  • Incorporation of boron complex into resin
    Patent number: 11618838
    Abstract: Complexes, compositions, articles of manufacture, and method for making the same are provided herein. In one embodiment, a borate-polyol complex may be prepared by reacting a boron-containing compound and a polyol to form a reaction mixture and then neutralizing the reaction mixture to form a neutralized borate-polyol complex. The neutralized borate-polyol complex may then be used in combination with polymeric resins to form adhesive products, among other material products, which products can be in manufacturing articles.

  • Environmentally sealed, reusable connector for printed flexible electronics
    Patent number: 10770813
    Abstract: An environmentally sealed connector for connecting a spring-loaded terminal to a flexible circuit includes a spring-loaded terminal and a connector cap having a terminal cavity receiving a portion of the spring-loaded terminal therein in order to electrically couple the spring-loaded terminal to the flexible circuit. A connector base is releasably coupled to the connector cap and covers the terminal cavity and the portion of the spring-loaded terminal therein. An elastic member is disposed between the connector cap and the connector base in sealing engagement therewith and surrounds the terminal cavity and the portion of the spring-loaded terminal.

  • Vaccine comprising anti-idiotypic antibody to chlamydia GLXA and process
    Patent number: 5840297
    Abstract: A genus specific chlamydia vaccine is provided which comprises an anti-idiotype antibody capable of producing in an animal an anti-anti-idiotypic antibody which recognizes a glycoplipid exoantigen (GLXA) of chlamydia. The vaccine is produced by producing an idiotypic antibody to GLXA which, in turn, is utilized t produce the anti-idiotypic antibody comprising the vaccine.

  • Method for diagnosing a patient for chlamydia
    Patent number: 5716793
    Abstract: A method of detecting chlamydia in a extracellular sample is provided which comprises contacting the sample with an idiotypic antibody to GLXA to form an immunocomplex and detecting the immunocomplex.

  • Oral vaccine comprising anti-idiotypic antibody to chlamydia glycolipid exoantigen and process
    Patent number: 5656271
    Abstract: A genus specific chlamydia oral or injectable vaccine is provided which comprises an anti-idiotype antibody capable of producing in an animal an anti-idiotypic antibody or Fab fragment thereof enclosed in microspheres formed of a pharmacologically acceptable polymer is capable of producing in an animal an anti-anti-idiotypic immune response (serum antibody, secretory antibody or T-cell responsee) which recognizes a glycolipid exoantigen (GLXA) of chlamydia. The oral or injectable vaccine is produced from an idiotypic antibody to GLXA which, in turn, is utilized to produce the anti-idiotypic antibody.
