Title: Weapon aiming system
Inventor: LOUGHEED JAMES H
IPC: F41G3/16
Filed: 1993-11-30
Abstract: A machine gun unit comprises a machine gun mounted to a support by a mounting permitting pivoting movement of the machine gun relative to the support in azimuth and/or elevation. Angle encoders provide position signals representing angular displacement of the machine gun relative to the support. An aiming system comprises a sensor, for example a CCD sensor, which provides a video signal representing a field of view for the aiming system, a display device for displaying the field of view, a manual input interface, a graphics artifact generator, and a digital signal processor (DSP). The DSP monitors the outputs of the angle encoders and controls the graphics artifact generator to combine the output of the graphics artifact generator with the output of the CCD sensor for display by the display device. Various graphics artifacts can be provided. Masks may be provided for delimiting field of fire. A cursor may be repositioned to reflect superelevation requirements. Target motion and opposing fire can be detected and highlighted. Tracers can be simulated. The weapon can also be used for surveillance, either alone or as part of a weapon system comprising a plurality of the weapons and a central command post.

Inventor: BRIDGES IAN G
IPC: C12N15/29
Filed: 1992-07-01
Abstract: The chemically-inducible 27 kD subunit of the enzyme glutathione-S-transferase, isoform II (GST-II-27) and sequences encoding it are provided. In particular, a genomic DNA sequence encoding the gene promoter for the GST-II-27 subunit is pro-vided.

IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 1994-01-20
Abstract: A method and system for the enhanced efficiency of data transfers  from memory  to  multiple processors  in  a  data processing system. Each of the multiple processors has an associated buffer for storing data transferred via a common bus which couples the processors and memory together. Each of the multiple processors continually monitors the common bus and is capable of asserting a selected control signal in response to an attempted activity of another one of the multiple  processors  which  would  violate  data  coherency within the data processing system during a particular period of  time  following  the  attempted  activity.   Data  is transferred from memory to a buffer associated with one of the multiple processors and stored in the buffer in response to a request from the processor associated with the buffer prior to expiration of the particular period of time and prior to a determination of whether or not this transfer will result in a possible data coherency problem. The common bus is continually monitored during the particular period of time. Transfer of the data from the buffer to the processor is prohibited in response to a presence on the common bus of the  selected  control  signal  prior  to  expiration  of  the particular of time. Transfer of the data from the buffer to the processor is permitted in response to an absence on the common bus of the selected control signal.

Title: High concentration homogenized collagen compositions
Inventor: CHU GEORGE
IPC: C08L89/06
Filed: 1993-02-16
Abstract: High concentration collagen compositions having improved persistence when administered for soft tissue augmentation are prepared from both cross-linked and non-cross-linked collagen starting materials. Suspensions of the starting materials are subjected to vigorous mechanical disruption to reduce the average collagen fiber size to below a threshold level which enhances the injectability of the composition. Thus, both enhanced injectability and enhanced persistence may be achieved using the same formulations.
