Abstract: A process for reducing the permeability of a paper wrapper used in the construction of a smoking article is disclosed. The paper wrapper is treated with a film-forming composition that forms treated discrete areas on the wrapper. The treated discrete areas have a permeability within a predetermined range sufficient to reduce the ignition proclivity properties of a smoking article made with the wrapper. In accordance with the present invention, the film-forming composition contains a film-forming material. The film-forming material has a relatively low viscosity. In this manner, the film-forming composition can have a relatively high solids content and still be applied to the wrapper using conventional techniques, such as by using a gravure printer.

Abstract: An electronic circuit has a plurality of sub-circuits. Clock gate circuits supply gated clock signals to data storage elements of the sub-circuits. The clock gate circuits have gate inputs for receiving gate signals that commands blocking passage of the clock signal. Data can be transferred between data storage elements between two of the subcircuits. A detector circuit flags invalid data in the data storage element of the second one of the sub-circuits. The detector circuit has a flag storage element arranged to set a flag when the clock gate circuit of the second one of the sub-circuits passes the clock signal for the second one of the sub-circuits after the clock gate of the first one of the sub-circuits has blocked the clock signal for the first one of the sub-circuits. The flag indicates the relative phase of the clocks signals of different sub-circuits when the clocks are stopped. The flag is used to invalidate data in the data storage element of the second one of the sub-circuits.

Abstract: An identification appliance, such as a wristband, bracelet, patch, headband, necklace, card, sticker, or other wearable appliance, has an improved patch or microstrip antenna. The microstrip antenna comprises a conductive patch layer, a conductive ground layer and a dielectric layer in between the conductive layers. The microstrip antenna is mounted to or disposed in the identification appliance, where preferably the ground layer is closest to the user and the patch layer is furthest from the user. Electronic circuits may be located in the dielectric layer, on a surface of a conductive layer, or on another part of the identification appliance. Connecting holes through the dielectric layer may allow circuits to be connected to a conductive layer or layers. This improved antenna resolves detuning and communication degradation problems.

Abstract: The inventors have discovered that a CKbeta8-1 truncation variant, CKbeta8-1 (25-116), is a bifunctional ligand for two distinct GPCRs, chemokine receptor CCR1 and formyl peptide receptor like 1 (FPRL1). Hence, the inventors have discovered that, in addition to its functional activity on CCR1, CKbeta8-1(25-116) is also a functional ligand for the GPCR receptor FPRL1 that is involved in inflammatory reactions and innate immunity by recruiting monocytes and neutrophils. In addition, the inventors have discovered an alternatively spliced exon of CKbeta8-1, named SHAAGtide. SHAAGtide, along with its parent chemokine CKbeta8-1 (25-116), is fully functional on both monocytes and neutrophils that are known to express FPRL1. This application relates generally to enhancing immune responses. Such immune responses may be elicited by vaccine administration. Compositions and methods for inducing or enhancing an immune response to an antigen are provided. The compositions and methods are useful for vaccine formulations for therapeutic and prophylactic use (immunization) and for production of antibodies.

Abstract: The invention is based on the idea of providing a detection device which is capable of distinguishing whether a microphone or audio signal processing arrangement connected thereto operates on an analog or digital basis. An analog or digital connection is selected in accordance with that determination procedure. Consequently there is provided a detection device which has a sensing device, a determining device and a selecting device. The sensing device senses an external signal fed to the detection device and forwards that signal to the determining device. The determining device determines whether the sensed external signal was transmitted by an analog or digital signal processing apparatus and transmits a corresponding determination signal to the selecting device. The selecting device then selects either an analog or a digital connection, in dependence on the determination signal.

Abstract: A missile includes a payload assembly that has a pair of nosecones. The nosecones may be optimized for different environments and/or phases of flight, for example, having different shapes, different shell materials, different types of seals, and/or different separation mechanisms. The first (outer) nosecone may have a more streamlined shape, be made of more thermally-protective material, and may meet less stringent sealing requirements, than the second (inner) nosecone. Separation of the outer nosecone from the payload assembly may cause backward movement of a center of pressure of the payload assembly, bringing the center of pressure of the assembly closer to a center of gravity of the assembly. This may make the payload assembly easier to maneuver, for example, reducing or eliminating the need for intervention by an attitude control system, to maintain the payload assembly on a desired course.
