Abstract: An easy open end for a container includes an end panel (60) having a score defined therein that defines a removable end panel portion. The score is preferably notched to define a bottom edge having a continuous V-shaped recess. A first double fold (134) is defined adjacent to and positioned radially inward from the score (81) that defines beneath the score a first outwardly projecting extending cut protection bead (138). A second double fold (136) is defined adjacent to and positioned radially outward from the score (81) that defines beneath the score a second inwardly projecting cut protection bead (140). The end panel is elastically deformed in an area near the score so as to define a concave depression (144) about the score, which provides enhanced cut protection.

Abstract: Un transducteur de passage des roues équipé d'un dispositif magnétique associé à une roue et d'un dispositif de détection associé à l'axe de la roue fournit des données correspondant à la vitesse de la roue. Un processeur monté sur l'axe de la roue reçoit les données de vitesse de roue et les traite pour exécuter les fonctions de contrôle antidérapage. Les données de vitesse sont stockées dans un concentrateur de données également associé à l'axe. Un capteur de la pression des pneus, un capteur de température de frein et un capteur de couple de freinage, associés chacun à la roue, envoient des données au processeur monté sur l'axe, en vue de leur stockage dans le concentrateur de données. Une antenne d'émission associée à l'axe, tout en étant en communication avec le concentrateur de données, transmet les données stockées à une antenne réceptrice associée à la roue. Une entrée de données au niveau de la roue, également en communication avec l'antenne de réception, forme une interface de réception de données pour un dispositif externe.

Title: Vaccins de virus attenues a latence d'infection absente ou reduite
Inventor: COHEN JEFFREY I
IPC: A61K39/255
Filed: 2005-06-22
Granted: 2018-08-21
Abstract: L'invention porte sur des virus à capacité affaiblie de production et/ou de maintien de latence, et sur leur utilisation comme vaccins vivants. Lesdits vaccins comportent une ou plusieurs altérations de leurs gènes permettant la poursuite de la réplication mais inhibant la latence. On donnera comme exemple les matériaux et les méthodes de construction du virus zostérien de la varicelle. La suppression d'une partie significative de deux copies du gène zostérien ORF63 de la varicelle a montré qu'elle inhibait la survenue d'une infection due à la forme vivante du vaccin par le virus. L'insertion d'un gène additionnel ORF62 partiellement tronqué et la suppression du gène ORF63 ont inhibé la survenue de la latence tout en permettant la croissance normale du virus. D'autres séquences désirables codant pour l'antigène viral et/ou des gènes de cytokines peuvent remplacer avantageusement le matériau génétique supprimé afin d'obtenir la réponse immunologique souhaitée. D'autres aspects de la découverte portent sur des vaccins vivants d'autres virus pouvant constituer une série de vaccins très sûrs.

Abstract: A stimulating needle and catheter system, including components, is provided such that the position of the stimulating needle or the stimulating catheter may be identified after insertion into the body of a patient by electrically stimulating and thus locating a specific nerve. Use of the needle and catheter system is eased by providing the system to the medical practitioner in a unitary structure. That is, the needle and catheter are connected by a catheter lock. The catheter lock is attached to the hub of the needle and can be actuated to either firmly grip the catheter or allow the catheter to move axially with respect to the lock and needle assembly. Thus, supplying the catheter to the practitioner already locked into the catheter lock allows the practitioner to insert the needle into the patient and, when ready, release the catheter for disposal through the needle into the patient. This and other disclosed features allow the medical practitioner to focus attention on the medical procedure.
