Abstract: A binary assay identifies agents that inhibit sterol  DELTA 14 reductase involved in ergosterol biosynthesis. In the primary screen, sterol  DELTA 14 reductase inhibition by a test sample is assayed by adding the test sample to a culture of Neurospora crassa having an erg-3 mutation and also to a culture of a strain having an erg-1 mutation, comparing the extent of growth inhibition after incubation in the two cultures, and identifying as positives those samples that show growth inhibition in the erg-3 culture exceeding that in the erg-1 culture. In the secondary screen, samples that test positive in the primary screen are reassayed by adding the test sample to a culture of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain into which has been introduced multiple copies of a gene encoding sterol  DELTA 14 reductase and also to a strain of S. cerevisiae that does not have the introduced gene; positive samples are identified after incubation by observation that growth inhibition in the culture having no introduced reductase gene exceeds growth inhibition in the culture having the introduced reductase gene. In preferred embodiments, a known inhibitor of sterol  DELTA 14 reductase is employed in solidified media in both the primary and the secondary screens, resulting in an assay that is highly sensitive and specific for the detection of sterol  DELTA 14 reductase inhibitors.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus is disclosed for detecting whether a catheter is the cause of an infection in a patient without removing the catheter from the patient. The apparatus includes a wire handle, brush and a protective, microbially impervious bag disposed over the handle and brush. In use, the apparatus is connected to a catheter, the brush is advanced through the catheter, and simultaneously removed from the protective bag. The apparatus is then withdrawn from the catheter, and simultaneously back into the bag, and the bag is capped to maintain the proper humidification of an fibrin sample obtained so that the microbes thus obtained remain viable.

Abstract: An improved system and method for communicating information over in-phase (I) and quadrature phase (Q) communication channels in a spread spectrum communication system is disclosed herein. In an exemplary implementation, first and second information signals are respectively transmitted over the I and Q communication channels using direct sequence spread spectrum communication signals. In-phase pseudorandom noise (PNI) and quadrature phase pseudorandom noise (PNQ) signals of predetermined PN codes are used for spreading the first and second information signals, respectively. In particular, the PNI and PNQ signals are respectively combined with the first and second information signals and an orthogonal function signal to provide I-channel and Q-channel modulation signals. The I-channel and Q-channel modulation signals are used for modulating in-phase (I) and quadrature phase (Q) carrier signals for transmission to a receiver via the I and Q communication channels, respectively. In a preferred implementation the receiver is operative to produce an estimate of at least the first information signal on the basis of the I-channel and Q-channel modulated carrier signals received over the I and Q communication channels. The received I-channel and Q-channel modulated carrier signals are demodulated and despread, with the resultant sequences being correlated into in-phase (I) and quadrature phase (Q) projection signals. A phase rotator operates to provide an estimate of at least the first information signal based on the I and Q projection signals and a received pilot signal.

Abstract: A multi-rate, multi-head positioner (150) receives and processes unpanelized positioning commands to actuate slow stages (56, 58) and multiple fast stages (154) that are mounted on one of the slow stages to simultaneously position multiple tools (156) relative to target locations (162) on multiple associated workpieces (152). Each of the fast stages is coupled to a fast stage signal processor (172) that provides corrected position data to each fast stage positioner to compensate for fast stage nonlinearities and workpiece placement, offset, rotation, and dimensional variations among the multiple workpieces. When cutting blind via holes in etched circuit boards (ECBs), improved throughput and process yield are achieved by making half of the tools ultraviolet ("UV") lasers, which readily cut conductor and dielectric layers, and making the other half of the tools are infrared ("IR") lasers, which readily cut only dielectric layers. The UV lasers are controlled to cut an upper conductor layer and a portion of an underlying dielectric layer, and the IR lasers are controlled to cut the remaining dielectric layer without cutting through or damaging a second underlying conductor layer. The throughput is increased by cutting conductor layers in unprocessed ECBs while concurrently cutting dielectric layers in ECBs that have already had their conductor layer cut. The process yield is increased by performing a workpiece calibration prior to each cutting step to account for any ECB placement, offset, rotation, and dimensional variations.

Abstract: Apparatus for forming a cased glass stream having an inner core glass surrounded by an outer casing glass includes a first orifice (22) for receiving core glass from a first source (12). A second orifice (28) is vertically spaced beneath and aligned with the first orifice, and is surrounded by an annular chamber (30) that communicates with the second orifice through the gap between the first and second orifices. A spout (36) delivers casing glass from a second source through a tube (32) to the annular chamber in such a way that glass flows by gravity from the first and second sources through the orifices to form the cased glass stream. A plurality of gas burners (58) are disposed in the spout above the glass pool. The casing glass delivery spout is configured for improved heat transfer to, and improved heat retention within, the casing glass pool within the spout. Specifically, the glass pool surface area (63) is enlarged, and the glass pool depth is reduced. Free space above the glass pool is enlarged to accommodate gas flames from more burners, and to increase surface heat radiation into the glass pool. The housing (44) that supports the spout is designed such that an annular spout support surface (at 47) engages the spout radially outwardly of the spout opening(s) (34) for reducing heat transfer to the housing from casing glass flowing through the opening. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention discloses that the normal melanogenic gene, gp75 gene, encodes a gene product, a 24 amino acid peptide of ORF3, which is processed to an antigenic cancer peptide recognized by T lymphocytes. The cancer peptide of the invention derived from ORF3 is recognized by cancer antigen specific T lymphocytes as a tumor rejection antigen. The present invention relates to the identification of a second tumor antigen recognized by an HLA-A31 restricted CTL clone derived from the TIL586 cell line. This antigen derived from the TRP-2 protein tumor antigen and peptides thereof are capable of sensitising target cells for lysis by a CTL clone at 1 nM peptide concentration. Modified peptides were also recognized by the CTL clone. The products of these genes are promising candidates for immunotherapeutic strategies for the treatment and diagnosis of patients with cancer.

Abstract: A tilting pad thrust bearing arrangement (10, FIG. 1(b)) consists of an annular backing ring (12) providing an axially facing supporting surface (11) on which an array of bearing pads (201, 202 . . . 20i) is carried. Each pad has a flat supported surface (221) clamped to a thin mounting ring (30) of resilient steel by a headed fastener (41i) which bears on the supporting surface. The mounting ring is supported clear of the supporting surface at mounting points (32i) each side of each bearing pad which define a stand-off distance between ring and supporting surface of less than the height of each fastener head so that the ring is biased and each pad is lifted at the clamping position with its edges clear of the ring, thereby permitting it to pivot about the fulcrum formed by the fastener head. The supporting surface may be an intervening resilient ring (FIGS. 5 and 6).
