Abstract: A weld wire (62) for storage on a spool of weld wire. The weld wire (62) has a substantially linear cast in the form of an undulating curve that generally lies in a single plane. The undulating curve is a succession of generally semi-circular sections having a generally fixed radius (R) of curvature. The linear cast is formed on the weld wire (62) prior to the weld wire being wound on the spool of weld wire (62). The linear cast is at least partially retained on the weld wire (62) after the weld wire (62) is unwound from the spool and during the feeding of the weld wire (62) through a welding machine. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A device serving for sealing and inflating an inflatable object provided with an inflation valve, for example a tire. The device is of the kind that includes a pressure gas source and a container containing a sealing agent. In addition, the device includes a reversing valve for opening a first connection between the pressure gas source and the inflation valve of the object in a first position and a second connection between the pressure gas source and the container and further between this container and the inflation valve of the object in a second position. In one mode of operation, the device can be used for inflating an object having gone flat to a specified pressure, while is a second mode of operation, it can be used for sealing and inflating a punctured object. Thereby, the heavy and bulky spare wheel which drivers conventionally have in the car is rendered dispensable.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus according to the invention comprises at least a first (1.2) and a second processor (1.3), which processors are capable of communicating data to each other by exchanging tokens via a buffer according to a synchronization protocol. The protocol maintains synchronization information comprising at least a first and a second synchronization counter (writec, readc), which are readable by both processors. At least the first processor (1.2) is capable of modifying the first counter (writec), and at least the second processor (1.3) is capable of modifying the second counter (readc). The protocol comprises at least a first command (claim) which when issued by a processor results in a verification whether a requested number of tokens is available to said processor, and a second command (release) which results in updating one of the synchronization counters to indicate that tokens are released for use by the other processor. At least one of the processors (1.3) comprises a storage facility for locally storing an indication (Nc; writec', readc) of the amount of tokens available to that processor, wherein issuing the first command (claim) results in a verification of the number of tokens available to said processor on the basis of said indication. A negative outcome of the verification results in updating of this indication on the basis of at least one of the synchronization counters. Issuing the second command (release) by a processor results in updating the indication in accordance with the number of tokens released to the other processor.

Abstract: Apparatus for use as a surgical handpiece is disclosed. An exemplary apparatus includes a body, a rotatable shaft extending from the body and including a tissue contacting component such as a burr, and an outer tube connected to the body and surrounding at least a portion of the shaft. In some configurations, the minimum separation between the tissue contacting component and the outer tube is greater than the minimum separation between the shaft and the outer tube, thereby preventing the tissue contacting component from contacting the shaft upon the application of a force perpendicular to the axis of the shaft. The device may include stand-off elements positioned between the shaft and the outer tube to aid in preventing the tissue contacting component from contacting the outer tube during operation. The outer tube may be flexible with respect to the body, such as by being constructed of a relatively flexible material and/or by being flexibly connected to the body. In some embodiments, the outer tube may be more flexible than the shaft with respect to the body.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is a biodegradable polymer network and methods to make it. The polymer network consists of a cross-linked polyester resin, which is composed of hydroxy acid units, structural units derived from an unsaturated bifunctional monomer, and structural units derived from a polyol monomer. The polyester resin is produced directly by a polyoon-densation reaction, after which it is cross-linked to a polymer of high molecular weight The polyester can be co-polymerised with a co-monomer increasing flexibility, or be blended with a reactive macromonomer, which adds elasticity and crosslinking density. The prepared polymer network can be especially used to coat continuous or singular objects made of fibrous, porous, biomass based or inorganic materials, or as a blending component in these, or used to impregnate these in order to induce water durability, barrier properties, elasticity, coherence or mechanical strength.

Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for the generation of lymphocytes having a unique antigen specificity. In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides methods of virally infecting cells from bone marrow with one or more viral vectors that encode antigen-specific T cell receptors. The resulting lymphocytes, and in particular, T cells express the T cell receptor (TCR) that was introduced. The lymphocytes generated can be used for a variety of therapeutic purposes including the treatment of various cancers and the generation of a desired immune response to viruses and other pathogens. The resulting cells develop normally and respond to antigen both in vitro and in vivo. We also show that it is possible to modify the function of lymphocytes by using stem cells from different genetic backgrounds. Thus our system constitutes a powerful tool to generate desired lymphocyte populations both for research and therapy. Future applications of this technology may include treatments for infectious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, cancer therapy, allergy, and autoimmune disease.
