Abstract: Antibodies having dual specificity for two different but structurally related antigens are provided. The antibodies can be, for example, entirely human antibodies, recombinant antibodies, or monoclonal antibodies. Preferred antibodies have dual specificity for IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta and neutralize IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta activity in vitro and in vivo. The antibody can be a full-length antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof. Methods of making and methods of using these antibodies are also provided. These antibodies, or antibody portions, are useful for detecting two different but structurally related antigens (e.g., IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta) and for inhibiting the activity of the antigens, (e.g., in a human subject suffering from a disorder in which IL-1 alpha and/or IL-1 beta activity is detrimental.

Abstract: A micro-positioning system for accurately positioning an optical element relative to an optical device such as a laser diode, Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL), Resonant Cavity Photo Detector (RCPD), or some other type of optical device. The micro-positioning system is adapted to move the optical element independently in both the X and Y directions. The optical element preferably has at least two regions where the optical characteristics are different. In operation, the optical element is selectively moved so that a light beam intersects a selected region of the optical element. Because the optical characteristics of the optical element are different in different regions, the optical element produces a different optical result as the light beam is moved between regions. This may be useful in a number of applications including, for example, optical alignment, optical switching including Space Division Multiplexing (SDM), Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), and Polarization Division Multiplexing (PDM).

Abstract: Tracking data in accordance with an embodiment of the invention generally involves determining whether data supplied by an intermediary includes rights data, such as a watermark, that indicates ownership rights in the data. If the data supplied by the intermediary includes rights data, then a record is generated that indicates that the intermediary supplied data contains rights data. The intermediary may also record the source and destination of data passing through the intermediary. In addition, the intermediary may dynamically update rights data to indicate a source, destination or path of data passing through the intermediary. The intermediary may also generate statistical information about data passing through the intermediary.

Abstract: The present invention provides a tubular member
construction capable of preventing the end portion of a
flexible pipe formed of a band member from coming loose
without costing. The flexible pipe is formed by winding a
metallic tubular member in a spiral shape in an overlapped
manner, and a plurality of wavy corrugations are formed on

Abstract: When a vehicle advances in parallel with a parking frame
to reach an initial stop position, measurement of a distance to
a parked vehicle is continuously performed by means of an ultrasonic
sensor and a moving distance of the vehicle is simultaneously
calculated using a signal from a wheel speed sensor. When
actuating an in-line mode switch under a state where the vehicle
stops in the initial stop position, a turning angle is calculated
so as to enable appropriate in-line parking to the parking frame
from an actual initial stop position, based on a deviation of
the vehicle from a reference position for the initial stop measured
by the ultrasonic sensor. Information on a driving operation
that is necessary for back parking is provided to a driver via
a speaker based on this turning angle and output from a yaw rate
sensor.

The process for diagnosing the storage characteristics of a nitrogen oxides (NOx) catalyst in the exhaust system of a vehicle, involves determining an actual value during the storage phase, and determining motor conditions during the phase. A reference storage period is determined which depends on the motor operating conditions, and the actual value is compared to the reference storage time. The relationship between motor operating parameters and the storage time is determined, and then the actual storage times are measured. The actual storage time is then compared to a reference time, to decide whether the vehicle NOx catalyst is operating within prescribed limits.
