Abstract: A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit socket system includes: forming a retainer plate having a pinhole extending through the retainer plate; forming a base plate having a connector hole extending through the base plate, the connector hole aligned with the pinhole; inserting a compressible pin having a lower probe end through the connector hole and the pinhole below the connector hole, a portion of the compressible pin in the base plate; forming a device plate having a cavity hole extending through the device plate and aligned with the an upper probe end of the compressible pin exposed in the cavity hole; and mounting a removable fastener through the device plate, the base plate, and into the retainer plate, the device plate over the base plate directly on the retainer plate and attached to one another by the removable fastener.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel compounds of the formula Ia: in any of its stereoisomeric forms or a mixture of stereoisomeric forms in any ratio, or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the substituents are as described herein. The inventive compounds have CXCR5 inhibitory activity, and are particularly useful in treating or preventing various inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, Crohn's Disease, associated with the modulation of the human CXCR5 receptor.

Abstract: This invention relates to a thixotropic laminating resin composition comprising an acid hardenable phenol-aldehyde resin, a highly dispersed hydrophobic amorphous silica and a viscosity modifier wherein the composition has a specified viscosity. Composites laminated with the above composition have improved dimensional stability and are resistant to combustion or smoke emission.

Abstract: A memory patching system which transfers permanent-type information in a read-only memory (ROM) to a random access memory (RAM) and modifying contents of the RAM in accordance with patch information in an eraseable programmable ROM is disclosed.

Abstract: A reagent delivery system having a reagent reservoir adapted to permit mechanical stirring of the reagent therein and removal of the reagent from the bottom of the reservoir, and a compact heat exchange unit through which the reagent flows to facilitate rapid heating of the reagent immediately prior to its use in a testing apparatus.
