Abstract: A substance capable of devitalizing hazardous biological agents and deactivating hazardous chemical agents comprising an activateed anion exchange resin having a particle size substantially in the range of about 0.1-300 microns, which resin particles have been iodinated by exposure to a sufficient amount of an iodine-substance absorbable by the anion exchange resin such that the resin particles absorb the iodine-substance so as to convert the resin particles into activated resin particles. The iodine-substance may be selected from the group consisting of I2 (i.e., diatomic iodine), and polyiodide ions having a valence of - 1. The activated resin particles may be placed into contact with the biological or chemical agent as a dry aerosol, by dust coating, or by admixing the particles with a carrier to form a coating.

Inventor: O'NEILL WILLIAM
IPC: A63B69/36
Filed: 2000-11-23
Abstract: A plurality of peel and stick labels is disclosed which are from contact type material and to a predetermined height and width. Each label includes a carbon based transfer surface on one side thereof and an attaching surface, on the obverse side, coated with a light tack self adhesive. This is a device which clearly indicates where the golf club face has made contact with the golf ball. The indicia device is comprised of a layer of non-permanent, erasable coloured material which is transferred to the face of a golf club at the moment the club face makes contact with the golf ball. The impact mark on the face of the golf club consists of an indicia imprint that indicates the angle the club face has made with the golf ball and the location of the strike on the face of the club. The transferred coating indicates the point of impact such that one can determine the angle the horizontal bottom of the club makes with the vertical tee and object ball. The non-permanent indicator imprint will be easily removed from the club face with a tissue or a finger. The adhesive backed indicator strip when applied to the golf tee, golf ball or the golf tee supporting a golf ball allows the indicia to be transferred to the face of the golf club at impact to denote the exact point of contact between club and ball.

Abstract: A tilt compensation method, circuit and apparatus (Figs. 5 and 8) utilizes a two axis tilt sensor or two single axis tilt sensors (40; 132) for alerting a user and/or compensating a surveying instrument (10) for off vertical alignment above a reference point when the instrument support is free to move about the reference point e.g., when mounted on a monopod support (14). The sensor comprises a cell having a central electrode and four peripheral electrodes (54a, 54b, 54c, 54d) spaced 90 degrees apart around the central electrode. A microprocessor (42; 112) preferably provides a square wave drive signal selectively to alternate pairs of the opposing electrodes through tristate buffers (72) while at the same time the microprocessor (42; 112) provides a channel select signal (64) to the gate of the tristate buffers to float the idle electrodes. The signal on the central electrode is fed to an ADC (70) and then to the microprocessor (42). The microprocessor preferably produces an alarm signal (50) if the tilt is more than a user determined value.

Title: Method and kit for detecting resistance to antiviral drugs
Inventor: FOLKS THOMAS M
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1999-06-18
Abstract: An assay and kit for the detection of phenotypic resistance of a retrovirus to a reverse transcriptase inhibitor drug in a biological sample. The assay is based on the direct analysis of the susceptibility of retroviral reverse transcriptase to inhibition by a reverse transcriptase inhibitor drug. The enzymatic activity of the reverse transcriptase is determined by measuring the DNA product produced when an RNA  template and a first complementary DNA primer from a suitable region of the encephalomyocarditis virus genome are incubated with a biological sample containing reverse transcriptase in the presence of the drug to which resistance is being determined. The incubation mixture is reacted under conditions whereby the RNA template and the DNA  primer will anneal and a DNA strand will be synthesized as an extension from the DNA primer if the reverse transcriptase in the sample is resistant to and not inhibited by the drug. The DNA  product is amplified using a second complementary DNA primer from the encephalomyocarditis virus genome and suitable PCR reagents and conditions, and the amplified product detected in accordance with methods known to those skilled in the art. Detection of the amplified DNA indicates resistance to the drug employed in the assay.

Title: Two-axis cursor control apparatus
Inventor: YU YAT SHUN DAMIEN
IPC: G06F3/0354
Filed: 2001-01-29
Abstract: A reduced-size cursor control apparatus includes a spherical ball; two rotors in contact with the spherical ball and two corresponding axles; two screw devices associated with each rotor-axle pair, each screw device having a continuous helical thread; and a plurality of light sensors, each associated with a screw device.  When the spherical ball is rotated by the user, its motion about each axis of rotation is translated to one of the screw devices by means of the corresponding rotor-axle pair. The rotation of the screw devices causes the helical thread on each to momentarily interrupt the light beam generated by each sensor at least once during each revolution of the screw device, thereby generating a signal which is translated into two-dimensional motion of a cursor on an electronic display screen.

Title: Methods and apparatus for selecting multiple paths taking into account shared risk
Inventor: PIEDA PETER STEVEN
IPC: H04L45/24
Filed: 2001-06-14
Abstract: Methods, systems, computer readable media are provided which facilitate the selection of multiple paths through a network represented by a network topology which take into account shared risk which may exist between network resources. The method involves identifying a first path through the network topology from a source node to a destination node, the first path comprising a first sequence of network resources. For at least one shared risk group, a determination is made if any of the at least one shared risk group includes any of the first sequence of network resources, a shared risk group being a group of network resources within the network topology which have a shared risk. A topology transformation is performed of the network topology into a virtual topology which discourages the use of network resources in any shared risk group determined. A second path through the virtual topology is identified from the source node to the destination. The method may be adapted to encourage node and/or edge disjointness.
