Date May 30, 1996A crown-and-root reconstruction assembly made of a composite materials with a modulus of elasticity varying along a gradient. The assembly comprises a physiological securing post (4) and a crown reconstruction base (1) made of partially or completely light-conducting material. The connection between the crown reconstruction base (1) and the post (4) is achieved by polymerising the material of the base under an isostatic charge. The forming process may be completed by manipulating the material with the fingers through a forming membrane (22) to prevent any gap developing at the interface (10) between the root (8) and the crown reconstruction base (1). A helical arrangement of the fibers (5) of the post (4) ensures that the modulus of elasticity is close to that of the natural dentine, regardless of the angle of incidence at the reconstruction is stressed.

Abstract: A drain flow control assembly (43,300) for liquids draining from a sink (12,312) or the like to a reservoir (38,238) having a given liquid level (60,213). The flow control assembly (43,300) includes a downtube (104,204,304) with its inlet opening above the level of the liquid (60,213) and its outlet below the liquid level (60,213), a divider plate (112,212,306) surrounding the outlet opening and extending radially outwardly of the opening a distance equal to at least twice the diameter of the downtube opening. The assembly also includes a radially smaller, imperforate deflector plate (114,214,308) positioned beneath and spaced closely apart from the divider plate (112,212,306) so as to form a radially extending transfer space (123) between the two plates. When the assembly is positioned in a liquid-containing reservoir (38,238) with the downtube outlet below the upper surface of the liquid (60,213), liquid flows vertically through the downtube outlet opening and then horizontally through the radial transfer space (213). The flow through the transfer space (213) serves to separate entrained particulate matter disposed in the liquid (40,240), and the divider plate (112,212,306) serves to separate the reservoir (38,238) into a lower, particulate matter settling region (125), and an upper region of quiescent, clarified liquid (126). <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The application concerns a method of identifying compounds that can be used to inhibit undesired human CD4+ T cell immune responses by identifying compounds that block the interaction of CD4 and MHC, class II, gene products and a method of treatment which comprises administering such an identified compound. The compounds that inhibit undesired human CD4+ T cell immune responses can be used to treat disease such as multiple sclerosis and to prevent graft rejection and graft versus host disease. More specifically, the application concerns compounds having molecular weights between about 1400 and 400 that mimic three portions of the human CD4 lymphocyte cell surface antigen. The portions are residues 29-35, the C-C' loop of the D1 domain; residues 317-323, the C-C' loop of the D4 domain; and residues 346-353, the CDR3 or FG ridge of the D4 domain of the CD4 molecule. Specific examples of such compounds include cyclic peptides and peptidomimetic.

Abstract: A method of detecting environmental stress in plants, particular water stress in cotton plants is based on a hot dilute acid extraction of plant tissues such as cotton fibers. The extracts are analyzed by high pH anion exchange chromatography to separate and characterize the carbohydrates. This method extracts a characteristic series of carbohydrate multimers containing galactose, mannose and glucose. The pattern of multimers is indicative of growth stress during the formation of the plant tissue. In addition, similar multimers can be extracted from textiles and are indicative of textile wear and can be used to determine which manufacturing treatment will improve fabric life.

Abstract: A process for the fabrication of polymer layers structured in three dimensions, such as of lenses, which are applied to the end of optical fibers or of laser light sources. Dry resist that is polymerizable through exposure is used as a base substance. The dry resist is applied to a substrate and is exposed with a dose apportionment that is predefined as a function of space and time in a structure region. The structure region is precalculated with submicrometer precision using image-processing methods and exhibits the form of the desired lens. The lens-shaped structure region that is polymerized through exposure is removed from the unexposed dry resist. The process of the present invention makes it possible to place lenses on an optical fiber or a laser with submicrometer precision.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for analysing the most important environmentally relevant substances such as CO,HC and NO in exhaust fumes from motor vehicles, based the principle of IR gas absorption. Measuring signals and a reference signal are picked up along an optical measuring distance (special steel tube) using an infrared source and a detector and a measuring value is determined by forming quotients. The OBM system consists of modular components such as a removal device, an exhaust gas processor, an analysis device and an evaluation unit which are integrated into the construction of the motor vehicle. Vibratory conditions in the motor vehicle are compensated by a robust design structure and correction of temperature drift by forming a first derivation and adjustment of the signal height by electronically adjustable amplification regulation. Other correction options are calibration of the zero line with ambient air during switching operations in addition to the creation of a range of tolerance around the noise signals in the detector. The measuring system is to be fitted in the future in all motor vehicles as an addition to the existing OBD (On board Diagnosis) system. Retrofitting devices can be used for older vehicles.
