Abstract: A cigarette-holder is disclosed which is provided with a filter member (14) as well as with a device for regulating draught, which device allows the amount of nicotine inhaled to be progressively reduced. Said device comprises a small metallic pipe (4) that holds on one side the cigarette (18) while it is inserted with the opposite side into the cigarette-holder, a filter member (14) being interposed. Said filter member is made up of a small hollow cylinder of diameter less than the pipe diameter, and it obstructs the smoke flow into the cigarette-holder by leaving just a small through-hole (16) and delimits an annular space wherein smoke becomes further cooled before being inhaled, said filter being also made up of a plugging member that reduces the outlet cross section. The regulation of draught occurs owing to a shiftable clamp (7) which obstructs totally or partially according to its position a set of holes (5) which are obtained in the walls of said pipe, so varying the amount of air that is mixed with smoke before reaching said filter member.

Title: Bispecific reagents for aids therapy.
Inventor: FANGER MICHAEL W
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1990-06-29
Abstract: Bispecific molecules which react both with the high-affinity Fc gamma receptor of human effector cells and with a virus or virus component are disclosed. Binding of the molecules to the Fc receptors found on effector cells is not blocked by human immunoglobulin G. The molecules are useful for targeting human effector cells (e.g. macrophages) against a viral target (e.g. HIV or BIV-infected cell). For this purpose, bispecific molecules can be constructed containing the binding region derived from an anti-Fc gamma  receptor antibody and the CD4 molecule or CD4 binding domain of the envelope glycoprotein gp120 of BIV. Alternatively, bispecific antibodies or heteroantibodies can be constructed containing the binding region derived from an anti-Fc receptor antibody and the binding region of HIV-specific antibody such as anti-gp120 antibody. Targeted effector cells can be used to kill virus by cell mediated antibody dependent cytolysis.

Abstract: Self-prontonated sulfonic acid-substituted polyaniline compositions, processes for their preparation and uses therefor are disclosed. The sulfonated polyaniline compositions have faster electronic and optical responses to electrochemical potentials comparing to its parent polyaniline, improved environmental stability, and improved solubility than the parent polymer, polyaniline. A process for producing the sulfonated polyaniline compositions comprises reacting the polyaniline polymer with concentrated sulfuric acid. The sulfonated polyaniline compositions are useful for switching an electrochemical response between a conducting and a nonconducting state. The sulfonated polyaniline compositions are also useful for conduction of electricity, absorption of electromagnetic radiation, modulation of electromagnetic beams and modification of the electromagnetic response of sulfonated polyaniline compositions by chemical or electrochemical means. The sulfonated polyaniline compositions are also useful as a high density erasable data storage medium for use in information storage and processing applications. The invention further provides electronic, chemical, electrochemical, and optical microelectronic devices which use and control the chemical and physical properties of the sulfonated polyaniline compositions.

Abstract: The electromigration characteristics of integrated circuit conductors are determined by passing a high current for a short period of time through an inventive test structure. This provides a rapid test in a more accurate manner than with the prior art SWEAT (Standard Wafer-level Electromigration Accelerated Test) structure. The test results have been found to be well correlated with long-term low current electromigration tests. A sensitive differential test may be implemented that determines the effects of topography features. The inventive test technique can be performed on every wafer lot, or even every wafer, so that adjustments to the wafer fabrication process can be rapidly implemented.
