Title: Dual wafer attachment process
Inventor: HIGASHI ROBERT E
IPC: H01L21/02
Filed: 2000-08-02
Abstract: Producing the microstructures on separate substrates, which are bonded. One of these structures may be temperature sensitive CMOS electronics. There may be  a high-temperature thermal sensor on one wafer and low-temperature CMOS electronics. In the case where the bonding material is polyimide, the polyimide on both surfaces to be bonded is soft baked. The wafers are placed  in a wafer bonder and, using precision alignment, brought into contact. The application of pressure and heat forms a bond between the two coatings of polyimide. A wafer may need to be removed from a combined structure. One of the bonded structures may be placed on a sacrificial layer that can be etche d away to facilitate removal of a wafer without grinding. After wafer removal,  a contact from the backside of one of the structures now on polyimide to the other on the wafer may be made. Sacrificial material, for example, polyimide , may be removed from between the structures that are connected via a contact.  A microstructure may be bonded with something that is not a microstructure, su ch as single-or multi-layer material, crystalline or amorphous.

Title: Single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotide mutational vectors
Inventor: METZ RICHARD A
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2000-08-25
Abstract: The invention concerns the introduction of predetermined genetic changes in target genes of a living cell by introducing an oligodeoxynucleotide encoding the predetermined change. The oligodeoxynucleotides are effective in animal, plant and bacterial cells. Specific end modifications that greatly increase the effectiveness of the oligodeoxynucleotides in bacteria are described.  Surprisingly, unmodified oligodeoxynucleotides can be as effective in mammalian cells, including in vivo hepatocytes, as the modified nucleotides and can be as effective or more effective than chimeric oligonucleotides that consist of a mixture of deoxynucleotides and 2'-O-methyl ribonucleotides.

Abstract: An everlasting candle comprising a wax body with a recessed hollow in its top for receiving an insulating container, and a smaller holding container with an annular rim set within the insulating container and communicating with the insulating container only by the rim (thereby to provide an insulative airspace between the two containers), the holding container being suitably dimensioned to replaceably receive a tea light votive candle. In use, the replaceable tea light votive candle within the everlasting candle burns with the same flame as a conventional paraffin candle, and will be liquefied and consumed during use. However, since the main wax body of the everlasting candle is separate and insulated from the replaceable tea light votive candle, the wax body of the everlasting candle will not be liquefied or consumed. Preferably, the holding container is constructed of metal, and the rim of the holding container includes a groove into which scented aromatherapy oils or the like may be placed so as to diffuse into the air. The heat of the burning tea light votive candle warms the metal holding container, thereby accelerating the evaporation of the scented oil.

Title: Communication between a fixed network and a movable network with means for suspending operation of the moveable network
Inventor: MEAD ANDREW ROBERT
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 2000-08-10
Abstract: A satellite telephone system for communication between a fixed network (4) and a moveable network (1) on board a vehicle, has means for suspending operation of the moveable network, for example when the moveable network could interfere with a fixed network, during safety-critical stages of a flight, or to enforce "quiet" periods on board. When operation of the moveable network (1) is suspended a control signal is transmitted to the fixed network (4), causing the fixed network (4) to intercept calls directed to the moveable network, thereby avoiding unnecessary signal traffic over the satellite link (3, 6, 13). The moveable network may be a wireless network (Figures 1, 2), or a wired network (Figure 4).

Title: Wheel cover
Inventor: SAITO EIJI
IPC: B60B7/06
Filed: 2002-07-18
Abstract: A cover body (22) has mounting claws (25), which are provided on a peripheral part thereof and restrained by a wire ring (23) from deforming toward the center of the cover body. The cover body is attached to a disc wheel of a vehicle by these mounting claws in such a way as to cover an outer surface part of the disc wheel. In this wheel cover, the necessity for additionally attaching the wire ring to the cover body is eliminated by inserting the wire ring thereinto and performing die-forming. Further, the stiffness of the cover body can be enhanced. Thus, a forming cycle time can be decreased. Moreover, the thickness of the cover body can be reduced.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for enhancing the circulating half-life of antibody-based fusion proteins. Disclosed methods and compositions rely on altering the amino acid sequence of the junction region between the antibody moiety and the fused protein moiety in an antibody-based fusion protein. An antibody-based fusion protein with an altered amino acid sequence in the junction region has a greater circulating half-life when administered to a mammal. Disclosed methods and compositions are particularly useful for reducing tumor size and metastasis in a mammal.
