RECOMMENDATIONS OF T H E UNIVERSITY PATENT COMMITTEE (29) T h e University Patent Committee submits, with the concurrence of the Chairman of the University Research Board, the following recommendations relating to patentable inventions: 1. Neutralization of biological toxins — Sol Roy Rosenthal, Director of Institution for Tuberculosis Research, at the Medical Center, inventor. This is a phenomena wherein the lethal effects in mice of fractions of burned skin are inhibited by other fractions of the same skin. It is recommended that this invention be released to the inventor, subject to full recognition of the rights of the United States Navy, the sponsoring agency. 2. Preservation of enamel by use of dichloro-s-triazinyl and polyfunctional aziridinyl compounds in polycondensation reaction — Philip P . Goland, Research Associate in Orthodontics, at the Medical Center, inventor. This is a system produced by the chemical bonding of dichloro-s-triazinyl and polyfunctional aziridinyl (ethylenimine) derivatives in polycondensation reaction with various receptor sites in dental enamel. It is recommended that this invention and supplemental ideas be released to the University of Illinois Foundation for study, development, and possible filing of patent applications, subject to the rights of the United States Government. 3. Preparation of stabilized derivatives of animal and plant origin by condensation reaction with halo-s-triazines — Nicholas G. Grand, Professor of Oral Pathology, and Philip P . Goland, Research Associate in Orthodontics, at the Medical Center, inventors. This is a system produced by the chemical bonding of halo-striazines, such as cyanuric chloride, chloro-s-triazine dyes and related colorless compounds with various organic agents, materials, and substrates. It is recommended that this invention and supplemental ideas be released to the University of Illinois Foundation for study, development, and possible filing of patent applications, subject to the rights of the United States Government. 4. Human learning recorder — Jerome S. Allender, formerly in the Office of Research in Medical Education, and George Luhr, Director of the Physiology Instrument Shop, at the Medical Center, inventors. This is an electromechanical instrument for presenting programmed teaching materials and for recording data on the progress of a student using such materials; its novelty lies in the particular components, the arrangement, the reliability, and the relative inexpensiveness of the components that were used. It is recommended that the rights of the University be released to the inventors with full recognition of the rights of the United States Government. 5. Soil-gas emanation measurement system used for radon-222 — John E. Pearson, Professor of Nuclear Engineering, of Civil Engineering, and of General
