Abstract: A method of enhancing the migration and proliferation of keratinocytes in wound healing or in the growth of artificial skin grown in vitro. The wound is contacted with (a) an effective amount of purified Clostridiopeptidase A collagenase that is substantially free from other proteinases and (b) an amount of a growth factor that increases the effects of said collagenase. The artificial skin is grown upon biomatrices previously synthesized by living cells and digested with Clostridiopeptidase A collagenase while in the presence of (a) an effective concentration of purified Clostridiopeptidase A collagenase substantially free from other proteinases and (b) a growth factor in a concentration effective to increase the effectiveness of said collagenase. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A mechanism for adjusting the length of a bracelet to fit the wrist of the wearer consists of a buckle (40) which pivots about an axis (20) passing through one end of a clasp plate, and a tongue (30) which pivots about the same axis. The tongue or plate end has one or more stops (16) which limit the rotation of the tongue between a raised position at right angles to the plate and a lowered position in the same plane as the plate. In addition, the upper cross-member (46) of the buckle forms a stop for the upper free end of the plate. The buckle's pivot pin (20) is held in place by its ends above the free end of the plate, and the front face of the tongue has a stop (34) which lies at right angles to the pivot pin.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and device for gravimetric test gas production by means of reweighing. In order fully to automate test gas production it is proposed to weigh an evacuated gas container fitted with a controllable valve on a balance, to connect a gas supply to the valve via a controllable adjuster fitted to the balance, to open the controllable valve automatically, to fill the first test gas component. The quantity allowed in is automatically checked by weighing, and after the required quantity has been filled the controllable valve is closed, the connection between the gas supply and the controllable valve is released by means of the adjuster, the gas supply is separated from the balance automatically and the gas container reweighed. These steps are suitably repeated for each test gas component to be fed into the gas container.

Abstract: L'objectif de l'invention est l'obtention d'un élément de fixation utilisé pour un moule à insert, pouvant être fixé fermement, à un emplacement prédéterminé, sur un objet à mouler, tandis qu'une courbe ou un cintrage de la base de cet élément de fixation est corrigé(e) lorsque celui-ci est placé dans un moule. A cet effet, l'élément de fixation (10) est pourvu d'une base (16) ayant une forme générale de bande plate, d'une pluralité d'éléments d'engagement (18) faisant saillie verticalement depuis la surface principale (12) de la base (16), et d'un élément de liaison (20) situé sur la face dorsale (14) de la base (16). Ladite face (16) comprend une paire de premiers bords (22) s'étendant dans le sens longitudinal et une paire de seconds bords (24) s'étendant dans le sens transversal et plus petits que les premiers bords (22). Un prolongement (26) mince, d'une épaisseur inférieure à celle de la base (16), fait saillie depuis le premier bord (22) respectif, dans le sens transversal, sur pratiquement toute la longueur dudit bord. Lorsque l'élément de fixation (10) est placé en tant qu'insert dans une cavité de support pratiquée dans le moule, les prolongements (26) minces se courbent de façon élastique lorsqu'ils viennent en contact avec une paroi latérale intérieure de la cavité pour exercer sur la base (16) une sollicitation dirigée vers la base de la cavité. Ainsi, la courbe de la base (16) est corrigée.

Abstract: The storage capacity of a Level Five RAID array on an initial set of disks is expanded by the steps of: A) adding to the rows of the array, new data blocks but no parity blocks which reside on an additional set of disks; and, B) initializing the new data blocks such that the exclusive-or of their content in each row of the array is zero. Due to these steps A) and B), the need to rewrite the original data blocks and parity blocks on the initial set of disks as part of the expansion process is eliminated, and thus the expansion of the array occurs quickly. Alternatively, the storage capacity of a Level Five RAID array on an initial set of disks is expanded by the steps of: A) changing a parity block to a data block in a particular row on the initial set of disks, without altering the content of the changed block; B) adding in that particular row, one new parity block and N-1 new data blocks which reside on an additional set of N disks; and, C) initializing that new parity block and new data blocks such that the exclusive-or of their content is zero. By these steps A-C, the need to rewrite the original data blocks and parity blocks on the initial set of disks is again eliminated; and further the additional set of disks contains a parity block as well as data blocks.
