Title: Metallic glass alloys for mechanically resonant marker surveillance systems
Inventor: MARTIS RONALD
IPC: H01F1/153
Filed: 1996-04-12
Granted: 2007-07-03
Abstract: A glassy metal alloy consists essentially of the formula Co a Fe b Ni c M d B e S if C g, where M is selected from molybdenum and chromium and "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" "f"  and "g" are in atom percent, "a"  ranges from about 40 to about 43, "b" ranges from about 35 to about 42 and "c" ranges from 0 to about 5, "d" ranges from 0 to about 3, "e" ranges from about to about 25, "f" ranges from 0 to about 15 and "g" ranges from 0 to about 2. The alloy can be cast by rapid solidification into ribbon, annealed to enhance magnetic properties thereof, and formed into a marker that is especially suited for use in magneto-mechanically actuated article surveillance systems.  Advantageously, the marker is characterized by relatively linear magnetization response in the frequency regime wherein harmonic marker systems operate magnetically. Voltage amplitudes detected for the marker are high, and interference between surveillance systems based on mechanical resonance and harmonic re-radiance is virtually eliminated.

Title: Method for conditioning fluidised bed combustor ashes
Inventor: ANTHONY EDWARD J
IPC: C04B18/06
Filed: 1997-12-15
Granted: 2005-05-03
Abstract: A process for hydrating CaO residues in fluidised bed combustor ashes that both achieves a better level of hydration, which does not add significantly to the cost of the hydration process, which reduces the consumption of water in the hydration process, and which if desired can trap at least some of the CO2 in the furnace gasses, by using some of it to convert the hydrated CaO to CaCO3. This both reduces the amount of CO2 released to the atmosphere, and converts the potentially dangerous Ca0 in the ashes into an effectively inert and benign material. The hydration reaction between the solid CaO containing ashes and water is activated sonochemically. By exposing the ash/water mixture to sound under the correct conditions of frequency, and power input it is possible to improve both the rate of hydration, and the level of hydration, of FBC ashes. The process can be carried out either batchwise or continuously, and does not require an extended time period.

Title: G-beta-gamma regulated phosphatidylinositol-3' kinase p101 regulatory subunit
Inventor: STEPHENS LEN
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 1997-06-26
Granted: 2010-05-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to the discovery, identification and characterization of nucleotides that encode the G protein regulated phosphatidylinositol-3' kinase, a heterodimeric enzyme which produces the intracellular messenger phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-triphosphate in response to activation of trimeric G protein-linked receptors. This novel protein, comprised of a catalytic subunit, p120, and a regulatory subunit, p101, is found in cells of hematopoietic origin and is involved in immune system responses which cause inflammation. The presence of p101 subunit is largely responsible of the dramatic stimulation of kinase activity in the presence of activated trimeric G proteins. The invention encompasses p101 and p120 nucleotides, host cells expression systems, p101 and p120 proteins, fusion proteins, polypeptides and peptides, antibodies to these proteins, transgenic animals that express a p101 or p 120 transgene, or recombinant knock-out cells and animals that do not express the p101 or p120 gene, antagonists and agonists of the enzyme, and other compounds that modulate p101 or p120 gene expression or enzyme activity that can be used for diagnosis, drug screening, clinical trial monitoring, and/or treatment of inflammatory disorders.
