Abstract: A high-speed envelope transport and insertion machine includes a slip-drive system having a plurality of belts configured to move envelopes along an envelope path at a first speed, an envelope transmission device disposed to input envelopes into the slip-drive system, an envelope stuffing device comprising a registration member and a drive member having a plurality of spaced-apart gripping members disposed to move continously between the slip-drive system and the envelope stuffing device at a second speed less than the first speed. The path of the gripping members and the envelopes crosses within the slip-drive system to permit the gripping member to engage and grip the envelope. The gripping member is configured to release the envelope upon registration of the envelope against the registration member of the envelope stuffing device.

Abstract: An active vibratory noise control apparatus has a speaker (43; 43-1) driven by an amplifier (42; 42-1) for canceling vibratory noise in the passenger compartment of a vehicle, the speaker being used as a speaker of one of different audio devices (40; 60) that can be installed on the vehicle. Each of the audio devices has a command key switch assembly (45). When the command key switch assembly (45) is operated to turn off transistor (47), a control signal is applied to a switching control circuit (7) in an active vibratory noise control unit (30-1), which identifies the audio device installed on the vehicle. The active vibratory noise control unit (30-1) generates a canceling signal matching characteristics of the speaker (43; 43-1) and / or amplifier (42; 42-1)of the identified audio device for canceling vibratory noise in the passenger compartment.

Abstract: Plugs and methods for plugging septal defects and blood vessels are provided. Plugs are delivered via catheter to a septal defect or a location where it is desired to occlude blood flow in a blood vessel. The plugs are positioned and expanded at the treatment site. The expansion of the plugs can be accomplished passively by using a heat-treated elastic frame or actively by using a balloon to deform a plastically-deforming frame. Plugging structures mounted to the frame span the defect or lumen and prevent blood flow. The plugs described herein have small profiles, and are more reliable than preceding intraluminal transcatheter methods.

Abstract: A telescopic fork leg with damping system comprising piston (8) and piston rod (6) arrangements. The said arrangements perform longitudinal shift motions in a medium-containing chamber. The chamber is situated in a tubular part belonging to the damping system. The piston rod arrangement is designed so as in the chamber, with its parts present therein, to have substantially constant volume regardless of the shift motions. Substantial displacement creation is thereby prevented. Moreover, the medium strives to assume and maintain a particular pressure, preferably a positive pressure, on the low-pressure side of the piston arrangement. Positive pressure build-up is therefore present in the damping system and the pressure on the low-pressure side does not need to be lower than the system pressure. A valve arrangement for handling a displacement can therefore be eliminated and the telescopic fork leg can be given an advantageous and easy-to-use structure with, for example, adjustment facilities for leak flows.

Abstract: A non-human transgenic mammalian animal contains an exogenous double stranded DNA sequence stably integrated into the genome of the animal, which comprises  cis -acting regulatory units operably linked to a DNA sequence encoding human Factor VIII protein and a signal peptide, where the  cis -acting regulatory units are active in mammary gland cells and the signal peptide is active in directing newly expressed Factor VIII into the milk of the animal. The promoter may be a milk protein promoter such as for whey acidic protein, casein, lactalbumin, or beta-lactoglobulin promoter. The transgenic mammals are preferably farm animals, for example, cows, goats, sheep, rabbits and pigs. Concurrent expression of a gene for human von Willebrand's Factor into milk may be used to stabilize newly-secreted Factor VIII.
