Title: Coating blend compositions
Inventor: CHIHARA KOHJI Y
IPC: C08G18/10
Filed: 1992-05-11
Abstract: A coating blend composition  is a physical admixture of an adhesion promoter resin and a coating material resin.  The blend can be cured by one or more curing  agents  existing  within  either  the  adhesion promoter resin, the coating material resin, or both. The utilization of such a blend eliminates the need for priming a substrate such as a rubber, or a thermoplastic or a thermoset polyolefin.  The adhesion promoter resin is  a  urethane  composition  containing  a blocked polyurethane prepolymer whereas the coating material resin can generally be any compound which has a functional or cosmetic purpose such as a different type of blocked polyurethane, and is generally utilized in a major amount.  A particular application of the coating blend compositions of the present invention is to a glass run channel made from, for example, EPDM, as in an automotive door.

Title: Instrument for measuring optical fibre length
Inventor: BOLLERO ADRIANO
IPC: G01S17/26
Filed: 1992-05-13
Abstract: ABSTRACT            An  instrument  is  provided  for measuring  the length of an optical fibre by measuring the transit time of an optical pulse signal travelling along the fibre.  The transit time is measured using an electronic counter which is started at the transmission of the optical signal and stopped at its reception.  A microprocessor controls the light source such that it generates an optical pulse signal at a repetition frequency uncorrelated with respect to the repetition frequency of the pulses counted by the counter. The time required for the pulse signal to travel the length of the fibre is obtained by computing the arithmetic mean value of a large number of counting values supplied by the counter.

Title: Food serving device
Inventor: MACLEAN MARK A
IPC: A47G21/10
Filed: 1992-08-11
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A unitary metal pizza slice server has a triangular food support surface with a first handle portion projecting from its base and an overlying second handle portion resiliently joined at the distal end of the first portion to form a U-shape handle.  The second handle portion terminates in a concave U-shaped food gripper  facing the base of the  triangular food support surface.   The handle has a zone proximate the food support surface of a sufficient width and length in order to dissipate heat from a piping hot pizza slice on the food support surface so that the portion of the handle beyond this zone may be gripped by an unsheathed hand of a user.  The handle is also sufficiently long to ensure sanitary serving of the pizza slice.

IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 1992-10-22
Abstract: ?T9-91-024 MULTICONS                 Abstract of the Disclosure A new means of providing access to an application or data file in an object oriented graphical user interface is disclosed.  A set of icons is assigned to each object; each icon representing a different system behavior to be invoked when the object is opened.  In a preferred embodiment, the icons resemble a stack of cards.  Each card icon in the set has a main pictorial centered on the card, representing the object, and a word or symbol representing a behavior, such as run, edit or send, at a selected corner or border of the card.  In the stacked state, the card on top of the stack represents the active or default behavior which will be invoked when the icon is selected by the user.  If the default behavior is not desired, a user will unstack the icons to show the faces of the icons associated with the other modes of behavior and then select the desired behavior by selecting the appropriate icon to open the object. The set of icons in the present invention can be referred to as a multicon.

Title: Targeted protection from cytotoxins
Inventor: WU GEORGE Y
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1991-05-10
Abstract: A method of targeted rescue of cells from the effect of a chemotherapeutic cytotoxin is disclosed. A cytotoxin directed against diseased cells is administered with an antagonist-conjugate targetable to normal cells. The antagonist-conjugate is made up of an antagonist of the cytotoxin complexed with a cell-specific binding agent which specifically binds to a cellular surface component present on normal, but not diseased cells. The cellular surface component is typically a surface receptor of the cell which mediates endocytosis. The antagonist-conjugate is specifically taken up by normal cells to provide protection from the toxic effects of the cytotoxin. Diseased cells which lack the surface receptor do not take up effective amounts of the antagonist and consequently are unprotected.

Title: Locking cap for medical implants
Inventor: MCLAREN ALEXANDER C
IPC: A61B17/72
Filed: 1991-08-22
Abstract: A locking cap (10) for anchoring an implanted medical device within a bone (suh as an intramedullary fixation rod (14)) has a cylindrical, helically threaded body, a socket (28) concentrically disposed in one end (22), and an interface (26) for coope-rating with a driving tool, such as a wrench or screwdriver. Once a device such as an intramedullary fixation rod (14) has been implanted within a bone, the locking cap (10) is implanted by being threaded into the bone with a driving tool, its socket (28) en-gaging the near end (12) of the device (14). The socket (28) of the locking cap (10) can be smooth, or it can be threaded so as to thread onto the near end (12) of the device (14) as the cap (10) is threaded into the bone. If threaded, the pitch of the cap's outer threads (16) can exceed the pitch of the inner threads (30) so that the cap (10) advances into the bone more quickly than it adv-ances onto the end (12) of the device (14). Alternatively, the inner thread (30) pitch can exceed, of equal, the outer thread (16) pitch so that the cap (10) advances into the bone more slowly than, or at the same rate as, it advances onto the end (12) of the de-vice (14), respectively.
