IPC: A01K23/00
Filed: 1994-03-01
Abstract: A receptacle capable of being stably positioned on the ground under the hind quarters of a dog to catch faeces therefrom. After use, the receptacle may be sealed and thrown away along with its contents. The disposable receptacle (1) consists of a cylindrical pot-shaped element made of synthetic material with a rigid or semi-rigid bottom wall (2), and a side wall (3) provided with wrinkled portions (4, 8) and forming a top opening (5).

Abstract: A monoclonal antibody which selectively binds to all forms of thymidine kinase, including TK2, active and inactive forms of TK1, and monomeric and multimeric forms of TK1, is described. Also described are monoclonal antibodies which selectively bind only to active or tetrameric TK1 and to TK2, respectively. A panel of antibodies including two or more of the above-described antibodies is useful to correlate levels of TK1 separately from total TK or TK2, according to a method described in the application. Methods for producing the above-noted monoclonal antibodies are also described, including a method for obtaining sufficient quantities of pure active/multimeric TK1 for use as an antigen. The anti-TK antibodies in the panel are useful individually and in various combinations to test tissue samples of human tumor patients, to predict from a primary tumor the likelihood of tumor recurrence, and to monitor treatment effectiveness. The antibodies are also useful for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring treatment efficacy in tumors of other kinds.

Abstract: Material feeding apparatus having, as one aspect, combining the loading, feeding and refilling functions in a single, vertically disposed housing with a feeder hopper portion of the housing below a refill hopper portion of the housing and separated from the refill hopper portion by a divider wall. The passage of material from the refill hopper portion to the feeder hopper portion is through a valve and material is drawn into the refill hopper portion by a vacuum source and discharged to the feeder hopper portion in response to indications of the level of the material in the refill hopper portion and the feeder hopper portion. A second aspect of this material feeding apparatus is the use of a flap valve as the valve which determines the passage of material from the refill hopper to the feeder hopper. A third aspect of this material feeding apparatus is combining two or more such systems in a blender and loading the systems with a single vacuum source which is selectively indexed to load the individual systems with constituent parts of a blend as the demand for material is sensed.

Abstract: A cache coherence network for transferring coherence messages between processor caches in a multiprocessor data processing system is provided. The network includes a plurality of processor caches associated with a plurality of processors, and a binary logic tree circuit which can separately adapt each branch of the tree from a broadcast configuration during low levels of coherence traffic to a ring configuration during high levels of coherence traffic. A cache snoop-in input receives coherence messages and a snoop-out output outputs, at the most, one coherence message per current cycle of the network timing. A forward signal on a forward output indicates that the associated cache is outputting a message on snoop-out during the current cycle. A cache outputs received messages in a queue on the snoop-out output, after determining any response message based on the received message. The binary logic tree circuit has a plurality of binary nodes connected in a binary tree structure. Each branch node has a snoop-in, a snoop-out, and a forward connected to each of a next higher level node and two lower level nodes. A forward signal on a forward output indicates that the associated node is outputting a message on snoop-out to the higher node during the current cycle. Each branch ends with multiple connections to a cache at the cache's snoop-in input, snoop-out output, and forward output.

Abstract: At least two different printmasks (78 B , 79 B ; 77 A , 79 A , 79' A ) are used for different printing devices --such as inkjet pens (22-28; 122, 128; 296, 298) -- that operate concurrently, or different printing steps (Fig. 24) that proceed concurrently, to produce respective image swaths (D B , 1 in Fig. 22; D A ) in a single, pixel-based printing machine (10, 110, 210). In one form of the invention, the different printing devices produce different respective pixel-row pitches (5, 105; 7, 107) -- related to resolution -- on a printing medium, and the different printmasks help to minimize adverse patterning effects that result from interaction of the different pitches with dot-placement errors. The different pitches on the print medium may be provided through different pitches of marking devices -- for example, the number of inkjet nozzles (43, 93;143, 193; 243, 293) per unit distance along a pen -- or in other ways. In another form of the invention the different printing devices are provided with different respective liquid-base colorants (C, M, Y, K), to mark in different colors on a printing medium, and the different masks facilitate physical separation of the different colorants to promote drying. Earlier-applied colorants have more time to dry and penetrate before later adjacent or superposed application of other colorants, improving print attributes such as bleed, offset, cockle, curl, overall drying time and throughput.
