Abstract
A method for recording a substrate-mode holographic interconnect system, composed of two identical holographic optical elements (HOEs) which were recorded on the same plate, has been developed. Since the possible recording wavelengths for efficient holograms are usually different from the readout wavelengths, the holographic elements must be recorded with predistorted wavefronts to assure high diffraction efficiencies and low aberrations. The predistorted wavefronts are derived from simple spherical holograms whose readout geometries differ from those used during recording. The method is illustrated with HOEs recorded at 488 nm and read out at 633 nm. Nearly diffraction-limited imaging and high efficiencies were achieved.

Abstract
The design and performance of a digital scanner based on ferroelectric liquid-crystal switchable wave plates and passive nematic liquid-crystal prisms are reported. The liquid-crystal prisms function as low-cost, integrable, lowangle birefringent prisms. A 1 x 64 scanner was built with -5.3 dB of average loss. By using an active filter, the limiting mispolarization cross talk of the scanner was reduced from -13 dB to less than -25 dB.

Abstract
The design, experimental results, and analysis of a 1 x N ferroelectric liquid-crystal optical switch based on polarization rotation are reported. The switch is broadband and tolerant to errors in the ferroelectric liquid-crystal tilt angle and cell thickness. Moreover, the cross talk in the switch is noncumulative and independent of the switch size N. The results of an experimental 1 x 4 switch are presented. The switch has a signal-to-cross-talk ratio ranging from 21.6 to 37.1 dB, a switching time of 50 microsec, and a worst-case insertion loss of 3.5 dB.

Abstract
The design and experimental results of a new 2 x 2 optical routing switch based on liquid crystal is reported. The switch uses nematic liquid crystal for polarization beamsplitting and ferroelectric liquid crystal for polarization rotation. The polarization insensitive, broadcast capable, full duplex switch has a signal-to crosstalk ratio of ~20 dB, a switching speed below 250 micros and a measured insertion loss of 1.4 dB. We show that the basic 2 x 2 switch can be extended to form a N x N rearrangeable permutation network.

Abstract
A ground-based astronomical telescope with a segmented primary mirror will suffer image-degrading wavefront aberrations from at least two sources: (1) atmospheric turbulence and (2) segment misalignment or figure errors of the mirror itself. This paper describes the derivation of a mirror control feedback matrix that assumes the presence of both types of aberration and is optimum in the sense that it minimizes the meansquared residual wavefront error. Assumptions of the statistical nature of the wavefront measurement errors, atmospheric phase aberrations, and segment misalignment errors are made in the process of derivation. Examples of the degree of correction are presented for three different types of wavefront measurement data and compared to results of simple corrections.

Abstract
A ground-based adaptive optics imaging telescope system attempts to improve image quality by measuring and correcting for atmospherically induced wavefront aberrations. The necessary control computations during each cycle will take a finite amount of time, which adds to the residual error variance since the atmosphere continues to change during that time. Thus an optical processor may be well-suited for this task. This paper investigates this possibility by studying the accuracy requirements in a general optical processor that will make it competitive with, or superior to, a conventional digital computer for adaptive optics use.

Abstract
Almost all coherent pattern recognition architectures are based on optical correlation of the input with a designed filter. However, the filter can be implemented via many different media, and each medium will impose different realizability constraints on the filter. That is, different media will have different regions of physical realizability. In the past, there has not been much work addressing the problem of designing an optimal filter given an arbitrary region of realizability. This paper presents the theory for just such an optimal filter design. A fast algorithm is presented to implement the theory. The algorithm is demonstrated with two examples.

Abstract
Class II-restricted murine T cell clones specific for the immunogenic determinant L-tyrosine-p-azobenzenearsonate failed to proliferate to Ag presented by L cell lines transfected with and expressing the appropriate class II genes, but are activated to kill the APC in an Ag-dependent, MHC-restricted manner. Inhibition of APC proliferation was used as an assay to determine the relative contributions of polymorphic sites on the class II alpha- and beta-chains to MHC-restricted activation of I-A beta k-restricted cloned T cells. Transfectants expressing A beta k in conjunction with the alpha chain of k, u, or d were equally effective APCs, whereas transfectants expressing A beta u were completely ineffective, implicating the beta-chain as more critical for the presentation of L-tyrosine-p-azobenzenearsonate. Site-directed mutagenesis of polymorphic positions in the beta chain revealed a remarkable stringency for the k haplotype, in contrast to the relaxed alpha-chain requirement. These results, in conjunction with others, indicate that the relative contribution of polymorphic sites on class II alpha- and beta-chains to T cell Ag recognition can differ markedly, and, furthermore, may vary as a function of the Ag.

Abstract
Immunologic and hematologic effects of continuous, chronic exposure of mice to ozone are reported. A consistent decrease was found in ability of spleen cells from exposed mice to engage in primary antibody formation. Results from an investigation of the possible presence of suppressor cells were inconclusive Separation of spleen cells into adherent and nonadherent populations revealed suggestive differences between normal and ozone-exposed mice. Among myelopoietic progenitors examined, CFU-S, CFU-GM, CFU-E, CFU-ME, and BFU-E, only the last two named were found to be altered after ozone exposure. The possible bases and implications of these findings are discussed.

Abstract
An I-Ab-restricted, L3T4+ Ly2- T-cell clone, 5R-4F3, specific for ABAtyr was established in culture from a B10.A(5R) mouse. Since b haplotype mice respond weakly to ABAtyr compared to other haplotypes, this is a candidate clone of low responder phenotype. In support of this contention, 5R-4F3 grew very poorly under conditions that supported the vigorous growth of E beta bE alpha k-restricted T-cell clones from the same mouse. The I-A (low responder) and I-E (high responder) restricted T-cell clones also differed in their responses to apc pre-pulsed with antigen, compared to apc with antigen present continuously during culture. The low and high responder clones responded comparably to IL-2. Attempts to elevate the response of C57BL/6 mice to ABAtyr in vivo by injecting them with human recombinant IL-2 and antigen together were only partially successful: C57BL/6 mice treated in this way showed a 3-5-fold increase in their proliferative responses to ABAtyr, which was at best only one quarter of the level of response shown by high responder A/J mice to the same antigen dose.

Abstract
Many spatial light modulators and computer-generated hologram techniques can very efficiently implement binary phase-only filters. At present, almost all binary phase-only filters are designed by first designing a matched spatial filter and then binarizing it. There is no theoretical basis to expect that such a filter will be optimal. This paper first develops a theory for optimal binary phase-only filters and then presents a numerical algorithm which designs the optimal binary phase-only matched filter for a given image. The filter is optimal in the matched filter sense of maximizing SNR at the output origin. Characteristics of the optimal filter compared to conventional binary phase-only filters are discussed.

Abstract
Azobenzenearsonate-specific cloned mouse T cells able to transfer delayed hypersensitivity reactions in vivo produced macrophage agglutination factor (MaggF) after stimulation with mitogen or antigen in vitro. Mitogen (Con A) elicited MAggF production directly from T cells. Responses to Ag were Ag-specific, required syngeneic accessory cells in addition to T cells, and were independent of T cell fine specificity for azobenzenearsonate. Mouse MAggF shared a number of biochemical and immunochemical properties with the fibronectins (FN): 1) high Mr similar to that of plasma FN; 2) binding to gelatin, heparin, and polyclonal antibodies and mAb specific for cellular and plasma FN; 3) inhibition of activity in solution by monoclonal anti-human FN directed against plasma FN gelatin-binding domain; and 4) action on peritoneal exudate macrophages mediated through a FN-receptor cross reactive with one on human monocytes. MAggF production required active protein synthesis and was associated with significant increases in gelatin-binding immunoreactive FN (Mr 440 kDa on immunoblotting) in culture supernatants and T cell lysates. Metabolically labeled peptides could be precipitated by anti-FN from culture supernatants of activated T cells. Stimulated cultures contained significantly more cells with immunohistologically demonstrable cytoplasmic FN than unstimulated control cultures. We suggest that T cell FN is a distinct species of cellular FN which may play an important role in mediating delayed hypersensitivity inflammatory reactions in vivo.

Abstract
The geometrical design characteristics of multiple-image holograms are evaluated. A figure of merit expressing these characteristics as a function of the hologram diameter and the distance between the hologram and the image plane is developed. This value is then used to compare two designs which are capable of forming several hundred interconnections. The results indicate that these connections can be formed between points on the substrate separated by 2-3 cm provided that the holograms are separated from the substrate plane by 0.5-1 cm. Each hologram design is experimentally demonstrated in bleached photographic emulsions.

Abstract
The T cell antigen L-tyrosine-p-azobenzenearsonate is unique in being a simple determinant that can be presented in the context of both I-A and I-E. I-E-restricted T cell clones derived from B10.A(5R) mice were found to fall into three groups: Type I clones recognized antigen only in the context of syngeneic apcs, Type II clones recognized antigen with the same highly specific major histocompatibility complex restriction but in addition proliferated in response to allogeneic stimuli; Type III clones were "degenerate" in their major histocompatibility complex-restricted recognition of antigen and proliferated when antigen-presenting cells bearing Eb beta Ek alpha (syngeneic), Ek beta Ek alpha, or Ed beta Ed alpha were used. These observations allow some conclusions to be drawn about sites on the I-E molecule that may be functionally significant in the presentation of this antigen. By using the B cell hybridoma LK35.2 as target cells, some of these T cell clones act as cytotoxic cells in the Class II-restricted manner predicted from the results of proliferative assays. Class II-restricted cytotoxicity can therefore be controlled by both I-A and I-E mouse Ir gene loci.

Abstract
Despite recent advances in our understanding of T cell antigen receptor structure, relatively little is known about the role of this receptor in MHC-restricted antigen recognition. To study this problem, we have developed a panel of ABA-Tyr-reactive, I-Ak-restricted T cell clones that differ in their ability to recognize structural analogs of ABA-Tyr. Three fine specificity groups have been defined. In each group, ABA-Tyr elicited the strongest response of any of the antigens tested. Group I clones responded to ABA-conjugated hydroxyphenyl-ethanol (ABA-HPE). Group II clones responded to ABA-conjugated hydroxyphenyl-methanol (ABA-HPM) but not to ABA-HPE, and group III clones responded only to ABA-Tyr. These studies show that differences as small as a single methylene group can dramatically affect fine specificity. Because these clones are all I-Ak-restricted, it was possible to correlate receptor serology with fine specificity. To this end, monoclonal anti-clonotypes were made against clone 16-F2 from group I and used to study the relationship between fine specificity and clonotype expression. A panel of 15 T cell clones studied with four anti-clonotype antibodies showed a strict correlation between clonotype expression and fine specificity. Taken together, these data suggest that the structure recognized by the anti-clonotype antibodies is a determinant of receptor fine specificity.
