Abstract: A plug for connection to an RCA or phono type socket wherein a signal pin (15) is frictionally located within the bore of said socket and a pin-like return conductor (16) is adapted to make contact with the socket casing. The spacing (17) between the signal pin and return conductor is by means of a non-conductive plastic polymer or similar material, such material also assisting to engage the return conductor against the outside casing of the RCA socket. By reducing the amount of conductive metal material used in the return conductor of a typical RCA plug i.e. by using a pin-like return conductor rather than a cylindrical conductive band and associated support body, the present invention reduces inductive, capacitive and eddy current distortion and offers improved signal transmission.

Abstract: This invention provides novel substrate compounds that selectively inhibit the proliferation of pathological cells, for example, pathological cells that endogenously overexpress a target enzyme that confers resistance to biologic and chemotherapeutic agents. The enzyme acts on a substrate compound to 1) convert it to a cellular toxin and/or 2) release a toxic byproduct. In one embodiment, the activity of the target enzyme has been greatly enhanced in a target cell as a result of loss of tumor suppressor function and/or selection resulting from previous exposure to chemotherapy. In another embodiment, the pathological cell contains a target enzyme that is an expression product of an infectious agent in the cell. Further provided by this invention is a method for treating a subject by delivering to the subject a prodrug as described herein. The prodrugs of this invention may be used alone or in combination with other chemotherapeutics or alternative anti-cancer therapies such as radiation.

Abstract: A dental handpiece is provided including a neck wherein balls are guided in transverse channels of an input shaft and are radially spaced apart by a support piece including a tapered part thrust by a spring. A linking ring is mounted on the end of the input shaft and includes internal longitudinal grooves circular in cross-section and of variable depth along the longitudinal direction. The linking ring is mounted sliding and locked in rotation on an output shaft. Under the action of a resisting torque applied by the tool to the output shaft greater than a predetermined threshold, the linking balls are subjected to a reaction from the internal grooves of the linking ring which tends to bring them closer together, countering the spring. The balls are then released, producing a disengagement which limits the transmitted torque and prevents the tool engaged in the tool-bearing shaft from breaking.
