Title: Lifeline health system
Inventor: GANONG DONALD DOUGLAS
IPC: A63B21/062
Filed: 1996-06-25
Abstract: In traditional exercise equipment the user applies force to the body limbs in order to extend the muscle ligaments. This type of equipment places too much strain on injured muscles to be useful to an injured person.   Lifeline is a unique rehabilitation/exercise machine and procedure that has been developed with an overhead pull to facilitate whole body movements which encourages the gentle stretching of large muscle groups. This equipment is combined with a number of unique body movements and postures which fosters increased muscle strength and tone without strenuous effort or the isolation of specific muscle groups.   Lifeline achieves its objectives through the use of a holding bar that is attached to a system of pulleys counterbalanced by a series of adjustable weights. The holding bar is designed to position the body in the correct posture, thus emphasizing the torso's major interaction with the rest of the body (no isolation moves). Located at the base of the unit is a system of rollers designed to move forward and backward with movement of the feet. As the exerciser pulls downward on the bar the forward and backward movement of the legs is commissioned at the same time.   Located at the end of the pulley system and behind the main frame is a series of adjustable weights. These weights are connected to a spring designed to compensate for the sudden pull of the bar thus removing any sudden jerking of the muscle movement. Tension of the system can be adjusted by changing the weight. Once the correct weight has been selected the user then commences exercise by pulling down on the overhead bar at the same time undertaking a forward and backward movement of the legs.   After each six second isometric contraction of the muscles, the process is repeated as the user moves from left to right leg shifting ones body weight while pulling on the overhead bar. While exercising the weights move up and down but they are not allowed to fall to the ground. There is a constant upward pull exerted on the body by the weights that acts as a form of traction on the spine and also as a reduction in strain on the person's joints. The weights counteract the person's natural body weight on their joints.

Title: Apparatus for trimming folded printed products, such as newspapers, periodicals, brochures and the like
Inventor: MEIER JACQUES
IPC: B26D11/00
Filed: 1996-07-11
Abstract: An apparatus for trimming printed prorducts.      The apparatus includes a drum with a plurality of radially displaced receiving compartments. The printed products which are to be trimmed rest, along their folded edges, against stops which form the base of the radial receiving compartments. The products are gripped by a displacement device and displaced radially outwards into a cutting position. In the cutting position, the printed products are clamped in the region of their side border located opposite the fold edge. When the clamped printed products run past a stationary cutter element, the printed products are trimmed on the side border. After completion of the cutting operation, the clamping of the printed products is released and the displacement device is moved by a further distance radially outwards. Consequently, the trimmed printed products are advanced into a removal position, in which they are gripped by grippers of a removal conveyor. The controlled advancement of the printed products both into the cutting position and into the removal position ensures that the printed products can be trimmed and received by the grippers of the removal conveyor in precisely defined positions along the printed products.

Abstract: An apparatus and process for cutting a continuous linear web of composition roofing material includes water knives that cut the web into strips.  A first linear incision is cut in the web with a water knife to cut the web into two strips having linear edges as the web as it is transported past the knife.  Adhesive is applied to a portion of one surface of one strip of the web.  The strips are then spatially aligned and laminated.  The laminated strip is then cut along a non-linear path by a water knife that is movable relative to the moving strip, and which moves through a predetermined pattern at a controlled rate.  A controller continuously determines the rate of web movement past the movable water knife, and in response to the determined rate of web movement, controls the rate at which the water knife moves relative to the strip.  The system cuts a desired serrated pattern in the laminated strips to produce two continuous laminated strips, each having one linear edge and one serrated edge.  A knife cuts the linear laminated strips into desired lengths for shingles.

Title: Enzyme gene therapy catalysing prodrug extracellular conversion
Inventor: MOORE JOHN TOMLIN
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 1995-11-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a molecular chimaera for use with a prodrug, the molecular chimaera comprising a transcriptional regulatory DNA sequence capable of being activated in a targetted mammalian cell and a DNA coding sequence operatively linked to the transcriptional regulatory DNA sequence and encoding a secretion signal peptide and a heterologous enzyme, such that on expression of said coding sequence in the targetted cell, the heterologous enzyme is capable of passing through the cell plasma membrane and is capable of catalysing extracellular conversion of the prodrug into a cytotoxic or cytostatic agent. When the molecular chimaera is used in gene or virus directed enzyme prodrug therapy the fact that enzyme is secreted so that conversion of the prodrug to the cytotoxic or cytostatic agent is extracellular increases neighbouring cell kill.
