Title: Cylinder lock with a cylinder housing and flange key for a cylinder lock
Inventor: PRUNBAUER KURT
IPC: E05B27/00
Filed: 2002-01-23
Granted: 2004-11-18
Abstract: A cylinder lock with a cylinder casing 1 and a rotatable cylinder core 2 comprises: a key channel 4 for receiving a flat key 5; followers [25, figure 1] for control faces on the key; locking parts which allow or prevent rotation of the cylinder core 2; and a slidable catch bar 26 located within the cylinder core 2 in a plane across the longitudinal centre plane [7, figure 1] of the cylinder lock. The catch bar 26 comprises a locking arm 27 positioned over the key channel and is movable by the edge of the key 5 and by the spring force 35 between locked and unlocked positions. When the key is only partially inserted in the key channel, a locking flank 30 on the key holds the locking arm in a locking recess 28 in the cylinder casing, thus preventing rotation of the core 2. When the key is fully inserted, as shown in figure 2, the locking arm is positioned opposite a free recess 29 on the key. Upon rotation of the key the locking arm 27 can enter the key recess 29. When the key is rotated, the recess 29 retains the key such that the key cannot be removed [figure 3].

Filed: 2002-05-31
Granted: 2007-08-23
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method for the generation of a substantially homogeneous population of undifferentiated cells. More particularly, the present invention relates to the purification of a substantially homogeneous population of stem cells and their progenitor or precursor cells. Even more particularly, the present invention provides a population of neural stem cells (NSCs). The subject invention is particularly directed to NSCs and precursor cells with the capacity to differentiate into cells and cell lineages required for the development, maintenance or repair of the central nervous system in an animal such as a mammal. The present invention is further directed to NSCs and progenitor and/or precursor cells which are capable of proliferation and differentiation into multiple cell lineages, such as but not limited to neurons, oligodendrocytes, glia and astrocytes. The subject invention further contemplates the use of NSCs and/or precursor cells for the repair or regeneration of tissue, such as tissue associated with the central nervous system, in an animal including a mammal. The NSCs of the present invention may be used to identify naturally occurring molecules such as cytokines as well as molecules obtained from natural product screening or screening of chemical libraries which induce proliferation of the NSCs. Such molecules are useful in the development of therapeutics.
