was targeted for inactivation and a recombinant HIV-1ELI molecular clone was generated containing an NcoI/XhoI nef deletion. Suspensions comprising viral particles generated from cells transfected with the recombinant clone were prepared and administered to HIV-infected patients. Patients receiving these suspensions displayed a statistically significant reduction in viral burden and increase in CD4<+> lymphocyte counts during the study. The claimed compositions should facilitate the reduction of viral burden and the restoration of CD4<+> lymphocyte levels in HIV-1-infected subjects.

Granted: 1989-05-25
Abstract: Disclosed is a cutting device which is horizontally displaceable by means of double-acting guide cylinders and is vertically movable along vertical guide rods by means of a positioning device 10. Before cutting, the cutting device is brought into the preselected position by the positioning device. The heated cutting wire of the cutting device is connected to a current source via sliding contacts resting against ball bearings, over which the cutting wire is guided. The circuit of the current source contains a microswitch, the switch lug of which comes to rest against a plate during the forward movement of the cutting device and switches over the microswitch, thus terminating the heating of the cutting wire. This takes place at the moment when a cutting wire, after cutting through a material guided vertically over a cutting bar, penetrates into a notch in the cutting bar.
