Abstract: Rod-locking unit (1) for a rotary printing machine comprises a rod-receiving element (9) forming a hollow body and surrounding a bearing (11) receiving a printing roller rod (13) with a rod bearing surface (12). The locking unit is displaced between a receiving position in which the printing roller rod engages with the bearing and a release position in which the printing roller rod disengages from the bearing. The locking unit also comprises a cylinder (2) containing a pressure chamber (3) and a piston (4) for displacing the receiving element between the receiving and release positions. The piston defines the pressure chamber at a boundary and at a connecting point with the receiving element to transfer the displacement force required. The distance between the boundary and the connecting point is shorter than the maximum stroke of the piston in the cylinder. The cylinder has an opening (14) that is open in the release position so that the printing roller rod and the locking unit are separated by displacement relative to each other.

Abstract: A plant for the production of ore comprising a proportion of fines, additives and green agglomerates optionally containing a binder, provided with an outer coating consisting of a combustible containing fine-grained carbon, such as coke. In the plant, the ore is mixed with the additives and the optionally available binder. The mixture is pelletized and the green agglomerates thus formed are coated with the combustible, whereby the combustible is introduced into an agglomeration drum. In order to enable continual production of homogeneous-quality green agglomerates, the mixture is pelletized in the agglomeration drum and the combustible is added in an area of the longitudinal extension of the agglomeration drum where the size of the green agglomerates formed in the agglomeration drum is sufficient for further processing.

Abstract: An ANSI Type A voltage regulator that eliminates the need for a potential transformer is disclosed. A control unit finds an output voltage by constantly monitoring the input voltage across the utility windings and the stored tap position. The value of the output voltage is further fine tuned by taking into account the effect of the impedance of the voltage regulator itself on the output voltage. The impedance is calculated using the instantaneous current through the regulator, the maximum rated current of the voltage regulator, the instantaneous voltage through the voltage regulator, the instantaneous Power Factor, and the tap position of the voltage regulator.

Abstract: Use, in a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition (A), of at least one lyophilizate (B) of dedifferentiated plant cells, where (B) causes depigmentation and/or lightening, protection and regeneration of the epidermis. An independent claim is also included for topical cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions that contain (B). ACTIVITY : Dermatological. Human keratinocytes and melanocytes were seeded on to polycarbonate filters and grown for 10 days at an air/medium interface to produce a type VI (negroid) epidermis. Samples of this were incubated for an unspecified time with a cream (PXTS; designed for very dry skin) that contained 0.5 % of a lyophilizate of dedifferentiated cells of Crithmum maritimum. Intracellular melanin synthesis was then analyzed spectrometrically at 475 nm; absorbance was 0.160 in a negative control but 0.101 (37 % reduction) in the test sample. A further test showed a 32 % reduction in tyrosinase activity. MECHANISM OF ACTION : Blocking activity of tyrosinase (depigmentation and lightening); scavenging free radicals (protective effect) and/or stimulating proliferation of cells in the basal layer and inhibiting epidermal differentiation (regenerative effect).

Abstract: In a nonvolatile memory with block management system that supports update blocks with non-sequential logical units, an index of the logical units in a non-sequential update block is buffered in RAM and stored periodically into the non-volatile memory. In one embodiment, the index is stored in a block dedicated for storing indices. In another embodiment, the index is stored in the update block itself. In yet another embodiment, the index is stored in the header of each logical unit. In another aspect, the logical units written after the last index update but before the next have their indexing information stored in the header of each logical unit. In this way, after a power outage, the location of recently written logical units can be determined without having to perform a scanning during initialization. In yet another aspect, a block is managed as partially sequential and partially non-sequential, directed to more than one logical subgroup.

Abstract: The invention concerns compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based upon the identification of genes that are amplified in the genome of tumor cells. Such gene amplification is expected to be associated with the overexpression of the gene product as compared to normal cells of the same tissue type and contribute to tumorigenesis. Accordingly, the proteins encoded by the amplified genes are believed to be useful targets for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain cancers, and may act as predictors of the prognosis of tumor treatment.  The present invention is directed to novel polypeptides and to nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides. Also provided herein are vectors and host cells comprising those nucleic acid sequences, chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising the polypeptides of the present invention fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies which bind to the polypeptides of the present invention and to methods for producing the polypeptides of the present invention.
