Patent EP-0357308-A3 (EP)
Title: Electronic module interlock and extraction mechanism
IPC: H05K7/10
Filed: 1989-08-21
Abstract: A removable power supply interlock and extraction 
mechanism (2) includes a switch guard (16), mounted to the 
front panel (14) of a module (4), movable between a safe 
position when the power switch (12) is off to keep it off, 
and a working position, at which the switch can be freely 
turned on and off. When the module is being inserted into 
an electrical unit (16), an actuator (34), mounted to the 
front panel, is rotated in its insertion rotary direction 
(50) so the switch guard moves from its safe to its working 
position; simultaneously a latching element (62) on the 
actuator engages a latching surface (60) on the unit so to 
drive the module into the unit until the connectors on the 
module and unit are fully connected. To remove the module, 
the power switch is first turned off. The actuator is then 
rotated in its retraction rotary direction (52) causing the 
switch guard to move into its safe position to keep the 
switch off; simultaneously the latching element engages the 
latching surface to drive the module away from the unit thus 
disconnecting the electrical connectors.

Title: Basophil-binding monoclonal antibody, method for separation of basophils, method for chemical mediator release from basophils, and method for testing release of basophil-derived chemical mediators.
Inventor: NISHIMURA SHINJI
IPC: C07K17/08
Filed: 1993-11-03
Abstract: The monoclonal antibodies of the present invention makes it possible to separate basophils suitable for the IgE-mediated specific chemical mediator release test, because it retains its reactivity with basophils even after being immobilized onto a solid carrier, and because it does not inhibit release of chemical mediators induced by allergens or anti-IgE antibody, and does not induce nonspecific release of chemical mediators. Also, the method for separating basophils of the present invention simplifies the separation of basophils from blood, and by using this method, the histamine release test which otherwise requires complex procedures can be simplified. Further, the group of cells obtained by the method for separating basophils of the present invention can easily be utilized in the release tests for chemical mediators released from basophils such as leukotriene and PAF, which otherwise require expertise for handling.

Abstract: The automatic seats in a vehicle are designed to minimize the
seriousness of car-crash injuries during a frontal collision. When the
vehicle collides against other vehicle at a relative velocity of 40 Km/h or
up, the backrest is pushed to recline backward to the rearmost by action
of springs and various mechanisms designed. Spring of either torsion
type or tension type is used. Collision results in pulling the upper part of
occupants fastened by designed safety-belts to recline backwards. Thus,
pelvis, chest and head of the occupant are moved away to the farmost and
can avoid striking with deforming frontal parts of the car intruding by
frontal collision. Chest injuries and brain damage can be avoided. The
safety seats are designed slightly different for either front seat or rear seat
passengers. The seat-belts are designed to dissipate impact energy of
collision to minimize harm to occupant's body.
