Abstract: The present invention relates to (with reference to FIG. 1 ) apparatus ( 1 ) for applying traction to a human body. The apparatus ( 1 ) comprises a first body support ( 2 ) for supporting a user's upper back and a head rest ( 3 ) located on top of the upper surface ( 7 ) of the first body support ( 2 ) and slidable along the upper surface ( 7 ). The apparatus has means for causing the head rest to slide along the upper surface ( 7 ) of the first body support. The sliding of the head rest ( 3 ) along the upper surface ( 7 ) to move the supported head from the torso and thereby applies traction to the human body. Additionally or alternatively a pair of shoulder rests ( 4 ) can be provided which when slid across the upper surface ( 7 ) provide traction across a user's shoulders. Preferably, the body support ( 2 ), the head rest ( 3 ) and the shoulder rests ( 4 ) all comprise inflatable bladders and the traction is applied to the user's body by inflating the bladders.

Abstract: The use of a human food composition (A) containing less than 1600 picomoles per g of polyamines (I) is claimed in the production of a therapeutic food for combating syndromes or disorders involving the NR2-N subunit of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. ACTIVITY : Analgesic; Vasotropic; Neuroprotective; Nootropic; Antiparkinsonian; Anticonvulsant; Virucide; Antimanic; Antidepressant; Neuroleptic; Antiaddictive; Auditory. In tests in rats fed (a) a solid diet with a very low polyamine (I) content of less than 10 mu g/kg or (b) the same diet supplemented with the polyamines putrescine (54 mg/kg), spermine (7 mg/kg) and spermidine (7 mg/kg) (i.e. the levels present in normal rodent feed), the sensitivity to pain caused by two injections (7 days apart) of carrageenan into the paw was measured by the Randall-Selitto test. The level of pain in the days following the second injection was markedly lower in group (a) than that in group (b), demonstrating that the low-(I) diet in group (a) reduced the sensitivity to pain. The levels of pain in the days following the first injection were not significantly different, demonstrating the low-(I) diet had no direct analgesic effect.

Abstract: The automatic double waffle stamping machine, to cut and stamp waffles, has an alternating action between the two workstations. The waffles are placed at a stacking station (A) to be transferred in layers to a feed point (B) to be taken separately on a pressure plate into one of the workstations (C). The pressure plate is raised to press the waffle against a die, with vacuum to hold it in place while the plate is lowered to be cleaned by compressed air. The die (W1) with the stamped waffle moves into the packing station (D1) where the waffle is pushed clear to drop into an open carton (E1). The other die (W2) at the second workstation stamps a waffle while the first station is delivering its load with the same sequence as the first so that they are working alternately.
