derived from any of the spacer sequences as represented in figs. 1-103 under the same
hybridization and wash conditions;   (iv) detecting the hybrids formed in step (iii) with each of the probes used under appropiate

Abstract: A system for controlling vehicles (20) to
provide transportation services without need for
human intervention. A database (10) stores records
each documenting needed transportation services.
Processing circuitry (which may be one or several
networked computers) performs a dispatching process
(26) which reviews these records, locates records
indicating a need for immediate transportation
service, and instructs vehicles to provide the
service. The processing circuitry also performs a
monitoring process (28) which monitors vehicle
activities by reviewing the records, and
automatically obtained vehicle activity information,
to identify transportation services which are not
being adequately provided, and refer these to human
dispatchers (16) for special attention. A variety
of methods for obtaining and updating vehicle
activity information are disclosed, as are various
applications for the system.

Abstract: A coin dispensing device for an entertainment machine has a
passageway (46) between an outlet (8) and a coin store (19). Dispense of
coins from the store (19) is effected by a motor-driven feed device (50). A
controller (40) which controls operation of the feed device (50) is located
within the coin store (19) and is connected to a coin sensing arrangement
(42, 44) in the passageway. The sensing arrangement has a transmitter
(42) which produces a modulated light beam which is detected by a
receiver (44). The beam is interrupted by a dispensed coin and operation
of the feed device (50) is then arrested for a time period. The feed device
(50) can only resume operation after this time period if the receiver (44)
again detects the correctly modulated light beam.

Abstract: The current invention relates to the preparation of
an improved cathode active material for non-aqueous
lithium electrochemical cell. In particular, the
cathode active material comprises ε-phase silver
vanadium oxide prepared by using a γ-phase silver
vanadium oxide starting material. The reaction of γ-phase
SVO with a silver salt produces the novel ε-phase
SVO possessing a lower surface area than ε-phase SVO
produced from vanadium oxide (V 2 O 5 ) and a similar silver
salt as starting materials. Consequently, the low
surface area ε-phase SVO material provides an advantage
in greater long term stability in pulse dischargeable
cells.

Abstract: An improved head assembly having a staggered leading edge step scheme for
tuned air entrainment for improved head performance in higher capacity disk drives. The head
assembly having a staggered leading edge step scheme improves the performance of the heads
by controlling an entrainment of air thereby forming a desired air bearing between a disk
surface and the longitudinal rails of each slider of the head assembly thereby forcing the
storage media to comply in an advantageous way (e.g., conform) to cause intimacy at the
sensor. The improved head assembly having a staggered leading edge step scheme allows the
flying characteristics of the head to be controlled by providing a first rail including a sensor
for interfacing with the disk media and having a relatively long leading edge step that does
not entrain air well and a second rail not having a sensor and having a relatively short leading
edge step that entrains air better than the long leading edge step of the first rail. The first rail
having a relatively poor leading edge step for entraining air as compared to the second rail
allows the sensor to interface (e.g., contact) with the disk media, while the second rail having
a relatively good leading edge for the entrainment of air allows the second rail and the balance
of the slider to fly over the surface of the disk. This helps to improve the performance of the
head assembly for higher capacity disk drives. In addition, the present invention provides for
forming one leading edge step differently from the other and for varying the dimensions of
the staggered leading edge steps to further control the flying characteristics of the head
assemblies.

Abstract: The invention disclosed is a process for determining the cytoprotective activity of plasma that prevents the destruction of endothelial cells and forestalls the development of a number of diseases such as atherosclerosis, preeclampsia, edema, nephrotic syndrome, and stroke. The present invention includes a method of diagnosing a patient's proclivity to develop a disease having a correlation to a reduction in the concentration of pI 5.6 albumin in the plasma by determining a value indicative of the concentration of the pI 5.6 albumin that is not bound to VLDL ("free pI 5.6 albumin") in the patient's blood serum. The preferred embodiment of the process utilizes in vitro methods to obtain an indicator of the free pI 5.6 albumin instead of directly measuring the concentration of the free pI 5.6 albumin. The preferred method comprises the steps of:(a) providing a plasma sample containing free albumin, triglycerides, very low density lipoproteins, low density lipoproteins, and non-esterified fatty acids bound to the free albumin;(b) determining the concentration of the free albumin;(c) determining the concentration of the non-esterified fatty acids bound to the free albumin; and(d) calculating a value indicative of the toxicity preventing ability of the plasma by comparing the concentration of the free albumin to the concentration of the non-esterified fatty acids bound to the free albumin. The present process does not provide direct measurement of the cytoprotective activity of plasma, but rather, an empirical value which has clinical relevance in identifying patients with a high chance of developing diseases inhibited by pI 5.6 albumin.

Abstract: A disc-type cosmetic applicator has a plurality of individual discs connected by integrally molded springs to yield a single disc array. The space between the individual discs of the disc array is compressible during withdrawal from a container so that excess product can be removed from the applicator by a wiper. After passage through the wiper, the springs between the individual discs are biased to return to the array to a fully expanded position. The compressing of the discs during withdrawal allows a controlled amount of product to remain on the applicator for application by the consumer, and the returning of the discs to their expanded position by the spring causes the discs to assume a configuration which allows the applicator to effectively comb and separate the eyelashes. The single unit construction of the multi-disc array allows efficient and convenient assembly of a complete applicator by securing a single disc array to a conventional applicator stem with a simple pin.
