Abstract: Multipurpose catheter including a small diameter cylindrical body including a first end, a second end, and at least three internal non-coaxial channels. A connection mechanism is disposed adjacent the first end for communicating with the non-coaxial channels. The connection mechanism comprises an ergonomic monobloc head which is sealingly attached to the first end of the cylindrical body. The monobloc head comprises a bulged wall having at least three independent inlets for communicating with the three non-coaxial channels via bores and two walls which continue from the bulged wall. An inwardly curved connecting wall is also included. The connecting wall is disposed adjacent the first end of the cylindrical body and connects the two walls. The two walls comprise first opposite facing inclined surfaces and second opposite facing inclined surfaces having a different inclination. One of the at least three channels is adapted to provide communication between at least one of the independent inlets and an elastically deformable balloon disposed adjacent the second end. Two of the at least three channels are adapted to allow the introduction of one of a liquid and a surgical mandrin. The ergonomic monobloc head is adapted to be gripped by a user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of generating antibodies directed against cell surface antigens and it uses recombinant insect cells as immunogens. The insect cells have been transfected with coding regions for a molecule containing a cell surface antigen and these antigens are expressed on the surface of the insect cells. Host animals are immunized with these transfected insect cells to generate antibodies directed against the cell surface antigen. Antibody-producing cells from the host animal are used to generate monoclonal antibody-producing hybridoma cells. Sera and hybridoma supernatants can be tested for the presence of antibodies against the surface antigen, using the transfected cells in a screening assay. Specific antibodies that have been generated by the present method are anti-B7 and anti-CD40 antibodies and they can be used to prevent or treat an antibody-mediated or immune system disease in a patient. The anti-B7 antibodies can be used to cause T cell anergy, treat allograft transplant rejection, treat graft versus host disease, and prevent or treat rheumatoid arthritis. An immunosuppressive agent may be co-administered with the antibody. The anti-CD40 antibodies which bind to the CD40 antigen can be used to prevent the growth or differentiation of the B cell. Monoclonal antibodies useful in these methods, and epitopes immunoreactive with such monoclonal antibodies are also presented.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for desulfurising an NOx accumulator or an NOx accumulating catalyst mounted downstream from an internal combustion engine operated with a lean mixture. According to said method, after adjustment of a predetermined relatively low desulfurization temperature reaching approximately 600  DEG C, the lambda value is lowered to a constant value of approximately 0.98 for a predetermined period. Then, said lambda value is let to oscillate around an average lambda value which is lowered to about 0.93-0.95, as a function of time, from a pre-set initial value. The oscillation amplitude is preferably risen to a maximum value +/- 0.1, while the oscillation frequency is simultaneously reduced by about 0.2 Hz to about 0.1 Hz. In order to increase the desulfurization speed, the average catalyst temperature is also risen, as a function of time, to reach approximately 700-720  DEG C. The indicated process parameters are always selected on the basis of the catalyst system which is used, so that deposited sulphur is released during removal of undesirable hydrogen sulphide emissions, essentially in the form of sulphur dioxide, and so that desulfurization times are minimised. The parameters can be modified in a time dependent or independent manner from each other.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un article absorbant que l'utilisatrice porte sous la ceinture.'article comprend une feuille de base souple, imperméable au liquide qui fait face vers l'extérieur par rapport au corps de l'utilisatrice ; une feuille supérieure perméable au liquide faisant face au corps de l'utilisatrice et une âme absorbante placée entre la feuille de base et la feuille supérieure. La feuille supérieure est de préférence extensible et comporte une pluralité de fentes ou découpes qui s'étendent dans le matériau de la feuille supérieure et qui s'agrandissent de façon à former une pluralité d'orifices dans la feuille supérieure lorsque celle-ci est soumise à des forces de traction en utilisation. Les orifices permettent à des exsudats biologiques solides et semi-solides de traverser la feuille supérieure et de passer dans l'âme absorbante. Lorsque l'utilisatrice retire la serviette hygiénique, les forces de traction exercées dans la feuille supérieure se relâchent, ce qui provoque la fermeture des orifices de la feuille supérieure et la dissimulation des exsudats biologiques qui ont traversé la feuille supérieure.

Title: A system for deboning, trimming and packaging of beef
Inventor: MCDONNELL DECLAN ARTHUR
IPC: A22C18/00
Filed: 2009-07-20
Abstract: Butchery products from a trimming line 90 are diverted to one of two quality assurance stations 70, 71 according to pre-determined protocol for inspection. At each station 70, 71, product identification and instructions are relayed to the operator via a terminal. A history of quality non-conformances is maintained and feedback provided. An intelligent flow line directs primals and trimmings to/from designated quality assurance stations 70, 71 so that the weight, identification and quality attributes of incoming primals/trims will be measured. This data will be continually fed to a central computer system which will give real time quality assurance data per primal/trim type and trimmer to the production supervisor(s). The first quality control station 70 is a static inspection station at which the trimmed cuts are inspected and feedback is provided via a terminal 73. After static inspection the meat cut may be re-introduced onto the main trimmed product conveyor 90. The second quality control station 71 comprises an inspection conveyor 72 to which meat cuts are led for inspection. Again, feedback and inputs are provided by a terminal 74. The output from the quality inspection station 71 may be directly packaged. <Figure 1>
