Abstract: The present invention provides compositions comprising a peptide having between about 7 and about 20 amino acid residues, the peptide being capable of binding a CD8 molecule on a cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) precursor and inhibiting differentiation of the CTL precursor to a mature CTL. The peptides have amino acid sequences substantially homologous to a sequence in an  alpha 3 domain of a human Class I MHC molecule. The sequence from the  alpha 3 domain is preferably between residue 220 and residue 235. The peptides typically comprise the sequences DQTQDTE (SEQ. ID No. 1) or EDQTQDTELVETRP (SEQ. ID No. 2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for the controlled cooling of wire from the rolling-heat temperature, having a series of interacting system parts or operating stations comprising a loop layer, a subsequent cooling path with at least one cooling zone, and, downstream thereof, a coiling means with subsequent conveying device for conveying away the wire coils. In the case of said system, very cost-effective adaptation to the cooling characteristics necessary for different material qualities of the rolling stock is achieved in that, for selective adaptation to different cooling characteristics, one or more of the system parts or operating stations (2 - 10) involved in the wire cooling are designed at the factory by the modular construction method such that they can be modified for attachment of additional assemblies and/or finishing stages. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The relatively harsh "ride" of a non-pneumatic tire ("NPT") is greatly improved by a ring of elastomeric material referred to as a "ride-enhancing insert" ("RI"). The RI is pre-positioned on the outer surface of a wheel rim on which the NPT is to be molded of elastomeric material, most preferably a polyurethane, which is peculiarly well-suited to survive normal use on various vehicles, particularly as a replacement for a conventional spare tire, or "minispare" in an automobile. The RI is surprisingly tolerant of stress and heat loads generated by operation of the NPT/RI. The RI has a large effect on the spring rate of the NPT when deflected over a cleat, and a reduction in spring rate when deflected over a smooth laminar surface. This is of particular importance since the deflection over a cleat is where the improvement in ride is most noticeable. The degree of ride-enhancement can be tailored by choosing the size and shape of the RI, along with the physical properties of the elastomer from which it is formed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A position-feedback-control servomechanism for shifting the transmission of a vehicle has both an adaptive proportional-integral-differential controller to compensate for manufacturing variations, etc, and a voltage-compensation system that senses the battery voltage and prevents the gain of a servomechanism drive motor from varying significantly when the battery voltage changes. The motor is preferably a permanent-magnet type to whose terminals the battery voltage is switched on and off. The switching is done by electronic switches that are under the control of a pulse-width-modulated signal. The width of the pulses of the pulse-width-modulated signal is controlled by both a closed-loop position-error signal and a signal derived from an open-loop measurement of the battery voltage. <IMAGE>

Abstract: To separate heavy metals from contaminated materials, a mixture of degradable organic matter (24) and water is fed to the contaminated material to be mixed together as a suspension with oxygen cover. The solubility of the heavy metals is increased by reducing the pH value of the suspension by the microorganisms in the organic matter (24) which form organic acids (28) and convert the heavy metals into a watery phase (26). The matter predominantly free of heavy metals is separated from the watery phase (26) and the watery phase containing heavy metals (26) is passed to a biogas reactor (20). The solubility of the heavy metals in the watery phase (26) is reduced by biological degrading of the organic acids (28) by oxygen exclusion in the biogas reactor, for heavy metal compounds to be formed by the heavy metals which dissolve with difficulty, to be separated from the watery phase (26) free of heavy metals.

Abstract: A position sensing appts. (Fig.2) is used to sense the position of at least one sash door in a laboratory fume hood, where the door can be moved along a track. The appts. consists of at least one elongated base member (38) which is fixed to the hood (12) and is arranged to be parallel to the direction of movement of the door. An electrical switching device, including an electrical resistance strip with a known value of resistance per unit length, is fixed to the base member. An actuator unit (40,42) is attached to each of the movable doors (24,26). The actuator block (50) is coupled to and allowed to move along the base member, moving the door as required. The actuator assembly is also used to activate the switching device at an appropriate location. The actuator is coupled by a linkage (52,56) and a mounting block (54) to the hood doors. The mounting block is arranged to allow relative movement between the door and the linkage, as the door is moved along its track by the actuator. This relative movement may be in both planes orthogonal to the direction of motion of the door, and is achieved by using sliding connections at each end of the linkage. The linkage pref. slides in a recess in the mounting block, and may be made of e.g. stainless steel wire. The mounting block is pref. glued to the hood door.

The exhaust gas stream, so treated, is then discharged to the atmosphere through suitable discharge means. A preferred adsorbent is a zeolite having a relatively high silica to alumina ratio. An oxidant such as air may be added to the exhaust gas stream at a point upstream of the catalyst zone. Apparatus for treating an engine exhaust gas comprises an adsorbent zone (24) downstream of the engine and a catalyst zone (28) downstream of the adsorbent zone.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for deacidification of cellulosic materials such as the pages of books, magazines, newspapers, documents and the like are provided which ensures that substantially the entirety of each page is treated. The method includes placing the materials within a carrier such that the pages are free for exposure to the treating medium. The carrier is submerged in a vat preferably containing a dispersion of treating material including particles of an alkaline metal oxide, hydroxide or salt. The vat includes a support frame which supports the carrier and is slidably mounted on the vat such that the carrier and materials it holds may reciprocate in a generally horizontal direction. The reciprocation of the support frame causes the pages of a book, for example, to fan out, and the treating material in the medium thus comes into contact with each page of the book, magazine or other document. After reciprocating the support frame at a preselected speed and stroke length for a preselected length of time such that each page of the book is treated, preferably in its entirety, the carrier is removed from the bath and transferred to a dryer. The dryer includes a flexible meshed webbing which is loosely draped over a series of support rods mounted on a frame. The cellulosic materials are placed on the meshed webbing and preheated air is passed through the dryer to evaporate any excess residual treating medium.
