Abstract: A method for conferring or increasing the antigenicity of a disulfide-crosslinked protein by treating the protein with an oxidizing agent, such as periodate, having an oxidation potential sufficient to cleave disulfide linkages. Excess oxidizing agent is then inactivated by addition of a reducing agent. The resulting protein exhibits an increase in its ability to be bound by select antibodies, particularly monoclonal antibodies directed to linear peptide epitopes in the protein.

Abstract: A method for transferring a pattern onto a decorative film, comprising an organic material such as polyvinyl fluoride, in particular for the interior of an aircraft cabin by the transfer printing process. In this method, for transferring the pattern, the decorative film is brought into close contact with a pattern carrier, which contains the pattern formed by organic dispersive dyes, contact being established by pressing with a textured mat in between, and transfer of the pattern taking place by diffusion when heat is applied. The invention consists in that the decorative film (2) to be printed has a textured surface and the colour transfer takes place at a temperature at which essentially there is still no plastifying of the film surface and the textured mat (4) consists of such a compliant material that, when pressure is applied, the pattern carrier (3) comes into close contact with the decorative film (2) even in the depressions of the texture. 
<??>In this case, it is particularly advantageous that not only photographically recorded patterns but also the line patterns hitherto applied by screen printing can be transferred in this way to the films and consequently to the structural members and reductions in cost are obtained by virtue of the fact that the pattern carriers of paper can be produced more advantageously by the rotary process than by the screen printing process.

Abstract: A lens edging machine is numerically controlled by a computer to determine the rotation and displacement of a lens workpiece (16) with respect to an edging tool (10) in accordance with a lens shape stored in memory (60). The system continuously translates the lens workpiece (16) axially across the surface of the wheel (12, 14) to uniformly distribute wear across the wheel surface, reducing the need to dress the edging tool (10). The system compares the lens size with predetermined dimensions and compensates for any difference by automatically adjusting the lens trajectory during the edging of subsequent lens workpieces, permitting the edging tool to wear down without appreciable errors in lens size. The system controls the edging tool speed, the lens rotation rate, the lens axial feed velocity and the grinding force between the lens workpiece and the wheel at each discrete point during the entire lens edging operation to optimize production while preventing overheating of the lens workpiece. The optimum values for these parameters are empirically determined in a preparatory programmed trial and error learning process of the invention. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Lors de l'utilisation d'un procédé qui extrait l'argent sous la forme d'un sel d'argent difficilement soluble, tel que notamment du sulfure d'argent, d'une solution contenant un autre composé d'argent, tel qu'un complexe de thiosulfate d'argent dans un fluide de rinçage ou de fixage photographique par précipitation, la solution est soumise à un rayonnement électromagnétique d'une longueur d'ondes inférieure à 375 nm. Le liquide ainsi irradié est conduit à travers un organe de filtrage (33) qui lie le sulfure d'argent à sa surface, sous la forme de sulfure d'argent cristallin. Il en résulte que le sulfure d'argent se sépare par précipitation et se dépose sur la surface de l'organe de filtrage, sous la forme de sulfure d'argent solide, qui à son tour agit comme catalyseur dans la précipitation et le dépôt ultérieur du sulfure d'argent solide sur la surface de l'organe de filtrage. Grâce à la liaison du sulfure d'argent solide sur la surface de l'organe de filtrage, la nécessité de recourir à un autre filtre éventuel est réduite.
