Patent EP-0605522-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HOOGENBOOM HENDRICUS RENERUS J
IPC: C07K16/00
Filed: 1992-09-23
Abstract: Methods are disclosed which may be used for the production of antibodies, or antibody fragments, which have the same binding specificity as a parent antibody but which have increased human characteristics. Humanised antibodies may be obtained by chain shuffling, perhaps using phage display technology. In one embodiment, a polypeptide comprising a heavy or light chain variable domain of a non-human antibody specific for an antigen of interest is combined with a repertoire of human complementary (light or heavy) chain variable domains. Hybrid pairings which are specific for the antigen of interest are selected. Human chains from the selected pairings may then be combined with a repertoire of human complementary variable domains (heavy or light) and humanised antibody polypeptide dimers can then be selected for binding specificity for antigen. The methods may be combined with CDR-imprinting. In another embodiment, component part of an antigen-binding site of a non-human antibody known to bind a particular antigen is combined with a repertoire of component parts of an antigen-binding site of human antibody, forming a library of antibody polypeptide dimers with antigen-binding sites. Hybrids selected from this library may be used in a second humanising shuffling step, or may already be of sufficient human character to be of value, perhaps after some modification to increase human character still further.

Title: Closure prosthesis for transcatheter placement
Inventor: PAVCNIK DUSAN
IPC: A61B17/12
Filed: 1992-11-25
Abstract: A closure prosthesis and transcatheter delivery system are disclosed, wherein the closure prosthesis seals across an opening of a fluid passageway within a living body. The closure prosthesis is a flexible disk (10) including a flexible ring (12) and diaphragm (14) having a plurality of hollow flexible wire segments (18) attached thereto. Delivery of the closure prosthesis is accomplished using a hollow sheath (26) and a pusher catheter (28) slidable within the sheath, wherein filaments are looped through the wire segments to releasably connect the disk to the pusher catheter. The disk is resiliently compressed within the sheath and, upon release therefrom, the disk resiliently expands into a larger, unrestrained shape. Tension applied to the filaments resiliently bends the wire segments so that they may be drawn through the opening of the defect. Upon releasing the filaments from the disk, the wire segements resiliently expand to trap the disk in place to seal across the opening.

Abstract: The invention makes use of fluctuations in the quality factor (Q) of an oscillation circuit (S) that occur when an object comes into the vicinity of an electrode (10) as a means of detecting the presence or absence of the object. The invention comprises an electrode (10), which is set on the edge of a detection field, a supplementary device (20) which, together with the electrode (10), forms an oscillation circuit (S), and a Q detection device (30), which detects fluctuations in the quality factor of the oscillation circuit (S). The object detection device of the invention dispenses with the need for a frequency detection circuit and this simplifies the overall configuration. The device is thus more compact, less expensive and easier to use than conventional object detection devices while at the same time ensuring detection of the presence or absence of objects in the detection field.

Abstract: Method for calling stations from a central station, using the content of an address memory (110) and arrangement for carrying out the method. To be able to manage with the shortest possible response waiting time between the call messages without accepting collisions, address-individual response waiting times are stored in the address memory. When a station does not respond, the next call is transmitted after the response waiting time stored with respect to the relevant address has elapsed. The response waiting times can be obtained by measurement or determined from the network structure. The method can be advantageously used for monitoring transmission devices in electrical and/or optical communication technology. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is a recording apparatus for performing recording such that a carriage mounted with a recording head moves along a guide shaft. The recording apparatus includes a magnetic linear encoder consisting of a scale element magnetized and a detection unit for detecting magnetized information magnetized to the scale element. Provided also are clicks formed on any one of the detection unit and the carriage and click engaging portions formed in the other one of the detection unit and the carriage. The clicks engage with the click engaging portions, whereby the detection unit is snap-locked to the carriage. This enables the detection unit of the magnetic linear encoder to be readily attached to the carriage and besides, when attached, prevents disorder of the information magnetized to the scale element. Further, even when a position of the carriage shifts corresponding to sheets having different thicknesses, a sliding load of the carriage does not change. A deformation and abrasion of the scale element of the magnetic linear encoder are restrained as much as possible. Moreover, the abrasion of bearings of a head of the magnetic linear encoder is eliminated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plasma-generating device for treating substrates in a vacuum chamber, such as for example a magnetron sputtering source for coating substrates, or for example a magnetron etching device for sputter-etching substrates. The plasma-generating device comprises an electron trap, supported by a magnetic field, for achieving high plasma densities and thus high treatment rats. According to the invention, at least one pole of the tunnel base point of the tunnel-shaped magnetic field which forms in the area of the cathode surface is displaced, or moved, along at least a part region of a longitudinal tunnel axis transverse to the axis. In this way, the mean plasma density distribution above the sputtering source is specifically influenced, by means of which the erosion profile of the target surface or the distribution profile of the sputtered material can be influenced as desired. The invention creates a device which permits, for example, high target utilisations to be achieved in sputtering sources in a simple and cost-advantageous manner. <IMAGE>
