Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for the prevention and/or treatment of cardiovascular and allergic diseases and disorders, methods for inhibiting the growth of, or reducing the volume of, a solid tumor, as well as methods for preventing progression to AIDS in an HIV-infected human, by administering a peptide derived from T cell receptors, or a derivative thereof. The present invention also relates to peptides derived from T-cell receptors, and derivatives thereof, which are useful in such methods.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for impeding unauthorized entry into an aircraft cockpit installs a pliable cut resistant netting over the doorway to the cockpit. The netting is secured in place from inside the cockpit.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for accessing a safe deposit box stored in a vault. The safe deposit box includes a customer lock and a bank lock, each of which must be opened to access the box. Apparatus is provided to permanently maintain the bank lock in an open position and to enable a customer to enter the vault without requiring the assistance of a bank teller.

Abstract: A novel peptide from the T-cell receptor is shown to be effective in preventing the progression to AIDS in an animal model. Methods for delaying the progression to AIDS and restoring normal immunological responses in an animal model following infection are shown and comprise administering through various systemic routes T-cell receptor peptide V.beta. CDR1 to restore normal levels of Th1 cytokines interleukin 2 and interferon-.gamma., which are suppressed following infection, and those of Th2 derived cytokines interleukin 5, interleukin 6, interleukin 10, and immunoglobulin G, which are stimulated following infection.

Abstract: An alarm-security system for maintaining surveillance of an individual. When unauthorized departure of an individual from a defined secure area is detected, the alarm-security system generates departure signals which are transmitted to a control center where alarm signals are initiated. In one embodiment of the system an alarm-secure band is carried on the person and cannot be removed from the person without generating alarm signals.
