Patent NO-175846-B (NO)
Inventor: SALK JONAS
IPC: C07K16/00
Filed: 1989-02-09
Abstract: The present invention provides a non-infectious immunogen containing retroviral particles devoid of outer envelope proteins or containing selected antigens isolated from a retrovirus. There is also provided a vaccine effective against HIV. In one aspect, the immunogen is useful for immunizing an individual previously infected by a retrovirus including HIV, so as to induce immunoprotective factors protective against progression of the infection. In another aspect, the vaccine is useful for vaccinating an individual not previously infected with HIV in order to prevent subsequently acquired infection. In another aspect, there is provided a method of rendering a viral immunogen non-infectious. The immunogen may also be used to produce antibodies for passive immunotherapy, alone or in conjunction with active immunotherapy, in individuals infected with a retrovirus, including HIV, preferably those individuals exhibiting low levels of antibodies to retroviral gene products other than the outer envelope.

Title: Sound actuated light switch
Inventor: TAYLOR J
IPC: H03K17/94
Filed: 1982-05-14
Abstract: A sound actuated switch including a microphone coupled via an audio amplifier to a reset circuit. When a sound of sufficient intensity is received by the microphone a reset signal is supplied to the counter portion of an oscillator and counter circuit. The counter then begins counting oscillations and produces an "on" control signal until a predetermined count is reached, at which time an "off" control signal is produced. The control signal is supplied to the gate of a switching triac in a switch circuit. The presence of the on control signal causes the switching triac to electrically connect an AC power source to a load, typically a light. A simple, high efficiency DC power supply is also disclosed.

Patent ZA-925718-B (ZA)
Title: Inhalation devices
Inventor: ARMSTRONG JOHN C
IPC: A61M15/08
Filed: 1992-07-30
Abstract: An oral or nasal inhalation device comprises an air passageway (22) optionally shaped as a venturi passing through a body (20). A holder (40) on the body receives a single dose powder container (60) containing a medicament. A piercer (26) or needle having a bore therethrough extends from the body into the holder. The user places the container and removes a seal on the top end of the container. Alternatively, the piercer is longer than the container and pierces both ends of it, obviating the need for a removable seal (62). A sharp inhalation causes air to be drawn through the air intake (27), creating a partial vacuum in the air passageway and causing the powder to be dispensed from the container through the bore of the piercer. Another embodiment has two piercers, each acting on an end of the container. Further embodiments make use of a rotable disk provided with multiple containers. <IMAGE>
