Abstract: Applicant has developed an assay for the detection of GL3 in human samples using a sandwich based immunoassay in which utilizes a pair of GL3 specific monoclonal antibodies, one for capture and one for detection, to create an antibody “sandwich” around the GL3 ligand. To further increase sensitivity, Applicant has modified traditional sandwich based assays by complexing the capture antibody with GL3 before adding the sample or detector antibody, providing an inhibition based assay.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a component formed of a polymer material, and the polymer component. The component includes an electrically-conductive polymer sensing element integrally incorporated into the component. An electric potential is applied to the polymer sensing element, and an electric signal generated by the polymer sensing element is sensed in response to the polymer sensing element physically responding to a transitory or permanent distortion of the component. A signal can then be generated if the electric signal exceeds a predetermined threshold value for the component.

Abstract: A structure subjected to stresses that can lead to structural failure. The structure includes first and second conductive layers and an intermediate layer therebetween formed of a dielectric, semiconductive, or resistive material, such that the first, second, and intermediate layers form in combination an electrical element, namely, a capacitive or resistive element. The electrical element is located within the structure so as to be physically responsive to transitory and permanent distortions of the structure resulting from extrinsic and intrinsic sources.

Abstract: A magnetic proximity sensor is attached to a ferrous object such that the sensor alerts a practitioner if a threshold of magnetic strength has been exceeded by bringing the ferrous object within a certain proximity to the magnet of an MRI scanner. The magnetic proximity sensor includes at least one magnetic field sensor for sensing a magnetic field strength. An alarm in communication with the field sensor alerts a practitioner that a threshold of magnetic strength has been exceeded. A battery powers the field sensor and the alarm. The field sensor may produce an output voltage corresponding to the sensed magnetic field strength, and a potentiometer may provide a reference voltage corresponding to a threshold magnetic field strength. A comparator compares the reference voltage to the output voltage, and triggers an alarm if the output voltage exceeds the reference voltage.

Abstract: Compression-type connectors for attaching wires ranging in size from #10-16 and having stranded conductors. The connector is similar to coaxial cable connectors in that it includes a connector terminal adapter, a connector body attached to the connector terminal adapter, the connector body having an axial cavity dimensioned to receive a wire in a trailing end thereof, a centerpost disposed within the axial cavity that has a conical tip projecting rearwardly, and a compression sleeve slidably mounted either within the trailing end of the cavity or overlying the trailing end of the connector body. In one embodiment the centerpost is conical with the base of the cone disposed at the leading end of the cavity and the apex of the cone projecting rearwardly and a threaded outer surface therebetween. In a preferred embodiment, the centerpost has a straight threaded shaft with a conical tip. The connector terminal adapter is operable for attachment to a variety of conductive terminals.

Abstract: A converter program creates a simulated executable portion of code so that the operating system loader believes that a read only file stored on a hard drive of data consists of executable code and thereby memory-maps the read only file into virtual memory from storage. The result is that a large database may be memory-mapped into the processor virtual memory instead of the file having to be opened using standard file application program interface operations.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an improvement in coaxial compression connectors used in, inter alia, CATV, satellite, and home theater electronics. The present connectors accept a large range of cable sizes, allow replacement of the holding or compression element to accommodate a range of sizes, and allow the connector to be re-uesable. The connector comprises an attachment nut operable for electrically connecting the coaxial cable to another device, a tubular shank attached to the connector nut operable for accepting the dielectric layer of the coaxial cable therewithin, a body portion connecting the nut and tubular shank, a compression ring and an outer shell. In a first embodiment, the compression ring is a relatively short tubular member removably housed within the outer shell.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an improvement in coaxial compression connectors for use, inter alia, in CATV, satellite, and home theater electronics. The connectors accept a large range of cable sizes, allow replacement of the holding or compression element to accommodate a range of sizes, and allow the connector to be reusable. The connector comprises an attachment nut, a tubular shank attached to the connector nut and extending rearwardly therefrom, a rigid tubular outer shell having a cylindrical axial bore attached to the nut, and a deformable compression slidingly and removably disposed between the axial bore of the rigid outer shell. The compression tube has an annular groove on the outer circumference thereof which causes the compression sleeve to buckle and deform inwardly in response to a longitudinal force applied to the compression tube.
