C07H 21/04

US Classification:

536 245, 536 2431, 536 241, 435 61

Abstract:

Methods and compositions for immediately immunizing an individual against any molecule or compound are provided. The present invention is directed to an immunity linker with at least two sites; (1) at least one first binding site that binds to an immune response component in an individual, and (2) at least one second binding site that binds specifically to a desired compound or molecule, the target. The second binding sites are preferably thiolated aptamers that have the benefit of increased stability, resistance to degradation and longer circulating half life. Methods of making and using pharmaceutical compositions including immunity linker molecules having a thiolated aptamer are also provided.

108/006000, 108/025000, 248/918000

Abstract:

A message board apron for use with a computer monitor and keyboard includes a flat base, a support member extending upwardly from the base, and a tabletop member coupled to the support member proximate an edge of the tabletop member, the tabletop member having a dry-erase writing surface thereon. A variety of holders are provided in the tabletop member for holding accessories, such as hooks, pockets for writing implements or a recessed portion having a shape for receiving a pad of Post-It notes or other paper therein. The message board apron is placed on a desktop in front of a computer monitor with a keyboard placed in front of or partially underneath the tabletop member, thereby removing providing a writing surface and/or accessories available to the computer user yet held up and away from the desktop surface.

Assignee:

Tire Guard U.S.A. - Fullerton CA

International Classification:

B60C023/02

US Classification:

073/146800

Abstract:

Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for monitoring the air pressure of a tire. Various colors are displayed by the apparatus to denote an inflation level of the tire, and the apparatus may remain coupled to the air nozzle of a tire indefinitely. The apparatus may include a diaphragm that deforms in response to an air pressure differential on opposing sides thereof. Deformation of the diaphragm may alter the position of a color indicating cup, such that a color is displayed through an observation window, informing a user as to the inflation state of the tire.

International Classification:

C12Q 168
C12P 1934
C07H 2104

US Classification:

435 6

Abstract:

Inverse Linkage Oligonucleotides ("ILO") useful in enzymatic process are disclosed. Particularly preferred ILOs are amenable to enzymatic elongation from either, or most preferably, both termini. In a particularly preferred embodiment, each terminus of an ILO has an enzymatically functional 3' group. Accordingly, under appropriate conditions and in the presence of, e. g. , dNTPs, enzyme, sample DNA, and ILO comprising a first region complementary to a first region of the sample DNA and a second region complementary to a second, different region of the sample DNA, exponential amplification of the sample DNA can be effectuated.

International Classification:

B32B 2702
B32B 2716

US Classification:

442268

Abstract:

A liquid-distribution garment worn in body-side combination with substantially impermeable protective apparel. The garment is composed of at least one layer of a hydrophilically transmuted reinforcing fabric; and at least one layer of a hydrophilically transmuted absorbent nonwoven fabric joined to the layer of reinforcing fabric so that the joined layers have a water wicking rate of at least about 4 centimeters per 30 seconds in at least one direction. The garment may contain a body portion, sleeve portions and/or leg portions, at least one of those portions being formed from the material composed of at least one layer of a hydrophilically transmuted reinforcing fabric and at least one layer of a hydrophilically transmuted absorbent nonwoven fabric. The garment may have sub-portions that contain superabsorbents.

Assignee:

Kimberly-Clark Corporation - Neenah WI

International Classification:

B32B 2700

US Classification:

428286

Abstract:

There is disclosed a multi-layered absorbent, protective nonwoven web which has one or more center layers of melt-blown polypropylene microfibers which are naturally hydrophobic. The center layers are sandwiched between one or more melt-blown surface layers on each side which surface layers are composed of melt-blown polypropylene microfibers which have been rendered hydrophilic by addition of a nonionic surfactant during formation of the surface layer microfibers.
