Abstract: A guard (10) for teeth (15) on a cutting blade (12) comprising a guard portion (18) having a side part (19) adapted to lay along one side of the teeth (15) and a projecting part (20) adapted to project past the points of the teeth (15), an anchor portion (22) adapted to be fixed to the blade (12) at a position spaced from the teeth, and a hinge portion (24) of resiliently flexible polymeric material joining the guard and anchor portions. The hinge portion (24) affords movement of the guard portion (18) relative to the anchor portion (22) from a normal protecting position along and projecting past the teeth (15), to a cut position spaced from the teeth (15) so that the teeth (15) can be used to cut material, while biasing the guard portion (18) to its normal protecting position.

Abstract: A spout is disclosed, for insertion into and securement to a plastic pouch. The spout comprises a tube (11) having a piercing portion (13) separated from a delivery portion (12) by a film securement portion (22) and having fluid flow communication from the piercing portion to the delivery portion. The film securement portion (22) is adapted to secure, with a substantially liquid-tight seal, plastic film which has been pierced by the piercing portion. The piercing portion (13) appears, in one perspective, to have been sliced at an angle to the longitudinal axis from a first location (23) at one side of said tube adjacent the film securement portion to a second location (14) at the other side of the tube, distal from the film securement portion, to form a tip (14) and to provide a slot (25) which aims to aid in draining material from the pouch, and the tip appears, in a second perspective perpendicular to the first perspective, to have been sliced symmetrically about the longitudinal axis of the tube to form a pointed piercing tip furthest away from the film securement portion (22). 
     The contours of these slices are such that when the pointed tip (14) is pushed into the film, the force required remains substantially constant.

IPC: A01B35/18
Filed: 1990-09-03
Abstract: A machine according to the invention comprises, in a frame (1), two transverse rotors (7, 8) arranged one behind the other. Each rotor (7, 8) comprises a plurality of identical blades distributed over its periphery and over its length. Their function is to penetrate into the soil to a depth substantially constant from one of their ends to the other and to lift the earth rearwards. The blades of the second rotor (8) have the additional function of breaking the clods lifted by the blades of the first rotor (7). The machine can be used for simultaneously carrying out stubble clearance and soil preparation before sowing. <IMAGE>

Title: Peptides containing diamino-glycols as transition-state mimics.
Inventor: THAISRIVONGS SUVIT
IPC: A61P43/00
Filed: 1990-07-09
Abstract: The present invention provides novel peptides. These peptides have a novel non-cleavable transition state insert corresponding to the 10,11-position of the renin substrate (angiotensinogen) of the formula XL8. These peptides are useful as renin inhibitors and as inhibitors of retroviral proteases. Renin inhibitors are useful for the diagnosis and control of renin-dependent hypertension, congestive heart failure, renin-dependent hyperaldosterism, other renin-dependent cardiovascular disorders and ocular disorders. Inhibitors of retroviral proteases, such as the HIV-I protease, are useful for treating diseases caused by retroviruses, such as human acquired immunodificiency disease syndrome (AIDS).

Abstract: Emulsions de fluorocarbones comprenant des acides aminés ainsi que des substances associées à des acides aminés, telles que des acides aminés subsitués ou des groupes amphotères de chaînes latérales d'acides aminés, par exemple, le groupe imidazolyle d'histidine. Des formulations d'émulsions comprenant l'imidazole et des groupes à base d'imidazole possèdent des propriétés anti-inflammatoires et anti-pyrétiques contrecarrant les réponses inflammatoires transitoires se produisant lorsque ces émulsions sont administrées in vivo. Les constituants lipidiques d'émulsions contenant de l'histidine sont protégées contre l'oxydation engendrée par une formation de radicaux libres. L'invention concerne également des formulations d'émulsions tamponnées à l'aide d'acides aminés comprenant l'histidine, l'imidazole, ainsi que des composés associés présentant une capacité de tamponnage suffisante pour maintenir le pH des émulsions dans une plage spécifiée, dans des conditions de stockage, et afin de protéger ces émulsions de la production endogène d'acide. L'invention concerne également un procédé de calcul aidant à la sélection d'une composition et d'une concentration de tampons optimales, afin de conserver la compatibilité et la stabilité physiologiques des émulsions dans des limites de pH sélectionnées.

Abstract: The invention provides a cheese transporting processing apparatus for classifying cheeses (C) wound up by winders (W) or the like for different types and packing and carrying out the thus classified cheeses. When a cheese is transported by an overhead conveyor (10) with a type identifying unit, information of a type of the cheese is written into the type identifying unit. In accordance with such type information, cheeses are stocked for different types into a cheese stocker (40). In response to a demanding instruction from a packing line (50), cheeses of a specified type are discharged from the cheese stocker and boxed and packed. Such sequence of operations is performed automatically on the cheese transporting processing apparatus.

Abstract: The yarn is guided by a yarn guide (1) fastened to a cord (2). According to the invention, the cord (2) is driven by a driving part (7) which executes a harmonic vibration under the effect of a transmission roller (13) engaging into a slot (8). The transmission roller (13) is attached to a disc-shaped supporting part (24) driven via a driving wheel (5) and can be displaced in the radial direction by means of an electric motor (25) in order to change the amplitude of the harmonic vibration. For the purpose of approximating the movement of the yarn guide to a triangular vibration, a heart-shaped compensating disc (15), likewise driven via the driving wheel (5), sets a slide (16) in movement oscillating in synchronism with the harmonic vibration, so that by means of displaceable pairs of rollers (18a, 18b; 18c, 18d), which are mounted on the slide (16) and via which, and also via stationary rollers (20a; 20b) located between successive displaceable rollers, the cord (2) is guided, the travel of the cord (2) is respectively lengthened on one side of the traversing interval and is shortened correspondingly on the other side. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A nasal mask which is suitable for use in a continuous positive airway pressure system. The mask has a face contacting portion (13) mounted to a shell (19) which is sized and shaped to overfit the nose region of an intended wearer, and the face contacting portion (13) is in the form of a distendable membrane which is moulded from an elastic plastics material. The distendable membrane (13) and the shell together define a chamber (28), and pressurised gas admitted to the chamber causes the membrane to distend outwardly from the shell. When placed in contact with the face of the wearer, the distendable membrane (13) is caused to overlay the covered facial regions and, under the influence of the pressurised gas, to conform three-dimensionally with the contours of the overlayed regions. An orifice (39) is formed within the membrane (13) and is shaped and positioned to admit gas from the chamber (28) to the nasal passages of the wearer.
