Abstract: An improved fishing lure (10, 110) embodying the concepts of the present invention is adaptable for use with a fish hook (11, 26, 30, or 111). The lure (10, 110) comprises a body (12, 112) having a forward, head portion (13, 113) and at least one trailing appendage portion (14, 114). The body (12, 112) exhibits supple flexibility, at least when immersed in water, and a plurality of relatively long fibers (15, 115) extend outwardly from at least one surface (16, 116) on the head portion (13, 113). To facilitate use of the lure (10 or 110) the head portion (13, 113) is adapted to be penetrated by the point (18, 28, 118 or 31 and 32) of a fish hook (11, 111, 26 or 30). In one embodiment the head portion (113) is also adapted to be interconnected with the shank (130) of the hook (111). The body (12, 112) is preferably planar with at least one surface (16, 116), and the relatively long fibers (15, 115) extend outwardly from that surface (16, 116).

The plastic follower is formed of nylon or Delrin and captively holds a ball bearing member therein.

Abstract: An averaging pitot tube for measuring fluid flow in a pipe or conduit, is disclosed, including an integral head connected by a transition to a sensing tube or probe. The probe is insertable through the conduit or pipe in which fluid flow occurs to measure an upstream high pressure and a downstream low pressure. Upstream holes are formed in the probe to communicate high pressure into a high pressure chamber in the probe. Downstream holes are also formed in the probe to communicate a low pressure into a low pressure chamber in the probe. Valves placed in the integral head selectively open and close the high and low pressure passageways that communicate with the high and low pressure chambers. A measurement device is selectively connectable to the integral head and is in fluid communication with said high and low pressure passageways to make measurements of flow dependent upon the difference between the high and low pressure. Tube fittings placed in the head are disclosed for reducing leaks in the system.

Abstract: A marker for use in playing lotto games such as bingo is made from a transparent rigid material having a flat bottom surface and a convex upper surface. The marker is sized to cover the indicia on the bingo card and to magnify the indicia thereunder. The marker has a convexly curved downwardly facing shoulder extending between the upper surface and bottom surface. The upper surface, shoulder and bottom surface form a continuous curvilinear surface which provides a magnified view free from double images.

Abstract: Disialosyl Le.sup.a (IV.sup.3 NeuAcIII.sup.6 NeuAcIII.sup.4 FucLc.sub.4), a novel human cancer-associated fucoganglioside that is highly immunogenic. Also, a hybridoma cell line (ATCC No. HB 8861) secreting a monoclonal IgG3 antibody (FH7) directed to disialosyl Le.sup.a. The disialosyl Le.sup.a antigen was detected in various cancer tissues and their cell lines but was absent in various normal tissues and blood cells. Sera of patients with various cancers, particularly early cases of colonic and gastric cancers, showed an elevated disialosyl Le.sup.a antigen level, which subsequently decreased after surgical tumor removal.

Abstract: An improved fishing lure (10) embodying the concepts of the present invention is adaptable for use with a fish hook (11, 26 or 30) and comprises a body (12) having a forward, head portion (13) and at least one trailing appendage portion (14). The body (12) exhibits supple flexibility, at least when immersed in water, and a plurality of relatively long fibers (15) extend outwardly from the head portion (13). To facilitate use of the lure (10) the head portion (13) is adapted to be penetrated by the point (18,28 or 31 and 32) of a fish hook (11, 26 or 30). The body (12) is preferably planar to at least one surface (16), and the relatively long fibers (15) extend outwardly from that surface (16). Ideally, the body (12) is natural sheepskin, and the relatively long fibers (15) are the natural wool fibers presented from the sheepskin. Moreover, the body (12) may be chemically treated in order to assure that the sheepskin will exhibit supple flexibility, even upon re-immersion in water after having been dried.

Abstract: A lymphoid cell line cDNA that encodes an adhesion receptor for high endothelial venules (HEV).

Abstract: The immunogenicity of transfused or transplanted, allogeneic tissue is reduced by either directly exposing the tissue to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation prior to administering the tissue to the recipient or by inducing a state of tolerance in the recipient to non-UV or UV-irradiated allogeneic tissue by prior exposure to UV-irradiated allogeneic tissue.

Abstract: A carbide tipped cutting tool adapted to shape the edge surface of a counter top which opens about a sink or bowl mounted therebeneath. The cutting tool is provided with a nylon follower adapted to engage the side wall of the sink or bowl to facilitate cutting and shaping of the edge portion of the counter top. The nylon follower is mounted on a bearing member with a second bearing member mounted beneath the nylon follower to prevent inadvertent dislodging from the shaft of the cutting tool.

Abstract: A 90 degree swivel coupling formed of a general purpose and heat-stabilized injection molding grade 6/6 type plastic resin includes a socket member and a stem member in telescoped relation. The socket member includes an outer skirt connected by spaced flexing arms to a connecting body portion. The skirt and opposed stem have a close complementing and mating bearing projection and recess establishing a swivel coupling. The bearing walls are inclined at an angle of 15 degrees. The skirt portion is slightly expandable outwardly. In the unstressed state, the bearing wall has a maximum diameter slightly less than that of the recess to establish a pressurized fit. The stem includes a cam having an inclined wall corresponding to the bearing projection with a maximum diameter slightly greater than the bearing wall of the skirt bearing and the same angle. The cam has a maximum smaller diameter than mating recesses in the flexing arms to allow the pressure bearing engagement.

Abstract: A barrier device for preventing articles stored in a glove compartment of a motor vehicle from falling or rolling out when the compartment door is opened. The barrier device assumes a vertical blocking position when the compartment door is moved to open position but may be collapsed to enable access to the interior of the compartment for removing or inserting articles from and into the compartment.

Abstract: A hybridoma cell line (ATCC No. HB 8873) secreting a monoclonal IgM antibody (FH6) directed to a fucoganglioside, 6B, which accumulates in human colonic adenocarcinoma but is absent in normal colonic mucosa. The structure of the 6B ganglioside to which the antibody FH6 is directed is as follows: ##STR1## The hybridoma secreting the antibody FH6 was selected by reactivity of the FH6 antibody with the 6B ganglioside (VI.sup.3 NeuAcV.sup.3 III.sup.3 Fuc.sub.2 nLc.sub.6) and lack of reactivity with other glycolipids, including glycolipids having closely related structures, such as sialosyllactoneotetraosylceramide (IV.sup.3 NeuAcnLc.sub.4), sialosyllactofucopentaosy(III)ceramide (IV.sup.3 NeuAcIII.sup.3 FucnLc.sub.4), sialosyllactofucopentaosy(II)ceramide (sialosyl-Le.sup.a glycolipid; IV.sup.3 NeuAcIII.sup.4 FucLc.sub.4), and 6C fucoganglioside (sialosyl 2.fwdarw.6 fucoganglioside; VI.sup.6 NeuAcIII.sup.3 FucnLc.sub.6).

Abstract: A shield for a hypodermic needle cover comprising a generally flat surface with a central opening permitting the needle cover to be inserted therein, and a locking means to prevent the shield from being removed. The shield is rigid and includes a rim which surrounds the central opening for preventing the hypodermic needle froms slipping off the edge of the shield during insertion.

Abstract: A thin wall sleeve is provided including an inside diameter greater than the outside diameter of the rear terminal end of a marine outdrive lower unit propeller drive housing portion and the adjacent front terminal end of an associated marine propeller hub. The sleeve is mounted in position with its opposite ends telescoped over the housing portion and hub terminal ends and the longitudinal mid-portion of the sleeve bridging the axial spacing therebetween. The sleeve is mounted from the housing portion terminal end, for example, by an adhesive band layer, maintaining the inside diameter surfaces of the sleeve radially spaced outward of the outer surfaces of the housing portion rear terminal end and the hub front terminal end loosely rotatably received within the sleeve.
