  • Publication number: 20050283965
    Abstract: Small sheet metal reinforcement pieces are co-formed with a larger sheet metal part during a hot stretch forming against a heated forming tool surface. Locator holes are made in blanks for the reinforcing pieces so they can be precisely located on locator pins in the forming surface where the reinforcing pieces are ultimately to be attached to the formed sheet part. A preheated blank of the larger part is stretched against the trapped reinforcement blanks and both the part and reinforcing pieces are shaped against the hot tool. The part and reinforcing pieces are removed and cooled, and the closely fitting reinforcing pieces attached to the part at a suitable later time.

  • Publication number: 20040157289
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel protein expression system having an oligonucleotide encoding a small heat shock protein (sHSP) operably linked to a promoter and an oligonucleotide encoding a protein of interest. In one embodiment the expressed sHSP is a truncated &agr;-crystallin polypeptide derived from a wild-type &agr;-crystallin protein, wherein the truncated sHSP lacks an N-terminal sequence present in the wild-type &agr;-crystallin polypeptide. In an additional embodiment, a protein is coexpressed with a sHSP, thereby increasing the level of expression, enhancing folding and increasing the solubility of the protein.

  • Publication number: 20020004904
    Abstract: Embodiments of cryptographic data processing systems, computer program products, and methods of operating same are provided. For example, cryptographic data processing systems include a host processor, a system memory coupled to the host processor, and a cryptographic processor integrated circuit that comprises a local memory. One or more operands are downloaded into the local memory from the system memory and the cryptographic processor executes an instruction that references one of the downloaded operands using a first relative position in the local memory. Operands and results may be packed together in the local memory, which may conserve storage space. In other embodiments, separate command interfaces are provided that are respectively associated with execution units in the cryptographic processor. Commands blocks are respectively provided to the execution units and these command blocks are executed simultaneously by the plurality of execution units.

  • Patent number: 4997762
    Abstract: Hybridoma cell lines and transformed B-cell lines are derived from B-cells of cancer patients actively immunized with autologous tumor antigens and used to produce monoclonal antibodies having specificity for tumor-associated antigens. The monoclonal antibodies can be used in both diagnostic procedures and therapy for human cancers.
