Novel short peptides of up to about 20 amino acid residues are disclosed that bind to the SEC receptor. These novel peptides preferably are pentapeptides which are synthetic analogs of a pentapeptide domain in the carboxy-terminal fragment of .alpha.-antitrypsin (amino acids 370-374, Phe-Val-Phe-Leu-Met [SEQ ID NO:2]). A preferred binding peptide is Phe-Val-Ala-Leu-Met [SEQ ID NO:6].

The invention relates to a prosthesis for uni-condylar or bi-condylar replacement of a joint in a human body and in particular to the tibia side of a knee joint. By means of an elon- gate fixture, a prosthetic plate is secured in posi- tion in a pre-prepared tibia portion and is al- lowed to heal, without further surgery being re- quired. The invention also relates to a device for preparing the kn...

A microwave energy heating element (37) has a plurality of spaced microwa ve components generally arranged in a closed loop pattern. Each of the microwav e components (42, 44) has a non-resonant length. When the heating element (37) is in a loaded condition with a load juxtaposed thereto for capacitively coupling the microwave components (42, 44) together, the microwave components (42, 44) coopera...

Improved ultrasonic wave propagation in connection with operation of ultrasonic imaging systems is made possible by the method of attenuation leveling. Attenuation leveling allows effective focusing of systems that operate through irregular surfaces that cause uneven attenuation effects. Apparatus is provided to implement this method in clinical applications and research applications. The basic at...

A method of correcting for phasefront aberrations in ultrasound imaging uses highly spaced apart point scatterers artificially placed in the tissue being imaged. The point scatterers reflect the transmitted sound and are individually differentiated to provide singular reference points for correction of signals reflected from the surrounding tissue. The differentiation is performed by comparison of...
