Abstract: Improved contact lens compositions are achieved through incorporation of a fluorine containing mono or diester of itaconic acid in siloxane polymeric contact lens compositions. Copolymers include components which modify contact lens mechanical, optical and transport properties as well as surface characteristics to achieve at least some compositions having an oxygen permeability of at least DK35 with a refractive index of from 1.35 to 1.5 and a percent hydration below 2 percent of total weight. Contact lenses made of materials of this invention are highly permeable to oxygen and resistant to the deposition of tear components providing extended wear capability through improved biocompatibility.

Abstract: What is disclosed is a time partitioned bus arrangement for use in a computer system wherein different circuits therein are interconnected by a plurality of busses and operation is such that information to be processed can be read out of one circuit, processed in some manner in another circuit, and the processed information be stored in the same or another circuit all within one cycle of a system clock in the computer system, and without the need for bus control circuits and bus interfaces in the circuitry connected to the busses. Some of the circuits have their input/output connected to only a single one of the busses, while other circuits have their input connected to one bus and their output connected to a different bus, and yet other circuits have either their input or output connected to one of the busses and their other input/output connected to circuitry external to the bus arrangement. Some of the processor circuits have a control lead input that is energized by the clock signal output from the system clock so that they accept information from one bus to which their input is connected during a first polarity portion of a clock cycle and return either unprocessed or processed information to another bus during a second polarity portion of a clock cycle.

Abstract: A night light assembly (10) which plugs into and is sup­ported by an electrical wall outlet (11) whose orientation on the wall is either horizontal or vertical. The assembly, when switched on, produces low-level illumination and at the same time exudes an aromatic vapor. The assembly includes a reflector shell (17) having housed therein a low-wattage bulb (B). Attached to the open front of the shell is a frame (28) adapted to accommodate a removable window cartridge (35) having a transparent plate (36) whose rear face is covered by a thin pad (37) of light-permeable porous material impreg­nated with a volatile aromatic liquid. The shell is vented, and as the air therein is heated and expanded by heat emanating from the bulb, a convection current is produced which flows across the pad to volatilize the liquid, thereby creating an aromatic vapor that is discharged through the vent. Adherable to the front face of the window plate is a translucent sheet (15) having a picture (16) thereon of an object possessing a characteristic odor, the fragrance of the aromatic vapor being thematically related thereto. The sheet is so adhered to the plate as to orient the picture thereon to conform to the existing orientation of the outlet into which the assembly is plugged.

Abstract: The process for investigating a sample liquid includes a step in which two layers which are able to absorb the sample liquid are connected together in such a way that the sample liquid is able to pass from one layer into the other through the connecting area between the layers. Such a connection of absorbent layers can be produced particularly economically and reliably by applying a hot melt adhesive in the form of a continuous coating onto the first layer material, and pressing the second layer material against the latter while the hot melt adhesive is sufficiently hot to be able to bond, it being necessary to adjust the amount of the hot melt adhesive and the pressure, taking account of the surface properties of the layers to be connected, to suit one another so that even after the second hot melt adhesive material has been applied and pressed on there is no full-thickness hot melt adhesive layer impermeable to fluid.

Abstract: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus envelope protein or its fragments that are capable of binding to the T4 helper lymphocyte receptor are used in therapeutically effective doses for the treatment of immunoinflammatory disorders or diseases. Amino acid residues that constitue an essential portion of the T4 receptor binding domain of HIV  env  fall within a 64 residue sequence extending about from residues 411 to 454 of the 3B isolate. This domain is useful as a vaccine component, or for cytotoxic T cell targeting when conjugated with a target cell binding substance. HIV  env  which is devoid of a functional T4 receptor binding domain is useful as a vaccine for immunization against HIV infection. Antibodies capable of binding this domain also are provided for therapeutic and diagnostic use. An immunotoxin comprising a monoclonal antibody to a virally encoded cell surface antigen, linked to a toxin such as ricin A chain, is disclosed. Also, a method of killing virally infected cells such as HIV infected cells, comprising administering to the infected cells a therapeutically effective amount of the immunotoxin is disclosed.

Abstract: A laser beam communication system for communication between two spacecraft wherein, for link acquisition, the initiating spacecraft scans a projected laser beam (1) over an area (2) expected to contain the position of the target spacecraft ( ie  the one with which communication is to be set up) and meanwhile also scans the field-of-view (4) of a detector over the same area and along the same scan path (3). On receiving a glimpse of the projected beam, the target spacecraft sends a return beam to the position from which the glimpsed beam arrived, this is received by the detector on board the host spacecraft and the beam projected from the host is maintained directed at the relevant position. During the scanning, to avoid the projected beam having to be scanned slow enough so that it dwells on every point in the search area long enough for the projected beam to reach the target, for the target to respond, and for the return beam to travel back to the host (which makes for a rather slow acquisition), the scanning of the detector field-of-view is not co-incident with that of the projected beam but instead, using appropriate separately controllable scanning mechanisms, lags behind the projected beam by a time dependent on the distance between the two spacecraft plus the response time of the target.
