Abstract: A portable peak flow meter for monitoring the expiratory flow rate of a user includes an on-line metering unit having a combination cover and handle. The metering unit, which has opposed mouthpiece and exit ends, is of generally rectangular construction. A pair of opposed and hinged cover elements are pivotly mounted to the side walls of the metering unit, and pivot from a first position in which they embrace and cover the mouthpiece, to a second position perpendicular to the length of the metering unit in which they serve as a handle. The cover elements both maintain the mouthpiece in a sanitary condition when the unit is not in use and allows the unit to be held in a manner where the user's hand is distanced from the meter, thus preventing interference with operation of the unit.

Abstract: According to a microbiological soil decontamination process, the contaminated soil is collected and separated into a coarse fraction and a fine fraction. The fine fraction is decontaminated in a bioreactor (7), process water is recirculated and the decontaminated soil, possibly after being mixed again with the coarse fraction, is filled back. The coarse material of more than 0.5 mm is separated in a screening stage (2), light materials are possibly separated in a sorting stage (2a) and the fine fraction of less than 0.5 mm is suspended in a clearing stage (3). The biological pollutant decomposition of the soil suspension by aerobic microorganisms is carried out in a bioreactor plant (4) having a fluidized bed reactor (7) associated to a gassing container (8) whose operational conditions are checked by regulating circuits for temperature, pH value, O2? content of the soil suspension, as well as pressure and speed of the flowing gas and liquid. The soil suspension is thickened in the fluidized bed reactor (7) and then dewatered in a dewatering stage (5).

Abstract: The method uses a support (1) incorporating a pipe clamp (2) at one end and an electrically heated swaging die at the other. The liner pipe, external diameter larger than the bore of the pipe to be lined, is made of plastics or other suitable material and drawn at ambient temperature through the swaging die and threaded through the pipe to be lined. The diameter of the liner pipe is reduced to and/or maintained at less than the inner diameter of the pipe to be lined by the tension applied by the drawing force.The drawing restrains the radial expansion of the outer surface of the liner pipe as it emerges from the swaging die.

Abstract: The packaging consists of an elongate cardboard strip (1) which is wrapped around a product to be packaged, such as a book or tape cassette, placed in the middle region of said cardboard strip. A further cardboard strip (5) which extends in said middle region between mutually opposite longitudinal edges of the cardboard strip (1), is attached thereto, and can be separated along a central perforation line (6) forms two inner flaps (7, 8) for wrapping around the product to be packaged. The cardboard strip (1) wrapped around over the inner flaps forms outer flaps (13, 14).

Perforation lines (18) running parallel to the self-adhesive layer, bound a tear strip (19) from whose ends further perforation lines (20) run at a right angle up to the bending line (21) of the outer flap. When the tear strip (19) has been removed, a middle section (22) of the flap can be torn open along the perforation lines (20) in order to remove the contents. In order to reuse the packaging, there is a further self-adhesive layer (23), inwards of and parallel to the tear strip and extending over the width of the flap section (22) which can be torn open, with a protective paper (24) on the outer flap (13) so that the packaging can be sealed again conveniently to be ready for despatch. <IMAGE>

The use of electronic modules, designed in the form of printed circuit boards populated with pluggable, mountable, or surface-mountable electronic components (Surface Mounted Devices, SMDs), which must be then soldered, is growing steadily. To manufacture these modules, suitably prepared printed circuit boards are populated with the corresponding components, the latter are held in place possibly with an adhesive or soldering paste in preparation for the soldering process, and finally the printed circuit boards and the components are connected together permanently and conductively by a soldering process. This soldering process is performed under low pressure and under the plasma action of a special process gas.

Abstract: Dimerization and oligomerization of proteins are general biological control mechanisms that contribute to the activation of cell membrane receptors, transcription factors, vesicle fusion proteins, and other classes of intra- and extracellular proteins. We have developed a general procedure for the regulated (inducible) dimerization or oligomerization of intracellular proteins. In principle, any two target proteins can be induced to associate by treating the cells or organisms that harbor them with cell permeable, synthetic ligands. To illustrate the practice of this invention, we have induced: (1) the intracellular aggregation of the cytoplasmic tail of the ¶ chain of the T cell receptor (TCR)-CD3 complex thereby leading to signaling and transcription of a reporter gene, (2) the homodimerization of the cytoplasmic tail of the Fas receptor thereby leading to cell-specific apoptosis (programmed cell death) and (3) the heterodimerization of a DNA-binding domain (Gal4) and a transcription-activation domain (VP16) thereby leading to direct transcription of a reporter gene.  Regulated intracellular protein association with our cell permeable, synthetic ligands offers new capabilities in biological research and medicine, in particular, in gene therapy. Using gene transfer techniques to introduce our artificial receptors, one can turn on or off the signaling pathways that lead to the overexpression of therapeutic proteins by administering orally active "dimerizers" or "de-dimerizers", respectively. Since cells from different recipients can be configured to have the pathway overexpress different therapeutic proteins for use in a variety of disorders, the dimerizers have the potential to serve as "universal drugs". They can also be viewed as cell permeable, organic replacements for therapeutic antisense agents or for proteins that would otherwise require intravenous injection or intracellular expression (e.g., the LDL receptor or the CFTR protein).
