Abstract: A modular manifold system is provided for interconnecting fluid components of a fluid system in a reduced area. The system is comprised of one or more bridge fittings having an internal fluid passageway which has an inlet end in fluid communication with an outlet port of a first fluid component, and an outlet end in fluid communication with an inlet port of a second fluid component. The bridge fittings may additionally comprise two or more ports, which one of said ports may be in fluid communication with a manifold on another substrate level.  The bridge fittings may be mounted within a channel of a backing plate for structural support or in channel blocks of varying sizes. An optional locator plate may be utilized which is mounted over the ends of the bridge fittings in order to align the inlet and outlet ports of the fluid components with the inlet and outlet ends of the bridge fittings. The bridge fittings may also be mounted to the locator plate in multiple directions forming multiple flow paths. Additionally, the bridge fittings may be stacked to form multiple layers where bridge fittings of one layer may be in fluid communication with bridge fittings of another layer. The invention may further comprise seals provided in a recess between the fluid ports and the mating bridge fittings ends.

Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to attenuated negative-strand RNA viruses having an impaired ability to antagonize the cellular interferon (IFN) response, and the use of such attenuated viruses in vaccine and pharmaceutical formulations. The invention also relates to the development and use of IFN-deficient systems for selection of such attenuated viruses. In particular, the invention relates to attenuated influenza viruses having modifications to the NS1 gene that diminish or eliminate the ability of the NS1 gene product to antagonize the cellular IFN response. The mutant viruses replicate in vivo but demonstrate reduced pathogenicity, and therefore are well suited for live virus vaccines, and pharmaceutical formulations.

Granted: 2011-01-11
Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et des compositions comprenant un groupe de nouvelles cassettes d'expression qui assurent des niveaux sensiblement plus élevés d'accumulation des séquences d'acides aminés de Cry3B et des variantes de Cry3B, qui ont un effet inhibiteur sur les coléoptères, lorsque ces séquences sont exprimées dans des plantes. Dans les modes de réalisation préférés, on obtient des quantités de protéines repoussant les insectes qui sont au moins dix fois supérieures aux quantités les plus élevées obtenues avec les compositions existantes. On notera tout particulièrement le maïs transgénique exprimant des niveaux élevés d'une protéine conçue pour manifester une plus grande toxicité envers les coléoptères: il offre une meilleure protection contre les insectes et présente moins de risques de favoriser le développement de populations d'insectes cibles qui résisteraient à la protéine à action insecticide.
Patent CA-2344299-C (CA)
Inventor: LEVY DAVID S
IPC: H04B10/275
Filed: 2001-04-18
Granted: 2005-03-01
Abstract: A facility is provided to allow a supervisory message to quickly propagate through a transmission network without delay. Specifically, a supervisory message is quickly routed from one node to a next node by (a) splitting the control channel signal carrying the supervisory message at a receiving node, (b) sending one of the split control channel signals to an output via switchable apparatus for immediate transmission the next node and (c0 sending the other split signal to a controller for analysis. If the controller invokes a predetermined procedure as a result of the content of the message, e.g., invokes protection switching, then the controller forms a supervisory message identifying the invoked procedure, operates the switchable apparatus so that the message identifying the invoked procedure may be routed to the output in place of the split channel signal message.

Abstract: The structures and process of both forming and trimming the blind set include the provision of a channel extension or channel plug utilized in a blind set which has the louver manipulation components significantly inward to permit a reasonable amount of outboard removal while maintaining the balance and regular appearance of the blind set.  The channel plug acts to stabilize the "U" shaped upper channel by having an insertion portion which not only fills a structurally significant extent of the channel, but fully upwardly engages a pair of oppositely oriented curved inwardly and downwardly lips. An extension portion of the channel plug has a pair of upper rails which match and blend with the terminus of the pair of oppositely oriented curved inwardly and downwardly lips to provide both stability, visual continuity, and continuous upper, frontal, rear, and bottom support as will be had from the particular mounting method employed. The plug is typically made from a material as soft as the material from which the louvers or slats are made, such as wood, plastic, polyethylene, polyurethane, nylon, fiber glass, polypropylene, or the like.

Abstract: Because a shift lever device 10 uses attracting force of a fixed iron core 150A, 216A of a magnet 150 or an electromagnet 216 in switching between a lock state and an unlock state at a shift lock mechanism 118 and a key interlock mechanism 200, the mechanisms can be made compact. When a shift lever 12 is changed from a "D" shift position to a "4" shift position and when the shift lever 12 is changed from a "2" shift position to an "L" shift position, a link 30 is rotated in a same direction. Thus, a sliding direction of a slider 38 which detects a rotational position of the link 30 is only one, and a placement size of a detecting member 48 can be made small and the device can be made compact. Because the shift lock unit 88 is equipped integrally with shift lock mechanism 118, and the link 30, the slider 38 and the detecting member 48 of a sensing mechanism, the shift lock unit 88 can be made compact.
