Abstract: L'invention concerne une aiguille à coudre chirurgicale (1) pouvant être déplacée entre les deux mâchoires d'une machine à coudre. L'aiguille à coudre (1) présente une courbe de telle façon que la pointe droite non bloquée et l'axe de l'aiguille se meuvent sur la trajectoire de l'autre pointe qui est bloquée. Pour que l'aiguille à coudre (1) puisse être bloquée dans les mâchoires dans une direction définie, chacune de ses extrémités présente un évidement (3) plat ressemblant à une semelle, par lequel elle peut être bloquée par liaison de force dans le porte-aiguille correspondant. Pour un piquage des tissus le plus possible atraumatique, un angle de cône (8) aux deux pointes (2) de l'aiguille de 25 à 35° s'est avéré une solution optimale.

Abstract: The present invention relates to identification of a receptor for a satiety factor, which is involved in body weight homeostasis. Mutations in this receptor are associated with obese phenotypes. In particular, the present invention relates to identification and characterization of the receptor for leptin, including a naturally occurring soluble form of the receptor that is expected to modulate leptin activity, in particular to agonize leptin activity. The invention further relates to the nucleic acids encoding the receptor, and to methods for using the receptor, e.g., to identify leptin analogs, therapeutically, such as in gene therapy or in soluble form as an agonist or antagonist of leptin activity, or diagnostically.

Abstract: The simplified system has the coolant pump (1.0) separated from the engine (4.0) by a control valve (2.0). This controls the coolant flow either directly to the engine or diverts the coolant flow through the retarder before passing to the engine. The conductance of the two coolant circuits are similar. The retarder and pump can be integrated with each other and with the valve and with parts of the transmission. The valve can be a single system or two simple valves.

Abstract: A flexible coupling for connecting a pair of rotating elements, comprising a body part (10) adapted at each end to receive part of the rotating elements, and comprising four slits (20a) each slit being longitudinally and angularly spaced from the other slits, each slit terminating in a concave face (24). The invention provides advantages over known flexible couplings since the provision of arcuate and concave end faces on each slit produces an increased material overlap with adjacent slits which decreases variations in torsional stiffness but does not affect the flexibility of the coupling.

Abstract: A scanner for optically scanning coded symbologies including a signal processing unit for pre-processing the scanned symbology information and a hardware symbology locating unit. An analog signal related to the reflectivity of the different portions of the coded symbology is obtained and is converted to digital gray-scale. The portion of the analog signal which corresponds to the substrate reflectance (absolute contrast) is removed, and the available dynamic range of the analog to digital converter is used only for the information-bearing portion of the signal (relative contrast). Since all of the decodable information is ultimately encoded in binary form, the information-bearing portion of the signal is retained. The hardware symbology locating unit includes a plurality of shift registers, each of which derives a value from an input seed which is based upon the width of a detected coded symbology element. The value of a subsequent input seed is compared to the values generated from a prior input seed. Based upon this comparison, the unit determines whether the size of a subsequent symbology element is a ratio match of a prior symbology element. The presence of a potential coded symbology candidate is likely when a plurality of ratio matches are detected.

Abstract: Human myelin basic protein (h-MBP) has a molecular weight of 18.5 KD and contains 170 amino acid residues. Synthetic peptides ranging in length from about 8 to 25 residues and covering the entire length of the protein have been produced. Antibodies to h-MBP (anti-MBP) were found to be neutralized by the synthetic peptides, in vitro, which span the h-MBP from about amino acid residue 61 to about amino acid residue 106. The peptides, which cover both the amino (about residues 1 to 63) and carboxy (about residues 117 to 162) terminals of h-MBP did not neutralize purified anti-MBP. Intrathecal administration of peptide MBP(75-95), MBP(86-95), or MBP(82-98) produced complete binding-neutralization of free (F) anti-MBP with no change in bound (B) levels. A control peptide MBP(35-58) had no effect on (F) or (B) anti-MBP levels. Intravenous administration of MBP(75-95), MBP(86-95), or MBP(82-98) resulted in significant decline of (F) and (B) CSF anti-MBP levels. Administration of MBP synthetic peptides to MS patients either intrathecally or intravenously did not have any adverse neurological effects and systemic complications did not occur. The MBP epitope for MS anti-MBP has been localized to an area between Pro86 and Pro95.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil pour la fabrication d'une bande de papier raccourcie.

Dans le procédé continu, les surfaces de presse, la bande et la toile (20) se déplacent dans le sens machine. Sous l'effet de la pression, au moins des parties sélectionnées de la bande se densifient et adhèrent à la première surface de presse (11) pouvant être traitée à l'aide d'un adhésif de crêpage (91). La première surface (11) est chauffée, de sorte qu'un différentiel de température soit créé entre les deux surfaces. Le différentiel de température entraîne le déplacement de l'eau contenue dans la bande, de la bande (60) à la toile (20), ce qui a pour effet de sécher la bande. Une fois la pression supprimée sur la bande, cette dernière est raccourcie soit par crêpage soit par transfert de celle-ci sur une toile de transfert avançant plus lentement. Le crêpage s'effectue à l'aide d'un docteur crêpeur (73) placé à côté de la surface de crêpage à laquelle la bande adhère. Un adhésif de crêpage peut être déposé sur la surface de crêpage, selon un motif prédéterminé. La surface de crêpage peut comprendre la première surface de presse. La toile peut éventuellement être calandrée après avoir été raccourcie.
