Abstract: While the most popular currently available compact disc carriers are structurally simple, they are lacking in several areas.  Such carriers are often difficult to open, they are fragile and thus easily broken, and they are usually stored vertically on edge so that the labels on the spines are difficult to read, and provide no indication of whether a disc is present in the carrier. A compact disc carrier, which deals with these shortcomings, includes a sleeve-like container defined by a top wall, side walls and tracks at the bottom ends of the side walls; and a tray defined by a bottom wall slidable in the tracks, a first pair of ledges on posts at the rear of the tray for supporting the rear edge of a disc, and a second pair of ledges on spring arms near the front of the tray for supporting the front edge of the disc.          When a disc is placed on the ledges, the spring arms flex outwardly slightly, and when the tray is slid into the container, the spring arms are bent by the sides of the container, whereby, when the tray is fully inserted into the container, tabs on the free ends of the arms spring outwardly through slots in the sides of the container to provide a visual indication that a disc is present in the carrier. If no disc is present, the tabs remain in the container.  Detents are provided on the bottom ends of the container side walls for engaging apertures in the top wall of a subjacent container so that carriers can be stacked horizontally, and will remain releasably latched together.

IPC: H04J14/08
Filed: 1994-10-11
Abstract: An optical pulse sequence is generated by applying a repetitive optical signal to an optical modulator connected in the laser cavity of a mode-locked laser. The pulse sequence in the laser cavity is then ouput. The repeat period of the repetitive optical signal is set to be equal to, or an integer multiple of, the cavity round-trip time. The laser is thereby driven to output pulses in bit positions corresponding to the non-zero pulses of the input repetitive optical signal. In one example, he output pulse sequence is used to control an optical switch to provide an OTDM programmable multiplexer using optical signals.

Title: Screening of combinatorial peptide libraries for selection of peptide ligand useful in affinity purification of target proteins
Inventor: BUETTNER JOSEPH A
IPC: C07K1/04
Filed: 1996-05-06
Abstract: Ligands that interact with a target can be more easily identified if false positive interactions (either specific or non-specific) from the detecting system are differentiated from the target-specific interaction. An improved method of identifying peptides which bind with a target protein is presented. The steps are: binding a random library of peptides to a support material, allowing detection reagents to contact the peptides and the support material then identifying theseinteractions, then allowing the target protein to selectively bind to the peptides, allowing detection reagents to contact the bound target protein, and characterizing the peptide bound to the identified support material. Interaction of a ligand or the support material with the detection reagents will cause a distinct color change which distinguishes those ligands which selectively bind to target protein. The characterized peptide can then be used in affinity purification of the target protein. In one embodiment, automation of the assay is demonstrated by flowing all immunoreagents through the beads in a column format ensuring highly efficient washing. In the preferred embodiment, a resin for peptide synthesis which is hydrophilic, contains spacers and may exhibit less nonspecific background than other resins permits synthesis and direct evaluation of combinatorial peptide libraries for binding to target proteins is utilized. Examples for the use of this new resin and methodology for identifying peptide-ligands for purification of proteins are presented .

Title: Preparation and use of immunoconjugates
Inventor: HANSEN HANS J
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 1994-12-05
Abstract: The present invention relates to immunocomprising an antibody fragment which is covalently bound to a diagnostic or therapeutic principle through a carbohydrate moiety at about position 18 in the light chain variable region of the antibody fragment. The invention also relates to immunoconjugates comprising an antibody moiety that is an intact antibody containing a glycosylation site at about position 18 in the light chain variable domain which has been introduced into the antibody by mutating the nucleotide sequence encoding the light chain. The resultant immunoconjugates retain the immunoreactivity of the antibody fragment or intact antibody, and target the diagnostic or therapeutic principle to a target tissue where the diagnostic or therapeutic effect is realized.  Thus, the invention contemplates the use of such immunoconjugates for diagnosis and immunotherapy. The invention further relates to methods for preparing such immunoconjugates.

Abstract: A connector (10) terminates an optical cable (30) and includes a cylindrical ferrule (140) installed in a plastic base member (150) to form a fiber-holding structure. This structure includes a small passageway along its central axis forholding an optical fiber, and is mounted within a housing (110) that includes a cable-entrance end for receiving the optical cable and a plug end for insertion into a jack receptacle (40). The housing includes a cantilever latch (120) that is mounted on a side surface of the housing and is used to secure the connector to the receptacle. The fixed end (125) of the cantilever latch is positioned toward the plug end of theconnector, and the free end (124) of the cantilever latch extends toward the cable-entrance end of the connector. The housing further includes a cantilever trigger (130) which slidably engages the latch to move it downward and thereby release the connector from the receptacle. The fixed end (135) of the trigger is positioned toward the cable-entrance end of the connector and the free end (134) of the cantilever trigger extends toward the plug end of the connector. The trigger forms an acute angle (.beta.) with the central axis (101) of the housing that points in a direction away from the plug end of the connector toward the cable-entrance end so that when the cable is pulled backward through a concentrated a of cables and wires, the trigger prevents the latch from snagging. The novel anti-snagging feature is also incorporated into an RJ-type electrical connector (800).
