In another embodiment, the light chain includes a human kappa light chain at least partially derived from 1B3. Other embodiments are directed toward the antibodies themselves and methods of binding the antibodies.

Abstract: A computer based system having one or more computers is provided. In one embodiment, the system comprises a plurality of trainee client computers. The system can include at least one controlled digital character and a non-trainee digital entity, a plurality of models, and a rendering module for rendering the models on a display. The system is usable in training workforce teams and in a wide variety of additional applications.

Abstract: A protective cover for a rectangular bathtub to use during the construction of bathrooms. The cover is a rectangular sheet that has elongated strips of adhesive along its side edges. The strips of adhesive have a protective strip removably mounted thereto. Additionally, the cover has a plurality of spaced apart bands that extend diagonally across the cover with a precautionary message thereon to warn viewers that the work area is a potentially hazardous area. When in use, a plumber secures the cover to the bathtub.

Abstract: A tub box, for use in enclosing a drain trap and a portion of a sewer-line pipe connected to the drain trap, includes a closed hollow one-piece housing adapted to receive the drain trap and sewer-line. The housing has opposite first and second end walls, and a compressible continuous side wall having a plurality of collapsible parallel folds attaching the end walls. A knock-out part has a base portion extending outwardly from the housing and a crown portion extending from the base portion. The base and crown portions are of different diameter so that removal of the crown portion creates a crown hole sized for a pipe of a given diameter while removal of the base portion creates a base hole sized for a pipe of a different diameter. A stake fastener, adapted to be secured about a stake, is located on the housing.

Abstract: An assembly for mounting a hydrant to a roof. The assembly includes a housing that is adapted to fit about a standpipe that is disposed through a roof top. The assembly additionally has a sealing member that is positioned between the housing and the standpipe and a mounting plate that is connected to the housing to mount the hydrant to the roof.

Abstract: A method for displaying routing instructions includes receiving routing instructions from a call center at a telematics unit via a wireless network, the received route comprising at least one voice instruction. The method further includes converting the at least one voice instruction to text, and displaying the routing instructions including the text using a display device. Additionally, a method for displaying routing instructions includes receiving a TTY communication at a telematics unit from a call center using a wireless network and determining at least one routing instruction contained within the TTY communication. The method further includes displaying the at least one routing instruction using a display device.

Abstract: A wall hydrant assembly with a faucet head mounted to an exterior wall of a building and connected to an outlet pipe that extends through the exterior wall to a motor located in an interior area. An inlet pipe is connected to a water supply at one end and the motor at the other. A power means is operatively connected to the motor for controlling the motor to allow the flow of water from the water supply to the faucet head when energized.

Abstract: A bath drain assembly for use with a bathtub having a drain closure device mounted to a bottom drain and a movable actuating member engaging the drain closure device such that the drain closure device is toggled between open an closed positions when activated. A control device is in electronic communication with a sensor adapted to sense water level of fluid contained within the bathtub such that the drain closure device is moved to an open position via the actuating member when the sensor detects a given water level.

Abstract: A motor activated bathtub drain closure is associated with the bathtub having a bottom with a drain opening therein. A vertically movable drain stopper is mounted over the drain opening. A drain pipe is connected to the drain opening and is conventionally positioned below the drain opening. A motor having a movable element is located outside the drain pipe and is preferably mounted on the drain pipe. Linkage is secured to the movable element and extends from the movable element into the drain pipe and terminates at an inner end underneath the drain opening. The linkage is so configured that when the movable element is moved by the motor from a first position to a second position, the inner end of the linkage will engage the stopper and raise it with respect to the drain opening to permit fluid in the bathtub to flow by gravity.

Abstract: A waste water insert has a cylindrical wall surrounding a vertical cylindrical bore. A horizontal flange extends outwardly from the upper end of the wall and has a lip formed on its outer periphery. The horizontal flange of the waste water insert is super-imposed over the horizontal flange of a waste water strainer located in a bathtub, sink or the like. The cylindrical wall of the insert extends downwardly through the cylindrical wall of the waste water strainer with the two walls being spaced from each other by virtue of the cylindrical wall of the insert having a smaller diameter than that of the strainer. One or more grooves are within the cylindrical wall of the insert and receive resilient rings that engage the cylindrical wall of the strainer.

Abstract: A yard hydrant having a valve body with a valve seat and a drain port. A closure valve disposed within the valve body and engaging the valve seat. The valve body having a conduit in fluid communication with the drain port and a hollow interior of the valve body. A check valve disposed within the conduit to prevent fluid flow from the drain port through the conduit to the hollow interior.

Abstract: A strainer for a waste water aperture in a fluid compartment. The strainer has an upper end with a flange extending outwardly from the upper end and a downwardly extending wall. Positioned between the flange and the bottom of the fluid compartment is a compressible sealing member that secures the strainer to the fluid compartment.

Abstract: A yard hydrant that facilitates the evacuation of water from therein. The wall hydrant has a standpipe having a drain port wherein the standpipe is coupled to a head casing that has a discharge conduit. An air line is mounted adjacent and to the drain port and extends from the drain port to an end that may be attached to a pressurized fluid source. Thus, when water remains in the standpipe even after a closure valve is closed, pressurized air is supplied through the air line and drain port into the standpipe to force retained water toward and out of the discharge conduit.
