Abstract: A novelty candy product comprises a cylindrical barrel having mounted therein a hard candy portion slidable relative to said barrel. The barrel includes an open mouth end removably covered by a cap which is frictionally or otherwise retained in closing relation of the mouth. The end of the candy portion remote from the mouth carries a valve member which is yieldably urged toward the mouth by a coil spring. The barrel includes, at a position adjacent the mouth, a valve seat. When the cap is removed the coil spring projects the candy through the mouth and the valve into sealing engagement with the valve seat whereby syrups developed in the course of consuming the product are precluded from entering the interior of the barrel.

Inventor: CAPLAN MICHAEL
IPC: A61K39/002
Filed: 2000-12-06
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for treating or preventing allergic responses, particularly anaphylactic allergic responses, in subjects who are allergic to allergens or susceptible to allergies. Methods of the present invention utilize administration of microorganisms to subjects, where the microorganisms produce allergens and protect the subjects from exposure to the allergens until phagocytosed by antigen-presenting cells. Particularly preferred microorganisms are gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, and yeast. Particularly preferred allergens are proteins found in foods, venoms, drugs and latex that elicit allergic reactions and anaphylactic allergic reactions in individuals who are allergic to the proteins or are susceptible to allergies to the proteins. The proteins may also be modified to reduce the ability of the proteins to bind and crosslink IgE antibodies and thereby reduce the risk of eliciting anaphylaxis without affecting T-cell mediated Th1-type immunity.

Filed: 2001-08-30
Abstract: The invention measures the variable time interval, T(330-340), required to complete the arrival of a known and fixed number of data packets, C. Using a predetermined and relatively large number of data packets, a time interval measurement is accurately measured to very precise values. Because the time interval measurement is triggered precisely by the arrival of the first data to the complete arrival of the first data packet in the session, there is no quantization error (340) with respect to the first and last data packet. AAR is then calculated as (C*S)/T, where S is the number of samples per packet.

Abstract: A circuit board testing apparatus for testing continuity
and/or short-circuit of wirings formed on a circuit board,
includes an electromagnetic wave irradiator which irradiates
first terminals of the wirings with an electromagnetic wave so
that electrons are discharged from the first terminals by
photoelectric effect. Discharged electrons are trapped by an
electrode which is electrically biased to have a higher potential
than that of the second terminals of the wirings, thereby causing
an electric current to flow through the wirings via the electrode.
Existence of open-circuit and/or short-circuit of the wirings
is judged based on the current flowing the wirings.
