Abstract: The present invention generally relates to novel processes for protein purification in high salt solutions such as cell culture broth by increasing the dynamic binding capacity of a resin with the addition of polyethylene glycol.

Abstract: A multiple antenna cellular network communicates with a mobile station over a plurality of antennas. The antennas are arranged in a plurality of positions to customize a cell or cells. A transceiver is coupled to the antennas and configured to receive inbound information from the mobile station and transmit outbound information to the mobile station. A processor is coupled to the transceiver and configured to decode the inbound information and to encode the outbound information to communicate with the mobile station. In another embodiment, the transmit signal power is continuously modified to move interference nulls to improve quality so that a fixed location user can receive a high quality signal. Exemplary embodiments are provided for use with the Global Systems for Mobile Communication (GSM) protocol and can be applied to other digital technologies.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for carrying and accessing multiple safety devices, wherein the removal of one safety device simultaneously activates a second safety device. The method includes removing a chemical spray canister secured to a pack body, wherein an activation cord pulls an alarm pin thereby activating an audible alarm. The apparatus includes a spray canister and an audible alarm attached to a pack body, the canister and alarm being concealed by a cover. The cover is attached to the pack body with multiple slide fasteners. The cover has attached thereto a rip cord, so that when the rip cord is pulled by the user, the cover is partially or completely removed to expose the spray canister and the alarm; the spray canister and the alarm are interconnected by a cord so that removal of the spray canister simultaneously activates the audible alarm.
