Title: Closure; tamper evidencing; child resisting
Inventor: JENNINGS MARK RICHARD
IPC: B65D47/08
Filed: 1996-02-22
Abstract: A closure for attachment to a container may have tamper evidencing means and child proofing means and is non-releasably attached to the container. The closure has a base member for non-releasable attachment to the container and providing a dispensing opening, and a cover member such as a hinged lid or rotatable cover. In one example [figs.3-5] the base member 1 has a cover member 3 attached thereto by a hinge 4 prior to attachment to the container. The base member attaches to the container by undercut formations and the cover hinges down to attach to the opposite side of the base by non-releasable formations 6-8. Thus once assembled the cover cannot be opened. The hinge 4 has a weakened line and can be broken. A serviceable hinge is provided on the other side of the cover by the formations 6 being attached to the base via a small hinged plate 5. Child proofing may be provided by including walls which have to be flexed to allow the cover to pivot. In an alternative the cover is a rotatable disc with an aperture which aligns with an aperture in the base member to form a dispensing opening. The initial attachment of the cover to the base is by a similar hinging and latching arrangement as above, but the initial hinge is broken by rotation of the disc like cover. In this embodiment child proofing is provided by suitable frictional engagement of the disc like cover and the base.

Abstract: A currency monitoring apparatus comprises a scanner 2 connected to a control computer 10 and a storage facility 4, 5. A cashier scans a tendered bank note which, if recognised as being genuine, is passed to the security bag 4 contained in a strongbox 5. The control computer 10 keeps a running total of the amount stored. As the amount held in the bag 4 reaches a predetermined level the computer 10 issues a 'bag check' warning indicating that the bag will soon require changing. When the bag is full a 'bag full' warning is sent by the computer to the scanner display, or to a central security display panel, and the bag is replaced by security personnel. Whilst the door to the strongbox 5 is open the computer 10 disables the scanner 2 and displays a 'locked' message. The computer also prints a slip 12 which includes the total amount of currency in the bag 4 and this, along with the bag is transferred to the counting store 14 or 15. The computer 10 can be used to control a number of such currency receipt points through serial data links and can provide end-of-day and end-of-week totals.

Patent GB-2331622-A (GB)
Title: Quadrupole RF ion traps
Inventor: FRANZEN JOCHEN
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 1998-11-20
Abstract: The invention relates to quadrupole RF ion traps for use in a mass spectrometer, either as storage elements or as mass separators for the measurement of the mass spectrum of stored ions. The invention particularly relates to ion traps, which should show a pure quadrupole field without superimpositions of higher multipoles or a quadrupole field with superimposition of one or several higher multipole fields of a precisely defined intensity, but no others, particularly no higher multipole fields. The limitation of ring and end cap electrodes to finite dimensions induces components of higher multipole fields within the ion trap, which may cause negative influences on the storage and scanning behaviour. The invention consists of strongly suppressing the formation of higher multipole fields other than those required, by reduction of the gap width between the electrodes in the marginal area, compared to the gap width of electrodes modelled exactly according to the equipotential surfaces of the required field mixture of infinite expansion. A particularly strong suppression of higher multipole fields can be achieved by a wave-shaped constriction in the marginal area between the electrodes. Fig 3 shows the field lines between the ring electrode (1) and an end cap electrode (2).

Title: Cellulosic fibrous structures having regions of different features and apparatus and method for making them
Inventor: TROKHAN PAUL DENNIS
IPC: D21F1/44
Filed: 1992-06-22
Abstract: Disclosed is a cellulosic fibrous structure, such as paper. The fibrous structure has at least three intensively distinct regions. The regions are distinguished from one another by intensive properties such as basis weight, density and projected average pore size, or thickness. In one embodiment, the fibrous structure has regions of two basis weights, a high basis weight region and a low basis weight region. The high basis weight region is further subdivided into low and high density regions so that a fibrous structure having three regions is produced. A second embodiment is a four region fibrous structure. Two of the regions have generally equivalent relatively high basis weights and two of the regions having generally equivalent relatively low basis weights. The high basis weight regions and low basis weight regions are further subdivided according to relatively high and relatively low densities, so that when the high and low basis weight regions are permuted with the high and low density regions, four different regions result. The regions distinguished by density will have inversely proportionate projected average pore sizes.

Title: Immunoassays for anti-hcv antibodies using antigens with conformational epitopes
Inventor: CHIEN DAVID Y
IPC: C07K14/18
Filed: 1993-07-02
Abstract: Immunoassay methods utilizing HCV envelope antigens that contain conformational epitopes reactive with antibodies in serum from infected individuals are useful for screening and diagnosis. These antigens detect antibodies that are not detected by denatured HCV envelope antigens. In addition, these HCV envelope antigens comprised of conformational epitopes are more immunologically reactive than a number of other HCV antigens. This is the first evidence that conformational epitopes may be involved in the immunologic response to HCV antigens.
