Title: Antigen binding fragments that specifically detect cancer cells, nucleotides encoding the fragments, and use thereof for the prophylaxis and detection of cancers
Inventor: KAPLAN HOWARD A
IPC: A61K45/00
Filed: 1997-05-22
Granted: 2007-05-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to monoclonal antibody H11 and antigen binding fragments that specifically bind to the antigen recognized by H11, the C-antigen. The C-antigen is found specifically on neoplastic cells and not on normal cells. Also disclosed are polynucleotide and polypeptide derivatives based on H11, including single chain V region molecules and fusion proteins, and various pharmaceutical compositions. When administered to an individual, the H11 antibody is effective in diagnosing, localizing, and/or treating neoplasias. The invention further provides methods for treating a neoplastic disease, particularly melanoma, neuroblastoma, glioma, soft tissue sarcoma, and small cell lung carcinoma. Patients who are in remission as a result of traditional modes of cancer therapy may be treated with a composition of this invention in hopes of reducing the risk of recurrence.  Patients may also be treated concurrently with the antibodies and traditional anti-neoplastic agents.

Title: Refrigerator door corner construction
Inventor: ESTRAVILLO ARNOLD
IPC: F25D23/02
Filed: 1999-05-27
Granted: 2004-07-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to a door for a refrigerator appliance having reinforcing corner brackets that structurally complete the corners of the door. The corner brackets are located at the door corners of the vertical and horizontal side walls of the outer door skin. The brackets structurally replace and reinforce the horizontal side wall immediately adjacent the vertical side wall with a thicker, stronger material, such as, for example, metal or steel, so that loading normally transferred to the outer door skin through the horizontal side wall at this corner location is instead transferred directly to the brackets mounted in the door. The horizontal side wall at the corner adjacent the vertical side wall has a cut-out or an open section. The brackets each have an opening positioned at the cut-out section. The opening is adapted to receive a hinge pin or closure cap. The door has an elongate supporting strut in the form of a hollow cylindrical tube engaging the brackets to reinforce the corners.      The strut extends adjacent the one vertical side wall for supporting the corner brackets within the door to reinforce the door. Reinforcement brackets and tubes are located on each side of the door.

Title: Method and apparatus for modifying the envelope of an rf carrier signal to remove copy protection signals therefrom
Inventor: QUAN RONALD
IPC: H04N5/913
Filed: 1998-02-04
Granted: 2002-04-09
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for disabling the effect of copy protection signals embedded in video signals, wherein the detection and modification of the copy protection signals is accomplished in the RF domain rather than in the baseband video domain as typically accomplished at the present time. To this end, various embodiments are disclosed for deriving a timing control signal from the modulated RF carrier signal, which timing control signal is indicative of the television lines which contain the copy protection signals. Several techniques in the RF domain responsive to the timing control signal are disclosed for replacing, attenuating, suppressing, pulse narrowing or otherwise modifying the modulated RF carrier signals during the interval of the copy protection signals to disable the effects thereof, to allow the making of acceptable recordings during demodulating subsequently by, for example, a record VCR. Also disclosed are means for adding copy protection signals to an RF carrier signal modulated with a video signal by modulating, for example, the protection signals onto the RF carrier signal in the RF  domain.

Title: Living olefin polymerization processes
Inventor: BAUMANN ROBERT
IPC: C08F2/00
Filed: 1998-04-09
Granted: 2008-02-12
Abstract: Processes for the living polymerization of olefin monomers with terminal carbon-carbon double bonds are disclosed. The processes employ initiators that include a metal atom and a ligand having two group 15 atoms and a group 16 atom or three group 15 atoms.  The ligand is bonded to the metal atom through two anionic or covalent bonds and a dative bond. The initiators are particularly stable under reaction conditions in the absence of olefin monomer. The processes provide polymers having low polydispersities, especially block copolymers having low polydispersities. It is an additional advantage of these processes that, during block copolymer synthesis, a relatively small amount of homopolymer is formed.

Patent CA-2295499-C (CA)
Inventor: STAVENUITER ANTONIUS CONSTANTI
IPC: H01Q1/18
Filed: 1998-07-08
Granted: 2008-01-29
Abstract: The invention concerns an enhanced system for the stabilization of an object with reference to a moving platform. The invention is in particular suitable for the stabilization of a shipbome optical search sensor.    The system comprises a stabilization platform and a regulator. According to the invention, the regulator calculates control signals for the stabilization platform on the basis of a combination of absolute ship's angular position signals and signals produced by rate gyro systems mounted on the stabilization platform. Thus, disturbances caused by flexure of the ship's structure and the stabilization platform are effectively compensated for. Said signals are preferably combined by frequency-dependent weighting.

Abstract: An automatic sample testing machine for testing samples stored in test cards.  The machine has a test sample positioning system for moving a tray containing a plurality of test sample cards and fluid receptacles among various stations in the machine. The machine has a diluting station for adding a predetermined quantity of diluent to the receptacles as needed. A pipetting station transfers fluid from one receptacle to another. A  vacuum station is provided having a vacuum chamber moveable relative to the tray between upper and lower positions. The chamber cooperates with the tray to make a sealing engagement with the top surface of the tray when it is lowered to the lower position. A vacuum generator supplies vacuum to the chamber. When the vacuum is released from the chamber, the fluid samples are loaded into the cards from the receptacles. The test sample positioning system moves the tray to a cutting and sealing station and then to an incubation station and loads the cards one at a time into a carousel within the incubation station. A test card transport station transports the test cards from the incubation station to an optical reading station, where optical measurements (e.g., transmittance and/or fluorescence optical testing) is conducted on the wells of the card. When the card has been read, it is either moved back to the incubation station for additional incubation and reading or transferred to a stacking card disposal system when the reading is complete.

Title: Automatic tape crossover
Inventor: BRAVIN BEN
IPC: B65H21/00
Filed: 2001-10-02
Granted: 2009-08-04
Abstract: An automatic tape crossover machine having two feeding mechanisms to supply running and new tapes, respectively. A powered cutter is provided through which the running tape is to pass and be cut in response to a cut signal, where the cutter is positioned downstream of the first tape feeding mechanism. The machine also includes a joining mechanism at which a portion of a new tape is to be joined to the running tape in response to a join signal. Control circuitry automatically determines whether a tape exhaustion condition has been reached and asserts the join and cut signals to join the running and new tapes and to cut the running tape, before the tape feeding mechanism is emptied of the running tape. The machine thus allows the automatic transition from the running tape to the new tape, i.e. without requiring the presence or manual assistance of a human operator when joining the two tapes. In addition, the process line speed need not be altered for the crossover, thereby reducing the probability of inconsistencies in product quality.
