Abstract: An adjustable bearing spacer (12) includes a cylindrical outer body (42) having a first end (44) for abutment with a bearing cone (28) disposed within one end of a hub (10) and an adjustable ring (46) for abutment with an opposite bearing cone (30). The ring (46) is threadingly engaged with the outer body (42) so as to be extendable from an end (48) of the body (42) allowing adjustment of the length of the spacer (12). End (48) is provided with a plurality of evenly-spaced markings. Two of these markings are in the form of small holes into which the prongs of a tool can be inserted. End (58) of ring (46) is also provided with markings in the form of holes into which the prongs of a tool can be inserted. The markings form an indexing scale for providing an indication of the extension in the length of the spacer (12) when the ring (46) is screwed in or out. The degree of extension is calculated as follows E11=1/x.z/y where X equals the number of threads per unit length on ring (46); Y equals the number of markings on the outer body (42); and Z equals the number of markings on the outer body (42) traversed by one of the markings on the ring (46) as the ring (46) is screwed outwardly of the body (42).

Abstract: The invention provides a method for selecting, from a repertoire of polypeptides, a population of functional polypeptides which bind a target ligand in a first binding site and a generic ligand in a second binding site, which generic ligand is capable of binding functional members of the repertoire regardless of target ligand specificity, comprising the steps of: a) contacting the repertoire with the generic ligand and selecting functional polypeptides bound thereto; and b) contacting the selected functional polypeptides with the target ligand and selecting a population of polypeptides which bind to the target ligand. The invention accordingly provides a method by which a polypeptide repertoire is preselected, according to functionality as determined by the ability to bind the generic ligand, and the subset of polypeptides obtained as a result of such preselection is then employed for further selection according to the ability to bind the target ligand.

Abstract: Disclosed is a production method of an aluminum support for a lithographic printing plate, capable of stable and low-cost production of an aluminum support for a lithographic printing plate, the support being scarcely subject to generation of treatment unevenness called streaks or grainy unevenness ascribable to the different in the aluminum dissolving rate due to the difference in the orientation of the crystal grain. The aluminum support is produced by surface graining and then polishing an aluminum plate or by polishing an aluminum plate while etching it in an aqueous acid or alkali solution. The aluminum plate may be subjected to polishing and then to anodization or may be subjected to polishing, to surface graining, again to or not to polishing and then to anodization. A production method for producing a high-quality support for a lithographic printing plate, free of local unevenness is also disclosed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In order to separate two classifiable materials, a material classifying apparatus includes a vibratory conveyor for conveying a fluidizable material from a material to be separated therefrom from an inlet end through a material separation section to an outlet end located downstream of the material separation section. A plenum chamber directs air upwardly through the fluidizable material and the material to be separated therefrom in the material separation section of the vibratory conveyor to cause fluidization of the fluidizable material and separation of the material to be separated therefrom by forming the material separation section to include a fluidizing deck for supporting the two classifiable materials while accommodating passage of air upwardly from the plenum chamber therethrough. With this arrangement and construction, the upper surface of the fluidizing deck has fluidizing zones for stabilizing the fluidizable material on the fluidizing deck to produce a uniform airflow through the fluidizable material to facilitate separation of the material to be separated therefrom upstream of the outlet end of the vibratory conveyor.

Abstract: A composite sports racquet includes a head portion which is formed by an upper frame half and a lower frame half. Each frame half is a tubular frame section, and includes a generally flat wall. The two walls are bonded to one another to form a unitary head portion, whereby the first and second walls form internal frame ribs oriented generally parallel to the string bed plane and extending continuously around the head portion. The upper and lower frame halves are preferably pre-molded individually and thereafter glued to one another. Alternatively, one of the frame halves can be pre-molded, with the other frame half thereafter molded onto the pre-molded half Preferably, the first and second walls include a plurality of channel portions which, when the racquet halves are joined, define the string holes. Preferably, the channel portions are contoured at the outer frame surface to form curved bearing surfaces for string entry. Also, if desired, the string holes can be molded so as to extend parallel to the string ends, rather than perpendicular to the racquet frame as is generally done with drilled string holes. Preferably, the string holes have a dimension, in a direction perpendicular to the string bed plane, which is substantially greater than the diameter of standard racquet strings, so that the strings are supported only on the outer portion of the frame, thereby extending the effective string length.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an improved surgical instrument having an end effector mounted on the end of an elongate shaft extending from a handle. The end-effector is capable of several different operations, including grasping, cutting, and sealing and/or coagulating tissue, and one of the operations is controlled by a drive handle mechanism as described herein. The drive handle mechanism comprises an actuator, a drive shaft and a spring assembly for transferring movement of the actuator to the drive shaft, which in turn controls the end effector. The drive handle mechanism is arranged so as to limit the amount of force transferred from the drive handle mechanism to the end effector, thus preventing damage to the tissue being operated on. Specifically, as the actuator is operated by the user, the spring assembly is arranged to transfer the movement of the actuator to the drive shaft and the end effector. At the same time, the spring assembly is arranged to compress in order to absorb some of the force applied by the user. Such a configuration thereby prevents the tissue being unintentionally damaged by the end effector. <Figure 6>
