Abstract: A lifting apparatus for deployment through a laparoscopic incision in a body wall to apply an external lifting force over a large area of the body wall. The apparatus provides a broad lifting surface that is capable of applying a lifting force of at least 40 pounds (180 Newtons) to an area of a body wall sufficiently extensive to reduce the lifting pressure exerted on the body wall to well below that which could cause pressure trauma to the body wall, yet delivers this broad lifting surface through the body wall via an incision about 14 mm long. The apparatus comprises a body wall engaging element capable of passing in a packaged state through the laparoscopic incision, and being inflatable to an inflated state. In the inflated state, the body wall engaging element is substantially toroidal, provides a broad lifting face, and bounds a central hole. The body wall engaging element includes an equatorial portion facing into the central hole. The apparatus also includes a flexible lifting element that has a flexible portion capable of passing through the laparoscopic incision. The flexible portion is attached to the equatorial portion of the body wall engaging element and extends from the equatorial portion towards the broad lifting face. The flexible lifting element also includes an adapter, connected to part of the flexible portion remote from the equatorial portion of the body wall engaging element, that receives the external lifting force and transfers the external lifting force to the flexible portion.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method for achieving stable integration of an exogenous DNA fragment in intact form into the genome of a eukaryotic cell, particularly a plant cell. The method comprises providing the exogenous DNA together with one or more proteins which promote integration of the exogenous DNA to the eukaryotic cell targeted for transformation, wherein the proteins are provided in the form of a chimeric gene or translatable RNA capable of expression in the eukaryotic cell. The method is particularly applied to plant cells to achieve stable integration of an exogenous DNA fragment bounded by T-DNA borders in intact form using integration-promoting proteins derived from Agrobacterium. Transgenic cultures, tissues and whole organisms, particularly transgenic plants, can be generated from cells transformed according to the method of the invention.

Abstract: A planetary gear assembly (60) is disclosed having a sun gear (54) fixed for rotation with an input (44), a ring gear (56), and a planet carrier (66) fixed for rotation with an output (42) and which has a plurality of planet gears (58) rotatably supported thereon that mesh with the sun gear and the ring gear. To establish the high and low-range drive connections between the input and the output, a first range sleeve (120) is supported for rotation with the input and is movable between a neutral position and an engaged position whereat the input is coupled to the planet carrier. In addition, a second range sleeve (122) is supported for rotation with the ring gear and is movable between a neutral position and an engaged position whereat the ring gear is coupled to a stationary brake plate (142). Accordingly, the high-range drive connection between the input and the output is established when the first range sleeve is in its engaged position and the second range sleeve is in its neutral position. Moreover, the low-range drive connection between the input and the output is established when the first range sleeve is in its neutral position and the second range sleeve is in its engaged position. Finally, a neutral mode is established whereat the output is not driven by the input when both the first and second range sleeves are in their respective neutral positions.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetic switch magnet control system (1) for contactors (2). The contactor (2) has a coil (7) which drives switching contacts (5) via an armature (4) moving between an ON and OFF position. The switch magnet control system (1) also has a sensor (S, 3a) used to determine the position of the armature (4) driven by the coil (7). A mark (4a) joined to the armature (4) can be detected by the sensor (S, 3a). The sensor (S, 3a) is arranged with respect to the mark (4a) in such a manner that when the armature (4) deviates to a small extent from the ON position the sensor (S, 3a) detects the mark (4a) and sends an appropriate signal to the switch magnet control system (1). So, a maximum magnetic field is generated which drives the armature (4) towards the ON position as soon as the sensor (3; S, 3a) detects the mark (4a), the strength of said maximum magnetic field being set or adjusted for a predetermined maximum time (tmax) and cut off at the end of said maximum time (tmax).

Abstract: By an appropriate arrangement of a permanent magnet (4) and ferromagnetic conducting material a stable levitation and carrying condition can be obtained. The permanent magnet (4) places the ferromagnetic material into a state of partial magnetic saturation. In order to move the load held by the magnet (4) as easily and efficiently as possible, electro-magnets are to be arranged in such a way that they influence the movement of the permanent magnet (4) in that, taking into account the magnetic saturation of the carrier section (1), the magnetic circuit generated by coupling the permanent electro-magnetic force fields tries to shorten itself. As a further development of the invention the coil cores (2) too can be integrated into the permanent-magnetic partial saturation which leads to the levitation and carrying condition so that a change in the saturation and thus the envisaged movement can be achieved by relatively few components, with little wear and a relatively small amount of electrical energy with which the coils (3) need to be supplied.

Abstract: The present invention relates to five synthetic peptides of pre-M/M protein of Dengue-2 virus, corresponding to amino acid sequences 3-31, 45-67, 57-92, 69-93 and 103-124. The anti-peptide immune response was evaluated in mice. Recombinant fusion proteins were also obtained, including regions of pre-M/M protein. The presence of B cell epitopes in both mice and humans was demonstrated in the pre-M/M protein peptides. Peptides 3-31 and 103-124 elicited neutralizing antibodies against the four serotypes of Dengue virus. Virus-specific proliferative responses were demonstrated in mice immunized with non-conjugated peptides 3-31 and 57-92. Mice immunized with conjugated peptides 3-31, 57-92, and 69-93 were protected when they were challenged with Dengue-2 virus. Thus, the presence of sequential epitopes in Pre-M/M protein of Dengue-2 virus was demonstrated, as well as their relevance in the immune response against this flavivirus.

Abstract: A nitrogen doped single crystal silicon carbide boule is grown by the physical vapor transport process by introducing nitrogen gas into the growth furnace. During the growth process the pressure within the furnace is maintained at a constant value, Po, where Po</=100 Torr. This is accomplished by measuring the pressure within the furnace and providing the pressure measurement to a process controller which regulates the nitrogen introduction as nitrogen gas is incorporated into the crystal structure. The partial pressure of the nitrogen may be selected to be at a value between 1 and Po. If the desired partial pressure is less than Po, an inert gas is added to make up the difference.
