Abstract: This invention relates to a method for manufacturing laminated decorative plates. Specifically, an extruded copolyester film is used for bonding a veneer to core material. The veneer is bonded to core material by thermocompression or by radio frequency energy at a temperature that does not exceed 75 % of the melting point of the copolyester film in order to protect the veneer. This method prevents cracking or chipping of the veneer and allows boards with excellent adhesiveness to be produced.

Abstract: A novel class of cationic phospholipids and novel method for their synthesis are disclosed. The class of phospholipids comprises phosphotriester derivatives of phosphoglycerides and sphingolipids. It has been unexpectedly found that liposomes comprising one or more of these cationic phospholipids are effective in the lipofection of nucleic acids. These novel phospholipids are particularly attractive because of they are not only effective in lipofection, but are extremely cheap and easy to male.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for assembling a small number of custom sealed double glazing units in which spacers can have different widths and panes of different assemblies can be differently sized. In accordance with one method of the invention, a spacer having sealant on opposing surfaces thereof is adhered to a first glass pane and a resilient member is positioned alongside a portion of the spacer. A second glass pane is positioned over the spacer so that it is partially adhered to the spacer to define an interpane space around which the spacer is adhered, but with the resilient member preventing contact with the whole of the spacer, so maintaining a gap between a portion of the spacer and the second glass pane. The resulting assembly is moved into a gas exchange chamber, and air is removed from the chamber and accordingly also the interpane space. A gas having a coefficient of thermal conductivity lower than that of air is introduced into the chamber and accordingly also the interpane space, and the glass panes are pressed together while in the gas exchange chamber to compress the resilient member and adhere the second glass pane to all of the spacer to seal the interpane space.

Abstract: This invention relates to DNA vaccines for eliciting an immune response and/or protective immunity in a vertebrate by introducing into the vertebrate the DNA vaccine which consists essentially of DNA encoding an antigen or antigens, e.g. capsid proteins or polypeptides, of rotavirus. The uptake of the DNA vaccine by a host vertebrate results in the expression of the capsid protein, thereby eliciting humoral or cell-mediated immune responses, or both, which can provide protection against infection and/or prevent clinically significant rotavirus-caused disease. In addition, the invention demonstrates that an internal viral antigen provides protective immunity in a host. The host can be any vertebrate, including birds, piglets, and humans.

Abstract: A chemiluminescent assay method, compositions, kits and chemiluminescent acridan compounds are described which use a two-step chemiluminescent reaction process. The reaction involves an acridan compound, preferably a derivative of an N-alkylacridan-9-carboxylic acid, which undergoes a reaction with a peroxide compound, a peroxidase enzyme and an enhancer under conditions of time, temperature and pH which permit the accumulation of an intermediate compound, which is subsequently induced to produce a burst of light by raising the pH. The result is generation of very high intensity light from the reaction. The peroxidase enzyme is present alone or linked to a member of a specific binding pair in an immunoassay, DNA probe assay or other assay where the hydrolytic enzyme is bound to a reporter molecule. The method is particularly amenable to automated assay because of the separation of the incubation and light generating steps.

Abstract: An inexpensive device with a disposable cartridge for preparing tissue sealant is disclosed. The device is particularly applicable to stat preparation of autologous tissue sealant. A method of sealing tissue in which the tissue sealant is applied immediately after mixing platelet-rich plasma concentrate (from the device) with a solution of calcium and thrombin is also disclosed. Preparation in the operating room of 5 cc sealant from 50 cc patient blood requires less than 15 minutes and only one simple operator step. There is no risk of tracking error because processing can be done in the operating room. Chemicals added may be limited to anticoagulant (e.g., citrate) and calcium chloride. The disposable cartridge may fit in the palm of the hand and is hermetically sealed to eliminate possible exposure to patient blood and ensure sterility. Adhesive and tensile strengths are comparable or superior to pooled blood fibrin sealants made with precipitation methods. Antifibrinolytic agents (such as aprotinin) are not necessary because the tissue sealant contains high concentrations of natural inhibitors of fibrinolysis from the patient's blood. The tissue sealant also contains patient platelets and additional factors not present in available fibrin sealants that promote wound healing.

Abstract: A heart pacemaker (6), in particular an external heart pacemaker, which comprises means for stimulating the heart and means for perceiving spontaneous cardiac activity, contains an additional device in the form of an additional module (8) for forming a pulse (PR) which is coupled in a fixed manner in terms of time to the perception of spontaneous ventricular cardiac activity and coupled in a manner which is fixed in terms of time but offset by a given interval (t) to the emission of a ventricular stimulation pulse. The pulse emitted by the additional module (8) is used to control the logics of a balloon pump (10, 12, 9, 3). The additionally formed pulse has the approximate shape and amplitude of a patient's natural ECG R wave occurring at the body surface, such that it can be "understood" by the ECG input of the pump control system (4), as is conventional for the normally derived surface ECG. The pacemaker has low source impedance. A separate pacemaker (6) can be assembled with or connected to an intra-aortal balloon counter-pulsation system (IABP) of this type.

Abstract: A waveguide sensing element has a substrate having an input opening adapted to house an input optical fiber and an output opening adapted to house an output optical fiber. The input optical fiber transmits electromagnetic radiation, and the output optical fiber emits the electromagnetic radiation. The waveguide sensing element also has a guiding layer disposed adjacent the substrate. The guiding layer has a beveled end face. The angle of the bevel is chosen so that the guiding layer selects only those modes within a given range-i.e., high order modes. This increases the spectral absorption measurement sensitivity as compared to a waveguide sensing element which uses the complete mode spectrum. Such a highly sensitive waveguide sensing element has been found to be particularly useful as an internal reflection spectroscopic sensing element. Moreover, the waveguide sensing element of the present invention is particularly useful in a process environment, where the corrosive effects of chemicals make on-line spectral absorption measurements difficult. Thus, the waveguide sensing element of the present invention may be rear-fired, which is particularly attractive from a process seal integrity standpoint.
