Abstract: A control apparatus (CA) produces an electrical signal representative of the position
of a manually-operable control member, such as an accelerator pedal (P). The apparatus
includes a rotary member (W) which simulates the position of the control member and which

Abstract: A balloon activated force concentrator for use in
cooperation with an inflatable angioplasty balloon
includes at least one elongated flexible panel, an
elongated cutting blade mounted on the outside surface of
the elongated flexible panel, and an elastic circular
band attached to each end of the elongated flexible panel
for securing the elongated flexible panel to an
angioplasty balloon. Use of this balloon activated force
concentrator requires mounting the device on an
inflatable angioplasty balloon by inserting the distal
end of the angioplasty balloon through one of the
circular bands. The balloon activated force concentrator
is then advanced over the balloon until the second
circular band reaches the distal end of the balloon. At
that point, the elasticity of the circular bands straddle
the balloon to retain the activated force concentrator
securely against the outer surface of the angioplasty
balloon.

Inventor: COMBADIERE CHRISTOPHE
IPC: C12N15/12
Filed: 1997-05-28
Abstract: The susceptibility of human macrophages to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection depends on cell surface expression of the human CD4 molecule and CC cytokine receptor 5. CCR5 is a member of the 7-transmembrane segment superfamily of G-protein-coupled cell surface molecules. CCR5 plays an essential role in the membrane fusion step of infection by some HIV isolates. The establishment of stable, nonhuman cell lines and transgenic mammals having cells that coexpress human CD4 and CCR5 provides valuable tools for the continuing research of HIV infection. In addition, antibodies which bind to CCR5, CCR5 variants, and CCR5-binding agents, capable of blocking membrane fusion between HIV and target cells represent potential anti-HIV therapeutics for macrophage-tropic strains of HIV.

a small gap (X) is formed between an outer peripheral surface
of the second cylindrical portion, and an inner peripheral
surface of the first cylindrical portion and an end (102C) of
the seal member. Further, the first and second cylindrical
portions are overlapped in a longitudinal direction of the
rotation shaft by a predetermined length (L). Thus, the door
is air-tightly connected to the case around the rotation shaft,
while it can prevent an operation force of the door from
increasing.
