Title: Dengue viruses that are replication defective in mosquitos for use as vaccines
Inventor: ZENG LINGLING
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 1999-02-05
Granted: 2004-06-17
Abstract: The present invention is directed toward vector stage replication-defective flaviviruses that are replication-defective in mosquisto vectors that transmit them to human. Such mutant flaviviruses may be useful as vaccines. The replication-defective flaviviruses of the present invention demonstrate a limited ability to replicate in the vector organisms that transmit flaviviruses from one host to another. More specifically, the present invention is directed toward the construction and propagation of flaviviruses that possess 3'-noncoding regions altered in such a way as to prevent or severely limit viral reproduction in a vector organism. In one embodiment of the present invention, a replication-defective dengue virus that is replication-defective in arthropods is contemplated for use as a vaccine. In another embodiment, a replication-defective dengue virus that is replication-defective in mosquitos is contemplated for use as a vaccine. The present invention also contemplates methods of producing such mutant flaviviruses for use as vaccines as well as methods that induce a protective immunity against flavivirus infection or disease in an immunized subject.

Title: Diver's microphone mask
Inventor: STONE MARK
IPC: B63C11/18
Filed: 1993-07-28
Granted: 1996-10-03
Abstract: A microphone mask to be worn in front of the mouth of an underwater diver has a microphone assembly and a teethpiece assembly mounted in a rubber waterproof enclosure. The enclosure has an air passage extending from an inlet opening to a rear outlet opening. The teethpiece assembly includes a plastic insert with a vertical plate mounted in the enclosure. The vertical plate has openings for the air passage as well as to allow sound to travel from the diver's mouth to the microphone assembly. A teeth member extends rearwardly out of the outlet opening into the diver's mouth where it is held between the diver's teeth. The teeth member is connected to the insert by resilient spring members which draw the enclosure rearwardly against the diver's face. There is a sealing surface around the outlet opening, and this seals it around the outside of the diver's mouth. This eliminates the need for a headband and facilitates the use of the microphone mask for the combination of breathing and speaking.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/SE96/00187 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 13, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 13, 1997 PCT Filed Feb. 13, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/25655 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 22, 1996The invention relates to a device for obtaining, in the manufacture of a high-strength composite, an indication the reinforcement layer of the composite has been wetted throughout by the matrix material of the composite. The reinforcement layer is of the type which mainly consists of fibers or fiber bundles which do not become translucent or transparent when wetted by the matrix material, such as carbon or aramide fibers or fiber bundles. The matrix material of thermosetting plastic is applied in a liquid state in the manufacture according to, for instance, the technique of hand lay-up. The reinforcement layer includes indicating fibers which become translucent or transparent when wetted by the matrix material. A good indication is obtained if the indicating fibers have such properties that they become translucent only when the adjoining reinforcing material has been completely wetted throughout. Preferably the indicating fibres are uniformly distributed across the reinforcement layer and in an amount that does not affect the properties of the composite significantly.

Granted: 2002-04-18
Abstract: A liquid product carrying plastic film pouch (10) having a straw (12) free-floating in the liquid product (11) is described. The liquid product (11) contained within the inner chamber (13) of the pouch occupies from about 60 % to about 90 % of the volume of the inner chamber (13) of the pouch and a portion of air from the remaining volume is evacuated in sufficient quantity to permit the side walls (14, 15) of the pouch to be collapsed against one another when the pouch is grasped by the hand of a user person. By collapsing the side walls (14, 15) together the straw (12) located within the liquid can be grasped and manipulated to puncture the plastic film pouch (1) to extend a portion (12') of the straw (12) exteriorly of the pouch whereby to extract liquid therefrom. The pouch (10) is made of a multilayer resin film having an inner sealant layer (26) formed of a linear low density ethylene-octene copolymer or very low density ethylene copolymer (octene or other copolymers) such that when the straw punctures the film, the inner sealant layer (26) forms a membrane about the straw which exhibits a self-sealing behavior so as to prevent leakage in the punctured region as liquid is extracted from the pouch (10) through the straw (12). The machine and method of fabrication is also disclosed.

Title: Feedthrough coaxial cable connector
Inventor: MCMILLS COREY
IPC: H01R24/38
Filed: 1990-06-08
Granted: 1995-02-02
Abstract: A feedthrough coaxial cable connector includes a tubular mandrel body dimensioned to be pressed between a foil-bonded dielectric core and other elements of an outer conductor of the prepared end of the cable. The body has cable engagement surface which defines a knife edge projection therearound for engaging an outer conductor of the cable by creating shear stresses therein without actually shearing the outer conductor. A tubular shank portion extends from the cable engagement surface portion to a radial wall portion, and a jack engagement portion is coaxial about the exposed central conductor. The jack engagement portion achieves a tight friction fit upon a jack and may be formed as an inside compression collet. A radial compression providing structure causes an inside surface region of the outer conductor to bear directly against and bend over the knife edge portion. Preferably, a slideable shell is slideably positionable generally away from a connector end facing the outer surface of the jack to enable the jack engagement portion of the connector to slide over the outer surface of the jack, and slideably positionable toward the connector end so as to radially compress the radially diverging jack engagement portion against the outer surface of the jack to secure the connector thereto. A kit of parts including an expandable installation tool enables proper assembly of the cable connector without special skills or tools.

Title: Blade sharpener
Inventor: PETROFF CVETAN
IPC: B24B/
Filed: 1990-08-14
Granted: 1992-02-06
Abstract: A blade sharpener having a sharpening mechanism (11) which functions to sharpen a blade engaging that mechanism (11) and being moved longitudinally relative thereto. The sharpener also includes sharpening defeating means (20) which, when operative, at least inhibits and possibly prevents sharpening of a blade by the sharpening mechanism (11) when that blade is moved longitudinally through the sharpener in one direction. The defeating means (20) is responsive to blade movement so as to adopt an operative condition when the blade is moved in the aforementioned one direction, and to adopt an inoperative condition when the blade is moved through the sharpener in the opposite direction. The defeating means (20) includes a blade engaging member (21) such as a roller, and in the operative condition that roller (21) engages and presses against the cutting edge of the blade so as to impose a force on the blade which acts counter to the force causing the blade to engage the sharpening mechanism (11). The counter force therefore tends to push the blade out of contact with the sharpening mechanism (11). The roller (21) does not engage the blade, or at least does not apply the counter force, when the defeating means (20) is in the inoperative condition. An anti-bottoming groove (23) is provided around the circumferential surface of the roller (21) to provide a location for the cutting edge of the knife blade and that groove (23) is formed to avoid contact between the actual cutting edge of the blade and the base of the groove (23).
