Abstract: This invention relates to hepatitis B virus ("HBV") core antigen particles that are characterized by multiple immunogen specificities. More particularly, the invention relates to HBV core antigen particles comprising immunogens, epitopes, or other related structures, crosslinked thereto by ligands which are HBV capsid-binding peptides that selectively bind to HBV core protein.  Such particles may be used as delivery systems for a diverse range of immunogenic epitopes, including the HBV capsid-binding peptides, which advantageously also inhibit and interfere with HBV viral assembly by blocking the interaction between HBV core protein and HBV surface proteins. Mixtures of different immunogens and/or capsid-binding peptide ligands may be crosslinked to the same HBV core particle. Such resulting multicomponent or multivalent HBV core particles may be advantageously used in therapeutic and prophylactic vaccines and compositions, as well as in diagnostic compositions and methods using them.

Title: Method for alleviating female urinary incontinence
Inventor: RADOVANOVICH PETER MICHAEL
IPC: A61F5/37
Filed: 1999-12-21
Abstract: A method for alleviating female urinary incontinence especially during episodes of increased intra-abdominal pressure. The method includes the steps of providing a non-absorbent urinary incontinence device having a compressed resilient member which is capable of increasing the cross-section area of the device when expanded.  The device is inserted into a woman's vagina. The device cooperates with a woman's symphysis pubis to sandwich the urethral tube therebetween. The resilient member is allowed to expand within the vaginal canal such that at least a portion of the device increases in cross-sectional area and contacts all four interior walls of the vaginal canal and provides a supportive backdrop for the urethral tube. The urethral tube is then permitted to be compressed upon itself between the device and the symphysis pubis thereby limiting involuntary urine flow.

IPC: C23C18/24
Filed: 1999-12-14
Abstract: Process for the direct metallizing of the surface of a plastic object. The surface of the plastic object is roughened by pickling. The surface is activated with the aid of a colloidal or ionogenic aqueous solution of a fir st precious metal, which colloidal or ionogenic aqueous solution also contains a second base metal. This forms an activation coat on the surface containing t he first precious and the second base metal. Electron conductivity of the activation coat is provided with the aid of a treatment solution, with which  the second base metal is at least partially dissolved out of the activation coat and an electron conducting substance is adsorbed in the activation coat . Then the electron-conductive activation coat is metallized. Before the electron conducting activation coat is metallized, the sequence of steps "activation of the surface and establishment of electronic conductivity" is repeated at least once.

Abstract: A locking apparatus configured to restrict access to articles on a conveyor, such as hooked members, by having a locking piece which, when mounted adjacent to a portion of the conveyor and moved to an extended position, the locking piece rests against the articles and conveyor, thereby preventing an operator from removing the articles from the conveyor. The movement of the locking piece can be automated by coupling each locking piece to an actuator which moves the locking piece to the extended position, and coupling each actuator to an air solenoid unit controlled by a computer system. A series of locking pieces used together selectively restrict access to articles suspended only from certain slots within a frame on the conveyor.  The series of locking pieces creates an automated locking system for unattended access of garments on a conveyor by being used on a conveyor placed inside a locked area and by being used in conjunction with an operator interface, a computer system and a selectively locking panel exposing a frontal frame on the conveyor path when opened.

Title: Tubing conveyed fracturing tool and method
Inventor: ESLINGER DAVID M
IPC: E21B43/26
Filed: 2002-03-07
Abstract: A tubing conveyed multi-position well treating tool having a tubular housing and a tubular inner member which are relatively positionable at "Set", "Treat", "Dump" and "Release" positions actuated by a mechanical indexing mechanism. The indexing mechanism is loaded by a spring, such as a compressed gas spring or mechanical spring, which urges the tubular housing away from the tubing connection of the inner tubular member, thus requiring no set-down forces for tool actuation or indexing. The treating tool is anchored within the well casing by hydraulic pressure actuated buttons, thus eliminating the typical requirement for anchoring actuation by set-down forces. The treating tool is sealed within the casing by pressure energized packers which are activated by the hydraulic pressure of fluid supplied from the tubing. The tool provides a bypass passage to allow communication of the zones above and below the tool while isolating the straddled interval to be treated.
