Title: Safety syringe
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 1992-12-22
Abstract: A hypodermic syringe (1) is provided having a barrel (5) with a movable
plunger (7) therein to inject a fluid through a hollow needle thereof which is
housed within a passageway of a needle assembly that is attached to the barrel
by ultrasonic welding means or other permanent attaching means. Positioned
between sacrifical supports (31) in the needle assembly and the barrel is a
deformable base (11). The deformable base houses an enlarged head (13) of
the needle which is in contact with energy storage means (21) within the
passageway of the needle assembly. The plunger has a rupturable boot (43)
thereon which, upon completion of an injection, contacts a deformable base
forcing it downward and severing a sacrificial support means within the needle
assembly thereby permitting the base to move the enlarged head of the needle
downward, until it is blocked by the passageway. Further movement of the
base forces the enlarged needle head from the base and into contact with the
rupturable boot.

Abstract: A sheet discharging apparatus (10) includes a
conveyor (12) provided at one side of the body of the
apparatus, and sorter trays (7) and a large capacity tray
(8) provided on the opposing side. Wings (15) are provided
each rotatable about a rotation axis, on a discharging
side of the conveyor (12), and a projection (15c) is
formed in the front side in the sheet conveying direction
of each wing (15). The projection (15c) is brought into
contact with an urging member (18) provided at a frame of
the container (17) which is movable in upward/downward
directions. When sorter trays (7) are used, the urging
member (18) is separate from the projection (15c), so that
upper surface of the wing (15) is below a conveying
surface. When the frame (17) and urging member are
elevated to use the large capacity tray (8), the urging
member (18) presses the projection upward (15c), and hence
wings (15) are elevated to be positioned upper than the
conveying surface. When a thick sheet is to be discharged,
an operation lever (16) is operated so as to retract the
projection (15c), preventing contact between the urging
member (18) and a projection (15c). Therefore, the wings
(15) are not elevated. Accordingly, the wings (15) can be
raised/lowered without any electric mechanism, and a sheet
discharging apparatus (10) is provided which enables sure 
discharge and stacking of sheets on the large capacity
tray, regardless of the thickness of the sheets.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating neoplastic conditions by
viral-based therapy are provided. Mutant virus lacking viral
proteins which bind and/or inactivate  p53  or  RB  are
administered to a patient having a neoplasm which comprises
cells lacking  p53  and/or  RB  function. The mutant virus is
able to substantially produce a replication phenotype in
neoplastic cells but is substantially unable to produce a
replication phenotype in non-replicating, non-neoplastic cells
having essentially normal  p53  and/or  RB  function. The
preferential generation of replication phenotype in neoplastic
cells results in a preferential killing of the neoplastic
cells, either directly or by expression of a cytotoxic gene in
cells expressing a viral replication phenotype.

Abstract: A method of maintaining mutual consistency between copies of
data stored at nodes in a network, the nodes comprising a server node,
and a number of client nodes at remote locations, such as laptop
computers linked by cellular telephone connections, the nodes being
connected intermittently. 
     Following a reconnection between the remote client node and
another of the nodes, timestamp information on objects cached at the
other node, is sent to the remote client node. At the remote client node,
the timestamp information is compared with corresponding information
relating to the local copy, to determine if each of the cached objects is
more up to date than the local copy. The cached objects are updated
based on the local copy, according to the result of the comparison. This
peer to peer resynchronisation means that the server need not monitor
and control the process, so the system is more easily scaled up to handle
more clients.

IPC: B65G47/31
Filed: 1998-04-08
Abstract: A method of compacting pieces of timber on a cross-conveyor
(2), such as a chain conveyor, that lacks timber pushing or
dogging means, where the timber pieces lie in mutual
abutment at the conveyor infeed end (10) to form a layer
(11) of timber pieces. 
     The invention is characterized by accelerating the timber
pieces one by one at the conveyor infeed end (10) by means
of a first accelerator conveyor (12) which travels faster
than the cross-conveyor (2) and the outfeed end of which is
located at a level above the level (13) of the cross-conveyor
(2), wherein this difference in level exceeds the
thickness of the timber pieces concerned. A down-pusher (14)
located at the outfeed end of the accelerator conveyor (12)
is caused to push the timber pieces down against the
accelerator conveyor (12), thereby causing mutually adjacent
timber pieces on the cross-conveyor (2) to overlap one
another. 
     The invention also relates to apparatus.
