Abstract: A product comprising an absorbent paper material and a dispenser adapted to hanging from a support such as a towel bar or a hook is disclosed. The dispenser can be optionally located on a surface instead of hung from a support, and a space at the bottom of the dispenser protects the absorbent paper material from damage due to liquid spills on the surface. The dispenser has an advantage of two distinct dispensing modes, and protection of the unused absorbent paper material from liquid spills.

Abstract: The use of (A) a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, or a functionally equivalent variant of that amino acid sequence, or (B) a polynucleotide comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding the polypeptide (A), or (C) an antibody which is immunoreactive with the polypeptide (A), or (D) an antisense oligonucleotide comprising a nucleotide sequence complementary to that of polynucleotide (B), or (E) a polynucleotide probe comprising at least 15 consecutive nucleotides of (B), in a pharmaceutical for the diagnosis or treatment of a neutrophil-associated inflammatory disease.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods of and kits for detecting polymorphisms in a nucleic acid encoding a human histamine H2 receptor.

Abstract: A product comprising an absorbent paper material and a container for use as a dispenser, which is adapted to hanging from a support member, such as a towel bar, is disclosed. The container can be optionally located on a surface, such as a counter top, and used as a dispenser. This provides the container with two different dispensing modes. The container has a hanger member integral with the container on one end, and the hanger member is attachable to the container in at least two separate positions. The hanger member is also adapted to covering at least a portion of the absorbent paper material exposed by an opening into the container prior to hanging the container.

Abstract: Apparatus and a method are described for providing a security token. The security token may be used for numerous applications, but is particularly useful in conjunction with radiotelephone devices having secure functions. In accordance with the invention the user must insert a PIN and utter sounds. The radiotelephone device will activate the secure functions only if the PIN is correct and the sounds uttered are authenticated against voice feature vectors stores it the token.

Abstract: Apparatus and a method are described for providing for multiple secure functions in a host or wireless radiotelephone. Access to the functionality of the radiotelephone is provided by means of a smart card or security token features contained therein. The determination of the secure function which is accessed is determined by encrypted credential information carried in the smart card. The smart card may be used for numerous applications, but is particularly useful in conjunction with radiotelephone devices having a plurality of secure communication levels. The radiotelephone device will activate the secure levels based on the security level algorithm carried in the smart card.

Abstract: The invention relates to allelic variants of human histamine H.sub.2 receptor genes and primer sequences useful in detecting such genes.

Abstract: A secure communications system (501) including a local digital terminal (510) coupled to an interworking function (538). The interworking function (538) couples the digital radio network (121) to a PSTN (542, 546, 548) and a remote analog communication terminal (552). The system (501) includes a novel method of establishing an end-to-end communication channel between local digital (510) and remote analog (552) terminals wherein the local digital terminal establishes (510) a direct digital channel (121) between itself (510) and the interworking function (538) and transmits a message describing its signaling capabilities to the interworking function (538). The interworking function (538) then trains its modem with the modem of the remote analog terminal (552) such that signaling capabilities of the local digital terminal (510) and the remote analog terminal (552) are not violated.

Abstract: A golf club shaft having a high modulus of elasticity in the grip end of the shaft to enhance stiffness, and a low modulus of elasticity in the tip end of the shaft to provide flexibility, and a method of manufacturing such a golf club shaft is disclosed.

Abstract: A golf club shaft of increased playability and feel is manufactured with a generally hollow and tapered cylindrical wall comprised of a plurality of layers of fibers and a resin binding the plurality of layers of fibers together into an integrated structure. The shaft includes a portion of constant outer diameter adjacent one end adapted to accept a grip and a portion of a smaller constant diameter adjacent the other adapted to be fitted to the hosel of a club head and a portion intermediate the two end portions with a uniformly tapering diameter. The golf club comprises a plurality of layers of fibers arranged and oriented within the shaft to resist torsional deflection and to provide a controlled and variable flexural resistance, permitting the player to recover energy stored in the shaft during the swing and to apply that energy to the ball for greater distance. The inner and outer layers of fibers include fibers running both perpendicular and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shaft.

Abstract: A connecting device for printed circuit comprises a base member with male contacts, an intermediate member with female contacts and a plug with female contacts. The female contacts of the intermediate member extend right through the intermediate member and are shorter in length than the base member male contacts. The base member male contacts are pluggable into the female contacts of the plug after the intermediate member has been engaged in the base member, the male contacts of which run right through the female contacts of the intermediate member.

Abstract: Presented is a golf shaft designed to have a "kick" point or "flex" zone at a predetermined location along the length of the shaft. How and where the shaft bends or flexes during the down swing has a strong influence on how the club "feels" to the golfer. How and where the shaft bends during the down swing is determined by the construction of the golf shaft and presented herewith is a golf shaft structure and method of making it which controls the position of the flex point along the length of the shaft so that a variety of shafts having different flex characteristics may be manufactured to suit the dictates of individual players.
