Abstract: The technical field of the invention pertains to the manufacture of bicycles. A bicycle crankset is described, wherein each arm of the crankset has a fixed portion (14) mounted to one end (32) of a drive shaft (31) of a chainwheel (3) which is rotatable about a horizontal axis (5), and each arm has a radially translatable portion (15) receiving a freely rotatable pedal (8); said crankset further comprises a cam (10) mounted to the frame, two rollers (12, 13) being mounted so as to roll on the edge (11) of the cam and to be freely rotatable about respective mutually parallel axes (19, 20) in relation to said movable portion (15) of the arm. In accordance with the invention, an axis (23) rotating with said arms in a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis (5) of the crankset shaft, and substantially following the path of axes (19 and 20) within said plane and the path of said axis (5), forms an angle (26) relative to the longitudinal axis (7) along which the crankarm extends (14, 15).

Abstract: A sports boot consists of a rigid collar (20) to support the lower leg, articulated at the ankle to a foot section (10) so that the leg can flex forwards during use. The lower end of the collar is also made to permit a certain transverse movement of the lower leg by means of fastenings (21) which pass through holes in the collar and engage with elongated slots (13) in the foot section, with elastic elements (27) to return the collar to its original position after flexure. In variants of the design the components which permit transverse movement can be in the form of deforming zones in the collar, formed by lengthwise slits or ribs.

Abstract: A polypeptide, called Tir (for <u>t</u>ranslocated <u>i</u>ntimin <u>r</u>eceptor), which is secreted by attaching and effacing pathogens, such as the enteropathogenic (EPEC) and enterohemorrhagic (EHEC) E. coli. These bacterial pathogens insert their own receptors into mammalian cell surfaces, to which the bacterial pathogen then adheres to trigger additional host signaling events and actin nucleation. Diagnosis of disease caused by pathogenic E. coli can be performed by the use of antibodies which bind to Tir to detect the protein or the use of nucleic acid probes for detection of nucleic acids encoding Tir polypeptide. Isolated nucleic acid sequences encoding Tir polypeptide, Tir peptides, a recombinant method for producing recombinant Tir, antibodies which bind to Tir, and a kit for the detection of Tir-producing E. coli are provided. A method of immunizing a host with Tir to induce a protective immune response to Tir or a second polypeptide of interest is also provided.

Abstract: A self-propelled vehicle first goes down a selected path with the help of a person's guidance from a starting place to a target point. It receives positioning signals from a positioning system and stores them in a data memory. If the vehicle later follows this selected path automatically, it receives from the positioning system at a starting-point a current position signal that is compared with the position of the starting place. If these positions do not agree, an evaluating device calculates direction and distance to the starting place. By using current positioning data received in sequence, each direction and distance is calculated to the next stored position and the appropriate path is followed.
