Title: 音響トランスデューサーコンポーネント
IPC: G01D5/48
Filed: 1996-05-10
Abstract: (57)【要約】
音響導波管４に対する導波管サスペンション２及びモジュール式構造であり、電流パルスを伝送することによってねじれ歪波あるいは縦歪波を発生する導波管４と共に使用するための減衰素子６を有している。減衰素子６は音響歪波の反射を防止するためのものであり、導波管を取り囲むスリーブ２７と、スリーブ２７へ圧力を加えるための機構２９を有している。スリーブ２７は導波管４へ圧力を加えることによって、減衰素子のスリーブ２７によって取り囲まれている導波管４の長さに沿って音響歪波エネルギを徐々に減衰させて、音響歪波の反射を防止している。また、リターン導体１の位置が測定システムの応答によって決められ、ピックアップコイル１３から受信される信号のリンギングを最小限に抑えるようになっている。さらに、導波管を収容して外部雑音を避けるためにサスペンション機構２が使用されている。導波管アセンブリを組み付けるプロセスを容易にするブラケット１０が開示されている。また、磁気歪式トランスデューサと共に使用するためのローカルバッファ回路が開示されている。磁気歪式トランスデューサ４はピックアップコイル１３を有している。また、ローカルバッファ回路はピックアップコイル１３と並列に接続された二つのダイオード２２，２３を有し、呼掛けパルスによってピックアップコイル１３の中に発生されたエネルギをクリッピングすなわち短くする。また、ピックアップコイル１３の電気インピーダンス１３を下げるために、これもピックアップコイル１３と並列に接続されたコモンエミッタ増幅器２４を有している。

Title: Triterpene saponin analogs having adjuvant and immunostimulatory activity
Inventor: MARCIANI DANTE J
IPC: C07H15/256
Filed: 1998-05-20
Abstract: Described are compounds in which a lipophilic moiety such as a lipid, fatty acid, polyethylene glycol or terpene is covalently attached to a non-acylated or desacylated triterpene saponin via a carboxyl group present on the 3-O-glucuronic acid of the triterpene saponin. The attachment of a lipophile moiety to the 3-O-glucuronic acid of a saponin such as Quillaja desacylsaponin, lucyoside P, or saponin from Gypsophila, Saponaria and Acanthophyllum enhances their adjuvant effects on humoral and cell mediated immunity. Additionally, the attachment of a lipophile moiety to the 3-O-glucuronic acid residue of non- or des-acylsaponin yields a saponin analog that is easier to purify, less toxic, chemically more stable, and possesses equal or better adjuvant properties than the original saponin.

Title: Mixing nozzle for hose end
Inventor: BARTLO ALLEN M
IPC: B05B1/34
Filed: 1998-09-04
Abstract: A nozzle connectable to a hose or other fluid supply.  The nozzle stores an active material (16) such as an insecticide and then dissolves it into the water from the hose.  The nozzle has an elongated cylindrical outer housing (11).  A sleeve (12) is positioned in the housing, which stores the active material (16).  Interaction between a cap (13) and a valve controls the valve on/off operation and also a rinse by-pass in response to rotation of the housing (11) relative to a knob (10).  After the liquid passes into the sleeve (12), it travels a serpentine path before it reaches the outlet of the housing (27).  This, along with a particle trap and a swirl chamber, provides a consistent solution concentration.
