Abstract: A lumped circuit loop-gap resonator is formed by a plurality of openings formed through a block of material. The openings form inductive loop elements and these are interconnected in a variety of possible networks by capacitive gap elements. String, star, ring and lattice networks are described.

Abstract: A structure for supporting a loop-gap resonator includes a cylindrical housing which defines a space into which microwave energy is injected. The resonator is mounted to a support element which is inserted into the space through an opening at one end of the housing. The support element and attached resonator form an interchangeable module.

Abstract: A method of detecting cancer and other abnormalities involves projecting the image of the cervix from the photograph onto a screen, viewing the screen from a short distance and noting the abnormalities.

Abstract: The loss of biological activity of interferons is prevented or reduced by the addition of soluble lanthanide or calcium salts.

Abstract: A competitive enzyme-linked immunoassay for a soluble analyte in which the analyte in the unknown sample and the same analyte attached to a solid phase (immunosorbent) compete for a selected quantity of a soluble first antibody to the substance; a second or bridging antibody is then linked to any first antibody linked to the immunosorbent as a result of the competitive reaction, following which a soluble enzyme/antibody immune complex is linked to bridging antibody on the immunosorbent. The enzymatic activity associated with the thusly-formed enzyme-immunosorbent complex or with the non-immunosorbent fraction of enzyme is measured to determine the presence and/or concentration of analyte in the unknown sample.
