Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for detecting failure of an antenna amplifier unit (1), replicated on the hot standby principle, in a receiving unit (2) positioned apart from an antenna (3), the receiving unit comprising power supply means (20) for supplying operating voltage to the antenna amplifier unit through an antenna cable (4). To transmit information on the failure of the amplifier to the receiving unit, the apparatus of the invention is characterized in that the antenna amplifier unit (1) comprises control means (10) responsive to a failure of an amplifier for disconnecting an amplifier (LNA1, LNA2) from the supply of operating voltage, and that the power supply means (20) are capable of detecting a change in power consumption resulting from the disconnection of the amplifier from the supply of operating voltage and thereby the failure of the amplifier (LNA1, LNA2).

Abstract: The invention provides a preparation of tumor cell lines containing an exogenous gene encoding a polypeptide that potentiates the immune response to the tumor, for example, interleukin-2. The invention includes methods for cancer therapy by immunization with the immunopotentiating tumor cell. The invention also provides methodology whereby one can selectively ablate in vitro and in vivo genetically altered cells. A preferred embodiment of this aspect of the invention includes a cell containing a first exogenous gene encoding an immunopotentiating polypeptide and a second exogenous gene encoding a "lethal" or "suicide" polypeptide, preferably under the control of an inducible promoter. Introduction of the second exogenous gene confers the ability to selectively kill the tumor cell by inducing a promoter in operative linkage to the gene encoding the lethal polypeptide to initiate transcription of the polypeptide. Diphtheria toxin or the thymidine kinase of Herpes simplex virus are exemplary lethal genes. An exemplary promoter employed is the 6-16 promoter, which is inducible with low levels of interferon. Methods for using the cells in cancer therapy are also provided.

Date Jun. 25, 1992.Surfaces of polymers, particularly polyesters, can be fluorinated by deposition of a fluorocarbon from solution. The fluorocarbon may be an amorphous fluoropolymer, such as the copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and bis-2,2-trifluoromethyl-4,5-difluoro-1,2-dioxole sold under the trademark TEFLON AF TM , which is soluble in fluorinated alkanes and other fluorinated liquids such as those sold under the trademark FLUORINERT TM . Surface-fluorinated polyesters, particularly in knitted fabric form, are useful as vascular grafts: the fluorinated surface reduces thrombogenicity and complement activation. The disadvantages of known surface fluorination methods, such as the cold plasma or glow discharge process, are avoided.

Abstract: A hand-held fluid power-operated shears characterized by a body including a pistol grip handle portion, a blade-receiving recess and a cylindrical cavity with a removable cover over the blade-receiving recess. One of a variety of different size and design pairs of interchangeable shear blades may be installed in the blade-receiving recess. The blades are pivotally connected and each has a forward cutting section projecting forwardly of the housing and a rearward extension, the extensions being removably received in the blade-receiving recess to hold one blade fixed while permitting relative movement of the other. One end of a piston rod is fixed to a piston provided in the cylindrical cavity for reciprocal movement therein. The other end of the piston rod is in direct detachable engagement with the rearward end of the extension of the relatively movable shear blade. Fluid flow passages are provided within the body, being adapted for connection to a source of fluid under pressure and in communication with the cylindrical cavity on opposite sides of the piston for introduction of fluid thereto and exhaust fluid therefrom. Valve mechanisms are provided for controlling flow of fluid through the shears. Power trigger mechanisms which are operable from the pistol grip handle are provided to actuate the control valve mechanisms and safety trigger mechanisms are provided operable from the pistol grip handle to prevent accidental operation of the power trigger.

Abstract: The new intraocular lens of the present invention is a one-piece composite lens having a soft, foldable central optic region and a hard, non-foldable outer peripheral region making up the haptics or legs of the intraocular lens. The soft, central optic portion of the lens is typically manufactured from a material capable of being folded so that the intraocular lens can be inserted through a small incision on the order of 3 to 4 mm. The hard haptic portion of the lens provides support for the lens in the eye after insertion and unfolding of the lens. The relatively rigid plastic lends support to the entire lens structure after its insertion into the posterior chamber of the eye, and tends to help stabilize the position of the lens after insertion and the closure of the incision. A preferred material of the soft optical region being a poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) or pHEMA or a copolymer thereof such as HEMA and 6-hydroxyhexyl methacrylate (HOHEXMA) or p(HEMA-co-HOHEXMA). The preferred material of the hard haptic region being made from a relatively hard plastic, such as (polymethyl methacrylate) or PMMA, or a copolymer thereof.

Within the inner jacket of the housing, close to the closed end thereof, is a chamber containing the powdered components of a drug. A needle for piercing the stopper which closes the container enables the interior of the container to be put in communication with the chamber so as to allow the liquid component to flow out and consequently mix with the powdered component. The subsequent advance of the container into the housing, with the consequent penetration of the piston into the container, causes the further flow of the liquid component into the chamber carrying the drug solution to the exterior of the device generally like a syringe. Its use as a supplier of infusions is also foreseen.

Abstract: Apparatus 1 for treating a fluid, in this case wastewater, comprising a vessel or tank 2, means 3 to supply the wastewater in an alternating sequence to the vessel 2, anda means 4 for oxygenating the bed of granular media 5 to provide aerated filter media. The filter bed is aerated during operation by air, oxygen enriched air or other gas being introduced at or adjacent the base (as viewed) of the bed through the means 4, which may be a perforated manifold, diffuser or the like extending substantially over the whole surface area of the bed 5. Also the bed 5 is a granular media such as natural minerals or blast furnace slag media to the surface of the discrete particles of which is attached bacteria and micro-organisms (a biomass) which effects treatment of the fluid. The influent at 3 derived from sewage is counter current to the air, and is particularly a non-nitrified influent namely wastewater that has previously been treated to reduce the BOD (biological oxygen demand) and suspended solids concentrations. The blast furnace slag media 5 has an average particle diameter of 2.8-4.0mm and a porosity of 13.9%. In carrying out the process the periodic reversal of the flow through the filter bed maintain the concentration gradient of the micro-organisms (biomass) substantially uniform as a desired concentration of micro-organisms throughout the depth of the bed under all operating conditions in the embodiments illustrated. This provides for a uniform, efficient treatment of the sewage. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A thermocouple vacuum gauge includes a first thermocouple element spaced below a second thermocouple element. The two thermocouples are electrically connected in series in a back-to-back manner by connecting together their respective negative ends. A pulse generator supplies a pulsing on-off current only to the first thermocouple. During the off intervals, a thermally generated voltage signal is measured between the positive ends of the thermocouples and compared to a reference signal. The result of the comparison is used to vary the output current of the pulse generator. The amount of current supplied sufficient to cause the measured voltage signal to approach the reference signal is proportional to the amount of pressure or vacuum in an enclosure in which the thermocouples are placed.
