Abstract: In accordance with the present invention there is provided an applier for a surgical device and method that gives the surgeon improved control when applying the device.  The applier includes an enclosure to constrain the device, a cover on the end of the enclosure, a restraining element to prevent proximal movement of the device while the enclosure moves proximally, and a force element connecting the cover to the enclosure. The force element causes the cover and enclosure to retract proximally as one unit, but has enough flexibility to allow the cover to lift off of the enclosure when a second force larger than that generated by the force element is placed on the cover to urge it distally. The force element places a force at a distal end of the surgical device as the applier ejects the surgical device. A use of the device is also disclosed.

Abstract: A disposable absorbent article includes two laterally opposing longitudinally extending barrier cuff strips attached to an interior surface of an absorbent assembly in laterally opposing attachment zones. Each barrier cuff strip may include a water-impermeable layer and may be extensible. A longitudinally extending elastic gathering member is attached to each barrier cuff strip adjacent to its proximal edge. When the article is worn, the elastic gathering members contract and raise the barrier cuff strips to form side barriers. The absorbent assembly includes an absorbent core that may contain superabsorbent particles, which may be contained inside pockets. A portion of the absorbent assembly such as the portion that lies between the barrier cuff strip attachment zones may be extensible and may include a water-impermeable layer.  The laterally opposing attachment zones may act as dams preventing a lateral flow of liquid bodily waste.

Abstract: A method of repairing damaged wooden pallets (1a) is disclosed.  Connector members of a pallet element to be replaced are cut through using a band saw and the element is then removed. Both the partially disassembled pallet and new pallet elements are transferred into an assembly station (18), where the new pallet elements are attached to the pallet (1f) from the top side thereof. Damaged bottom parts of the pallet may be removed as a module, e.g. a skid, thereby facilitating the attachment of a replacement module from the top side of the pallet. Before the replacement module is attached, the position of connector elements still present in a top deck board member may be electronically scanned, and new connector members may then be applied in a position offset to the existing connector members. All steps beyond the cutting step may be fully automated, i.e. without any human assistance.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système amélioré de culture de cellules souches pluripotentes humaines. Traditionnellement, on cultive les cellules souches pluripotentes sur une couche de cellules nourricières de fibroblastes embryonnaires de souris pour éviter qu'elles ne se différencient. Dans le système décrit, le rôle des cellules nourricières est remplacé par des composants définis ajoutés au milieu de culture qui permet une prolifération rapide sans différenciation. Le milieu contient un tampon isotonique, un mélange d'éléments nutritifs essentiels, tels que des protéines et des lipides, et un facteur de croissance efficace ou une combinaison de facteurs qui favorisent la prolifération tout en inhibant la différenciation. Selon cette invention, la culture de cellules souches embryonnaires humaines en milieu frais, sur une matrice extracellulaire, entraîne l'expansion étonnamment rapide des cellules tout en conservant leur aptitude à se différencier en cellules représentant les trois feuillets de germes embryonnaires. Ce nouveau système de culture permet d'obtenir une prolifération globale de cellules pPS à des fins de production commerciale de produits importants pour le criblage de médicaments et la thérapie humaine.
