Abstract: A process for culturing a T precursor cell line characterized by conducting the culture under such a condition that the concentration of oxygen dissolved in a nutrient medium is higher than of oxygen dissolved in a nutrient medium in an ordinary atmosphere. This process enables a T precursor cell to be induced into a T cell differentiated and maturated in respect of the phenotype of differentiation antigen or function with reproducibility by using the sedimentation (suspension) culture method which is a general method for culturing cells or tissues. <IMAGE>

Date Dec. 9, 1993The invention is concerned with a method of butt-welding two plastic parts each equipped with an identifying code, using an automatically controlled electro-welding machine. A device for performing a welding program is associated with said machine, said program being implemented as a function of the data contained within the identification codes. The data are defined on the basis of a welding law or standard to be applied as a function of various values for parameters relating at least to the thickness and diameter (or cross section) of the part considered at its abutment end, to the temperatures, lengths of time and welding pressure to be employed, the type of material constituting the part and the index or range of indices of fluidity of said material therefore defining the dynamic viscosity so that it would be possible to butt-weld tube parts if the codes of the parts are recognized as being compatible per se. In addition, it is necessary to be able to prohibit welding if the codes are recognized as being incompatible. Application to the welding of polyethylene tubes in particular.

Abstract: A lampshade is manufactured from heat deformable sheet material by forming a blank (10) of the sheet material, in the shape of a sector of an annulus, into a hollow truncated cone (20) having upper and lower peripheral edges. The overlapping edges (12) of the blank are temporarily tacked together and the blank supported by an apparatus which engages the interior of the conical blank, which apparatus includes a former (22, 23) for engagement with the interior surface of the blank (20) adjacent the upper and lower peripheral edges thereof so that marginal edge portions of the blank project beyond the formers. Heating means (30, 60) heat the marginal edge portions and upper and lower die members (32, 58, 36, 61) engage the heated and softened marginal edge portions to fold or roll the deformable sheet material around the edge portions of the formers and thereafter hold the formed edge portions in place until the material has cooled. The edge portions of the formers have the form of rounded beads so that the edge portions of the material deformed therearound have the form of incompletely closed cavities or pockets. The workpiece (20) is removed from the apparatus after separating the temporary tack welds joining the ends (12) of the blank, the product removed from the apparatus, and a mounting bracket (14) having a peripheral ring (16) is fitted with the peripheral ring being pushed into the annular channel at the respective rolled-over edge of the shade, after which the straight edges (12) of the shade material are re-united by a permanent weld to complete the shade. <IMAGE>

Abstract: One end of a passenger bridge or a goods-handling device of mobile type can be expediently and securely connected to a door on a craft, especially an aircraft, by determining the position of the door in relation to a reference point on the craft and storing it in a computer system. Furthermore, the absolute position of the door when the craft has come to a halt and the passenger bridge or the goods-handling device is to be connected, is determined by measuring the distance from a reference point on the ground to the craft. Finally, the computer system guides the passenger bridge to the door of the craft, the position of the end of the passenger bridge or the goods-handling device being determined during the guiding operation and inputted into the computer system. To further shorten the connection time, the passenger bridge or the goods-handling device is advantageously guided to an initial position of connection in the vicinity of the craft, in which position the end of the passenger bridge or the goods-handling device is aligned with the expected position of the door and disposed at a small distance therefrom, before the craft has come to a halt.

Abstract: A wound treatment material which absorbs wound fluid without overdrying the wound, provides physical cushioning for the wound, and releases an antimicrobial agent (iodine) in a controlled manner to kill harmful micro-organisms without irritating the wound area or adversely affecting would healing. The wound treatment material comprises crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine complex which is water insoluble, but water-absorbent and water-swellable. When the complex or a wound treatment preparation containing the complex is applied to a wound, i.e., becomes hydrated, and an equilibrium is established between the complex and the wound at the wound/complex interface. Iodine is releaed from the crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine complex by a diffusion controlled process which responds to the reduction in concentration of free iodine in the wound fluid in equilibrium with the complex. The greater the rate of iodine depletion in the wound, the greater the rate of iodine release from the polymer-iodine complex. It has been discovered that this diffusion controlled release mechanism can be utilized to deliver antimicrobially effective amounts of iodine to the wound while maintaining the concentration of iodine below the concentration that could cause significant wound irritation or retardation of healing. It has also been found that the moist environment at the wound/complex interface and the physical protective effect (cushioning) offered by the hydrated complex can enhance wound healing.
