Abstract: The rotating roller, and especially the washing roller is for a vehicle washing assembly. It has a stiff and non-bending bond in the peripheral direction for the radial inner ends (3a) of the strips (3) at the roller core (2). The inner ends of the strips, in the peripheral direction, have the maximum width (8), and the strips taper towards their free ends (3b). The strips are components of a disc (4) coaxially round the roller core, as a number of triangular strips tapering towards their outer free ends. Structured gaps are between the strips. A number of discs, with strips, are mounted to the roller core. The strips or discs are of a foam material with open or closed pores, of soft or hard rubber, of plastics films or plates, of felt, of carpeting fabric, of microfibre material, of leather, of natural or synthetic fleece, of cellular rubber, and the like.

Abstract: We describe an improved method for generating sizable numbers of mature dendritic cells from nonproliferating progenitors in human blood. The first step or "priming" phase is a culture of T cell depleted mononuclear cells in medium supplemented with GM-CSF and IL-4 to produce immature dendritic cells. The second step or "differentiation" phase requires the exposure to dendritic cell maturation factor such as monocyte conditioned medium. Using this two-step approach, substantial yields are obtained. The dendritic cells derive from this method have all the features of mature cells. They include a stellate cell shape, nonadherence to plastic, and very strong T cell stimulatory activity. The mature dendritic cells produced according to this invention are useful for activating T cells.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for tibial alignment which allows the independent establishment of two separate geometric planes to be used as a reference for the cutting of the tibial plateau during total knee arthroplasty. Two separate frame assemblies with telescoping rods are attached to the tibia with a fixed relative angle between them, thereby allowing alignment with the mechanical axis of the bone. A cutting block is mounted on one of the assembly frames and is positioned against the tibia. Stabilizing pins are then placed in the cutting block, allowing the proper tibial plateau resection plane to be created. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Between the base plate 11 and the instrument 1 are placed a bridge frame 12G with a supporting point P formed on its upper surface to support the instrument and a load-bearing section 12 made with elastically deformable spring material having arc-shaped legs 12A, 12B extending from the bridge frame 12G toward the direction opposite to the instrument 1, while keeping a certain separation in between. Thereby, a weight supporting part that contacts with the bottom end surface of the instrument 1 over a comparatively narrow area in a plane touch, or more preferably, in a point touch or in a line touch, and an absorbing part that absorbs vibrations transmitted from the instrument 1 are made to coexist. Making the legs 12A, 12B of the load-bearing section 12 operate as an absorbing part to absorb vibrations not only in the horizontal direction but also in the vertical direction enhances the function of the supporting element to modulate vibrations to an even greater extent. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Neural injury may be advantageously treated with CM101, a polysaccharide toxin isolated from Group B beta-hemolytic Streptococcus bacteria. CM1O1 treatment aids in the re-establishment of neuronal connectivity, at least partially inhibits scar formation, and increases the probability of survival during the critical period following injury to the central nervous system. Preexisting neural injuries having scar tissue are ameliorated by surgical excision of the scar tissue in conjunction with administration of CM101.

Abstract: A snowboard whose base is relatively thick in the mounting zones beneath each of the rider's feet and relatively thin between the two mounting zones. Thus, with normal loading applied through the rider's feet to the snowboard, the board will bow into a reasonably good approximation of an arc having a constant radius. Consequently, the portions of the snowboard coming in contact with the surface of the snow will substantially lie on segments of a circular arc, and the back half of the snowboard will substantially follow in the track of the front half of the snowboard. This is achieved by controlling the flexural rigidity in the mounting zones and in the center section between the mounting zones. The curvature of the snowboard in response to the application of forces by its rider is a function of the Area Moment of Inertia (I) of the transverse cross-sectional areas along the snowboard's length. In turn, the Area Moment of Inertia is a function of the geometry of the transverse cross-section. The invention is principally concerned, therefore, with the appropriate selection of the geometry of the transverse cross-section of the various segments of the snowboard's body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for correcting radial run-outs during the fabrication of cylindrical parts (9). The device comprises a rotating spindle (4) which can be driven and a chuck (5, 6) which is fastened to the spindle (4) and accommodates a cylindrical part (9). The invention is characterized in that the chuck (5, 6) can be transversally displaced on the spindle (4) relative to the spindle axis (3) by being actuated with a defined force. In addition, a measuring device (12) is provided in order to determine a radial run-out of the cylindrical part (9) relative to the spindle axis (3). The invention is also characterized in that a final control element (14) can be controlled according to the measurement result of the measuring device (12) in order to generate the defined force which thus displaces the chuck (5, 6) relative to the spindle (4). The device permits the middle axis (13) of a cylindrical part (9) to be centered opposite the spindle axis (3) in a fully automatic manner.

Abstract: Boundary surface (7) is formed by the upper surface of the cuvette (2) base. The cuvette has the form of a solid body, with the base accepting the assay medium. Transmitted light rays (3) are coupled in through a side wall (6) of the base, such that they reach the boundary surface (7) at the angle of total internal reflection. Preferred features: The base includes two plane opposite walls at an angle less than 90 degrees to the boundary surface. Light enters one, and after total internal reflection at the base surface, leaves by the other. The sidewalls are symmetrical about the plane of symmetry of the cuvette. The cuvette is essentially hollow cylindrical, the plane sidewalls forming angles in the cylindrical base. Open at the top, the cuvette has an upper panel forming a top section, which is inserted in a holder. The panel is rectangular, the holder fastening to the longer sides. A side edge of the panel is marked to indicate the cuvette contents. The cuvette is one-piece; a plastic injection molding. The transmitted rays (3) outside of the cuvette, run parallel to the boundary surface of the cuvette. The fluorescence rays (9) are coupled out through the underside of the cuvette base, and are led to the receiver (10). The transmitter (4) is arranged facing a sidewall (6) of the cuvette base. The transmitted rays, after leaving the cuvette (2) are led onto an optical sink (8). Mirrors with polarization filters can be arranged to send the rays repeatedly through the apparatus. The apparatus includes many cuvettes in the light paths from individual transmitters. Fluorescence rays from the individual cuvettes, are registered by a common receiver (10). Transmitters are activated individually and sequentially. The cuvette arrangement is linear. The cuvettes are alternatively arranged around a polygonal mirror taking fluorescence light to the receiver.
