Abstract: A redox flow battery composed of a plurality of cells in electrical series defined by a stacked and repetitive arrangement of a conductive intercell separator having a generally bipolar function, a positive electrode, an ion exchange membrane, a negative electrode and another conductive intercell separator, is operated by flowing a positive half-cell electrolyte containing reducible and oxidizable ions of a first redox couple through the compartments containing the positive electrodes and a negative half-cell electrolyte containing reducible and oxidizable ions of a second redox couple through the compartments containing the negative electrodes in cascade in a counter or equi-current mode. The difference of cell voltage between the first and the last cell of the stack is sensibly reduced and by-pass currents are substantially eliminated thus resulting in an increased overall faradic efficiency. A cell stack architecture provided with ducting for implementing the two counter current cascaded flows of the positive and negative electrolytes is described. The alternated used of cationic and anionic membranes compensate for unbalanced water transport through the membranes.

Abstract: This invention relates to the therapeutic induction of apoptosis in activated inflammatory cells, or cells at a site of inflammation, by introducing into those cells a chimeric gene containing an apoptosis-inducing gene (AIG) driven by a promoter of an inducible gene activated in inflammation and a promoter enhancer such that the inflammatory cells are targeted. In one embodiment, the chimeric gene comprises at least one TNFalpha promoter enhancer attached to a functional copy of a minimal TNFalpha promoter and further attached to at least one copy of an apoptosis-inducing gene, wherein expression of the gene is driven by the TNFalpha promoter. Attachment can be direct, distal, proximal or combinations thereof. Example apoptosis-inducing genes include caspase 3, caspase 4, caspase 5, Granzyme B. Advantageously, the TNFp-AIG chimeric gene is expressed in only those cells producing the inflammatory cytokine, TNFalpha. In addition, the TNFp-AIG chimeric gene also sequesters inducible TNFp transcription factors, thereby reducing endogenous production of TNFalpha. The invention also relates to methods of making and using self-regulated apoptosis chimeric genes and pharmaceutical compositions containing them for treating inflammatory diseases.

Abstract: A slot-widening key for use with insert holders of the kind that includes a blade shaped body having a slot intended to receive an insert. One surface of the slot is defined by an elastically flexible clamping arm for clamping the insert. The key has a shaft with two projections for engaging laterally opening seats in the body and the clamping arm, respectively. One of these two projections is provided on a pivoting link that is pivotably connected with the shaft via a hinge pin. The sum of a first distance between the hinge pin and one of projections, plus a second distance between the hinge pin and the other projection, is larger than the at-rest distance between the seats of the insert holder. Pivoting of the shaft beyond an unstable position of equilibrium thus makes the clamping arm deflect by a predetermined value for widening the slot. The key is self-supporting in the slot-widening position and does not require that the manual force be continuously applied.

Abstract: To fill a continuous tube, such as a sausage skin, the skin (2) is compressed at the filling tube (1) to be fed towards the filling end (3) of the tube (1). A test unit (7) gives a continuous check on the condition of the skin (2) as it is advanced, to identify and locate any weak points, before they reach the filling end (3). The test unit has at least one optical scanner (7), at a test stretch (6) along the filling tube (1) upstream of the skin filling end (3), where the compressed skin (2) is taken from the build-up and is drawn flat over the surface of the filling tube (1). The skin test stretch (6) is at the skin filling tube (1) between the skin brake (4) at the filling end and the skin take-off (5) from the compressed build-up at the other end. A mechanism gives a temporary loosening or opening action at the skin brake (4), controlled by the test unit (7). An Independent claim is included for an assembly to fill a continuous sausage skin, and the like, where the skin (2) is monitored continuously for weak points before it reaches the filling end (3) of the skin filling tube (1).

Abstract: Methods of activating a signaling cascade comprising, introducing leptin and/or a cytokine to a receptor complex comprising gp 130, optionally in combination with a compound acting on adenylate cyclase or acting on one or more downstream targets of adenylate cyclase, thereby inducing genes in neuro-endocrine cells or cells of neuro-endocrine origin. Two distinct gene-sets are induced, immediate early response genes (STAT-3, SOCS-3, Metallothionein-II, the serine/threonine kinase Fnk and the rat homologue of MRF-1), and late induced target genes (Pancreatitis Associated Protein I, Squalene Epoxidase, Uridinediphosphate Glucuronyl Transferase and Annexin VIII). Strong co-stimulation with the adenylate cyclase activator forskolin was shown with respect to late induced target genes. Transcripts encoding Leptin Induced Protein I (LIP-I) and Leptin Induced Protein II (LIP-II) were identified; however, no forskolin co-stimulatory effect was observed. It is also demonstrated that leptin modulates in vivo expression of MT-II, Fnk and Pancreatitis Associated Protein I genes.
