Abstract: A method for treating a tumor includes a first treatment procedure using a conventional cancer treatment technique, and a second treatment procedure which includes administering an effective amount of squalamine. The first treatment procedure may be a treatment with one or more conventional cytotoxic chemical compounds. As examples, the cytotoxic chemical compound may be a nitrosourea (such as BCNU), cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, 5-fluorouracil, paclitaxel and its derivatives, cisplatin or other platinum containing cancer treating agents. The cytotoxic chemical compound and the squalamine may be administered by any suitable route. The first treatment procedure may take place prior to the second treatment procedure, after the second treatment procedure, or the two treatment procedures may take place simultaneously. In one example, the first treatment procedure (e.g., a one time intravenous dosage of BCNU) is completed before the second treatment procedure with squalamine begins. As an alternative, the first treatment procedure may be a conventional radiation treatment regimen.

Abstract: An improved progressive cavity (pc) pump is provided. In a first aspect, the pc-pump comprises a rotor connected to a motor via a drive shaft that is isolated from the material flowing through the suction chamber of the pump, thereby preventing the pumped material from reaching the joints of the drive shaft through faulty seals. In another aspect, the pc-pump comprises a rotor assembly comprising a rotor shaft that is joined to a rotor member by means of a connecting member featuring a thermally-induced structural failure capability that provides a tamper-proof fail-safe mechanism against overheating. In a preferred embodiment the connecting member is made of low temperature melting alloy that converts into the liquid state at a temperature beyond which the operation of the pump may no longer be safe. If the pump overheats, as a result of deadhead operation or dry pumping, the connecting member melts thus terminating the driving relationship between the rotor shaft and the rotor member. The improved pc-pump is particularly useful for pumping explosives.

Abstract: A compact dissolved-air-flotation (DAF) clarifier and clarification process utilize three zones for clarification which operate in sequence in a single clarifier. Raw water with suspended solids enters a flocculator at the center of an annular tank where microscopic air bubbles introduced to the inflow float flocked contaminants to form a floating sludge layer. A first clarification, calming and degassing occur here. The water then flows radially outwardly into the tank where further quiet clarification occurs. A third level of clarification occurs in a lower portion of the tank, specifically, in a set of plate-like lamellae, radial and conical, which form inclined channels where a final clarification occurs. The bottom wall of the tank has a set of apertures which allow a gravity flow of clarified water through a layer of pressurized gas to an underlying collection compartment. Level sensors control a valve in the clarified outflow line and an air bleed from the pressurized gas layer to regulate liquid levels in the clarifier. A set of rotating paddles push the sludge layer up a ramp to an inclined discharge conduit. Alternatively, a suction head with a mechanical skimmer sweeps around the tank to draw the sludge through a central hollow pipe to a discharge conduit. An offset drive operating through a belt rotates the sludge removal mechanism and the lamellae.

Abstract: Die Erfindung geht aus von einem System zur Änderung der Getriebeübersetzung bei einem Stufengetriebe, bei dem während einer Änderung der Getriebeübersetzung eine Schwungmasse beschleunigt oder verzögert wird. Die Schwungmasse, im wesentlichen bestehend aus Motorkomponenten und dem Wandler, muß biespielsweise bei Rückschaltvorgängen beschleunigt werden, während die Schwungmasse bei Hochschaltvorgängen verzögert wird. Zur Veränderung der Getriebeübersetzung sind wenigstens zwei auswählbare unterschiedliche Strategien vorgesehen. Der Kern der Erfindung besteht darin, daß zunächst ein das Motorausgangsmoment repräsentierender erster Wert und ein den Momentenbedarf zur Beschleunigung oder Verzögerung der Schwungmasse repräsentierender zweiter Wert erfaßt wird. Zur Änderung der Getriebeübersetzung wird dann eine der oben erwähnten Strategien abhängig von einem Vergleich des erfaßten ersten Wertes mit dem erfaßten zweiten Wert ausgewählt. Um das Motorausgangsmoment beim tatsächlichen Schaltvorgang zu bestimmen, wird dieses aus dem aktuellen Lastsignal und drosselklappenwinkelabhängigen Größen prädiziert.

Abstract: For the purpose of preventing generation of burning or disconnection of an inrush current preventing resistor (3) when making and
breaking of an AC power supply are frequently repeated, energy to be charged to a smoothing capacitor (4) at the time of making the power
supply is calculated from the capacitance of the smoothing capacitor (4) of a capacitor-input type rectifying circuit and the value of a
rectifying smoothing DC voltage, and a mean power is calculated from the energy and the number of times of power making and breaking
within a predetermined period of time. If the mean power exceeds an allowable power of the inrush current preventing resistor (3) for
preventing an inrush current at the time of making the power supply, warning by an alarm display or an alarm output and power non-making
interlock are carried out, and driving of a load-side device is stopped. In the case where the capacitance of the smoothing capacitor (4) and
the value of the rectifying smoothing DC voltage are known in advance, the number of power on/off times within a predetermined period of
time is counted. If the number of times exceeds a predetermined number, warning by an alarm display or an alarm output and power non-making
interlock are carried out, and driving of the load-side device is stopped.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for selectively extending an oligonucleotide primer along a specific target polynucleotide sequence in a mixture of polynucleotides. Selective extension is achieved by controlling the concentration of the oligonucleotide primer by forming the oligonucleotide in situ by degrading the 3'-end of a modified oligonucleotide. The method comprises providing in combination the mixture of polynucleotides and the modified oligonucleotide having a 3'-end that is not extendable along any polynucleotide and extending the oligonucleotide primer selectively along the specific target polynucleotide sequence by controlling the degradation of the 3'-end of the modified oligonucleotide. In this way extension of the oligonucleotide primer along polynucleotides other than the specific target polynucleotide sequence is substantially reduced or avoided. In another aspect the invention is an improvement in a method for amplifying a target polynucleotide sequence. The method comprises combining the target polynucleotide sequence with reagents for amplifying the target polynucleotide sequence and subjecting the combination to conditions wherein the target polynucleotide sequence is amplified. The reagents comprise an oligonucleotide primer and a polymerase. The improvement comprises deriving the oligonucleotide primer from a modified oligonucleotide having a portion that hybridizes to the target polynucleotide sequence except for the 3'-end thereof, which has at least one nucleotide analog that is incapable of hybridizing to a polynucleotide. Kits for carrying out the above methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A cutting insert for milling cutter tools, primarily for side milling cutters and
slotting cutters, has upper and lower, mutually opposed surfaces (17, 18), of which at
least the lower one (17) is substantially planar in order to form a bottom surface that may
bear against a cooperating support surface on the milling cutter tool. Further, the cutting
insert comprises mutually opposed first and second side surfaces (20) and mutually
opposed third and fourth side or gable surfaces (30, 31), which either forms a main
cutting edge (23, 25) at an edge line distal from the bottom surface (17). The cutting
insert may be rotated half a revolution in order to indexate the one and the other main
cutting edge, respectively. One of the main cutting edges (25) is more distant than the
other main cutting edge (23) from the center axis of the screw hole, the more distant
cutting edge being shorter than the nearer cutting edge (23) and located substantially
symmetrically relative to the middle of said side or gable surface (30). In this way, when
the cutting inserts are mounted into alternate directions in the side milling cutter, a chip
partition is obtained, and thereby an improved chip-flow.
