Abstract: An apparatus for carrying an advertising card including an elongated member having a generally planar portion. The generally planar portion has a front side and a rear side. The elongated member further includes a pair of longitudinally extending flanges defining a first pair of longitudinally extending tracks. The first pair of longitudinally extending tracks is disposed adjacent the front side of the generally planar portion and is adapted to cooperatively receive the advertising card.

Abstract: A cellular immunogen is provided for immunizing a host against the effects of the product of a target proto-oncogene, where the overexpression of the target proto-oncogene is associated with a malignancy. The cellular immunogen comprises host cells which have been transfected with at least one transgene construct comprising a transgene cognate to the target proto-oncogene and a strong promoter to drive the expression of the transgene in the transfected cells. The transgene encodes a gene product which induces host immunoreactivity to host self-determinants of the product of the target proto-oncogene gene. The transgene may comprise, for example, wild-type or mutant retroviral oncogene DNA cognate to the target proto-oncogene; or wild-type or mutant proto-oncogene DNA of a species different from the host species. The cellular immunogen may be prepared from biopsied host cells, e.g. skin fibroblasts, which are stably or transiently transfected with the transgene construct containing the cognate transgene.

Abstract: An antenna comprises a dielectric sheet, a pair of conductive feed stems facing one another on opposite sides of the sheet, and a plurality of conductive antenna elements extending away from each feed stem. Each antenna element on one feed stem forms a pair with an antenna element on the other feed stem. In an embodiment, the antenna comprises four pairs of metal feed stems, radiating from a common center. The antenna elements extend alternately to the two sides of each feed stem. Each antenna element forms a dipole with a matching antenna element directly opposite it on the other feed stem of the same pair. Each pair of feed stems and its antenna elements occupies a quadrant of the antenna. The antenna elements do not overlap with other quadrants. Each antenna element zig-zags so that its electrical length is greater than the distance between its ends. Antenna elements on the same side of a pair of stems form zig-zags that are aligned to minimize variations in the spacing between elements.
