Abstract: A vehicular lamp employs a single, high-flux light emitting diode as a light source, and is capable of performing stop, tail, turn and marker functions. The vehicular lamp can satisfy the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108, as well as Society of Automotive Engineers Standards J585 (3/00), J1395 (6/91), J1398 (6/91), and J592 (12/94).

Abstract: Proteins which specifically bind to huntingtin, the product of the Huntington's Disease locus (HD), are used in assays for screening drug candidates. These proteins, termed huntingtin associated proteins, bind to huntingtins of both normal and Huntington's Disease patients. However, the binding is stronger to the huntingtins from the patients. The strength of binding correlates with the number of glutamine repeats in the huntingtin, which itself correlates with the time of disease onset.

Abstract: A method for forming a hollow structure having a predetermined shape from a sheet of superplastic material. The sheet is initially formed into a preform configuration. A reusable fluid inlet tube is placed in the preform configuration to define a port in fluid communication with the interior portion of the preform configuration. The preform configuration is disposed in a containment die, which defines a cavity having the predetermined desired shape. Force is applied to the containment die to temporarily seal the edges of the preform configuration without the use of welding or diffusion bonding. Once its edges are sealed, the preform configuration becomes a gas-tight envelope capable of holding fluid that is introduced through the fluid inlet tube. Fluid (e.g.

Abstract: An end-effector apparatus, used in combination with a machining device and robotic arm, for use in template-guided robotic machining a workpiece. The end-effector apparatus includes a holding means which holds a guide bushing against the machining template in a consistent orientation with a constant force independent of the orientation of the end-effector apparatus. The end-effector apparatus further includes two separate means for translational travel of the machining device. This translational travel allows the machining device cutting element to controllably follow substantial contour changes along the periphery of the template with a minimal number of spatial coordinates required to be programmed within an interfacing computer.
