Abstract: According to the invention, the piston (13) is suddenly driven out due to the action of the compressed air that is conducted into the cylinder (12), whereby displacing, via the piston rod (11) and the punch (10), the impact pin (4) against the stopper (3) that is inserted inside area (2b) of the borehole (2). The stopper (3) is both driven into area (2a) of the borehole (2) as well as pressed against the wall of the area (2b) of the borehole (2) due to the suddenly effective energy of the elements of the system (piston   piston rod   punch) that are placed in motion. The portions of energy reflected during impact, i.e. the rebound, are directed via the slide (14) into the spring (16) in which they are absorbed by means of elastic deformation. A gap briefly occurs between the slide (14) and the stop (17). The tension of the spring (16) that can be adjusted by the adjusting nut (18) is used to establish the extent of the magnitude of the rebound energy, which is absorbed by the spring and which is thus not available for deforming the stopper (3). In the event of a low spring tension, the portion of energy, which does not act upon the stopper (3), is greater than in the event of a high spring tension. This enables a fine dosing of the impact work acting upon the stopper (3).

Abstract: The present invention is predicated on the discovery of certain interactions between cellular growth factors and opposing actions that control differentiation and migration or invasion of cytotrophoblasts into the uterine endometrium during pregnancy. IGF-II and latent transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta ), the inactive precursor of TGF beta , complete for binding to the CIM6P receptor. IGF-II prevents latent TGF beta  binding to the CIM6P receptor. The invention therefore offers a method of regulating and directing cytotrophoblast differentiation and function based on the interaction between IGF-II, latent TGF beta  and the CIM6P receptor. There is disclosed a method of regulating cytotrophoblast and stem cell differentiation and migration characterized by adjusting levels of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) available for binding to the cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate (CIM6P) receptor. The discovery may be applied to embryonic or adult stem cells to control their differentiation and migratory behaviour.

Abstract: An improved tooth profile for a roller chain sprocket enables noise reduction from impact and polygonal action during the meshing process. The profile of the engaging flank consists of three portions which are the seating, impact and distal portions all three of which are arcs with well-defined radii and arc centres. The profile of the disengaging flank is determined in accordance to a modified form of the JIS standard in which the sprocket pitch is smaller than the roller chain pitch. The impact point is located at the tangent point, thus permitting a gradual change of the roller velocity, thereby lessening the impact level and the effects of polygonal action. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a coil to be used in transverse flux induction heating of an object in the form of a metal strip or another elongate metal workpiece. The coil contains at least one pair of loops of conductors, which are non-symmetrically positioned to each other and the conductors overlap each other so that the inductor has double conductors across the object to be heated and a single conductor parallel to the object to be heated at the edges. The heating effect is prevented alone in the conductors by dividing the induced current for the conductors to two equal branches each having the same width as the original current and the combined heating effect in the branches is only half of the heating effect before branching.
