Aminoalkyl glucosaminide phosphate (AGP) compounds that are adjuvants and immunoeffectors are described and claimed. The compounds have a 2-deoxy-2-amino glucose in glycosidic linkage with an aminoalkyl (aglycon) group. Compounds are phosphorylated at the 4 or 6 carbon on the glucosaminide ring and comprise three 3-alkanoyloxyalkanoyl residues. The compounds augment antibody production in immunized animals as well as stimulate cytokine production and activate macrophages. Methods for using the compounds as adjuvants and immunoeffectors are also disclosed.

Printer apparatus and method for printing an image on a receiver, the printer having a non-contact heater for improving image protection and image stability on the receiver. The printer comprises a printhead for transferring a colorant to the receiver and a heater disposed in heat transfer communication with the receiver for heating the receiver, so that the colorant diffuses into the receiver. The heater is located adjacent to the receiver. The heater comprises a heating element capable of emitting radiant heat therefrom and includes a reflector oriented with respect to the heating element and the receiver so as to reflect heat from the heating element to the receiver. The heater also comprises a heater control arrangement connected to the heating element for controlling the heating element. Moreover, the heater may further include a temperature sensor disposed relative to the receiver to more accurately control the receiver temperature, by controlling the heater in response to the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor. A receiver transport mechanism capable of engaging the receiver and transporting the receiver adjacent the heater is also provided.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for generating all of the print levels represented by an image data signal using a parallel input print head which has an input data bus which is narrower than the image data signal involves processing and printing image data multiple times. Each time the image data is processed, it is reduced from its original width down to the width which the print head can accept. The process includes the steps of determining the minimum number of times L.sub.min that the print head must be loaded to accomplish printing using the full width of the image data signal; processing the image data L times, where L.gtoreq.L.sub.min, to produce L output signals that (1) are no wider than the width of the input data bus and (2) have values such that the sum of the values of the L output signals equals the value of the input data signal; and using the L output signals to drive the print head.

A two-phase acidic aqueous composition for use as a neutralization layer is generally comprised of a water soluble aqueous phase and a water insoluble particle phase. The particle phase generally comprises a copolymer having recurring units of an organic acid monomer and an organic ester monomer. The aqueous phase comprises a water soluble polymer having recurring units of at least an organic acid monomer. The organic acid monomers selected for the aqueous phase polymer are capable of interacting with the particle phase polymers such that the particle phase polymers are brought into stabilizing, intimate association with the aqueous phase.

Inclusions in a liquid flow, such as air bubbles in a blood flow, are detected by transmitting a signal through the fluid and receiving and interpreting the received signal based on the expected degree of attenuation for the liquid and the inclusions. The amplitude of the transmitted signal is automatically adjusted to maintain a constant average amplitude of the detected signal, thus compensating for changes in the detection environment. The average amplitude of the transmitted signal is controlled by integrating the received signal using an integrator with a time constant longer than the time constant of the expected inclusion signals, and comparing the integrated signal to a constant reference level.The presence of microbubbles is detected and a signal comprising a string of high frequency pulses is generated while the microbubbles are present. By counting the pulses, in conjunction with knowledge about the flow of liquid and the anticipated size of the microbubbles, an estimate of the total amount of air infused into the patient within a given time period is calculated.A tubing holder for retaining a flexible tube in an inclusion detector has tubing retention grooves formed into tubing engagement faces, the tubing engagement faces being spaced closer together than the tube diameter. The tube is inserted into the tubing holder by compressing and deforming it against the tubing engagement faces, until it reaches the tubing retaining grooves.
摘要:
A connector for electrically interconnecting a lead of a device to a terminal spaced at a distance from the lead. The apparatus includes a housing which has a slot to receive one of each of the one or more contacts. The contact-receiving slot extends substantially parallel to an axis which extends between a corresponding lead and spaced terminal. The housing has a first trough formed therein proximate the lead and a second trough formed therein proximate the spaced terminal. A first elastomeric element is received in the first trough formed in the housing, and a second elastomeric element is received in the second trough formed in the housing. The first and second elastomeric elements have a measure of compressibility and tensile extendibility. A contact is received within each slot. Each contact provided has a protrusion which extends outward from the surface of the housing to be engaged by the lead to which it corresponds. Each contact also has a nub which extends outward from the surface to engage the corresponding spaced terminal. Each contact also has first and second hook portions, the first hook portion being disposed proximate the contact protrusion and encircling the first elastomeric element to hold the contact to the first elastomeric element, and the second hook portion being disposed proximate the contact nub and encircling the second elastomeric element to hold the contact to the second elastomeric element.
摘要:
A direct shorting contact structure comprising a metal layer (18') makes ohmic contact with a source (10) and/or drain (12) region and with a gate electrode (22). The direct contact between source or drain and gate over the active region (16) reduces the area otherwise required for such contact and eliminates a second layer (24) of interconnection metallization otherwise required for such contact. The metal layer preferably comprises a first layer (18'a) of a material selected from the group consisting of gold-germanium, nickel-germanium, gold-germanium-nickel, molybdenum-germanium, and aluminum-germanium in ohmic contact with the source or drain region and with the gate electrode and a second layer (18'b) of a good electrically conductive, thermally stable, electromigration-resistant metal capable of providing good step coverage overlying the first layer. An example of the second layer is tungsten and its nitrides and silicides. Such a composite layer avoids step coverage and reliability problems which exist with other metallization schemes.
摘要:
A pneumatic safety tire, of the type preferably having a section height of five inches or greater, having a pair of crescent shaped elastomeric reinforcing members located between the innerliner and side wall and extending from adjacent the tread shoulders to at least the apex of the bead fillers of the tire. A pair of bias reinforcing plies are located between the elastomeric reinforcing members and the side walls of the tire and extend along the side walls from adjacent the tread shoulders to below the top most turn-up ends of the body ply. The elastomeric reinforcing members preferably are similar in composition to that of the bead fillers and have a low hysteresis value preferably within the range of 0.03 and 0.11, a high modulus preferably within the range of 2600 psi and 2800 psi and a Shore A hardness preferably within the range of between 85 and 91. The elastomeric reinforcing members in combination with the reinforcing bias plies, enable a high section height tire to run at high speeds for a relatively long distance in an uninflated condition, and improve the performance of heretofore low section height run flat tires.
