Title: Unsaturated polysiloxanes, polymerizable compositions and contact lenses thereof
Inventor: MUELLER KARL FRIEDRICH
IPC: C08L83/12
Filed: 1985-09-23
Granted: 1989-06-15
Abstract: Polysiloxanes of uniform molecular weight (MW) distribution with 500-10,000 MW segments of polysiloxane and containing at least one vinyl group connected to said polysiloxane segments through intervening alkylene-urea or -urethane linkages are prepared from polysiloxane-polyols, -polyamines or -polythiols by reaction with an unsaturated compound containing an isocyanato moiety, for example 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate. The polysiloxanes containing the vinyl groups are useful as radiation- or thermally curable coatings for glass, textiles, plastics, wood, ceramics, metals, as films or bandages for medicinal purposes, or molded shapes, in form of contact lenses, catheters or implants, either by themselves or in combination with other vinyl monomers; and are particularly useful in preparing hard or soft contact lenses, including hydrogel contact lenses.

Title: Ophthalmic lens package
Inventor: ABRAMS RICHARD
IPC: G02C7/04
Filed: 1993-12-15
Granted: 1996-05-30
Abstract: An ophthalmic lens package for inspection, sterilization, and delivery of the lens having a substantial planar first surface with a concave bowl, the bowl having a radius of curvature larger than the radius of the lens placed inside the bowl allowing the lens to center and settle in the middle of the bowl. About the bowl is an annular sealing area, preferably a planar annulus raised above the first planar surface away from the bowl, circumferentially about the circular boundary of the first planar surface and the concave bowl. The package is hermetically sealed along the sealing area with a sealing sheet substantially parallel with the first planar surface and covering the concave bowl. The package is constructed of a non-nucleated polymer so that when water is placed in the bowl, the polymer surface is sufficiently wettable to substantially flatten the water meniscus in the center and thereby eliminate associated optical aberrations, permitting undistorted in-package inspection.

Title: IL-9 receptor variants, useful in treating and diagnosing atopic allergies including asthma and related disorders
Inventor: LEVITT ROY CLIFFORD
IPC: C12N15/11
Filed: 1997-12-02
Granted: 2002-05-02
Abstract: This invention relates to the diagnosis, treatment and methods for discovery of new therapeutics for atopic asthma and related disorders based on variants of Asthma Associated Factor (2). One embodiment of the invention is a variant of AAF2, wherein codon 173 is deleted resulting in the loss of glutamine 173 from the mature protein precursor. This single amino acid deletion results in a non-functional AAF2 protein and therefore the presence of this phenotype should be associated with less evidence of atopic asthma. Correspondingly, the lack of susceptibility to an asthmatic, atopic phenotype is characterized by the loss of glutamine at codon 173. The invention includes isolated DNA molecules which are variants of the wild type sequence as well as the proteins encoded by such DNA and the use of such DNA molecules and expressed protein in the diagnosis and treatment of atopic asthma.

Granted: 1984-09-06
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE80/00133 Sec. 371 Date May 4, 1982 Sec. 102(e) Date May 4, 1982 PCT Filed Sep. 10, 1980 PCT Pub. No. WO82/00902 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 18, 1982.The invention relates to a method for improving the delineation in color image reproduction by means of a partial, electronic retouch. The color values of the individual color separations gained by means of image point-wise, trichromatic color image scanning and digitization are deposited in a storage medium (1). In order to improve the delineation, the color values of a color separation are altered image point-wise by means of selectable quotas of the image point-wise allocated color values of at least one other color separation. The quotas of the color values respectively represent the smallest amount of change for the color values of the color separation to be partially retouched. A retouch factor is determined for each color value of an image point to be retouched which is marked by the retoucher by means of the coordinate pen (51) of a coordinate identifier device (50; 51; 52), said retouch factor specifying the degree of retouch as a plurality of the change amounts to be added per image point. Locus-dependent correction values for the color values of the color separation to be retouched are calculated from the change amounts and from the retouch factors. For the purpose of visual control, the unretouched or retouched image is displayed on a monitor (2).

Patent DE-1965235-B2 (DE)
Title: Connector for selectively joining conductors crossing orthogonally - is flat hairpin shaped spring element bisecting angle between conductors
IPC: H02B1/20
Filed: 1969-12-29
Abstract: Programmable connectors are employed, for example, in telephone and data processing installations to make permanent contacts between two conductor systems crossing at ring angles. They thus act as a permanent information store. The connector is fitted with contact elements in selected locations to give the desired code. Each contact element comprises a hair pin shaped spring (3) located in a slot in the connector body. The jaws of the spring make contact between the conductors (2), which cross at right angles, in a position which bisects the angle between the conductors. This arrangement of the elements gives relatively even contact pressure on all the conductors, and is also effective where round conductors are employed.
