Abstract: A phonosurgery implant is inserted through an opening in the thyroid cartilage to reposition and stablise a vocal cord. An implant body is formed of a biocompatible material. The body (28) includes a contact surface (30) adapted to support a vocal cord upon insertion through an opening in the thyroid cartilage, the body being shaped to move in the opening so a surgeon can position the body for optimum vocal cord operation. The body also includes a holding portion (32) away from the contact surface, the holding portion being shaped to be engaged and held by an instrument for inserting and moving the implant body in the opening. The holding portion is engaged and held by a shim (36) in a fixed position in the opening and relative to the vocal cord.

Abstract: A process for monitoring the flow of solid particles passing through a conduit 3 in a pneumatic conveying system comprises detecting the intensity of the stress waves within the wall of the conduit, by means of a transducer 6 coupled to the surface of the wall of the conduit, analysing the signal from the transducer and comparing the result to those obtained under known operating conditions such that when operating conditions repeat themselves they may be recognised or a change in operating conditions may be recognised. The process can provide a means for giving advance warning of a possible blockage or means for warning that a blockage has occurred. It can also give an indication of the mass of solid which is passing along the conduit.

Abstract: The saw unit (2) of the plate saw is to be secured, on the one hand, in its two rest positions against unintentional twisting and is to be guided, on the other hand, during the plunging, i.e. shortly before and during the cutting operation, exactly in the desired cutting plane. This dual function is performed by a device which possesses a locking member (4), fixed to the saw beam (1) and having a guiding plate (6), and also two guiding devices (3) arranged offset by 90 DEG relative to one another on the saw unit (2). The locking member (4) is resiliently suspended and secures the saw unit in its rest position in cooperation with a stop wedge (21) provided on the guiding device (3) and projecting upwards. During the plunging, a guiding plate (6) arranged on the locking member (4) passes between two rollers (15, 20) rotatably mounted on the guiding device (3). In this case, the guiding plate (6) is pressed by the roller (20), which is prestressed by springs (17), against the fixedly, but adjustably arranged roller (15). As a result, the saw unit, and with it the saw blade, is securely guided. The springs (17) furthermore serve to absorb the impact occurring during the transition from the horizontal cut to the vertical cut. <IMAGE>

Ces récepteurs de lymphocytes T chimériques contiennent un élément humain, et le reste des éléments sont tous d'origine non humaine et proviennent de la même espèce animale, par exemple de souris. Les chimères dans lesquelles l'élément humain est Valpha ou Vbeta se sont avérées particulièrement intéressantes.

Abstract: Dans un système informatique à multiprocesseur à couplage étroit, la pluralité de régions parallèles d'un programme d'applications multifilé (multithread) (10) peut fonctionner simultanément comme des files multiples (files 1, 2 et 3) sur une pluralité de processeurs (processeurs 1, 2 et 3). En outre, une pluralité de programmes multifiles (10) peuvent s'exécuter simultanément. Cette invention utilise un système efficace pour organiser et réorganiser les processeurs devant exécuter ces files multiples. L'organisation est intégrée à deux niveaux: au premier niveau, des processus sont affectés à des processeurs (processus 1- N). Au deuxième niveau, des files sont affectées au processus (file 1-N). On obtient une plus grande efficacité grâce à cette intégration et également par la formation de processus ayant un contexte destructible. Le procédé utilise la mémorisation partagée (15, noyau) pour indiquer le niveau de demande pour chaque région parallèle.

Abstract: A memory system couples to a local bus of a microprocessor includes at least a pair of dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) and includes means for storing the first address of an address sequence at the beginning of each burst operation and uses predetermined bits to generate any one of the set of address sequences as a function of the states of these bits. A first predetermined address bit is used to select different sequences of addressed readout data words to be transferred by the pair of DRAMs to the user. A second predetermined address bit is complemented to reverse the two high order address responses with the two low order address responses of specific address sequences. These operations are utilized to all of the required address sequences within the different subgroups.

     The polymerizable compounds is excellent in formability, and find a wide variety of applications because they have functional groups different in reactivity from each other and hence allow the curing conditions to control. The cured polymers are excellent in thermal durability, mechanical properties and electrical properties, making it possible to achieve higher performance, higher reliability, highly compact and lower weight of electric apparatuses and electronic parts.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for applying a fold-over seal (S2) about overlapping lengths of strap (L,U). The open seal (52) is positioned with the strap lengths (L,U) between its legs (LG2). Opposing jaws (40) are pivoted about axes (42) against the open seal legs (LG1,LG2) toward the strap lengths (L,U) to bend the seal legs (LG2) inwardly while decreasing the distance between the seal crown (C2) and the pivot axes (42) of the jaws (40). The decrease in the distance between the jaw pivot axes and the seal is limited at a predetermined minimum distance, but the jaws continue to be pivoted to fold the seal legs (LG2) adjacent the strap lengths (L,U). As the jaws approach the fully closed position, the distance between the seal crown (C2) and the jaw pivot axes (42) is increased, and this forces the seal crown (C2) and legs (LG2) closer together to complete crimping of the seal.

Abstract: In order to produce a mixture hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface proteins in the form of particles, DNA encoding two or more HBV proteins was expressed by a single recombinant yeast. In order to form particles with substantially reduced carbohydrate, such DNA encoding two or more HBV proteins is expressed in a single recombinant yeast host which is deficient in its ability to glycosylate proteins. These HBV proteins display the antigenic sites genetically encoded by the S domain (including the preS domain) of the HBV virion envelope open reading frame and when expressed in a yeast deficient for its ability to glycosylate, contain substantially reduced levels of entrapped carbohydrate when compared with HBsAg particles produced in yeast cells "wild-type" for glycosylation. These particles are useful as a vaccine for both the active and passive treatment or prevention of disease and/or infection caused by HBV or other agents serologically related to HBV including antigenic variants in the immunodominant epitopes of the surface protein and also are useful as antigens and immunogens for development of diagnostic tests for such diseases or infections.

Abstract: For replenishing a metal ion to a plating bath, a soluble electrode of the same type of metal as in the bath and a counter electrode of a metal material having a nobler standard electrode potential than the soluble electrode are immersed in the bath. Electricity is conducted between the soluble electrode and the counter electrode, thereby dissolving the soluble electrode to replenish an ion of the metal of the soluble electrode to the bath. The potential of the counter electrode is measured using a reference electrode of the same metal as the soluble electrode. The quantity of electricity is controlled such that the measured potential may not be negative with respect to the reference electrode, thereby preventing deposition of the dissolving metal ion on the counter electrode while ensuring a high rate of metal ion dissolution.

Abstract: A catalyst is disclosed comprising a thin outer shell of catalytic material bonded to an inner core of catalytically inert material. The catalyst is made by coating a catalytically inert core such as alpha alumina, with a thin layer of finely divided catalytically active material in a slurry of colloidal boehmite/pseudo boehmite then calcining to convert the boehmite/pseudo boehmite into y alumina thereby bonding it to the inert core. Catalysts made by this technique containing an outer shell of platinum on fluorided alumina in an inert core of alpha alumina are attractive isomerization catalysts.
