Abstract: A spring unit comprises a continuous coil spring (5) contained within a sleeve (26) of strong, yet flexible, material. The unit is produced by providing a folding attachment device (2) having oppositely inclined spaced walls (13, 14) which converge from a feed end (3) to an outlet end (4), and simultaneously drawing the flexible material and the coil spring through the folding attachment device from the feed end to the outlet end with the spaced walls acting to fold the material over the coil spring and to apply a substantially uniform compressive force to the coil spring. As the material and the spring are drawn through the outlet end (4), overlapping edges of the flexible material are joined together to complete the spring unit.

Abstract: An automated means for hydrating a molded hydrophilic contact lens is provided in which a first robotic assembly removes a plurality of contact lens molds from a production line carrier, each of the lens molds having a contact lens adhered therein. The first robotic assembly transports the molds to a first staging area where the lens molds are sandwiched between a lens mold carrier and a top chamber plate to form a first hydration carrier. A first rotary transfer device then hands the first hydration carrier to a second robotic assembly which immerses the first hydration carrier in a hydration bath to hydrate the lens and to release the lens from the lens mold. While the lens is immersed in the hydration bath, each lens is transferred from its respective mold to a lens transfer means found within the top chamber plate. After a predetermined period of time, the second robotic assembly removes the first hydration carrier from the hydration bath and hands the hydration carrier off to a second rotary transfer device which rotates the first hydration carrier and aligns it for transfer to a third robotic assembly. The third robotic assembly then carries the top chamber plate and contact lenses through a series of steps in which the lens mold carrier and lens molds are removed from the top chamber plate. The lenses carried on the lens transfer means are then flushed and transported for assembly with a hydration base member to form a second hydration carrier for processing the lens in subsequent extraction stations. The second hydration carrier is then transported through a plurality of flushing or extraction stations wherein fresh deionized water is introduced into the hydration chambers at each hydration station to flush leachable substances from the hydration chamber. At each flushing station, fresh deionized water is introduced into the hydration chamber to remove previously extracted impurities and the products of hydrolysis. A final robotic dis-assembly device separates the top chamber plate and lens transfer means from the hydration base member, to provide fully hydrated lenses in a concave lens holding means ready for transfer to inspection and packaging stations.

Abstract: A disposable device and method for axenically culturing and harvesting cells and/or tissue in consecutive cycles. The device consist of a sterilizable transparent and/or translucent disposable container which may be at least partially filled with a suitable sterile biological cell and/or tissue culture medium and/or axenic inoculant and/or sterile air and/or required other sterile additives. The container has means for removing excess air and/or waste gases therefrom, and means for introducing the inoculant and/or culture medium and/or additives therein. The device also has at least one air inlet, and preferably a plurality thereof, for introducing sterile air into the device. The device is characterised by having a reusable harvesting means comprising suitable flow control means for enabling harvesting of at least a portion of the medium containing cells and/or tissue when desired, thereby enabling the device to be used continuously for at least one subsequent consecutive culturing/harvesting cycle. The portion of medium containing cells and/or tissue remaining from a previously harvested cycle may serve as inoculant for a next culture and harvest cycle, culture medium and/or additives being provided. The device may thus be used continuously in consecutive cycles, and may be disposed of when it becomes contaminated. In a second aspect of the invention, a battery of these devices, suitably interconnected, enables the scale of production of cells/tissues to be adjusted when required.

Abstract: A felt (14) for use in a papermaking machine includes a woven base fabric (18) and a batt layer (22) for supporting a paper web. A flow control layer (20) is interposed between the base fabric and the fibrous batt layer (22), to impede rewetting of the paper web as the paper web exits a press nip of the papermaking machine. The flow control layer (20) is formed of a porous hydrophobic material. In use, pressure exerted by the press nip forces water from the paper web through the batt layer (22) and the flow control layer (20) into the base fabric (18), and when the pressure is relieved, the hydrophobic properties of the flow control layer (20) impede back-flow of water to the batt layer (22) and thence to the paper web, thereby impeding rewetting of the web. A preferred flow control layer (20) is formed of a spunbonded filamentary nylon material which is non-circular in cross-section, such as tri-lobed/triangular, and may be treated with a hydrophobic chemical composition to enhance its hydrophobic properties. The batt layer (22) and the base layer (18) are preferably secured into the felt by a needling process. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and assembly for separating foreign material from coating mix flow circulating in the machine circulation of a coating station (7) in coaters used for coating paper and board. According to the method, coating mix is conveyed from a tank (1) to a coating station, where it is applied to the surface of the web to be coated and the excess of the coating mix conveyed to the coating station (7) is returned to said tank (1). The coating mix flow incoming from said tank (1) to the coating station is screened by means of at least one pressure screen (5) and the rejects fraction of the coating mix flow is discharged from said pressure screen (5). A portion of the coating mix flow circulating in the machine circulation is passed via a vibrating screen (13) and the accepts fraction of the vibrating screen is returned back to the machine circulation. The method offers high efficiency in the removal of elongated foreign matter particles from the machine circulation of coating mix. <IMAGE>

Abstract: pp32 is a member of a highly conserved family of differentiation-regulated nuclear proteins that is highly expressed in nearly all human prostatic adenocarcinomas of Gleason Grade >/=5. This contrasts with the low percentage of prostate tumors that express molecular alterations in proto-oncogenes or demonstrate tumor suppressor mutation or loss of heterozygosity. By analysis of specimens of human prostatic adenocarcinoma and paired adjacent normal prostate from three individual patients, the inventors have shown that normal prostate continues to express normal pp32, whereas three of three sets of RT-PCR-amplified transcripts from prostatic adenocarcinomas display multiple cancer-associated coding sequence changes. The cancer-associated sequence changes appear to be functionally significant. Normal pp32 exerts antineoplastic effects through suppression of transformation. In contrast, cancer-associated pp32 variants augment, rather than inhibit, transformation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for minimizing disruption during a frequency search excursion to a target frequency. The method may be preformed as part of inter-frequency hard-handoff between cells on different RF CDMA channels. The method minimizes search times by tuning a selected mobile station (102) to a target frequency and collecting chip samples which are then stored in a buffer (207). Pilot searches and pilot strength measurements are not performed while on the target frequency. The selected mobile station (102) is tuned back to the original frequency and simultaneously resumes reception of forward link and transmission of reverse link communications. The chip samples collected on the target frequency are processed to calculate pilot strength. In another embodiment, the method minimizes disruption of service on the current frequency during the frequency search by increasing the amount of power allocated to other symbols contained in a data frame impacted by the search excursion. This power increase is a function of search excursion time.
