Patent EP-0279994-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BERZOFSKY JAY A
IPC: G06Q50/00
Filed: 1987-12-30
Abstract: This invention relates to a method of predict­ing segments of protein sequences that are likely to be recognized by T lymphocytes and therefore to stimulate cellular immunity. The method involves determining the potential immunogenicity of certain protein sequences by using T-cell site predictors. These selected protein segments are evaluated and ranked according to the prob­ability of the existence of a T-lymphocyte antigenic site. Peptides are thus selected as potential vaccine candidates in the treatment of infections for which T-­cell mediated immunity is an important defense. Even when an antibody immunity is the critical defense, helper T cells are necessary for a memory antibody response.

Abstract: A method of optimizing the operation of a vehicle or a fleet of vehicles by gathering data, and utilizing a computer (20). The data includes the number and type of tire positions per vehicle, the types of tires at each position and the cost of such types of tires. The computer (20) is used to optimize the operation by determining at least one of the following: the type of tire to be used at each position, the suitable tread depths for removal of tires from one tire position to another, a tire rotation sequence for the transfer of tires. This method further provides for gathering data by surveying a fleet of vehicles through the use of a portable hand held computer (50).

Abstract: A circulation valve, for suspension in a well bore on a pipe string, comprises a cylindrical housing (32) having an open longitudinal passageway (50) therethrough and a circulation port (90) disposed through a wall thereof. A valve mandrel (54) is slidably received in the housing and is movable between a position in which fluid may be circulated only between the passageway and the exterior of the housing, a position in which fluid may be circulated only between the exterior of the housing and the passageway, and a position in which fluid may not be circulated in either direction. An annular piston is operatively connected to the valve mandrel and has a first side exposed to the pressure exterior of the housing and a second side exposed to the pressure interior of the housing, to permit movement of the valve mandrel to its various positions by application of pressure to the interior and exterior of the housing. A substantially cylindrical spring (150) includes a plurality of elongate fingers (152) disposed about the circumference of a splined mandrel (108) to which the valve mandrel is connected. The spring includes a substantially arcuate collar (158) formed about the radially inner surface thereof which is engageable with different grooves (116,118,120) in the splined mandrel in order to retain the valve mandrel in preselected positions. A pressure differential of a predetermined value between the annulus and the passageway is required to bow the spring fingers radially outwardly thereby enabling mandrel movement while preventing mandrel movement in response to low pressure pump surges and low pressure differentials generated by movement of the pipe string on which the tool is suspended.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for verifying the presence or, conversely, determining that one or more ferromagnetic components is missing from an inspected assembly. The apparatus includes a scanning head that creates a magnetic field. An assembly having one or more ferromagnetic components is located in a predetermined position relative to the magnetic field. A load cell subassembly of the scanning head produces an output signal representative of its movement, which movement is proportional to the number and location of ferromagnetic components in the assembly. The apparatus further includes a processing network that processes the output signal in order to provide an indication as to whether or not one or more ferromagnetic components is missing from the assembly. In conjunction with such processing, previously obtained reference values are compared with the determined magnitude obtained by processing the output signal from the load cell subassembly.
