Abstract: The sampling process for measuring electrical resistivity by applying an electrical current via two emission electrodes (A,B) and measuring the potential between two measuring electrodes (M) comprises placing a probe containing a number of emission electrodes (A) and a number of measuring electrodes (M) in a drill shaft, with the number of emission electrodes being greater than the number of measuring electrodes. The emission electrodes are spaced at regular intervals and the measuring electrodes are placed centrally between the emission electrodes along the length of the probe. A fixed emission electrode (B) is placed "at infinity". The emission electrodes are supplied in turn and the potential between a pair of measuring electrodes is measured to obtain information representing the soil at the level of that pair of electrodes and at different positions in the soil relative to the probe, each position being related to one emission electrode. The above step is repeated for the different pairs of measuring electrodes to obtain information representing the soil at various levels. Also claimed are: (i) the application of the above process to controlling the injection of material such as concrete or grout into the soil; (ii) a probe for use in the above process; and (iii) a sampling device for carrying out the above process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification of antibodies which are specific to human B7.1 antigen (CD80) and which are capable of inhibiting the binding of B7.1 to a CD28 receptor and which are not capable of inhibiting the binding of B7.1 to a CTLA-4 receptor. Two of these antibodies, 16C10 and 7C10, significantly inhibit the production of IL-2, in spite of the existence of a second activating ligand B7.2 (CD86). Blocking of the primary activation signal between CD28 and B7.1 (CD80) with these antibodies while allowing the unimpaired or coincident interaction of CTLA-4 and B7.1 and/or B7.2 represents a combined antagonistic effect on positive co-stimulation with an agonistic effect on negative signalling. These antibodies may be used as specific immunosuppressants, e.g., for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and to prevent organ transplant rejection.

Abstract: A syringe as disclosed having an elongated cylindrical tube open at both a first and second end. The first open end of the tube provides both a filling and dispensing opening for the contents of the tube. A cylindrical piston is slidably mounted within the tube and has a first axial end facing the fill and dispensing opening and a second axial end facing the opposite or second opening. The piston has an outside diameter slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the tube so that an annular clearance space is formed between the tube and the piston. A wiper extends radially outwardly from the second end of the piston and frictionally engages the cylindrical internal surface of the tube. In practice, when the syringe is filled, air is compressed through the annular opening and deflects the wiper such that the air escapes out of the syringe tube. The fill material, however, is sufficiently viscous such that, after air has been expelled from the tube, the viscous material slidably displaces the piston within the interior of the tube. A novel tamper evident cap is also disclosed for closing the second end of the tube.

Abstract: A composition and method of fabrication are presented with which nanoparticles may be used as a tool to deliver drugs to a specific target within or on a mammalian body. Specifically, by using stabilizers other than Dextran 70.000 during the polymerization process, according to the present invention, surfactants, which were deemed necessary coating material in the prior art, are no longer required. This is a significant simplification of the fabrication procedure. Many substances are useful as stabilizers, but the preferred stabilizers comprise Dextran 12.000 or polysorbate 85. In the present invention a drug is either incorporated into or adsorbed onto the stabilized nanoparticles. This drug/nanoparticle complex is then administered to the organism on any route such as by oral application, injection or inhalation, whereupon the drug exerts its effect at the desired site of pharmacological action. In a novel medical treatment process, the drug/nanoparticle complex may be administered preferably either by intravenous injection or by oral application. The resulting drug action, which does not occur or which occurs only to an insufficient extent when the drug is administered alone, shows that when linked to said nanoparticles drugs can reach a specific target within or on the mammalian body. The usefulness of the present invention as a universal approach to deliver any drug or diagnostic agent to a specific target within or on the mammalian body was demonstrated by experiments showing an unexpected transfer of the drug across the blood brain barrier.

Abstract: A calcia mold facecoat is applied to a mold for casting parts composed of reactive metals such as titanium and titanium aluminide. The facecoat is composed of a calcium carbonate based slurry comprising a dense grain calcium carbonate powder and an aqueous based binder. It is applied to a wax or plastic pattern used in the lost wax process for fabricating a casting shell. The mold is built using multiple dipping of alumina-silicate slurries, and then fired at high temperatures in an oxygen rich environment. The metal part is cast before the fired mold can cool below about 800 DEG  C. Organometallic based slurry binders are avoided and significant cost savings are realized owing to the benign nature of the aqueous based suspensions with respect to the environment.

Abstract: Spray-on cleaners that can be delivered by pump or pressurized gas aerosol spray head have been known to cause respiratory distress in the form of a chocking mist. The chocking mist associated with aerosol use can be reduced or eliminated by formulating surface cleaning compositions that can be dispensed through a spray head resulting in an aerosol or mist droplet having a mean particle size greater than about 200  mu m. We have found that typical spray-on cleaners have a mean particle size less than about 175  mu m and, depending on the concentration and degree of irritation of strong base or strong acid components, can cause severe respiratory distress. Preferred thickeners have been found for use in the non-chocking aerosol or mist compositions.
