Appl. No.:

11/823170

Inventors:

Eugene Lee Tresenfeld - Eugene OR, US
Robert Dudley Reid - Springfield OR, US

International Classification:

B60P 1/43
B60Q 1/30

US Classification:

116 28R, 116 30

Abstract:

An apparatus for safely locating an elevated-end of a ramp includes a center strip that hangs down from an overhead location proximate the elevated-end. The center strip aligns with a center of the ramp and is used as a visual or tactile aide to guide a person toward the elevated end. A variation includes a pair of lateral strips that are each disposed proximate the elevated-end and also proximate opposite outer edges of the ramp. Another variation includes the use of two parallel strips to more accurately indicate either the center of the ramp or one of its edges. Fixed, detachable, and retractable versions are described that are attached to either a ceiling of a truck or to an inside surface of an overhead door of the truck.

International Classification:

E05B015/02

US Classification:

292/341180

Abstract:

A bracket is adapted for connection to a vehicle body part in order to mount a striker cooperating with a door lock mechanism of a motor vehicle. The striker is to be rigidly secured by bolts to the vehicle body part. The bracket includes a striker mount portion, with holes defined therein adapted to receive the bolts, and a weld portion, by which the bracket can be welded to the back surface of the vehicle body part. A pair of deformable limbs interconnects the striker mount portion and the weld portion. By way of these deformable limbs, a position of the striker mount portion relative to the weld portion is adjustable to change the positions of the holes and accommodate repositioning of the bolts. The limbs have offset portions which are laterally displaced with respect to the striker mount portion and the weld portion such that the offset portions include side surfaces parallel to but not co-planar with side surfaces of the striker mount and weld portions. A process for adjusting the position at which a striker is mountable is also contemplated.

Assignee:

Becton, Dickinson and Company - Franklin Lakes NJ

International Classification:

C12P 1934
C12Q 168
C07H 2104

US Classification:

435 912

Abstract:

Thermophilic Strand Displacement Amplification (tSDA) for amplification of nucleic acid target sequences in situ in cells in suspension, on slides or in tissues is described. Excellent specimen morphology is preserved, and either DNA targets, RNA targets, or both may be selectively amplified. In situ amplification by tSDA is compatible with immunochemical techniques, so that both amplification of target sequences and immunological staining can be performed on the same specimen.

Appl. No.:

5/599377

Inventors:

Robert H. Reid - Costa Mesa CA

International Classification:

A01K 8500

US Classification:

43 4228

Abstract:

A fishing lure exhibiting a combined traversing action and spray inducing surfing has a streamlined body with a flat top and a trailing flexible skirt. The body is diamond shaped in one cross-section and has a leader receiving aperture extending longitudinally therethrough. A long cylindrical weight is positioned symmetrically between the body sides and eccentrically between the flat top and leader receiving aperture.

Abstract:

It has now been determined that cancer cells have a specific surface protein existing as a glycoprotein which functions to stimulate specific cell-mediated immune response in the host directed toward the specific cancer. The following disclosure includes the method of identification of the specific cell surface protein and procedures utilizing the protein, or preferably the active peptide in testing for specific cancers and immunization. Having identified the specific cell surface protein for a cancer, the n-terminal tridecapeptide or the active portion of the peptide may be synthesized and utilized in testing and immunization. Further, the specific cell surface protein and active peptide for ductal carcinoma (brest cancer) is identified herein.
