Abstract: A winding mechanism for controlling the retraction and deployment of an architectural covering, such as a window blind or shade having a winding element 12, about which the covering, or its lift cord or tapes are wound and unwound with rotation of the winding element about a first axis of rotation, and a fluid brake 40 for retarding the rotation of the winding element in at least one direction about the first axis. The fluid brake comprises a fluid tight compartment 42 containing a liquid and an impeller 46. The compartment and the impeller are adapted for relative rotation about a second axis, which can be the same as or coaxial with the first axis. Either the compartment or the impeller is operatively connected to the winding element. In operation the liquid rotates with the rotation of the compartment or the impeller about the second axis. Rotation of the liquid relative to the impeller or to the compartment in at least a first direction about the second axis is effective to retard the rotation of the winding element in at least a second direction about the first axis. The impeller 46, or a peripheral wall surface 43 of the compartment 42 has a first surface 49B that extends generally radially and substantially parallel with respect to the second axis. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The locking mechanism, e.g. for a wheeled waste bin which is emptied by tipping, comprises a pivoted component (10) inside the lid (2) in the form of a two-armed lever with a weight (17). The non-weighted arm of the lever has a hole (15) in it engaging with a projection (16) on the inside of the bin so that the lid is held closed while the bin is tilted and remains closed until a certain angle is reached. The weight then turns the lever, disengaging it from the projection, allowing the lid to swing open on its hinge and the contents to drop out. The lower, non-weighted arm of the lever is in three linked sections describing one side of a hexagon with its concave side facing towards the inside of the bin. The lock can also incorporate a mechanism which allows the bin owner to open it with a key.

Abstract: Novel binding assay techniques have been developed which improve accuracy and sensitivity via accounting for interfering factors. They rely on use, in a simultaneous incubation, of two or more different labels, some of which are used primarily to detect analyte, and others to detect interfering substances originating in the sample. The mathematical relationships between the labels allow corrections that lead to more accurate and sensitive determination of the presence and concentration of the analyte.

Abstract: The vaccines and methods of the present invention are based on deletion mutations in the protein transmembrane domains of membrane-enveloped viruses. The strategy for production of these mutations is based on the fact that unlike mammalian cell membranes, the membranes of insect cells contain no cholesterol; thus are thinner than mammalian membranes. Many membrane-coated viruses have membrane glycoproteins on their surface which are responsible for identifying and infecting target cells. These membrane glycoproteins have hydrophobic membrane-spanning domains which anchor the proteins in the membrane bilayer. The membrane-spanning domains of these transmembrane proteins must be long enough to reach from one side of the bilayer to the other in order to hold the proteins in the membrane. Provided is a vaccine, a method of producing this vaccine, and a method of using this vaccine, based on the differences between membranes of viruses replicated in invertebrates and membranes of viruses replicated in vertebrates.

Abstract: An analogue signal, such as a broadband TV signal from a CATV system is input at 1.  The signal is mixed with a pilot tone which has frequency well below the e lowest frequency in the signal.  The signal is fed to an electro-optical modulator 7 which has two complementary outputs 11, 12.  A portion of each of the two outputs is sampled at 10, 13.  The second harmonic component of the pilot tone are extracted from the two samples and the two components are fed to algebraic adder 23 to produce a difference signal.  The difference signal leaving the adder 23 is fed to analog multiplier 28, where the difference signal is compared with a signal from doubler 31 that is double the frequency of the pilot tone.  The output of the multiplier is fed to differential amplifier 25 which compares the signal with the output of a bias reference signal 26.  The output of amplifier 25 is fed to adder 24 where it is mixed with the pilot tone.  The resultant signal is used to control the modulator 7.  Effectively, the distortion of the pilot tone in the output is used to provide a pre-distortion in the modulator.

Abstract: A milling cutter using a wedge to secure an insert within a pocket of the milling cutter wherein the wedge is tapered in both the axial direction and the radial direction. A screw urges the wedge within a tapered cavity to press the insert within the pocket along the axial wedge angle while rotation of the cutter creates centrifugal forces urging the wedge radially outward, thereby forcing the wedge against the radial wedge surface to further compress the insert within the pocket. The insert pocket may be extended to radially encompass the insert, thereby providing additional support against centrifugal forces for the insert.
