Abstract: The present invention relates to: manipulation of the amino acid sequence of tropoelastin, particularly human tropoelastin, to modify its protease susceptibility; to tropoelastin derivatives having modified protease susceptibility; to peptidomimetic molecules which contain amino acid sequences which correspond to or incorporate the protease susceptible sequences of tropoelastin; and to uses of the tropoelastin derivatives and peptidomimetic molecules. The invention also relates to nucleic acid molecules and genetic constructs encoding the amino acid sequences of the derivatives and peptidomimetic molecules of the invention.

Abstract: A communication apparatus comprises a transceiver circuit enclosed in a case having a control panel for operation thereof, the case defined by a case thickness and a case length; the case providing a battery bay adapted for receiving a battery, the battery bay and the battery each providing corresponding power terminals positioned for mutual contact with the battery installed within the battery bay; the power terminals including at least one RF circuit ground terminal establishing a ground voltage level for transmission and receive signals of the apparatus; an electrical conductor engaged with an outer surface of the case, the conductor terminating at the at least one RF circuit ground terminal.

Abstract: This invention relates to synthetic polynucleotides which encode lysyl oxidase, lysyl oxidase like molecules or variants of these species. The synthetic polynucleotides of the invention permit the expression of functional lysyl oxidase, lysyl oxidase like molecules or variants of these species, typically in good yield. The invention also relates to recombinant DNA molecules containing these, synthetic polynucleotides, to cells containing them and to uses of the expression products.

Abstract: A tail fin assembly for a munition having a housing configured for attachment to the munition, at least one flight control surface, an actuator for effecting movement of the flight control surface(s), so as to facilitate guiding of the munition, and a guidance system for controlling the actuator mechanism. The guidance system has a global positioning system (GPS) receiver for effecting control of the actuator mechanism.

Abstract: Recombinant tropoelastins and variants of recombinant tropoelastins produced from synthetic polynucleotides, as well as the synthetic polynucleotides themselves are provided. Also provided are cross-linked elastins or elastin-like products prepared from the tropoelastins or variants.

Abstract: A method for indoor navigation is disclosed.

Abstract: A method and means for enhancing the position accuracy of a civil or degraded accuracy GPS receiver by compensating for errors in its position solution with data derived from a military, or precise accuracy, GPS receiver, wherein the civil GPS receiver may be disposed in a mobile expendable vehicle and the military receiver in a mobile launch vehicle. The compensating data is obtained by a comparison of the pseudorange measurements of the military GPS set and another civil GPS set disposed with it in the launch vehicle and attached to the same antenna.

Abstract: A shock absorber adapter kit includes an elongated barrel having a cavity formed therein open at an upper end of the barrel. A conventional shock absorber is modified by removing the lower shock mount and then inserted in the barrel cavity with the shock absorber plunger projecting upwardly out of the barrel. A securement ring with an exterior thread is threaded onto the interior threads formed in the upper end of the barrel cavity to secure the shock absorber receiver tube within the barrel. The shock absorber plunger extends through a central opening in the ring so that the shock absorber upper shock mount may be connected to the vehicle frame. A coil spring is journaled on the barrel and upward against the upper spring seat on the vehicle frame, with a lower spring seat threaded onto exterior threads along the exterior surface of the barrel. A lower shock mount on the lower end of the barrel is connected to the vehicle axle assembly to form a shock absorbing suspension unit on the vehicle.

Abstract: A flexible windscreen wiper arm (1) of unitary construction, having means (2, 3) at one end of the arm for attachment to a wiper blade, and means (6) at the other to engage a rotary driving spindle (8). Between the two ends of the arm is a region (12) capable of toggle action between two opposite and stable positions. When the socket (6) is in place over the spindle (8) and the toggle region is in one stable position, the socket grips the spindle and the blade will be angled so as to press the blade against a windscreen. In the other extreme position of the toggle, the arm is angled to lift the blade clear of the windscreen and the grip of the socket on the spindle is released, allowing removal of arm and blade from the spindle.

Abstract: A suspension for a pair of wheels of a motor vehicle, comprising a pair of pivoted arms (14) supporting the wheels (10) relative to the vehicle, and a leaf spring (16) extending transversely of the vehicle and connected to the arms. The leaf spring is supported between its ends at two spaced positions, for pivotal movement about horizontal axes, so that the spring is also effective to resist roll of the vehicle.
