    摘要: Compositions and methods for the detection, prevention, or treatment of anthrax or other infectious diseases. In one aspect, the present invention provides methods for immunizing humans or animals against Bacillus anthracis or other capsulated pathogens. The methods include administering a capsular polypeptide of a pathogen of interest and a CD40 agonist to a human or animal. The capsular polypeptide or the CD40 agonist is administered in such an amount or frequency that an immunoprotective response can be elicited in the human or animal against the pathogen of interest. In another aspect, the present invention provides methods of using passive immunization with anti-capsular polypeptide antibodies to prevent or treat infections caused by Bacillus anthracis or other pathogens. In yet another aspect, the present invention provides methods useful for diagnosis of anthrax by detection of capsular polypeptide in serum or other biological samples.

    摘要: A method of ensuring against deterioration of an underlying silicide layer over which a refractory material layer is deposited by physical vapor deposition (PVD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is realized by first providing a continuous polysilicon layer prior to the refractory material deposition. The continuous polysilicon layer, preferably no thicker than 50 Å, serves a sacrificial purpose and prevents interaction between any fluorine that is released during the refractory material deposition step from interacting with the underlying silicide.

    摘要: A delivery system for dispensing controlled amounts of liquid or powder has two slidingly engaged parts which are held together as a single unit. The system is closed by pushing one of the two parts toward the other until a valve plug in the upper part of the system is received within an aperture of a valve seal membrane in the lower part of the system. The system is opened by pulling one part of the system away from the other using the sliding engagement means so that the valve plug exits the aperture in the valve seal membrane. Interior contoured walls prevent undesired collection of powder within the system, the relative orientation of the two parts of the system is adjustable to control the rate of flow of powder, and the system is particularly suitable for introducing powdered desiccants into medical waste containers without exposing the contents of the waste containers to the surrounding environment.

    摘要: An instrument for determining a characteristic of a biological fluid or a control comprises a radiation-reflective surface, a first source for irradiating the surface, a first detector for detecting radiation reflected from the surface, and a mechanism for determining the characteristic based on the detected radiation. A slide holds a sample of the biological fluid or control the characteristic of which is to be determined. The slide has two opposed walls transparent to the radiation. The first source and first detector are disposed adjacent a first one of the two opposed walls and the radiation reflective surface is disposed adjacent a second of the two opposed walls. A system is provided for supplying power and regulating supplied power from one of multiple power sources to the instrument. The system comprises first and second power sources, first coupling circuitry for selectively coupling the system to the first power source, second coupling circuitry for selectively coupling the system to the second power source, and circuitry for comparing a voltage supplied by the first power source to a voltage supplied by the second power source and for controlling the first coupling circuitry to decouple the system from the first power source when the voltage supplied by the second power source exceeds the voltage supplied by the first power source.
