Abstract: A snow thrower of compact proportions is obtained by a single piece housing (4) which supports an engine (5) having a vertical output shaft (13) extending within the housing. The housing also supports a horizontally disposed auger drive shaft. A belt drive (23) connects the engine drive shaft and the auger drive shaft via a pair of idler pulleys (16, 19), one disposed at an inclined angle and the other being mounted on an idler arm (15) pivotally mounted within the housing (4). The belt (23) and idler arm (15) pass through an opening (25) in the housing to achieve the belt drive connection. A control member (9) is provided to move the idler arm(15) to tension the belt (23) for driving the auger drive shaft or to relax the belt to interrupt the belt drive connection. In the latter condition, the belt is braked while retaining light contact between the engine (5) and auger drive pulley (22).  <IMAGE>

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases caused by type I hypersensitivity reactions consisting essentially of Glicophosphopeptical, or pure Nigella Sativa seeds, in a concentration which stimulate Th1 lymphocytes and selectively switch-off the eosinophilic airway inflammation. A method of treatment of allergy using Th1 stimulating agents, to be administered to a mammal such as human in need of such treatment in a shot of 5 days only, resulted in significant decrease in symptom score started day 3, and in sputum eosinophils by day 14, followed by long-term clinical remission of a mean of 6 months. The BCG-like Th1 stimulation is also used in treating diseases in which the body defensive mechanism is a Cell Mediated Immunity, including viral infections, as but not limited to influenza and common cold, Chronic and recurrent urinary tract infection, pelvic inflammatory diseases as neuroimmune appendicitis, cancer, crohns disease and facial palsy.

Abstract: New vaccines for use as immunotherapeutic agents in the treatment of cancer, particularly but not limited to prostate cancer, are described. The invention relates to cell co-culture techniques which leads to a significant enhancement of the phenotype of cell lines, particularly allogeneic cell lines, towards a more <i>in vivo</i> phenotype resulting in a vaccine reflecting a more realist phenotypic representation of an <i>in vivo</i> tumour. Further, the invention relates to whole cell cancer vaccines having an immunogenic component which comprises co-cultured malignant and non-malignant cells. Such vaccines produced by the various co-culture techniques described have additional advantages over single cell suspension vaccines in the mode of presentation to the immune system which leads to enhanced performance in treating the disease.

Abstract: A solar installation is described. It has a solar element and a diffractively and/or refractively operating optical apparatus by way of which the incident sunlight is passed directedly perpendicularly on to the solar element. The optical apparatus is caused to track the position of the sun by way of a tracking device. The optical apparatus uses a light-deflecting foil having portions of different natures with a structure having a different optical action. By virtue of the action of the tracking device the holographic foil is moved relative to the solar element so that different portions of the foil move into an operative position above the solar element in succession during the tracking procedure.

Abstract: To process the layout of graphical objects, elastics data structures are established for the graphical objects to define minimum and preferred sizes, stretch properties and compression properties. Composite graphical objects include elastics properties computed from their components through add and max operations which are dependent on relative elasticities of the components. The positions of origins within graphical objects are defined by pairs of elastics in each of two dimensions. One application of elastics is with respect to text blocks where preferred width and compressibility of each text block is a function of the amount of text in the text block. The elastics and dimensions of graphical objects are processed in a three pass layout negotiation. In the first pass, preferred sizes and elasticities of the graphical objects are computed along a first dimension. In a second pass, size values of the graphical objects along the first dimension are computed from the preferred sizes and elasticities, and preferred sizes and elasticities of the graphical objects along a second dimension are computed based on the size values of the graphical objects along the first dimension. In a final pass, size values of the graphical objects along the second dimension are computed from the preferred sizes and elasticities.
