Abstract: Described is a device which enables toolsetting on a machine tool. The device includes a light emitting unit (10) and a light detecting unit (14) . A light source (30) causes a light beam (12) to propagate from the emitting unit (10) to the detecting unit (14). A light detector (40) detects the presence or absence of the beam. A trigger signal is produced when occlusion occurs and so the position of an object can be determined by reference to the machine's coordinate readings. The beam (12) may be uncollimated and thus provide a device with an easier set-up and a greater resistance to vibration in use. The light detector (40) and/or light source may be protected from contamination by windows (34,44) or a protector having an aperture therein. The light emitting and detecting units each have an aperture for the light beam. The apertures may be oblique conduits (104) for pressurised air flow, thereby keeping the conduits free from contamination, while minimising turbulence in the path of the beam which could cause noise in the resulting signal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A saw device comprises a driving shaft (1) with a sleeve (6), on which are fixed a number of saw blades (7) by means of spacing rings (25) and a nut (24). The sleeve and the saw blades form a unit that may be mounted on and demounted from the driving shaft (1), setting of the saw blades being possible in a separate operation. According to the invention, the sleeve (6) has on one hand a rear internal cone surface (14) that widens rearwardly and is laid against a forwardly tapering, external cone surface (36) on or in connection to the driving shaft, and on the other hand a front internal cone surface (15) that widens forwardly and is laid against an external, rearwardly tapering cone surface on a conical ring (27). The conical ring (27) is tightenable by means of a clamping nut (24). By means of the cone surfaces cooperating in pairs at the rear and front ends of the sleeve, the sleeve may be centered in an exact and play-free way relative to the driving shaft, and the mounting and demounting are facilitated.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for more efficiently and easily dispensing paper products, such as toilet tissue, from commercial wall mounted dispensers. The dispenser may be reloaded, in most instances, in a single operation that requires only one hand. Further, the housing protects the paper from vandals and improper tampering, while still being configured for a simple reloading procedure without the necessity for using keys and the like to gain access to the housing. The apparatus may comprise spring loaded projections on the interior of the housing that are adapted to receive and suspend within the housing rolls of paper tissue. Doors within the housing are configured to allow insertion of a new roll of paper into the dispenser when located in the open position; further, such doors suspend the tail of the paper roll for easy access to the tissue user when the doors are in the closed position.

Abstract: A device and method of using the device are provided for implanting cell cultures in a host. The device is formed of a deformable body, a microporous membrane and a sealable port. The shape of the body which is preferably rounded can be altered by applying stress or pressure, The body comprises a continuous wall constructed of a mesh material, and the membrane lines a surface of the body. The wall and membrane define an enclosed three-dimensional cavity for containing a cell culture. Openings of the membrane allow for passage of therapeutic substances produced by the cells and nutrients or biomolecules produced by host. The sealable port is configured for adding a cell culture to the cavity, and is formed of a material that is capable of resealing after being punctured with a needle. Because the device is deformable, it can be compressed and placed in an implantation site where it expands to conform to contours of tissue surrounding the site. The mesh may be formed of spring tempered stainless steal or memory metals. The membrane may be coated with a material such as extracellular matrix material that facilitates attachment of cells such as by ionic or covalent bonding. An external surface of the device may be coated with an angiogenic material.

Abstract: Kidney disease is diagnosed by measuring urinary catalytic iron in humans. Progressive kidney disease is treated by administering an iron chelator to humans. In particular, the progression of kidney disease essentially can be halted and the severity of kidney disease can be reduced by the administration of iron chelators to humans afflicted with a progressive kidney disease. The methods include measuring catalytic iron content in urine in a human afflicted with a progressive kidney disease and administering an iron chelator to the human. The method can include measuring total urinary protein content, blood urea nitrogen or creatinine in a blood sample before, during or after the administration of an iron chelator.

Abstract: ATM is used as a transport and switching mechanism in a hybrid STM/ATM network while the signaling remains normal narrowband signaling. The narrowband signaling is transported on permanent paths over ATM connections, and the narrowband speech channels are transported on ATM and switched on a "Per call basis" (on-demand) through an ATM switch. A translator formats a call-setup-related signaling message into ATM cells so that the signaling message can be routed through an ATM switch to a circuit switched (STM) node. The circuit switched node (PSTN/ISDN) sets up a physical connection for the call and generates a further signaling message therefor that relates to the physical connection. The ATM switch routes an ATM cell-formatted version of the further signaling message to another ATM switch over an ATM physical interface. Thus, the ATM switch switches both narrowband traffic and signaling for the call over the ATM physical interface.
