Filed: 2004-03-04
Abstract: In a normal, standard CDROM (which includes, but not limited to, CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, VCD), it is known to have a round shape with a diagonal of 118mm, with data storage varies from around 700 MB to 4 GB. In this invention, the size of the CDROM has been reduced and the shape of the CDROM has also been altered to form a multiple shaped CDROM, called "MULTISC". The data storage of MULTISC varies from around 30 MB to 180 MB, depending on the shape and size. Since the shape and size of the MULTISC can be customized according to various demands and needs, MULTISC can be used in many ways and occasions for various purposes, such as business cards, product catalogue, etc.   The uniquely designed storage cases are incidental to the invention of MULTISC. The various shape and size of the MULTISC requires uniquely designed cases to store, carry and protect them. The drawings of the cases are attached to that of the MULTISC.

Title: Improved chimeric glycoproteins and pseudotyped lentiviral vectors
Inventor: BOSON BERTRAND
IPC: C12N15/86
Filed: 2003-04-25
Abstract: The present invention provides improved chimeric glycoproteins (GPs) and improved lentiviral vectors pseudotyped with those glycoproteins. Also provided are methods and compositions for making such glycoproteins and vectors, and improved methods of in vitro and in vivo transduction of cells with such vectors. Improved chimeric GPs encode the extracellular and transmembrane domains of GALV or RDl14 GPs fused to the cytoplasmic tail of MLV-A GP. Vectors pseudotyped with these GAL V /TR and RD 114/TR GP chimeras have significantly higher titers than vectors coated with the parental GPs.  Additionally, RDl14/TR-pseudotyped vectors are efficiently concentrated and are resistant to inactivation induced by the complement of both human and macaque sera. RDl14 GP-pseudotyped lentiviral vectors have particular utility for in vivo gene transfer applications.

Abstract: Dyed yarns typically have inferior color fastness compared with pigmented yarns. However, dyeing offers a virtually infinite selection of colors, flexibility and more uniformity than constructions of pigmented yarns in residential carpet and other yarn applications, such as apparel. It has been found that relatively small amounts of pigment (10 to 1000 ppm) incorporated into polymeric fibers, and particularly nylon fibers used in carpets, creates lightly pigmented yarns which, when overdyed, are highly uniform and have a higher degree of apparent dye light fastness compared to normal dyed yarns. This effect is observable for both anionic and cationic polyamide polymers, and dyeing of these slightly pigmented yarns can be conducted to produce yarns of almost any color of greater depth than the base yarn.
