Abstract: Male and female members for contact lenses are disclosed. Either member is able to hold the contact lens as it moves from station to station during the hydration process. The female member fits together with the male member forming a chamber. Each of the members contains a line centrally located so that both surfaces of the contact lens are flushed during the hydration process, and drainage takes place radially on the outside of the mated male and female chamber members. These members may be produced on a frame with a plurality of members, usually eight to a frame, to allow ease of processing. Full automation is possible, and complete and positive lens control during any step of the process through the packaging step is achieved.

Abstract: A forming roller or a supporting roller arrangement (10) for a packaging material web (30) used for a liquid container comprises a plurality of rollers (11) with the outer peripheral surface thereof curved in the axial direction of a shaft (13) of each roller (11). The plurality of rollers (11) are arranged at positions for forming a planar packaging material web (30) into a tubular shape or at positions for supporting the packaging material web after it has been formed into a tubular shape. Each roller (11) is divided into a plurality of roller portions (115,117,119) along planes perpendicular to the roller shaft (13). The packaging material web (30) is passed between the plurality of rollers (11), and the surface of the packaging material web is brought into contact with outer peripheral surfaces (111) of said plurality of rollers. When said packaging material web (30) is transported, each of the divided roller portions (115,117,119) of the rollers (11) is independently rotated. In this case, the roller portion (117) having a smaller diameter is more quickly rotated than the roller portion (115,119) with a larger diameter, and there will be no big difference in peripheral speed between the outer peripheral surfaces (111) of the rollers (11). As a result, the resistance presented by the rollers to the packaging material web (30) is reduced, and the packaging material web is fed more smoothly. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un dispositif de validation (1) de pièces de monnaie présente une trajectoire pour les pièces. Il est préférable qu'une pièce de monnaie (14), se déplaçant sur ladite trajectoire, s'appuie contre une paroi (9) longeant cette dernière et sur laquelle sont positionnées des bobines détectrices. A cette fin, une masse arrondie (12), telle qu'une bille métallique, est soutenue de façon à faire saillie sur ladite trajectoire. Lorsqu'il s'agit d'une pièce lourde (14), celle-ci heurte une zone supérieure de la masse (12), ce qui repousse cette dernière hors de la trajectoire. Le mouvement de ladite masse (12) absorbe l'énergie cinétique de la pièce (16). Puis, alors que cette dernière (16) dépasse la masse (12), elle est déviée par la surface de ladite masse (12) contre la paroi (9) de la trajectoire. Lorsqu'il s'agit de pièces légères, comme la masse (12) ne s'étend pas entièrement au travers de la trajectoire, une pièce légère ne doit pas nécessairement la déplacer et peut passer par la fente entre la masse et la paroi (9). Cependant, si la pièce emprunte une trajectoire indésirable, elle sera déviée par la surface de la masse (12) vers la paroi (9).

Abstract: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the primary etiologic agent for the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV exhibits considerable genotypic and phenotypic variability as manifested by different replicative kinetics, susceptibility to serum neutralization, antiviral drug resistance, cytopathic effects, and host-cell range specificity. Infection by HIV leads to progressive deterioration of cell-mediated immune responses making infected patients susceptible to a variety of opportunistic infections, such as pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), as well as, to the development of tumors such as Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). While the use of live-attenuated viruses to treat HIV infection has been proposed, to date researchers have been unable to demonstrate their efficacy in a clinical setting. The claimed invention addresses this defect by providing therapeutic compositions and methods of treatment employing viral suspensions prepared from cells transfected with a recombinant HIV-1 nef-deficient molecular clone. The HIV-1 nef gene product is required for efficient viral replication and pathogenicity in vivo. Nef may exert its effects through the downregulation of CD4 by endocytosis and lysosomal degradation, although other activities have also been ascribed to this gene product. Accordingly, this gene product was targeted for inactivation and a recombinant HIV-1ELI molecular clone was generated containing an NcoI/XhoI nef deletion. Suspensions comprising viral particles generated from cells transfected with the recombinant clone were prepared and administered to HIV-infected patients. Patients receiving these suspensions displayed a statistically significant reduction in viral burden and increase in CD4<+> lymphocyte counts during the study. The claimed compositions should facilitate the reduction of viral burden and the restoration of CD4<+> lymphocyte levels in HIV-1-infected subjects.

Abstract: The element has a tensioning lever (2) which slides through a spherical bush (4) at one end of a guide housing (1). The lever rotates about the centre of the bush, and executes a straight-line motion followed by a perpendicular movement, during a tensioning process. Two pressure chambers (17,18) are formed in the cylindrical bore of the housing, and are separated form one another by the wall of a tensioning piston (3). The latter has a hole which is closed at one end, and which is part of the pressure chamber which extends inside the lever. A wedge is connected rigidly to the piston inside this space, and forms a first incline (21) climbing continuously towards the pressure surface of the piston. A cap (12) with a rotating pin (13) is fixed on a similarly-aligned incline (26) on the lever. The pin has a flat (14) which slides on the first incline.

Abstract: In a system for treating an exhaust stream, such as the exhaust of an internal combustion engine (10), the exhaust is initially treated by a first catalytic converter (14) and its effluent is cooled in an indirect heat exchanger (18) with an extraneous coolant fluid, i.e., one other than recycled engine exhaust, before introducing the exhaust into a hydrocarbon trap (30) to adsorb hydrocarbons therefrom at least during a cold-start period of engine operation. Such cooling enables utilization of highly efficient adsorbent materials such as activated carbon which otherwise could not be used. Adsorbed hydrocarbons are desorbed from the hydrocarbon trap (30) as the engine exhaust heats up. The exhaust is passed from hydrocarbon trap (30) to a second catalytic converter (34) for oxidation of the hydrocarbons. The coolant fluid may be air and the heated air obtained from the heat exchanger (18) may be introduced into the oxidation catalytic converter (34) to heat the latter at least during cold-start operation and to supply additional oxygen.
