Abstract: A two-part surgical ligation clip includes a track having two substantially symmetrical arms and a clip for slidably receiving the track. The symmetrical arms are connected together at a proximal end to form an apex and have spaced-apart tips at a distal end with first complementary surface. The track also includes a connector connected to the apex and having a second complementary surface. The clip has an extended slot for slidably engaging the track and distal end tips for receiving the connector. A distal end of the clip has a first contour surface for engaging the first complementary surface on the track and locking it in a closed position and a second contour surface for engaging the second complementary surface on the track and locking it in an open position. A two-part ligation clip applicator, which is also disclosed, comprises a handle assembly having a squeezable trigger and an elongated shaft connected at its proximal end to the handle assembly. The elongated shaft houses a sliding advancer which is actuated by squeezing the trigger to move axially in a forward direction in the shaft. In addition, a module is mountable at a distal end of the elongated shaft and supports a ligation clip. The module has a cartridge housing, latches pivotably mounted within the housing for gripping first part of the ligation clip, and a sliding pusher slidable within the housing by actuation of the advancer to engage the second part of the ligation clip and advance it relative to the first part to close the first part.

Abstract: On utilise couramment des peptides synthétiques pour produire des anticorps. Pour induire une réaction à fort taux d'anticorps, on sait conjuguer un peptide avec une protéine de transport (par exemple KLH, BSA) ou l'incorporer à une polylysine pour former un peptide antigénique multiple. On peut y intégrer des ancrages à base d'acides gras. L'invention porte sur un nouveau système d'ancrage à base d'acide aminé lipidique qui peut renforcer au maximum l'antigénicité d'un peptide synthétique court. Ces composés nouveaux sont entièrement à base de peptides et on peut donc les produire automatiquement grâce à une synthèse peptidique par étapes, de préférence en phase solide. L'invention porte aussi sur un tel procédé.

Abstract: A stereoscopic rangefinder is disclosed for determining the distance of a target object by measuring the angle of parallax of light scattered by the target. The rangefinder includes two arrays of photosensitive elements upon each of which a distinct target image is projected. A measurement of the pixel displacement between the two target images is used in measuring the angle of parallax. A novel computational scheme is included in the rangefinder wherein it is self-correcting with regard to mechanical shock and thermal influences such that a user need only "point and shoot." Further, the rangefinder is insensitive to target image blur and is embodied as a hand held rangefinding binocular having no moving parts.

Abstract: The packing process is for groups of filled tea bags formed into a row, to be put in a box. The tea bags (1) are brought together on a plane which is horizontal or angled to the horizontal to form the row (2) of tea bags in a vertical position to form a vertical stack to be pushed into a box (19) coaxial with the stack. If the bags are assembled on an angled plane, the fixed row of bags is turned about a horizontal axis, so that the individual bags are upturned relative to the row and fixed. The turning motion may be in a backward direction. After bringing to the vertical, the row may be shaken to pack it down.

Abstract: The method involves using voltage (12) and current potential (14) transducers with respective analog to digital converters (2,1) and a microprocessor controller (9). The variation with time of the energy consumption from a rail network at, or in, a motor is evaluated and measured. If the consumption exceeds a certain threshold, the network brakes are disconnected (3), e.g. those which convert and feed vehicle kinetic energy back into network electrical energy. The energy consumption variation with time is found from the first derivative of the current fed back into the network w.r.t. time. The variation can also be found from the incremental change of current over a certain time interval.

Abstract: An improved method is provided for extruding ePTFE tube (12) for use in medical applications. A tube (12) of PTFE is extruded, preferably in an extrusion process, using counter-rotated die components (22, 26). The die component (16) is maintained at a constant temperature during processing. The resulting green tube (12) has enhanced fibrous state formation in a direction perpendicular to the direction of extrusion. The PTFE green tube (12) is then subjected to secondary operations such as stretching and expansion to yield medical product. The ePTFE tube (12) structure is defined by nodes interconnected by elongate fibrils. Both the nodes and fibrils are substantially randomly tilted with respect to the longitudinal axis of the tube (12). This particular structure yields a tube (12) which exhibits a high degree of radial tear strength useful in medical applications.

Abstract: Boron containing compounds are targeted to hormonally responsive cells by contacting the cells with a conjugate of a boron containing moiety conjugated to a ligand having binding specificity for an intracellular receptor of the cell. The conjugates are useful for imaging or killing hormonally responsive cells, such as hormonally responsive tumor cells. For target cell killing, the cells are contacted with a 10B containing moiety conjugated to a ligand having binding specificity for an intracellular hormone receptor of the cells. The 10B containing moiety becomes associated with the hormone receptor of the cells, which may then be irradiated with neutrons to kill the cells by boron neutron capture. For target cell imaging, the cells are contacted with a 11B containing moiety conjugated to a ligand having binding specificity for an intracellular hormone receptor of the cells, and the boron that becomes associated with the hormone receptor of the cells may then be imaged using magnetic resonance imaging techniques.
