Abstract: Disclosed is a method of determining the presence and activity of interferon inhibitors in a test sample, preferably human blood serum. The method includes the steps of culturing cells which express an interferon-inducible antigen in the presence of an interferon and then adding an aliquot of the cultured cells to a test sample and to a control sample. The expression of the interferon-inducible antigen is then measured in both the test sample and in the control sample and these two values compared to determine the presence and activity of interferon inhibitors in the test sample.

Abstract: A feeding device (1) is intended for use for feeding piglets. The feeding device comprises a pivotally pipe (2) mounted on a frame in a position below a hopper (10). A control bar (15) extends through the hopper (10) and the pipe (2) and is fastened to the lower end of the pipe by means of a fitting (25). The control bar (15) is made of an elastically flexible material and may be displaced in a slide bushing (16) in order to adjust the elastic flexibility by adjusting the length of the free section (33) of the bar (15). The pipe (2) may thus be deflected when animals push to the lower end in order to eat fodder on a fodder plate (4). Subsequent to a deflection the pipe will take its neutral starting position. By suitable dimensioning of the bar (15) an elastic flexibility is achieved in an easy and simple way, whereby the feeding device may be adjusted to animals of different sizes and especially to piglets.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and an apparatus for the application of a marking (1) on a road surface (2), said apparatus comprising a vehicle which moves the apparatus over the surface (2). The marking material (3) is led from a supply container (4) to a distribution chamber (6) which, via a shutter (11), under slight pressure presses a band (12) of the marking material (3) out through an opening (14). The band of material (12) is led out towards a rotating axle (7) with blades (9). The material (3) in the band of material (12) is hereby divided into equal part elements (13) without the blades (9) touching the chamber (6) or any other parts of the apparatus. The influence of wear on the apparatus is hereby considerably reduced, even when use is made of material (3) containing abrasive additives. The part elements (13) are thrown to the rear and down against the surface (2) by the blades (9), where the material which is viscous at the moment of application stiffens in the form of elements (13) which constitute the finished marking (1).

Abstract: A textile yarn slashing system having a foam applicator disposed therein for pre-wetting the sheet of yarns prior to passing through the size box. The foam is delivered under pressure and a resilient hold down member opposes the slot to create a space for foam on the opposite side of the yarn sheet from the slot for application of foam to both sides of the yarn sheet. A flexible cover sheet covers the surface of the hold down member and is shifted to replace a worn portion with an unworn portion opposite the slot. A valve assembly is incorporated in the applicator to close off the passage to the slot and permit bypass flow of the foam. End seal blocks have rigid metallic outer chamber engaging surfaces and resilient material interior of the surfaces to press the surfaces against the sides of the chamber adjacent the slot. A plurality of horizontal tubes may be used as an alternate to the slot with one or more yarns traveling through each tube. <IMAGE>
