Patent GB-2136646-A (GB)
Title: Line circuit protection
Inventor: BRIDGER PETER STUART
IPC: H01H37/76
Filed: 1983-02-04
Abstract: To protect equipment such as a telephone subscriber's instrument or other terminal, which may include electronics it is necessary to deal with the relatively low overvoltage which is inadequate to blow fuses but which if it persists will damage that equipment. To do this there is a module which includes a spring-loaded junction (J) connected in series with one wire of the line and a zener diode (VZ) connected across the line but in heat conductive relation therewith. Then an overvoltage ouch as referred to will, if it persists, melt the junction, which is then pulled apart by its spring loading. <IMAGE>

Title: Orthopedic support package and method of forming the same
Inventor: SPANN DONALD CARROLL
IPC: B65D85/07
Filed: 1983-06-30
Abstract: A package containing an orthopedic support (A) constructed of open cell foam material comprises a bag (B) which is formed of heat sealable, thermoplastic, multi-layered film and which is sealed along a single open edge after insertion of the support which may have been compressed, therethrough. The orthopedic support is compressed in the bag to reduce an irregular height dimension by a major amount with displacement of a corresponding amount of air from the bag through its open edge prior to heat sealing. A collapsed marginal portion of the bag extends outwardly about the orthopedic support by an amount corresponding to the reduction in height of the orthopedic support and results from the tendency of the orthopedic support to expand so creating a partial vacuum in the bag. The compression of the support in the bag is obtained by using a press platen with a press bed, said platen or bed having a facing of yieldable material. Stop means for limits the movement of the press platen and bed toward each other. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2159171-A (GB)
Title: Process for screening or selecting cells
Inventor: JARVIS ALLAN P
IPC: C12P1/00
Filed: 1984-11-09
Abstract: An improved process for screening cell cultures, e.g., cultures of genetically modified cells or hybridomas, for cells secreting a specific substance involves encapsulating cells within membranes permeable to the substance of interest but substantially impermeable to the cells. The cell-containing capsules are cultured in an apparatus having plural compartments, e.g. a microtiter tray, each compartment containing an extracapsular medium and capsules containing cells. The encapsulated cell producing the substance of interest synthesizes and secretes the substance into the intracapsular volume of the capsule and the secreted substance passes through the membrane into the extracapsular medium. The extracapsular medium of each compartment is assayed for the substance and the process is repeated for the capsules from all compartments yielding a positive assay. Thus, by separating the capsules in a positive-assaying compartment from one another and placing them anew in separate compartments, the assay can be repeated to locate that compartment containing the cell which secretes the substance of interest, thereby to identify the cell and differentiate it from other cells.
