Title: Method and apparatus for determining the provenance of a data carrying disc
Inventor: HEYLEN RICHARD A A
IPC: G11B20/12
Filed: 1998-12-22
Granted: 2002-08-08
Abstract: The method and apparatus of the invention utilize the fact that CDs manufactured from the same master will have distinctive physical characteristics attributable to the physical manufacturing process of the master to distinguish counterfeit CDs from genuine discs. For a genuine disc (4), the relative angular orientation of specified sections (1, 2, 3) of the recorded data are determined and recorded. The relative angular orientation of the same sections (1, 2, 3) of data on a test disc (5) are also determined. Where the relative angular orientations are the same it is concluded that the test disc derives from the same source as the genuine disc and is therefore bona fide. Where there is no correlation, the test disc may be identified as counterfeit. The relative angular orientations, or other physical characteristics of the discs, may be physically measured, or may be calculated from information gained by reading the data on the disc.

Title: Retinoic acid receptor composition and method
Inventor: EVANS RONALD MARK
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1988-12-01
Granted: 1992-09-17
Abstract: A novel retinoic acid receptor is disclosed. The novel receptor is encoded for by cDNA carried on plasmid phRAR1, which has been deposited with the American Type Culture Collection for patent purposes. Chimeric receptor proteins are also disclosed. The chimera are constructed by exchanging functional domains between the glucocorticoid, the mineralocorticoid, the estrogen-related, the thyroid and the retinoic acid receptors. In addition, a novel method for identifying functional ligands for receptor proteins is disclosed. The method, which takes advantage of the modular structure of the hormone receptors and the idea that the functional domains may be interchangeable, replaces the DNA-binding domain of a putative novel receptor with the DNA-binding domain of a known receptor such as the glucocorticoid receptor. The resulting chimeric construction, when expressed in cells, produces a hybrid receptor whose activation of a ligand-(e.g., glucocorticoid) inducible promoter is dependent on the presence of the new ligand. The novel method is illustrated in part by showing that the ligand for the new receptor protein is the retinoid, retinoic acid. <IMAGE>

IPC: B65B9/20
Filed: 1986-02-17
Granted: 1988-11-24
Abstract: To fill low-weight, high-volume goods, such as potato chips, popcorn and the like into bags as the bags are being made, the fill goods are introduced into a hopper and a filling funnel which is joined to a fill tube. The fill tube has air inlet openings at the upper portion, air outlet openings at the lower portion, and then continues to a holder and bag-forming tube. A film (102), for example, of plastic, is wrapped about the bag forming tube (105), and seamed vertically, so that the tube is being made as goods are introduced into the hopper and funnel. An air stream (B) is generated longitudinally in the fill tube (103) by introducing air under above-atmospheric pressure into the upper air inlet openings (104) formed as downwardly directed flap nozzles (119), the air being removed from lower openings (122) and, for example, recirculated in the recirculating blower (107), the openings being closed off outwardly by a jacket forming respective air inlet and outlet chambers (111,116). The fill goods are accelerated downwardly, while being prevented from "dancing" above the introduced air by the volume of the fill goods themselves within the hopper or inlet funnel (101). The bag is formed by usual vertical bag seaming apparatus (131) and cross-seamed, pinched and severed by filling and pinching jaws (113).
