Inventor: DURBIN ANNA P
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2000-07-06
Granted: 2006-01-12
Abstract: Recombinant parainfluenza virus (PIV) are provided in which expression of the C, D and/or V translational open reading frame(s) (ORFs) is reduced or ablated to yield novel PIV vaccine candidates. Expression of the C, D and/or V ORF(s) is reduced or ablated by modifying a recombinant PIV genome or antigenome, for example by introduction of a stop codon, by a mutation in an RNA editing site, by a mutation that alters the amino acid specified by an initiation codon, or by a frame shift mutation in the targeted ORF(s). Alternatively, the C, D and/or V ORF(s) is deleted in whole or in part to render the protein(s) encoded thereby partially or entirely non-functional or to disrupt protein expression altogether. C, D and/or V ORF(s) deletion and knock out mutants possess highly desirable phenotypic characteristics for vaccine development. These deletion and knock out mutations changes specify one or more desired phenotypic changes in the resulting virus or subviral particle. Vaccine candidates are generated that show a change in viral growth characteristics, attenuation, plaque size, and/or a change in cytopathogenicity, among other novel phenotypes. A variety of additional mutations and nucleotide modifications are provided within the C, D and/or V ORF(s) deletion or ablation mutant PIV of the invention to yield desired phenotypic and structural effects.

Title: Hydrofoil with submerged lift body - has crook-legged craft supporting struts to stabilise draught
IPC: B63B1/10
Filed: 1972-01-14
Abstract: The watercraft has a submerged lift body is supported on two struts in a 'dog-leg' configuration, pointing towards the stern. The lower part of the struts is inclined backwards and exerts a downward force on the craft proportional to the speed through the water. The upper part, inclined forwards and only partly submerged, exerts an upward force varying not only with the speed but also with its degree of immersion. Between them the forces tend to stabilise the draught of the craft. Additionally their resultant exerts a turning moment about the horizontal transverse axis of the craft (except when they are equal); the consequent change of attitude, and draught, tends to bring the forces into balance.
