Title: Composition of antibodies directed against the human or animal interleukin-2 receiver
Inventor: JACQUES YANNICK
IPC: C07K16/28
Filed: 1992-01-28
Abstract: The composition, which is comprised of at least two antibodies, preferably monoclonal antibodies directed against the interleukin-2 receiver, includes an anti-p55 antibody and an anti-p75 antibody providing for the inhibition of the binding of interleukin-2 to its receiver. It concerns particularly the pairs 33B3.1/TU27, 33B3.1/Tic and 33B3.1/A41.

Title: Method and apparatus for converting bitmap image documents to editable coded data using a standard notation to record document recognition ambiguities
Inventor: DE LA BEAUJARDIERE JEAN-MARIE
IPC: G06V30/40
Filed: 1992-10-20
Abstract: Documents represented as bitmap images are transformed into coded textual data and coded graphics data by graphics and textual recognizers, which use a standard notation for recording the results of the document recognition processes, including any ambiguities, in a document description language. Recognized portions of the document, represented as editable coded data, such as for example ASCII, are placed in elements, defined in the document description language, with all contents of an element sharing some common characteristic. Elements can include, for example: character-string-elements, questionable-character-elements, questionable-word-elements, verified-word-elements, alternate-word-elements, segment- elements, and arc-elements.

Title: Linearized output control of a nonlinear amplifier
Inventor: BRAATHEN RUSSELL E
IPC: H03F1/34
Filed: 1993-02-03
Abstract: An amplifier circuit for providing precise linear control over the output of a nonlinear amplifier, including a nonlinear gain controllable amplifier and an output control circuit. The output control circuit is connected to sample the signal output by the nonlinear amplifier. The amplifier output signal may be a continuous or a discontinuous signal. The output control circuit also receives a baseband signal. The sampled amplifier output signal and the baseband signal are alternatively transmitted to a detector. The detector produces a signal representative of the power level of either the sampled amplifier output signal or the baseband signal. The signals produced by the detector are stared separately in a pair of sample-and-hold circuits. A difference amplifier determines the difference between the stored signals and transmits this difference signal to the gain control input of the amplifier.   The output signal from the amplifier is thereby adjusted to linearly track the baseband signal.

Title: Physical Partitioning of Logically Continuous Bus
Inventor: KEENER DON S
IPC: G06F13/36
Filed: 1993-03-12
Abstract: Arrangements are disclosed for physically partitioning a bus having a well defined architecture as a physical entity, wherein  the  partitioning  is  logically  transparent  to  a computer and devices which communicate through the bus and serves to avoid problems potentially arising because of the scope of actions permitted by the architecture.  A typical bus  architecture  to which  present  arrangements  have relevance  is  that  associated  with  SCSI (Small  Computer System Interface) buses.  The potential problems allowed to occur  architecturally  involve:   (a)  exposures  of  data security/integrity;  (b) excessive signal degradation due to use  of  signal  rates  which  although  allowed  by  the architecture are inappropriate for a particular bus loading environment   also   allowed   by   the   architecture;   (c) restrictions preventing parallel transfer of data between the computer and multiple storage devices; (d) restrictions unduly limiting the number of devices  attachable to one logical bus path (one input-output channel of the computer). The disclosed arrangement partitions the bus into two or more physical entities which to the computer appears as one logical entity.

Title: Air percussion drilling hammer for directional drilling applications
Inventor: JOHNS ROGER P
IPC: E21B4/16
Filed: 1993-07-06
Abstract: An air percussion hammer drill is disclosed for operation in an earthen formation. The air compression hammer mechanism comprises a piston that reciprocates while simultaneously rotating within its housing. A hammer drill bit slidably keyed to the bottom of the piston transfers the impact energy to the formation and rotates during operation independent of an attached drill string. The air percussion hammer assembly is therefore ideally suited to directional drilling activities.

Abstract: An in-line skate is shown, including a rigid plastic chassis  having  a  main  portion  and  integral  wing  portions extending upwardly therefrom on either side adjacent the heel end of the chassis, with an integral heel portion between the wing portions.   The main portion, heel portion and wing portions together define a heel box area.  A plastic boot is secured to the chassis  inside the wing portions and against the heel portion, and extends forwardly along the chassis.  A plastic cuff wraps around either side and the rear above the boot, and is pivotally connected to each wing portion.  A soft flexible padded sock-like liner is positionable inside the boot and the cuff. Straps are provided to secure the cuff, boot and chassis around the liner to firmly secure the user's foot, the straps preferably including at least one strap passable across the front of a user's ankle, the opposite ends of the strap being directed generally towards the heel box area, such that tightening of the strap pulls a user's heel directly into the heel box area. Preferably, the boot is adjustable to toe in or out relative to the chassis, and the pivotal connection between the cuff and the wing portions includes adjustment means on at least one side, whereby the height of the cuff relative to the wing portion on that side may be adjusted. The cuff is positioned inside the wing  portions,  and  the  boot  and  the  cuff  are  generally complementary  in  shape  and  thickness,  thereby  presenting generally flush interior surfaces to the liner.
