Abstract: A cylindrical shaped mandrel is used as a support inside the sleeve of tubular knit fabric, for maintaining the cylindrical shape of the fabric during extraction and compacting processes. Encasing the fabric and the mandrel is a larger diameter cylindrical ring member which presses the fabric against the mandrel in order to perform the extraction and compaction processes. The ring member extends for some distance in the longitudinal direction of travel of the knit fabric and contains a mechanism, such as a detent, for retaining the mandrel in place. A rope of tubular fabric is conveyed into the mandrel/ring assembly by an endless conveyor or belt made from a flexible material such as rubber. As the fabric is fed onto the mandrel, the belt forms a cylindrical sleeve around the fabric and the mandrel and is compressed by the cylindrical ring.

Abstract: A trench sheeting device consists of trench sheeting boxes which are each made up of two trench plates supported against each other, the width of the trench apart, and at least one shaft sheeting box whose width exceeds that of the trench. The shaft sheeting box can therefore essentially be introduced into the ground with standard trench plates and with essentially the same elements as a plate of that type, that is, practically in one piece. To this end, the shaft sheeting box consists of a trench plate on each longitudinal shaft wall and shaft plates which are arranged at the longitudinal ends of the trench plates connected to the adjoining trench sheeting boxes, in such a way that they cannot move. The shaft plates are therefore positioned cross-wise to the longitudinal direction of the trench and the trench plates and are relatively narrow compared to the trench plates.

Abstract: The present invention concerns materials and methods relating to the expression of genes. In particular, it relates to the expression of multiple gene products as a single cistron. The invention is achieved by constructing a nucleic acid construct comprising a first sequence encoding a first polypeptide (such as a protein subunit) and a second sequence encoding a second polypeptide (a further protein subunit), said first and second sequences being separated by a linker sequence encoding an endoprotease cleavage site. Once expressed as a single fusion protein it can be cleaved and processed into its constituent, biologically active, first and second polypeptides. The invention has particular implications with regard to expression of proteins that have multiple subunits (e.g. IL-12) that require expression of the independent subunits at equimolar amounts.
