The retainer is movably coupled to the body to move between a retaining position in which the retainer releasably engages the bay when the body is in the closed position and a releasing position.

Abstract: An evaporator fan assembly includes a shroud have a plurality of irregularly staggered shroud legs radially outwardly spaced from a fan orifice and terminating in a motor mount. A motor is removably secured to the motor mount by a motor clip. The motor clip preferably includes a pair of legs terminating in a catch or hook that may be secured to a cross-member or support bar between the shroud legs. The motor is secured in a centered position to properly align a fan blade in the fan orifice. The fan blade is secured to the drive shaft of the motor which passes through a hole in the motor mount. A shroud cover may be secured to the shroud.

Abstract: The invention provides novel human polynucleotides unique to, associated with, or highly expressed activated T-lymphocytes (Regulated in Activated T Lymphocytes). The novel polynucleotides were derived from a cDNA subtraction library constructed from human peripheral blood T lymphocytes activated with antibodies against CD3 and CD28 cell surface antigens. The invention also provides for the use and production of the polynucleotides, antisense polynucleotides, amino acid sequences, and/or polypeptides, peptides, and antigenic epitopes thereof encoded by these polynucleotides, and to compositions and methods comprising the polynucleotides and polypeptides and peptides identified herein for modulation of an immune response and for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of disorders associated with aberrant cellular development and differentiation including cancer and inflammation, graft vs. host disease, transplantation rejection and autoimmune disease.

Abstract: Deterministic evaluation of coupling noise voltage is a function of many physical and electrical parameters such as wiring level, widths, spacing, net topologies, drv impedance and slew rates. This evaluation requires electrical modeling and subsequent circuit simulation to assess the sensitivities of these parameters. These sensitivities can be categorized as coupling guidelines that can be directly linked through extracted physical design data. This invention discloses the development and implementation of a technique for using a coupling guideline table early in the design of an integrated circuit when all the parameters generally required for coupling noise voltage calculations are not available.

Abstract: A CRUD collection system for removing deposits from a nuclear reactor fuel rod submerged in pool water. The system includes a sealable collection head for containing a portion of the fuel rod. The collection head includes at least one seal positioned to receive the fuel rod. Also provided is a liquid inlet communicating with an interior portion of the collection head, the inlet is configured to inject a liquid into the interior to displace the pool water therefrom. At least one blade is provided that is positionable in scraping engagement with the fuel rod. Also included is a liquid outlet for eliminating a CRUD sample and the liquid to a filter.

Abstract: The invention provides antibodies and other binding agents that bind specifically to SRCR domains of human CD6 (hCD6) and have advantageous properties, including the capacity to substantially inhibit binding of activated leukocyte adhesion molecule (ALCAM) to hCD6. The binding agents of the invention are useful, inter alia, in methods for screening peptides and drugs that also bind to hCD6 and/or modulate ALCAM binding to hCD6, as well as in diagnostic and therapeutic methods for management and treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Abstract: A self-locking, twist & lock, system for attachment of an engine flexplate to a torque converter mounting plate including a plurality of lugs carried on the end surface of the torque converter mounting plate in a circumferentially spaced-apart relationship to one another.
