    Abstract: A method and compositions for detecting autoimmunity to islet glucose-6-phosphatase related protein (IGRP). Detection of IGRP autoantibodies alone, and in combination with other molecules such as the 65-kDa form of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD65), insulin and insulin granule membrane proteins ICA512 (IA-2) and phogrin (IA2β) auto-antigens, provides an effective and reliable chemical assay for the diagnosis of autoimmune (type 1) diabetes. Additionally, this invention provides therapeutic regimens based on IGRP and related molecules for the amelioration of the diabetic clinical condition. Therefore, IGRP alone or in combination with other autioimmune diabetes associated antigens such as insulin, IA-2 and GAD65, is useful in the prediction (diagnosis), treatment (therapy), and prevention (prophylaxis) of diabetes.

    Abstract: A structure and method of manufacture for a sorber, wherein a mass of sorbent contained in a sorber enclosure comprises a plurality of sorbent disks stacked in face-to-face relation. The sorbent disks are formed from a solid sorbent material such as zeolite and contain surface features in at least one face of each disk which, when the disks are stacked, form passageways by which sorbate is distributed throughout the mass of sorbent material. In one embodiment, each sorbent disk is annular in shape and has a plurality of radial grooves which extend from the periphery of the disk to the aperture through the center of the disk. The disks are stacked face-to-face and an inner conductor is inserted through the center apertures of the disks. This assembly is then inserted into a conductive housing and is enclosed by a pair of end plugs or caps which are secured to the housing. A port in one of the end caps allows sorbate to enter and exit the sorber enclosure. The sorber structure forms a coaxial transmission line for electromagnetic waves which are used to desorb sorbate from the sorbent disks. Alternate embodiments may use sorbent disks which employ surface features other than grooves to provide passageways through the sorbent mass. Alternate embodiments may also have configurations which are not cylindrical and/or coaxial.

    Abstract: A method for bonding diamond heat distribution structures to integrated circuit packages using optical contacting. In one embodiment, a heat spreader comprising diamond slab has a flat contact surface which is polished to a high degree of smoothness. An integrated circuit's package also has a flat contact surface which is polished to a high degree of smoothness. The contact surfaces of the diamond slab and the package are thoroughly cleaned and are then placed in contact with each other, establishing an optical contact bond between them. In one embodiment, the contact surfaces of the diamond and package which are to be bonded together are first polished, then a layer of an intermediate material such as silicon carbide is deposited on the polished surfaces. The silicon carbide layers on the contact surfaces are cleaned and placed in contact with each other to establish an optical contact bond. If desired, the silicon carbide layers on the contact surfaces may be activated with a substance such as hydrogen fluoride to promote bonding.
