Title: Screw
Inventor: SCHLAPFER FRIDOLIN J
IPC: F16B33/02
Filed: 1998-11-26
Granted: 2002-01-03
Abstract: The central portion of the screw according to the invention has a series of segments varying in diameter, typically having a segment located near the screw head with a large diameter, a segment located near the front portion with a small diameter, and intermediate segments tapering in the direction of the segment with the small diameter.

Title: Improvements in microwave heating
Inventor: KEEFER RICHARD MACKAY
IPC: B65D81/34
Filed: 1988-11-17
Granted: 1991-07-18
Abstract: A susceptor for use in the heating of a foodstuff or other material in a microwave oven is constructed to have at least two regions (12,14) which are each adapted to couple with and absorb microwave energy for the generation of heat in such regions, which heat is then radiatively and conductively transferred to the material. The invention is characterised by one such region (12) having a different lossiness from the other (14), the regions being contiguous with each other. They preferably have a stepwise discontinuity of lossiness between them, which causes higher order mode or modes of microwave energy to be generated or accentuated. The susceptor may be a separate panel or may be a wall component, e.g. the bottom, of a container or utensil, or a removable cover therfor.

Title: Method of predicting the ability of compounds to modulate the biological activity of receptors
Inventor: PAIGE LISA A
IPC: G01N33/15
Filed: 1999-03-26
Granted: 2004-02-12
Abstract: The ability of a query compound to modulate the biological activity of a receptor in a multicellular organism is predicted on the basis of its interaction with that receptor in the presence of various member of a panel of BioKeys. The BioKeys are ligands, especially peptides or nucleic acids, known to modify the conformation of the receptor. This interaction data, known as a "fingerprint", is compared to the fingerprints for reference compounds with known biological activities mediated by that receptor. In the "molecular braille" (MB) embodiment of the present invention, the reference and test fingerprints are based on in vitro (cell-free) assays. In the "cellular-braille" (CB) embodiment of the present invention, the reference and test fingerprints are based on cellular assays (but not on assays of whole multicellular organisms, or their organs or tissues).
