Abstract: An oil separator (10) for use in a vehicle air system includes a recycling valve (30) for removing coalesced oil. The recycling valve (30) may include a piston (78) movable in a cylinder in response to a control air pressure to open the recycling valve and thus drain coalesced oil from a sump (70) under the influence of residual air pressure in the sump. The separator may include a fixture for mounting the separator to a vehicle, including a plurality of ports extending from an inlet port (50) for directing air into the cartridge (42) with a combined flow area at least equal to the flow area of the inlet port. The plurality of ports preferably extend at a right angle to the direction of flow of air through the inlet port.

IPC: C12N15/13
Filed: 2004-12-06
Abstract: Monoclonal antibody reagents that recognize the SARS-coronavirus (SARS-HCoV) are needed urgently. In this report we describe the development and immunochemical characterisation of mAbs against the SARS-HCoV based upon their specificity, binding requirements, and biological activity. Initial screening by ELISA, using highly purified virus as the coating antigen, resulted in the selection of seventeen mAbs. Five mAbs exhibited Western immunoblot reactivity with the denatured spike protein, of which two demonstrated the ability to neutralize SARS-HCoV in vitro. Another four Western immunoblot-negative mAbs also neutralize the virus. These antibodies will be useful for the development of diagnostic tests, pathogenicity and vaccine studies.

Title: Method and apparatus for data network sampling
Inventor: KRISHNAMURTHY BALACHANDER
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2006-06-27
Abstract: Disclosed is an informed sampling technique for biasing a sample data set toward network data of interest for a particular application. Network data received at a network node (for example at a rate which is greater than a sampling rate for which the network node is configured) is chosen to be included in a sample set based on one or more predetermined signatures which are chosen to bias the sample set toward network data of interest for a particular application. For example, the sample set may be biased to include data of interest for fraud detection, spam detection, and intrusion detection. The particular signature(s) may be predefined by a user, or may be automatically generated by another network application. The invention may be implemented at various levels and nodes of a network. For example, the informed sampling may be implemented at a traffic monitoring function of a network router, a flow collector which receives network flow data from the router, or both.

Abstract: A fuse block 23 includes a main body portion 34, which is arranged along a top edge portion 21a of a frame 21, and an arm portion 35, which extends from an end of the main body portion 34 along a side edge portion 21b of the frame 21 that is roughly orthogonal to the top edge portion 21a. The mutual engagement of rocking restricting portions 31 and 41 that are provided on the side edge portion 21b of the frame 21 and the arm portion 35 restricts displacement of the arm portion 35 in relation to the side edge portion 21b of the frame 21 in a direction orthogonal to the length direction of the side edge portion 21b. This prevents rocking of the fuse block 23 in which the top edge portion 21a of the frame 21 serves roughly as a fulcrum.

Abstract: There is provided herein a multivalent binding molecule and uses thereof. The molecule is useful in binding a target under certain conditions and releasing it under other conditions. The molecule has the general formula (1) of BM1-L-(BM2)n (1) wherein, BM1 is a binding moiety 1 having an affinity for site 1 on the target, BM2 is a binding moiety 2 having an affinity for a site other than site 1 on the target, n is 1 or greater, and L is a linker joining BM1 and BM2, said linker being adapted to respond to a change in its environment with a change in conformation and/or flexibility, wherein BM1 and BM2 may be the same or different and are selected such that in use each of the BM1 and BM2 existing separately has a lower binding affinity then the complex of BM1 and BM2 does when they are linked to form the molecule. BM2 may have a single binding region or multiple binding regions with affinity for the target. The binding affinity of BM1 or BM2 to the target alone is no more than ½ the binding affinity of the molecule of formula (1). The molecule of formula (1) can be constructed using an oligomeric or polymeric linker, such as a polypeptide sequence. Such molecules can be useful in the delayed release of drugs, in screening assays, for stabilizing enzymes such as proteases, and for controlling reactions such as blood clotting.
