Abstract: The apparatus forms multi-stack arrays of compressible, generally flat articles-for example, elongate catamenial napkins-on a receiving platform disposed adjacent a stack forming apparatus by pushing one stack against the back wall of the receiving platform, and then pushing successively formed stacks into adjacent relation with the last stack pushed onto the receiving platform. This is done with a stack pusher, and controlling the lengths of its successive strokes as required. Upon moving each stack into its respective position on the receiving platform, it is individually compressed to reduce the height of the stack to about the height of the carton into which the array is to be loaded as a unit. An array pusher then pushes the array orthogonally with respect to the direction of pushing the stacks onto the receiving platform to displace the array as a unit into a carton through a loading funnel. Preferably, elongate articles such as catamenial napkins are oriented in the associated stacker so that, relative to the length dimension of the articles, the stacks are displaced sideways from the stacker on to the receiving platform so that the stacks are oriented in side-by-side relation with each other, Individual compression of each stack substantially obviates any interleaving or damage of the articles in adjacent stacks which might otherwise occur: particularly at high stack pusher velocities.

Abstract: A textile yarn winding apparatus of the type having spindles carrying two axially aligned flanged bobbins and a yam guide which is reciprocated along the length of one or other of the flanged bobbins so as to lay yarn wherein the yam guide may be moved from its path along the length of one bobbin to a corresponding path along the length of a second bobbin when it is desired to transfer the winding from one bobbin to another, means being provided to ensure that the yarn guide, after its initial movement to transfer the yam from the full bobbin to the empty bobbin, lays yarn on the barrel of the empty bobbin whilst moving towards the flange of the empty bobbin which is adjacent to and aligned with the flange of the full bobbin. This ensures that when transferring yarn from a full bobbin to an empty bobbin, the tail of the yarn left on the empty bobbin after severing, is kept to a manageable length and so the initial winding of the yarn on the empty bobbin is tightly and securely wrapped around the barrel thereof.

Abstract: 57 A method is provided for recovering cell surface receptors for a specific ligand. In the method cells are incubated in the presence of a ligand for a period of time sufficient to permit the ligand to bind to the receptor on the cell membrane surface and to form a complex of the ligand and the receptor. The incubation is continued for a time sufficient to permit the complex to become internalized in the cell in the form of coated vesicles. The membrane of the cells is then disrupted prior to the time that the complex is released from the coated vesicle within the cell to provide a dispersion of cell fragments and coated vesicles. The dispersion is then contacted with a monoclonal antibody which is specific for the protein coating of the coated vesicle so as to recover the coated vesicle containing the cell surface receptor for the specific ligand.

Abstract: 57 An apparatus and method for removing particulate solids from gaseous streams wherein a multi-sectional separator drum (16) rotates at high speed within a casing (11), there being air seal means (29, 46) effectively sealing each of the sections from each other in the space between the casing (11) and the rotating drum (16). Within each of the sections, the periphery (25, 40, 62) of the drum is foraminous with an air flow space of diminished radius inwardly of the periphery through which the airstream is withdrawn in a generally axial direction, through fan blades (30, 45) which rotate with the drum (16), into an annular flow space between the foraminous periphery of the succeeding separator section of the drum and the casing. The dirty airstream is introduced (125) tangentially to the drum in the direction of rotation thereof in the first separator section (A) and proceeds through each succeeding separator section (B, C) of the drum until it is discharged (88) as a cleaned gas stream from the last of the separator sections (C). In the case of very fine screens or filters forming the foraminous periphery (62) of the separator sections compressed air cleaning means (140-145) are provided to purge the screens or filters of deposited solids. Rotation of the separator drum and movement of the airstream through the apparatus sets up boundary layer conditions surrounding the foraminous periphery in each of the separator sections causing the solid particles to collect in a collection zone from which they are guided to solids removal means (100-123) below each of the separator sections.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of unambiguously determining the presence of specific substances in a sample by NMR and then obtaining a high resolution NMR image of these substances. The sample is placed in a static magnetic field and repetitively subjected to first and second frequency selective RF pulse sequences to excite nuclear spins in the sample and to produce spin echo signals. The first and second pulse sequences are so constructed that signals from the substances are received while signals from the water component of the sample are suppressed. A third frequency selective pulse sequence is applied to the sample during every second repetition of the first and second pulse sequences to edit the acquired NMR spectra By differencing the NMR signals received in the presence and the absence of the third pulse sequence, the signals of the substance of interest are unambiguously determined. In order to produce an NMR image of the substances, pulsed magnetic field gradients are applied to the sample during a period when no RF pulse sequences are being applied. This phase or frequency encodes spatial distribution information about the substance in the sample. The resuttant NMR signal is then Fourier transformed to produce the desired image.

Abstract: In a power supply system for a variable reluctance motor, each phase winding (a, b) of the motor is connectible across a pair of supply rails by first (GTO a , GTO b ) and second (T a  T e ) switch means located respectively between the first supply rail and the winding and between the winding and the second supply rail. The first switch means (GTO., GTO b ) is a fast switch-off device such as a gate tum-off thyristor or a transistor, while the second switch means (T a , T b ) is a slow turn-off device, such as a thyristor suitable for application to a line-commutation situation. In a two-phase configuration, where the second switch means is a thyristor, force- commutation of the second switch means may be achieved by means of a suitable capacitor (C c ) interconnection between the thyristors switching the respective phases.

Abstract: A modulator material is disclosed which has been isolated from macrophage cells that have been incubated with a stimulator material from an invasive stimulus. The modulator material comprises a protein that exhibits the ability to substantially completely suppress the activity of the anabolic enzyme lipoprotein lipase, prevent the differentiation of fat cells, increase the uptake of glucose in muscle cells, and raise antibodies to itself that are effective to protect a host against endotoxin-induced shock. The modulator material demonstrably lacks leucocyte activator activity, and in this latter characteristic distinguishes the known factors identified as Interleukin 1. A particular modulator material has been isolated and has been found to possess a molecular weight of about 17,000 daltons, and a pl of 4.7-4.8. Numerous diagnostic and therapeutic utilities are proposed, and testing procedures, materials in kit form and pharmaceutical compositions are likewise set forth.
