Abstract: A credit card case has a sectioned structure providing capacity for two or four or more credit cards. Each section provides an area to receive and store two cards and includes an outer panel with a smaller central opening, an inner panel with a larger central opening, and a central dividing panel to separate the cards. The central dividing panel is longer than the inner and outer panels so as to provide a receiving area for the cards. The inner side walls of the card holding areas are tapered near the receiving area to further provide for easy insertion. A separation and retention means is provided towards the top of each card holding area to further assist with card insertion and to prevent unintentional card removal.

Abstract: A conveyor system having an automatic lubricating system for the conveyor chain and its associated guide track is provided. The conveyor system includes a conveyor chain, a guide track, a lubricator, and a support frame. The guide track is carried by the support frame, and has a bottom wall with a guide surface and an aperture. The conveyor chain has interconnecting links, and is supported by the guide track for movement. Each of the links of the conveyor chain has a lower surface that may contact the guide surface of the guide track when the conveyor chain is moved. The lubricator is mounted on the support frame, and includes a separator dividing the lubricator into a lubricant chamber and a gas compartment. The lubricator includes an electrochemical cell in the gas compartment for generating gas that flows against the separator to move the separator against the lubricant in the chamber to force the lubricant through an outlet. An adapter block and piping are used to place the lubricator outlet in fluid communication with the aperture in the bottom wall of the guide track. When the lubricator is activated, lubricant exits the lubricator, and travels through the adapter block and the aperture in the bottom wall of the guide track. When the links pass over areas near the aperture, the lower surfaces of the links contact the lubricant and a lubricating film is formed between guide surface of the guide track and the lower surface of each link.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un nouvel ADNc mucin intestinal de l'insecte. La protéine mucine intestinale de l'insecte (MII) a été identifiée et clonée au moyen de larves de T. ni. On a déterminé et découvert les séquences d'acides aminés et l'ADNc. La nouvelle protéine possède une masse moléculaire d'environ 400 kDa. Ces séquences peuvent servir à la production de vecteurs transgéniques ou recombinants, y compris des virus, des micro-organismes, des cellules, des plantes ou des animaux, lesdits virus, micro-organismes, cellules, plantes ou animaux étant le produit de l'insertion d'un vecteur d'expression génique comprenant un ADN qui code pour la séquence de la protéine MII. De ce fait, l'hôte obtenu par génie génétique de la séquence d'ADN MII est capable d'exprimer cette protéine MII sous une forme fonctionnelle. On a également trouvé utile une séquence purifiée et isolée d'ADN recombinant qui comprend une séquence d'ADN codant pour une protéine MII. La séquence utilisée d'ADN recombinant peut être une séquence d'ADNc pour MII 14 ou MII 22, SEQ. ID. Nos. 1 et 2, respectivement. La présente invention concerne également l'utilisation des séquences purifiées d'acides aminés pour MII 14 ou MII 22, SEQ. ID. Nos. 3 et 4, respectivement. Grâce à cette invention, la connaissance des composants protéiniques de la membrane péritrophique, et en particulier des protéines similaires à la mucine, on pourra améliorer l'efficacité des biopesticides obtenus par génie biologique et des vecteurs viraux recombinants, renforcer les défenses des plantes transgéniques ou protéger les insectes vecteurs vulnérables aux attaques des organismes utilisant l'enzyme "enhancine" ou similaires.

Title: Pipe-bending alignment device
Inventor: GODIN JEFFREY L
IPC: B21D7/06
Filed: 2000-05-22
Abstract: A compact guide (1) for introducing multiple bends in at least one plane in a pipe (14), conduit, or other tube-like item. The guide (1) has a gauge section (2) rotatably attached to a mounting section (3) and is affixable by means of a non-deforming clamp (4) to the end of a pipe segment to be bent. The gauge section (2) has a bend-angle gauge and a bend-plane level. The bend-angle gauge is a plumb arm (5) mounted so as to measure and indicate the bending of a pipe (14) to any degree of bend. The bend-plane guide is a 360 level (16) mounted on an upper face of the plumb arm (5). Multiple bends are made in the pipe segment without removing or re-aligning the guide (1). This ensures that the initial reference position is maintained throughout the bending process and ensures that all bends are in the proper bend-plane, thus avoiding "dogging" between successive bends. Multiple successive bend-planes also may be established without removing or re-aligning the guide (1) on the pipe (14), by rotating the gauge section (2) of the guide relative to the mounting section (3) by the magnitude of the desired out-of-plane angle.

Title: Apparatus and method for generating scrambling code in umts mobile communication system
Inventor: KANG HEE-WON
IPC: H04J13/16
Filed: 2000-07-07
Abstract: A scrambling code generating apparatus of a downlink transmitter in a UMTS  mobile communication system, which uses one primary scrambling code for separation of base stations and multiple secondary scrambling codes for channel separation. The apparatus includes a first m-sequence generator for generating a first m-sequence and a second m-sequence generator for generating a second m-sequence. A first summer adds the first and second m-sequences to generate the primary scrambling code. A plurality of first masking sections each shift the first m-sequence, and a plurality of second masking sections corresponding to the respective first masking sections each shifts the second m-sequence. A plurality of second summers each adds one of the first shifted m-sequences with the second m-sequence corresponding to the first m-sequence.  The output of the second summers thus generates the multiple secondary scrambling codes.
