Abstract: The present invention is directed to a family of motoneuronotrophic factors including MNTF1 and MNTF2, which have been shown to have diagnostic and therapeutic applications in mammals. The present invention is also directed to novel DNA sequences which encode motoneuronotrophic factors, including recombinant human MNTF1-F3 [SEQ ID NO:1] and MNTF1-F6 [SEQ ID NO:2], to vectors which contain these novel DNA sequences, to expression systems and associated hosts which contain these novel DNA sequences, and the novel recombinant human MNTF1-F3 [SEQ ID NO:3] and MNTF1-F6 [SEQ ID NO:4] proteins which are produced by the aforementioned expression systems. The present invention is also directed to the use of motoneuronotrophic factors for promoting axonal regeneration, for inhibiting the effects of hereditary motoneuron disease, for minimizing or inhibiting the effects of scar tissue formation, and for accelerating wound healing while concomitantly minimizing or inhibiting the effects of scar tissue and keloid formation.

IPC: D21G9/00
Filed: 1997-12-19
Abstract: In order to produce paper from fibrous material, a prepared substance is conveyed to a paper machine (15) with a head box. The substance can contain, for example, a mixture of different recycling paper types with cellulose. In accordance with the invention, at at least one point on the prepared substance and/or the paper (200), continuous spectra of electromagnetic radiation and/or continuous spectra of mechanical properties are measured on the substance (A, B, C, D) and/or paper (E, F). Characteristic quantities are derived from these spectra and fed into a state model, from whence a process model is, in addition, derived with the process qualities. In certain cases, discrete physical and/or chemical properties are also used to form the model. The state model and/or process model are used for conducting and optimising the process.

Abstract: The unit has a revolving folder (10) with moveable elements, e.g. folders, pressure elements, rams, slides, etc. When a mis-function or mis-positioning of a moveable element occurs, mechanical feelers, esp. feeler lugs (29,30,31) are charged by the continuing movement of revolving folder and generate a fault signal due to relative movements. The relative movement of the feelers is transmitted via mechanical control elements to sensors, esp. contact-free parts, e.g. initiators (44,45,46). The feelers are located in an encapsulated area, esp. one containing oil.

Abstract: A satellite communications system 34 36 10 where a
communications satellite 10 provides a plurality of spot beams
30, controlled by an earth station 36, to communicate with user
terminals 34 on the surface of the earth 14, has the earth
station 36 divide its part of the surface of the earth into
zones 38, the earth station 36 logging the calls from each zone
38 and establishing if call congestion is occurring in any zone
38, or for other reasons. When congestion occurs, the earth
station 36 builds a map of the congested (or busiest) zones and
issues to each user terminal 34 information relating to a point
40 near the centre of each cluster of congested or busiest
zones 38, together with a radius 42 around each point. The
position of the user terminal 34 is known by each user terminal
34. Each user terminal 34 calculates if it is inside or outside
a circle 42. If inside, and a service level indicator, provided
by the earth station 36, exceeds that allocated to the user
terminal 34, the user terminal 34 shuts down until it receives
a service level indicator allowing it to function. The earth
station 36 continually adjusts the service level indicator to
keep the congestion situation just suppressed.

Abstract: A binder resin as the main component of the toner has
a low molecular weight polypropylene as a separating agent,
encapsulated therein. Using this binder a toner with the wax
having a diameter of 0.3 µm or less dispersed therein is
produced. The wax is included 0.5 part to 5 parts by weight

of the toner prevents the setoff phenomenon during the fixing
process and at the same time prevents the filming phenomenon
over the photoreceptor and achieves an improved fixing
performance.

IPC: B60T1/00
Filed: 1998-08-06
Abstract: The control lever (1), freely mobile between the notched positions (R,N,) required when driving, enters an end notch (P) to immobilise the vehicle when left parked. The control unit (K) of a solenoid (19), mounted on the control lever case (4), receives input from control lever (24) and brake pedal (25) position sensors and a vehicle speed sensor (21), and energises the solenoid at speeds below e.g. 2 km/h. This retracts the solenoid plunger (17), which normally limits the travel of an operating arm (5) fixed on the transverse lever shaft, freeing the lever to enter the P notch and the arm to compress an actuating spring. The latter engages a pivoted spur in a toothed wheel in the transmission train as soon as alignment permits. The arm, retained by the released plunger, is freed only if the sensors confirm the lever position and the depression of the brake pedal. Optionally, the plunger acts on the spur support plate.

Abstract: A current interrupt mechanism for electrochemical cells is disclosed. A thermally activated current interrupt mechanism (38) is integrated into an end cap assembly (10) for an electromechanical cell. The thermally responsive mechanism (38) preferably includes a free floating bimetallic disk (40) or shape memory alloy member which deforms when exposed to elevated temperature causing a break in an electrical pathway within the end cap assembly. This prevents current from flowing through the cell and effectively shuts down an operating cell. The end cap assembly may include a pressure responsive mechanism (48) which ruptures when there is extreme gas pressure build-up. Gas is allowed to escape from the cell interior to the external environment through a series of vent apertures (63, 67) within the end cap assembly.
