Abstract: A fill valve assembly for controlling liquid flow into a reservoir includes a mounting adapter defining a liquid inlet passage for connection to a riser for supplying water to the valve and which renders the fill valve readily mountable and demountable for installation and maintenance. A valve body has liquid inlet and outlet openings and a pressure-responsive member is disposed within the valve body and defines a control chamber with which the liquid inlet passage communicates opposite a second side of the pressure responsive member also in communication with the liquid inlet for selectively opening and closing the inlet opening to liquid flow in response to liquid pressure in the control chamber.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a valve assembly for use in below freezing conditions which includes a valve housing with a connection to a supply of fluid, and a primary chamber, and a secondary chamber, and a flexible diaphragm, and an equalisation port, and a safety port the valve assembly characterised in that has a safety port associated with the secondary chamber wherein the safety port is configured to have a lower flow-rate than that through the equalisation port.

Abstract: The present invention provides HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins having unusual disulfide structure. In particular, the invention includes gp120 polypeptides, and polynucleotides encoding such polypeptides, as well as related vectors, host cells, and expression methods. The invention also encompasses immunogenic compositions containing gp120 polypeptides or polynucleotides and their use in eliciting a gp120-specific immune response. gp120 polypeptides and polynucleotides of the invention are also useful in diagnostic methods of the invention.
