Title: Articulated doll structure; three linked body parts
Inventor: RODRIGUEZ FERRE JOSE MANUEL
IPC: A63H3/36
Filed: 1992-11-09
Abstract: The articulated structure for dolls or puppet bodies of the invention consists of a structure or skeleton-like framework in which the various elements and members which comprise it are connected with one another at their ends by means of link connections (8,9) which in combination with the structure of the referenced ends constitute ball and socket articulations. The link connections are formed by two spheres 8a connected by a radial appendix 8b, over which is injected the integrating material making up the semispherical catches 9, constructed in the ends of the elements or members of the skeleton-like framework. The improvements are applicable in the manfuacture of articulated structures for dolls which permit stable and voluntary positioning of their members or connecting parts. <IMAGE>

Title: Chromatographic assay device, test kit and method of use
Inventor: CHANDLER HOWARD MILNE
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 1994-03-31
Abstract: A chromatographic assay device for use with immunoassays allows rapid and convenient assays of analytes of biological interest, and permits extractions to be carried out in situ, avoiding the use of separate extraction vessels. The device has a wide dynamic range and avoids interference from particulates or colored components. In one form, the device comprises: (1) a first opposable component comprising a sample preparation zone adapted to receive a sample to be assayed; and (2) a second opposable component comprising a chromatographic medium. The first and second opposable components can be brought into opposition so as to cause the sample preparation zone to apply the sample to be tested to the chromatographic medium. Preferably, the analyte is detected with a visually detectable label. Other variations of the device vary the arrangement of components to provide optimal chromatography for a variety of analytes, as well as to permit bidirectional chromatography; still other variations are suitable for competitive immunoassays. The devices can be incorporated in test kits, and assay methods, both sandwich and competitive, using the devices are also disclosed.

Inventor: HANSEN OLE
IPC: B42F13/00
Filed: 1997-03-25
Abstract: In a pocket of flexible sheet material comprising: a) a plurality of holes placed adjacent at least one edge of said pocket and adapted for releasable engagement with means capable of penetrating said holes, the main novel feature is b) that for each hole, a slit extends from said edge into the hole, each slit being rectilinear and opening tangentially into the hole concerned at the part of said hole lying most distant from said edge, the region adjacent said edge and in which said holes are formed being reinforced. With this arrangement, the pocket can be inserted into and removed from a loose-leaf ring binder without opening the rings by carrying out a simple procedure, at the same time ensuring that the pocket will not be pulled out inadvertingly, such as by weight of heavy documents in the pocket. It is also possible to use the pocket in a ring binder in which the rings are not adapted to be opened.

Title: System and method for providing enhanced services for a telecommunication call
Inventor: CHRISTIE JOSEPH M
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1997-11-10
Abstract: A system and method to provide enhanced services for a call that is transported from a communication device (106) through an asynchronous transfer mode system, has user communications (124) in asynchronous transfer mode cells and call signaling (116).  A signaling processor (110) receives the call signaling and processes the call signaling to determine a connection to a service platform (112).  The signaling processor transports a processor control message (120) designating the selected connection.  An asynchronous transfer mode interworking unit (114) receives the user communication from the communication device and the processor control message from the signaling processor.  The asynchronous transfer mode interworking unit converts the user communications from the asynchronous transfer mode cells to a format compatible with the service platform and dynamically transports the user communications to the service platform in real time.  The service platform processes the user communications.
