Abstract: A structural module comprises a rigid cell including two substantially parallel planar members, each of which defines an ordered array of circular apertures with a series of columns disposed substantially normally to the two parallel surfaces retaining the two members in a fixed spaced relationship from each other. Male interlocking means which are integral with the module project from two adjacent side edges of the module. Female interlocking means are defined the other two adjacent side edges. The modules can be secured together in side edge to side edge relation, in which relationship the male locking means from a first module engage in a female locking means of a second module. The circular shape of the perimeter of the male locking member matches the size and shape of the apertures so that one module may also be inter-engaged with a second module with each male locking member of the one module projecting into one of the apertures of the second module in an interference type fit, with the first module oriented generally normally to the second module.

Abstract: This invention provides a concise, asymmetric synthesis of piperazic acid and derivatives thereof, whereby either the (3S)- or (3R)-enantiomeric form may be obtained with high optical purity. (3S)-piperazic acid is derived from D-glutamic acid through an (R)-2,5-dihydroxyvalerate ester intermediate. After the hydroxy groups are converted to suitable leaving groups, such as mesylates, the ester is treated with a bis-protected hydrazine to provide the desired (3S)-piperazic acid derivative. The (3R) enantiomer of piperazic acid may be similarly obtained starting with L-glutamic acid. The method may also be used to obtain piperazic acid derivatives that have moderate optical purity or are racemic. By this method, piperazic acid derivatives may be obtained that are useful as intermediates for pharmacologically active compounds. For example, certain intermediates of this invention are useful for preparing caspase inhibitors, particularly inhibitors of ICE, through additional steps known in the art.</PTEXT>

Abstract: An insert element (8) for sealing cavities (6, 7) in vehicle body carriers (4) has sealing means constituted by a foamable material (11) which is secured in the cavities (6, 7) by securing means (9). The insert element (8) comprises a foamable material (11) and a support structure (10) which comprises a frame (13) and an inner part (14) for carrying the foamable material (11). The frame (13) has at least two lateral and not immediately oppositely arranged support faces (12), and carries securing means (9). With this arrangement, the foamable material can completely engulf the securing means (9) with foam during the foaming process and can flow into apertures of an intermediate metal sheet (5) foreseen for receiving the securing means (9). This ensures that these apertures are impermeably sealed against air and noise during the foaming process. The foamable material is preferably constituted of a thermoplastic polymer which can form a closed-celled foam, thus increasing the noise insulating and noise absorbing properties, whilst also acting as a moisture barrier and an airtight sealant.

Abstract: A post-shaped element for determining the spatial position of an implant (10), or the opening cross-section of an artificial indentation located in a tooth or in the stroma of a human or animal body, relative to the tissue structures surrounding it, can be introduced with a receiving section (26A) into an adapted receiving recess (10) in the implant (1) or in the artificial indentation, be affixed therein to be torsion resistant and able to again be removed there-from. In a connecting position the post-shaped element protrudes with a cantilever section (26K) beyond the opening cross-section of the receiving recess (10) or artificial indentation. To be able to easily remove the post-shaped element embedded in the impression mass, even in the case of a slanted position of the implant (1) or the longitudinal axis of the artificial indentation in relation to the surrounding tissue structures, it is suggested to ensure that the post-shaped element consists of a bottom portion (24), which can be torsion-resistantly fixated in the receiving recess (10) or the artificial indentation, and a top portion (25), which can be inserted torsion-resistantly in the bottom portion (24) or placed on said portion, wherein the top portion (25), proceeding from the connecting position of the post-shaped element, can be removed in a linear fashion from the bottom portion (24) in various directions.

Abstract: A light emitting element (601) irradiates light upon a surface area of an intermediate transfer belt which is wound around a roller (43), i.e., upon a wind area (41a), and light receiving units (670p, 670s) receive light reflected at the wind area (41a). Based on a signal outputted from a sensor 6, the quantity of toner is measured. In the wind area (41a), the intermediate transfer belt 41 does not flap in a direction which is approximately perpendicular to a direction in which the belt travels. This suppresses a change in distance (sensing distance) between the sensor 6 and the intermediate transfer belt 41. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An instrument (2) for arthroscopic suture passing having a shaft (4) with a proximal end and a distal end. A jaw (8) disposed on the distal end has a needle (16) and a hook. The jaw opens and closes with respect to a stationary distal tip of the instrument. A handle (6) disposed on the proximal end manipulates the jaw. A movable suture shuttle is disposed in the distal tip of the instrument. Arthroscopic suture passing takes place by initially loading a length of suture into the suture shuttle, and capturing the suture by moving the suture shuttle away from a position in which it would engage the needle and hook. The needle then is advanced through tissue using the handle to close the jaw against the stationery tip. The suture shuttle then is advanced to load the suture onto the hook. Opening the jaw draws the needle back through the tissue, pulling the suture in a loop through the tissue. A spring arm urges tissue off of the needle. The loop of suture then is available for further suturing or knot tying. <IMAGE>
