Patent FI-943568-A (FI)
Inventor: RUOSLAHTI ERKKI I
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 1994-07-29
Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a novel synthetic polypeptide derived from the first type III repeat of fibronectin. The synthetic polypeptide of the invention encompasses a fibronectin-fibronectin binding site, and is capable of inhibiting fibronectin matrix assembly. In contrast to previously identified fibronectin fragments that block fibronectin matrix assembly by blocking an initial event in matrix assembly (i.e., fibronectin binding to cells), the invention polypeptide appears to inhibit an intermediate step in matrix assembly, i.e., fibronectin self-association prior to the disulfide cross-linking that stabilizes the fibronectin matrix.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FI95/00525 Sec. 371 Date May 29, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date May 29, 1997 PCT Filed Sep. 26, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/09871 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 4, 1996The invention relates to a heat exchanger wherein the heating vapor is fed onto heat exchange surfaces of membrane material from a vapor distributor, the vapor distributor having parallel conduits for directing vapor over the entire width of the surfaces. According to the invention the vapor distributor is made up of two opposing wall elements which are fastened to each other by means of projections in one element and corresponding recesses in the other element. The upper end of the membrane constituting the heat exchange surface is locked between the projections and recesses that are fastened to each other. Thus, pleats are produced in the membrane as an expansion leeway for the vapor space delimited by the membrane. The heat exchange surfaces may be formed into bags, the ends of which are fastened between the interlinked wall elements in such a manner that the vapor conduits delimited by the elements will direct heating vapor to the inside of the bags and the liquid conduits will direct liquid to be evaporated onto the outer surfaces of the bags.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electric drum controller arrangements
IPC: H01H3/50
Filed: 1939-01-13
Abstract: 523,757. Electromagnetic switches. VEREINIGTE EISENBAHN -SIGNALWERKE GES. Jan. 13, 1939, No. 1262. Convention date, Jan. 21, 1938. [Class 38 (v)] In a drum-switch which is held fast in each switching position by a locking member controlled by a locking magnet, energization of the magnet disengages the locking member and also closes a point in a circuit for the drive of the drum. As shown in Fig. 1 the drum comprises a cam-shaft 4 carrying a cam 8 which controls two sets of stationary spring contacts A and B, the drum being locked in either switching position by a locking projection 61 on the armature 6 of the locking magnet 3, the projection 61 engaging the recess 51 or 52, Fig. 2, in the locking disc 5 mounted on the drum shaft 7. The drum is oscillated between its two switching positions by means of the magnets 1, 2 to which current is alternately supplied through a contact 31 operated by the locking magnet 3; alternatively a motor with reversible windings may be employed. The drum is rotated from switch position A to B or viceversa by closing contacts 90, 91 or 92, 93, Fig. 4; in the former case the magnet 3 is energized through drum contact 11, disengages the projection 61, and closes the contact 31 to energize magnet 1 which then moves the drum towards position B. Movement of the drum opens contact 11 so that when position B is reached the projection 61 is free to engage the recess 52; when in position B contact 21 is closed to prepare the circuit for rotating the drum back to A. The cam 8 is preferably constructed so that when in a switching position a cylindrical part of its periphery exerts pressure on the contacts so that no torque is exerted on the shaft. In order that the rise on the cam may be as gradual as possible the angular separation of the switching positions should be large and this is made possible by arranging the magnets 1 and 2 so that the lines of force are at an acute angle with the axis of rotation of the armature, Figs. 5 and 6, (not shown). The invention is particularly applicable to railway interlocking mechanisms.

Abstract: 433,297. Packeting - machines. NAYLOR, W. H., 20, The Drive, Adel, Leeds, and DAY & SONS, Ltd., J., Beeston Royds Works, Leeds. Jan. 13, 1934, No. 1327. [Class 94 (i)] Bags of flour and like pulverulent or granular substances, after closing, are subjected to pressure to shape the package and to ensure that the top folds are securely fastened. A bag 20, Fig. 1, is forced by an arm 17 into one of a series of pockets 13 ... 16 on a drum 12. After rotation through a right angle, the bag is compressed by a plate 23, and at the next halt by a plate 24. An ejector 25 then thrusts the package laterally from the pocket. In the final position before ejection, the last folds of the packet being at the bottom, the weight of the contents assists in securing the end of the packet. Laterally movable plates 34 support the sides of the packets during compression. In modified forms of apparatus, the packet may be allowed to fall by gravity from the pocket at the lowermost position, or may be ejected on its side instead of on its closed end. The sides of the pockets may be movable to facilitate the insertion and ejection of the packets, or the compressing plates may be mounted on and revolve with the drum, the movements being caused by a fixed cam.

Abstract: 880,269. X-ray examination tables. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. Jan. 1, 1960 [Jan. 14, 1959], No. 1374/59. Class 98(1). In X-ray apparatus comprising a patientsupporting table 1 a Bucky or like diaphragm 5 is mounted thereunder for longitudinal movement along the table, a slot-like opening 6 being provided in the side of the table for access to the diaphragm; screening means 7, 8 are provided on each side of the diaphragm, which means move with it so that in all its positions the remainder of the slot is completely screened. In the Figure, the screens 7 and 8 are integral portions of self-tensioning springs attached to the diaphragm at '11, 12 respectively, and whose other ends are coiled round spindles 13, 14 respectively. Thus as diaphragm 5 traverses along the underside of the table, one spring extends and unwinds as the other retracts and re-winds. Consequently, at all positions of the diaphragm, the slot 6, which runs the whole length of the table, is covered by the screens everywhere except at the diaphragm itself. Alternatively the screens 7 and 8 may be lengths of screening material wound on spring-loaded drums. In a modified form, the screen is a single strip of material attached to the diaphragm 5 at both ends, and extending right round the periphery 'of the table, passing over smooth guides at the corners.

Abstract: 892,704. Control of several A.C. motors. CENTRAL ELECTRICITY GENERATING BOARD, and LANCASHIRE DYNAMO & CRYPTO Ltd. April 15, 1958 [Jan. 15, 1957], No. 1546/57. Class 38 (3). [Also in Group XXX] An endless conveyer is driven at two or more points along its length by electric motors the electrical resistances of which are adjustable in such manner that the power and torque apportioned to each motor can be suited to the load imposed on it by the portion of the conveyer which it drives. In one embodiment, where two identical three-phase motors represented by their stator windings 1, 2 drive opposite ends of a conveyer belt, a control circuit 5 is arranged to couple a master control box 3 associated with windings 1 with a slave box 4 associated with windings 2. In one position of the control elements corresponding to forward movement of the conveyer the motor driving the discharge end has its windings 1 connected in delta formation while the other motor has its windings 2 connected in star formation, so that the motor driving the discharge end has the greater torque. When the control elements in boxes 3 and 4 are placed in another position the delta-star arrangement of windings 1 and 2 is altered to star-delta, so that the torque of the first motor is reduced and that of the second motor increased. In another embodiment (Fig. 2, not shown), the motors are three-phase slip-ring motors. In this case, in addition to the control of the stator windings a further control of the relative powers developed by the motors is provided by resistances selectively insertable in the slip-ring circuits. In the embodiment of Fig. 3, motors controlled as described above drive pulleys 8, 9, 10 and 11, the pulleys 12, 13, 14 being tensioning rollers and pulley 8 a further tensioning roller mounted on a carriage. Pulley 10 is mounted on a tripper 18 which is adapted both for storing out, and for reclaiming material when the controls to the motors are reversed. The conveyer framework may include detachable skirt portions at points where the material is received, the attaching positions being interlocked electrically with the motor control system so that the motors can only be energized in the appropriate direction when the skirt plates are fitted correctly.

Abstract: 1459492 Synchronizing counters COMPAGNIE INDUSTRIELLE DES TELECOMMUNICATIONS CIT-ALCATEL 14 Jan 1974 [12 Jan 1973] 01679/74 Heading G4D In an apparatus for bringing counters A, B, C into synchronism individual digits of the counters having the same weight are compared in comparators CO1, CO2, CO4 respectively (for binary digits of weights 1, 2, 4 respectively); the counters to be corrected are selected automatically and the correction is applied by a control unit W which is set in operation by an externally applied signal MP and cancelled when the counters are in synchronism. When any of the comparators CO1-CO4 detects an inequality then a selecting circuit TI1-TI4, corresponding to the highest weight in which there is an inequality, is operated and selects at SA, SB, SC those counters having the lower count; the lower weight circuits TI1-TI4 are inhibited by diode connections (D1-D9, Fig. 2, not shown). The control circuit W contains a bi-stable circuit and an astable multivibrator. When the external signal is applied the bi-stable is set and allows the astable to begin oscillating. At each oscillation, circuits RA, RB, RC corresponding to the selected terminals SA, SB, SC send pulses to the selected counters to advance their count. When the digits of highest weight are equal the next lower selecting circuit TI1- TI4 is operated to release further pulses to the counters and so on until all weights of the counters are synchronized. When no comparators CO1-CO4 give an output a circuit TE issues a signal SE to reset the bi-stable. Detailed transistor circuits of the units CR and RP are described (Figs. 2-5, 7, not shown). A simplified version is also described for synchronizing just two counts (Fig. 6, not shown).
