Title: Apparatus including system control of motor temperature
Inventor: DIGIULIO PETER C
IPC: H02H7/085
Filed: 1994-02-17
Abstract: APPARATUS INCLUDING SYSTEM CONTROL OF MOTOR TEMPERATURE   Abstract of the Disclosure The method and apparatus for controlling the temperature of elements in an apparatus and particularly mail processing apparatus includes temperature sensors such as thermistors arranged in juxtaposition with the elements to provide temperature information to a central motor control.  If the temperature of an element is determined to be excessive, the system throughput may be reduced by the motor controller to lower the temperature of the element until the situation is corrected.  The advantage is that there is no requirement to maximize the tolerances of the element for all expected worse case conditions.  The invention also enables reduced performance even with the failure of other system components such as cooling fans without endangering the motors and other elements.

Title: Transgenic non-human animals capable of producing heterologous antibodies
Inventor: LONBERG NILS
IPC: C07K16/30
Filed: 1992-12-17
Abstract: The invention relates transgenic non-human animals capable of producing heterologous antibodies and transgenic non--human animals having inactivated endogenous immunoglobulin genes. In one aspect of the invention, endogenous immunoglob-ulin genes are suppresed by antisense polynucleotides and/or by antiserum directed against endogenous immunoglobulins.  He-terologous antibodies are encoded by immunoglobulin genes not normally found in the genome of that species of non-human animal. In one aspect of the invention, one or more transgenes containing sequences of unrearranged heterogolous human immu-noglobulin heavy chains are introduced into a non-human animal thereby forming a transgenic animal capable of functionally rearranging transgenic immunoglobulin sequences and producing a repertoire of antibodies of various isotypes encoded by hu-man immunoglobulin genes. Such heterologous human antibodies are produced in B-cells which are thereafter immortalized, e.g., by fusing with an immortalizing cell line such as a myeloma or by manipulating such B-cells by other techniques to perpetuate a cell line capable of producing a monoclonal heterologous antibody. The invention also relates to heavy and light chain immunog-lobulin transgenes for making such transgenic non-human animals as well as methods and vectors for disrupting endogenous im-munogiobulin loci in the transgenic animal.

Filed: 1994-10-05
Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A diagnostic system for a multiple cylinder internal combustion engine includes a digital engine analyzer having an oscilloscope display controlled by microprocessors operating under menu-driven stored program control.  A clamp-type, Hall-effect pickup probe non-invasively detects a current flowing through a conductor in the engine to generate a current detection signal which is fed to an amplifier adapter which is, in turn, coupled to an input terminal of the analyzer.  The analyzer processes the amplified signal to produce a waveform display signal which is displayed on the oscilloscope in either of two different display formats.  Another input lead of the analyzer senses the number 1 cylinder firing and the analyzer synchronizes the waveform display signal to the number 1 cylinder signal.
