Abstract: Une prothèse endoluminale est réalisée de manière modulaire avec une colonne allongée et une pluralité de modules constituant un tube, fixés à la colonne pour constituer un ensemble séquencé longitudinalement. Chaque module définit, en coopération avec la colonne, une structure d'anneau fermé, les modules étant alignés pour constituer un ensemble tubulaire ayant la forme générale d'une cage. Chacun des modules peut se dilater radialement depuis un diamètre diminué, à une configuration à faible encombrement dans laquelle il peut facilement être glissé dans les passages du corps, jusqu'à un diamètre dilaté venant en contact avec la surface interne de la lumière du corps. La prothèse, étant de conception modulaire, peut être réalisée suivant des spécifications particulières pour une procédure particulière chez un patient particulier. Les modules sont formés à partir d'un fil métallique ayant une configuration de serpentin plat qui est enveloppé dans une configuration cylindrique avec ses extrémités libres reliées à la colonne. Les modules sont dilatables, par exemple par un ballon, de la configuration à faible encombrement vers une configuration dilatée. Durant l'expansion, les modules peuvent frotter contre la surface interne de la lumière pour arrondir les pointes ou les bords aigus. La colonne de la prothèse a une masse sensiblement plus importante que celle des modules individuels, de sorte que la colonne peut facilement être observée aux rayons X ou par fluoroscopie. La construction modulaire permet une large gamme de variations des caractéristiques de la colonne, en particulier et entre autres, la flexibilité longitudinale et l'expansion radiale.

Abstract: A diffraction grating light valve modulates an incident beam of light. A plurality of elongated elements each have a reflective surface. The elongated elements are suspended with their respective ends substantially coplanar. Alternate ones of the elongated elements are electrically coupled for receiving a first bias voltage. The interdigitated elongated elements are electrically coupled for receiving a second bias voltage. By applying a appropriate first and second biasing voltages, all the reflective surfaces can be maintained in a first plane. When all the elongated elements are in the first plane, the diffraction grating light valve reflects the beam of light. A predetermined group of the elongated elements, preferably alternate ones, are deformable to be substantially coplanar in a second plane which is parallel to the first plane. When the predetermined group of elements is in the second plane, the diffraction grating light valve diffracts the beam of light.

Abstract: A support assembly for holding a chicken or the like for cooking, comprising a support member 11 arranged to extend into the body cavity of the chicken through the posterior end of the chicken cut away during butchering and lie against the backbone region 35. A trussing member 15 extends from the support member 11 at a position proximal to where the posterior end of the chicken locates, and provides a surface on which the drumsticks/legs of the chicken may locate in crossed configuration. At the end of the trussing member 15, located away from the support member 11 is a second support member 19 which is also arranged to extend into the body cavity of the chicken through the posterior end of the chicken cut away during butchering and lie against the keel region 33. The support assembly may be provided with fittings to allow retrofitting to existing cooking trays, or may be welded directly to purpose built racks. The support assembly holds the drumsticks/legs adjacent to the posterior end of the chicken cut away during butchering thereby minimising spillage of any savoury stuffing, and also holds the drumsticks/legs against the body, to minimise the drumsticks/legs becoming overcooked and dried out while the breast meat attains optimal cooking. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The unit includes a driven bottom roll (11) and a freely rotatable top roll (18) which is liftable and lowerable by means of a double-action hydraulic cylinder (19). The chamber (26) of this cylinder is permanently subjected to a predetermined pressure. The pressure in the chamber (31) of the cylinder is the exit pressure of a controllable pressure reduction valve (33). By alteration of the control pressure, this exit pressure can be increased and decreased dependent on a phase of the operating cycle (i. e. dependent on whether the strip is to be clamped or to be released for adjustment). The minimum pressure in the chamber (31) is determined by a formula involving parameters of the cylinder-piston assembly and the pressure maintained in the chamber (26). The control valve (33), whose outlet (37) is connected to the pressure inlet (39) of the chamber (31) of the cylinder (19), is designed as a pressure reduction valve. The outlet pressure from this valve is determined by the force exerted by a spring (42). In an alternative variant of the invention, this spring is adjustable by means of an electrically controlled drive. In such a case an electronic or electromechanical sensor is provided for monitoring the outlet pressure.

Abstract: A method of and apparatus for torque magnetometry is disclosed. A specimen (2), the magnetic moment of which it is desired to determine, is disposed on a support means. A temporally varying, for example sinusoidal, magnetic field Bext is generated in the region of the specimen so that interaction between the magnetic moment M of the specimen and the magnetic field causes a torque to be exerted on the specimen. Consequently the specimen and/or the support are deflected, typically a vibratory motion is set up. Means are provided to measure the motion of the specimen and/or support due to the torque. When the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field are known, the magnetic moment of the specimen can be determined from the results of the motion measurement. The frequency of the magnetic field can be adjusted so that the specimen and/or the support resonate. The support is typically a single silicon crystal having two orthogonal modes of vibration which have different resonant frequencies. This can facilitate the independent determination of the three orthogonal components of the magnetic moment of the specimen.

Abstract: Polypeptides are expressed by the pituitary-tumor-transforming-gene (PTTG), formerly known as pituitary-tumor-specific-gene (PTTG), and nucleic acids encode them. Examples are the human and rat PTTG proteins. The nucleic acids may be applied to the production of a recombinant protein, and to the detection of the presence of PTTG genes in different species. The nucleic acids may be operatively linked to a vector, optionally provided with control and expression sequences and/or being carried by a host cell. The nucleic acids may also be delivered to a mammal to compensate for the absence, or a defective expression, of endogenous protein. The nucleic acids, proteins, and antibodies are also employed in disgnostic assays, as well as, for example, in the production of anti-PTTG antibodies (protein), therapeutic compositions and other applications of the proteins and antibodies. Various kits utilize nucleic acids, polypeptides, and/or antibodies. A transgenic non-human mammal expresses PTTG.
