Abstract: Methods and products relating the preservation of cultured mammalian epithelial or mesenchymal cells are provided. The methods involve the pre-treatment of epithelial cells with a solution containing a cryoprotectant amount of monosaccharides and/or disaccharides. The treated cells then are frozen, dried or freeze-dried in a minimum volume of solution and stored for later use. The invention avoids the use of materials that must be washed away from the preserved tissue prior to application of the tissue to a wound bed. The invention also permits the storage of epithelial tissue in a dry state.

Abstract: The technique consists in first choosing a layer of pre-decorated plastics material (40). This layer is put on one of the ski surfaces (40a,40b) after cutting a window (41) in the layer. A piece of transparent or translucent material is placed on the side of the internal face (40b) of the layer, to entirely cover the window space. This transparent piece is fixed to the layer by cold plating, gluing or welding. The contour of the transparent piece slightly overlaps the window contour thus defining, when covered, a small width contact and sealing edge (81).

Abstract: A partition feeder has a multi-rack assembly for holding more than one reserve stack of partitions. The partition feeder has a main stack of partitions which is forced against a set of tabs and which has its partitions removed by a selecting apparatus. When the main stack has been reduced down past a certain amount, one of the reserve stacks is automatically moved into alignment with the main stack and the partitions in the reserve stack are added to the main stack. The partition feeder has guide rails that are received in notched sides of the partitions, thereby suspending the partitions on the guide rails. An inner frame, upon which the guide rails are mounted, is adjustably mounted to a middle frame to thereby permit the adjustment of the distance between the guide rails. The middle frame is adjustably mounted to an outer frame to permit the vertical adjustment of the mass feeder. The partition feeder can therefore be easily adjusted for partitions of different sizes.

Abstract: A fractal-shaped element may be used to form an antenna (510A, 510B, 510B', 510C), an element in an antenna system, a ground counterpoise in an antenna system, a resonating system, or a combination of any or all of these elements. Fractalizing such systems can substantially reduce the physical size while preserving desired impedance and gain characteristics. For example, a fractalized antenna system for a cellular telephone may be fabricated within the telephone housing (500). The fractal component (510A, 510B, 510B', 510C) need not be planar and may be fabricated using printed circuit board or semiconductor fabrication techniques. Changes in spaced-apart or rotational proximities in an antenna or resonating system, or providing cuts in a fractal element may be used to tune such systems. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A portable self-contained data collection system for measuring and collecting vibration data from machines includes an accelerometer which is coupled to the analog input of a data acquisition card. The data acquisition card samples and digitizes the analog signal to produce a time domain digital signal. The data acquisition card output is coupled to a battery-powered portable computer. The battery-powered portable computer includes a database having machine identifications and associated measurement parameters. The portable computer processes the time domain digital signal according to the measurement parameters associated with a selected machine identification, and produces a frequency domain digital signal by performing a Fast Fourier Transform and other digital signal processing operations. The frequency domain signal is also analyzed in the portable computer to produce predictive maintenance information. A power supply for supplying power to the accelerometer is also included.
