Abstract: A patient temperature control system (10) uses variable temperature gradient warming/cooling in combination with a warming/cooling device (16), such as a blanket, to increase efficiency in driving a patient's temperature to a desired setpoint, with reduced occurrence of and magnitude of overshoot conditions. In operation, the controller (26) of the system (10) senses the temperature of a patient (12) via a sensor (31), for comparison to a temperature of the circulating water, sensed via sensor (30). If the patient temperature is not sufficiently close to a setpoint temperature, the system (10) is operable to warm/cool the circulating water to a temperature which differs from the patient's temperature by a temperature gradient of 10 C, or some other preselected initial temperature gradient. After a subsequent time interval, if the patient temperature has not moved sufficiently close to the setpoint temperature, the controller (26) incrementally raises or lowers the temperature of the circulating water, to intensify the warming/cooling effect. This procedure repeats at desired intervals, to more efficiently reach the setpoint temperature. Thus, the system (10) is capable of automatically increasing or decreasing the temperature gradient, dependent upon subsequently sensed patient temperatures.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the preparation and use of a collection of antibody heavy chain complementarity determining region 3 (HCDR3) members, where diversity of the collection is a function of the length of the HCDR3 members. The diversity of the collection of HCDR3 regions substantially represents the natural amino acid distribution of HCDR3 in the human repertoire. This natural amino acid distribution can be represented by biasing the complete random distribution of amino acids, accordingly, in the HCDR3 encoding DNA sequence by using trinucleotide mutagenesis (TRIM) technology. A collection of HCDR3 members of the invention each can be comprised within a variable region of an antibody (or fragment thereof) to form a library of synthetic antibodies or antibody fragments. Synthetic antibody libraries of the present invention may be designed to include modular features, such as chemically synthesized "master gene" framework regions, which may contain unique restriction sites flanking one or more CDR regions, including an HCDR3 region prepared as described herein. The invention also provides nucleic acid molecules encoding such diverse collection and methods of making and using the same.
