Title: Monoclonal antibody specific for the adhesion function domain of a phagocyte cell surface protein
Inventor: SCHLOSSMAN STUART F
IPC: C12P21/08
Filed: 1988-05-02
Granted: 1991-10-24
Abstract: A hybrid cell line is developed which produces a monoclonal antibody which binds to a unique antigenic site expressed on the surface of phagocytic cells.

Title: Cable television spread spectrum data transmission apparatus
Inventor: PIDGEON REZIN E JR
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 1989-04-28
Granted: 1991-11-07
Abstract: Apparatus for transmitting data spread across at least a portion of the bandwidth of a cable television channel comprises a carrier signal oscillator, a frequency divider, a pseudorandom sequence generator and two exclusive OR gates. A first exclusive OR gate serves to spread a data signal across the pseudorandom noise sequence generator having a much higher chip rate than the bit rate of the data signal. The second exclusive OR gate modulates the spread spectrum data signal to a carrier frequency for transmission over the cable television channel. The apparatus may be applied for return path transmission in the 0-30 megahertz band which is high susceptible to interference noise and provides approximately a 20 dB signal to interference ratio advantage over known data coding and transmission schemes. A microprocessor normally present in a cable television terminal may format data for transmission, control the spread spectrum modulation process and control gain control circuitry for introducing an appropriate power level into the cable plant.

Abstract: Described herein is an endoscopic instrument such as a dissector, scissor or grasper in which there is provided a shaft which defines a longitudinal axis of the instrument. This shaft is able to rotate about the handle portion of the instrument. This mechanism also provides for articulation of the end effectors with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. This articulation is accomplished by causing angulation of the end effector with respect to the shaft. Because driving the cable is accomplished around any such angle, the end effectors continue to be able to operate. There is disclosed herein a locking mechanism which allows the rotational aspect of the device to operate to rotate the entire articulating mechanism.
