Title: Methods of selecting internalizing antibodies
Inventor: MARKS JAMES D
IPC: C12Q1/00
Filed: 1999-04-22
Granted: 2012-07-10
Abstract: This invention provides methods of selecting antibodies that are internalized into target cells. The methods generally involve contacting target cells with one or more members of an antibody phage display library, shown in the figure.  The members of the phage display library are also contacted with cells of subtractive cell line. The target cells are then washed to remove the subtractive cell line cells and members of phage display library that are non-specifically bound or weakly bound to the target cells. The target cells are cultured under conditions where members of the phage display library can be internalized if bound to an internalizing marker and internalized members of the phage display library are then identified.

Title: Hydrocarbon gas processing
Inventor: WILKINSON JOHN D
IPC: F25J3/02
Filed: 1999-11-24
Granted: 2004-05-11
Abstract: A process for the recovery of ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene and heavier hydrocarbon components from a hydrocarbon gas stream is disclosed. In recent years, the preferred method of separating a hydrocarbon gas stream generally includes supplying at least portions of the gas stream to a fractionation tower having at least one reboiler, and often one or more side reboilers, to supply heat to the column by withdrawing and heating some of the tower liquids to produce stripping vapors that separate the more volatile components from the desired components. The reboiler and side reboilers (if any) are typically integrated into the feed stream cooling scheme to provide at least a portion of the refrigeration needed to condense the desired components for subsequent fractionation in the distillation column. In the process disclosed, the tower reboiling scheme is modified to use one or more tower liquid distillation streams from a point higher in the column than is used in the conventional reboiling scheme, providing colder stream(s) for the reboiler(s) that allow more effective cooling of the feed streams and thereby improve the efficiency with which the desired components are recovered. In addition, the tower liquid streams withdrawn from a higher point in the column contain larger quantities of the more volatile components, which when vaporized provide better stripping of undesirable components like carbon dioxide without reducing the recovery of the desired components. The heated distillation stream is returned to a lower point on the fractionation tower that is separated from the withdrawal point by at least one theoretical stage.

Abstract: A hay harvester has a double windrow cross-conveyor supported rearwardly of the harvesting header to receive a stream of conditioned crop materials from the header and transport the same laterally to an outboard position. A deflector adjacent the discharge end of the conveyor is maintained in a lowered position to direct materials to the ground to form a first windrow during a first pass and is then placed in a raised position during a return pass so as to allow the stream discharging from the cross-conveyor to be deposited close to the first windrow, thus forming a double windrow.   The cross-conveyor is hingedly affixed to the vehicle in such a manner that the normally tilted down, lower front edge of the cross-conveyor can be raised up into a transport position for higher ground clearance or to switch to single swathing. The header and cross-conveyor are preferably plumbed in a parallel fluid flow relationship so that they are raised or lowered simultaneously.

Title: Force resisting corrugated assembly
Inventor: WHATLEY PAUL M
IPC: B65D19/00
Filed: 2000-03-17
Granted: 2005-01-11
Abstract: The present invention is a force resisting corrugated assembly (10), and can be constructed into a pallet or dunnage support made from corrugated paperboard that minimizes adverse environmental impact, occupies little space before it is configured, and effectively saves production, storage and transportation costs. The present corrugated paperboard assembly can be shipped and stored as either one or more die-cut and scored corrugated paperboard pieces, thereby eliminating excess volume, with the pieces being readily interconnectable to form a complete pallet or dunnage support assembly. Preferably, the paperboard of the present invention further has a low moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR), excellent glueability and recyclability. The present invention incorporates a lower and upper frame member foldably constructed from corrugated paperboard blanks. Each frame member has ribs (350) having locking slots. The lower and upper frame member can differ in dimensions, but in a preferred form incorporate nearly identical elements, thus simplifying production of the blanks and the folding steps necessary to form the present corrugated structure. After foldably constructing each frame member, the upper frame member is rotated 90 degrees relative to the lower frame member, and placed upside down over the lower frame member. The ribs (350t) of the lower frame member lock into the locking slots of the ribs (350b) of the upper frame member, and the ribs of the upper frame member lock into the locking slots of the ribs of the lower frame member.

Title: Enhanced cordless telephone platform using bluetooth technology
Inventor: HUNDAL SUKHDEEP
IPC: H04M1/72505
Filed: 2002-01-29
Granted: 2007-05-15
Abstract: A cordless telephone implementing using a BLUETOOTH wireless bearer is presented. A BLUETOOTH voice data structure is implemented by coding the voice data at a bitrate below 64 kb/s, such that the full number of payload bits provided by the BLUETOOTH voice data structure are not required for transmission of voice data. The packet payload is then encoded in a non-standard format to implement a robust error detection and/or correction protocol for the voice data, as well as for the provision of a low-rate data channel for transmission of information such as caller ID. Alternatively, a BLUETOOTH non-voice data structure can be employed by transmitting encoded voice data as user payload bits. The data link is then flushed each time new voice data is ready for sending by the transmitting device. If slots are available before the data link is flushed, unsuccessfully transmitted data can be automatically resent, thereby implementing time and frequency diversity.
