Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the detection in body fluids of antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCV), also known as a non-A non-B hepatitis (NANBH) virus and to the diagnosis of NANBH by the use of a composition of synthetic peptides. Each of these peptides has an amino acid sequence corresponding to immunodominant regions of a fusion protein and a non-structural polypeptide of HCV, SOD/HCV C100 and a postulated HCV structural (core) protein. More specifically, the present invention is directed to the use of a group of synthetic peptides in a prescribed sequence or their analogues for the detection of antibodies to HCV in body fluids. The detection method includes an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and other forms of immunoassay procedures. The present invention also relates to a method for generating high titer antibodies to HCV in healthy mammals, including humans, by the use of compositions containing these synthetic peptides, analogues or mixtures thereof, in a free, conjugated or polymeric form as key components in synthetic vaccines for the prevention of non-A non-B hepatitis (NANBH).

Abstract: In the injection molding of closure caps, the problem of demolding the safety-seal strip, which is suspended at an intended break line and is necessarily provided with undercuts, is encountered. Here a clearance must first be created at the lower outer surface of the safety-seal strip, and the safety-seal strip must then be stripped from the mold core together with the closure cap. As a practical method step, the invention proposes to bring about the release of the lower portion of the outer surface of the safety-seal strip by lowering a mold ring which is displaceable relative to the stripper plate.

Abstract: In a cutting device for an agricultural mower having mulching fingers, the operating reliability is to be increased and the production outlay reduced by preventing a packing of crop underneath by means of few and simple components. For this, plane flat sheet-metal double fingers (2) are fastened to the cutter bar (1) from below. The mowing cutter (3) is guided on the end face (14) of the cutter bar (1) and has an upper cutter spine (16). Fastened centrally relative to adjacent double fingers (2) are cutter press-down devices (4) which are in the form of double fingers and the tongues (29) of which are located above the finger parts (7) and press the cutter blades (15) down near the tips. Between the finger parts (7) and tongues (29) are respective webs (8; 28) which alternately mask the blade junction. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The composition consists of a two-part gelatin capsule in which there is a substance which increases in volume on release in the stomach, is non-toxic and has a low calorific value, and which can be broken down again within the digestive tract of the human body, for example compressed cellulose. This confers a feeling of repletion on the person taking it, owing to the enlargement in volume in the stomach, for a certain time, which facilitates weight reduction.

Abstract: In a known attachment for a combine harvester, a separation of the cobs or other cereals from plants is carried out by pulling plant stalks through a picking gap. After leaving the picking gap, the plant stalks are squeezed in between a rotating picking roller and a stationary part-casing and shredded by means of a stationary knife. The new harvesting unit is to reduce the drive-power requirement and the maintenance outlay to a minimum, and a constant working quality is to be achieved by means of exchangeable wearing parts. 
<??>The cutting device has two oppositely rotatable shafts (5) which are arranged at a distance from one another and on which are respectively located at least one cutting disc (7) and, adjacent to the cutting disc (7), a star element (8), the cutting edges (9a, 9b) of the mutually interacting cutting discs (7) being arranged to overlap one another. Advantageously, each constructional unit composed of a cutting disc (7) and star element (8) is assigned a guide disc. 
<??>The arrangement prevents the working quality from being impaired even after lengthy use.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing artificial tooth veneer restorations for natural teeth composed of a ceramic core (B) by pressing and sintering ceramic powder. The core (B) is preferably manufactured from a high strength densely sintered ceramic material by copy milling from an impression of the prepared tooth surface (P) to a compacted body, a presintered body or a sintered body. Alternatively the core (B) is manufactured by compacting the ceramic powder against a body, which surface is copy milled from a modell of the prepared tooth surface (P). During the copy milling the sintering shrinkage is considered by enlargement of the copy milled compacted body, the presintered body or the sintered body corresponding to the sintering shrinkage. The tooth veneer restorations are given their final shape by shaping the external surface (Y) of the compacted, presintered or sintered ceramic body. After the final sintering the external surface (Y) can be shaped before a veneer material is attached to the external surface of the core (B) by firing of dental porcelain (A). Manufacturing ceramic teeth veneer restorations according to the method of this invention increases their strength and accuracy to shape. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a single piece reclosable opening member (10) for pouring liquids from packaging containers. In particular, the invention relates to reclosable opening members (10) which have a lid (18) for reclosure and which are initially openend by pulling up the lid (18). In a preferred embodiment the pulling-up motion of the lid (18) actuates opening of a designated opening aperture (38) in the container. This is achieved by pushing down the material of the designated opening aperture (38) into the container, thereby separating it from the container and lifting it out of the container when pulling up the lid (18). This preferred embodiment achieves initial opening in one single motion.
