Abstract: A  lambda  phage with a nuclear localization signal has been obtained by constructing a vector capable of expressing a fused protein between a gpD protein constituting the head of a  lambda  phage and a nuclear localization signal sequence, transforming Escherichia coli with this vector, and propagating a mutant  lambda  phage which cannot express the gpD protein in E. coli in this transformant. It has been confirmed that the resulting  lambda  phage is capable of packaging  lambda  phage DNAs of 80% and 100% genome sizes. After further confining that the nuclear localization signal exposed on the outside of the head of this phage, this phage has been microinjected into cells to analyze its nuclear localization activity. Thus, it has been clarified that this phage has a nuclear localization activity.

Abstract: There is described coated on a lithographic base a complex of a developer-soluble phenolic resin and a compound which forms a thermally frangible complex with the phenolic resin. This complex is less soluble in the developer solution than the uncomplexed phenolic resin. However when this complex is imagewise heated the complex breaks down so allowing the non-complexed phenolic resin to be dissolved in the developing solution. Thus the solubility differential between the heated areas of the phenolic resin and the unheated areas is increased when the phenolic resin is complexed. Preferably a laser-radiation absorbing material is also present on the lithographic base. A large number of compounds which form a thermally frangible complex with the phenolic resin have been located. Examples of such compounds are quinolinium compounds, benzothiazolium compounds, pyridinium compounds and imidazoline compounds.

Abstract: A high rate, upflow filtration system is described in which a compressible, fibrous lump filtration media is compressed to adjust the porosity and collector size of the media in the bed and to provide a porosity gradient within the bed proceeding from more porous to less porous in a direction opposite to the flow of fluid so that filtration proceeds in a direction from a more porous to a less porous filter bed. Larger particles are removed by the more porous media and successively smaller particles are removed as the filter bed becomes less porous. The system is capable of reducing the turbidity of influent municipal wastewater from about 8 NTU to about 2 NTU at a wastewater flow rate of from about 820 to 1230 L/m<2>.min (20 to 30 gal/ft<2>.min), at a bed compression ratio of from about 15 to 40 percent, and at a backwash rate of from about 1 to 6 percent based on the total wastewater passing through the filter.

Abstract: A device and a method for preventing damage to hearing which may result from activation of vehicle occupant restraint systems operate using a source of sound for producing a primary sound event having a sound pressure level non-injurious to hearing. The sound pressure level is, however, sufficient to trigger the so-called acoustic reflex of the human ear which has the effect that the ear's sensitivity is reduced when exposed to high sound pressure levels and the subsequent sound event has only a fraction of the negative effects of the primary sound event on the internal ear. The primary sound event needs only be triggered sufficiently shortly in time before the secondary sound event which occurs on activation of the restraint system and features a sound pressure level injurious to hearing.

Abstract: The conventionally separate valve, pressure regulator and manometer are integrated in a single unit. Gas, entering at (1a) is led to a conduit closed by plug (13). The spring loaded plug is moved as diaphragm (6) is deflected by bolt (4), whose threads engage with those in nut (2). A bolt (4) fits into a pinion (3) whose teeth engage in a quarter rack at the lower end of handle shaft (22). This shaft is turned by a radial hand lever, turning 90 from the ON to the OFF position. When opened, the valve admits gas to the regulator that uses a similar system of plug (13') and membrane (8). These are actuated through a regulating nut (14) moved by the upper cap (10). Gas at the delivery pressure passes through the bore of rod (19) to manometer (38) whose indicator (11a) can be viewed through the transparent dome (37). Gas is then supplied at (1b). Standard units for 1.5, 4 and 10 bar could then cover the conventional range of 15 types of units. The fitting has a cross-section of about 60 mm and a length of about 150 mm.
