Abstract: A rotary valve including a rotor assembly rotatable by a driver to cause material to be transferred from an inlet side to an outlet side of the rotary valve. The rotor assembly includes a rotor coupled to a shaft which rotates about an axis when driven by the driver. The rotor includes an outer tube, an inner tube, and a plurality of radial blades. The rotary valve includes a casing assembly for supporting the rotor assembly that includes an inlet for allowing the material to enter pockets of the rotor assembly and an outlet for allowing the material to exit the rotor assembly. The casing assembly includes an upper cap disposed at a top of the casing assembly that contains an opening for allowing the material to enter the pockets of the rotor assembly, a shaft opening, and a wiper assembly that removes material from the tops of the blades as the blades pass by the inlet opening. The rotary valve also includes a plurality of springs coupling a lower cap to the sleeve that serve to compress the rotor between the caps. The rotary valve includes a bearing assembly for rotatably supporting the rotor inside the casing assembly. The bearing assembly includes an upper bearing which separates the upper cap from the top of the rotor by a minimum gap, a lower bearing which separates the lower cap from the bottom of the rotor by a minimum gap, and bearing grooves in which the bearings are disposed.

Abstract: The method makes visible dust picked up by a dust extractor (2). The latter (2) has a conveyer channel (13) in which the picked up dust particles are advanced in an air stream. The conveyed dust particles are irradiated by light in an at least partly transparent section of the conveyer channel (13) to make them visible. Preferably, the dust particles are concentrated before being illuminated. The flow of the dust particle may be slowed down before they are illuminated. The movement of the visible dust particles may be projected onto a projection wall.

Abstract: The system has water and an additive for extinguishing fires, which are stored in pressurised tanks, and which are especially part of a permanently installed system. A tank (6) of the additive is arranged in a water tank (8), and a bursting diaphragm (7) is located between them. A propellant gas (20) can be fed into one or both of the tanks, and may be located in a container (1) which has shut-off taps (3,4) arranged between it and the tanks. It may also be fed directly into the additive tank, so that a diaphragm breaks and the additive mixes with the water in order to form a mixture, which is fed to the seat of the fire after the opening of a tap (9,11). The water tank may also have a connection (13) for rinsing water.

Abstract: The present invention relates to transfected primary and secondary somatic cells of vertebrate origin, particularly mammalian origin transfected with exogenous genetic material (DNA) which encodes a desired (e.g. a therapeutic) product or is itself a desired (e.g. therapeutic) product, methods by which primary and secondary cells are transfected to include exogenous genetic material, including DNA targeting by homologous recombination, methods of producing clonal cell strains or heterogenous cell strains, methods of gene therapy in which the transfected primary or secondary cells are used, and methods of producing antibodies using the transfected primary or secondary cells. The present invention includes primary and secondary somatic cells, such as fibroblasts, keratinocytes, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, glial cells, neural cells, formed elements of the blood, muscle cells, other somatic cells which can be cultured and somatic cell precursors, which have been transfected with exogenous DNA which is stably integrated into their genomes or is expressed in the cells episomally. The exogenous DNA either encodes a product, such as a translational product (e.g. a protein) or a transcriptional product (e.g. a ribozyme or an anti-sense nucleic acid sequence) which is a therapeutic product or is itself a therapeutic product (e.g. DNA which binds to a cellular regulatory protein or alters gene expression). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A support leg (1) comprises a pivotable upper part (2) and a lower part (3) that is protrudable relative to the former, said lower part having a support foot (4). On the upper leg part (2) is arranged a rod (14) being displaceable movable which at one end is connected with a flexible tractive means (11), e.g. a chain, and at the opposite end is actuatable by the support foot (4). The tractive means (11) is laid over a pulley means (20) that separates inner and outer parts (11', 11'') of the tractive means. When pushing in the lower leg part (3), the rod is carried with the same, while lengthening the inner chain part (11') at the same time as the outer part (11'') is shortened, as the support leg pivots in the direction of a raised position. When pushing out the lower leg part, the rod (14) is allowed to move in the opposite direction, while shortening the inner chain part (11') and simultaneously lengthening the outer part (11''). In this way, a pivoting of the support leg in the direction of a lowered position is made possible.

Abstract: A method for producing a dental prosthesis includes computer modeling of a three-dimensional prosthetic cap based on an human implantation zone. The method first includes casting an impression of the implantation zone of the human body. Then, on the basis of the moulded impression, a digital three-dimensional representation (R1) of the implantation zone is made by sensing the implantation zone with a sensor. From this, a digital representation (R1c) of the internal surface of the prosthesis is defined on the basis of the digital three-dimensional representation (R1) of the implantation zone. A digital three-dimensional representation (R2) of the external surface of the prosthesis is then defined on the basis of the surrounding parameters of the prosthesis and the digital three-dimensional representation (R1c). Then, a digital three-dimensional representation (R3) of the external surface of the cap is defined on the basis of the external (R2) and internal (R1c) surfaces of the prosthesis, taking into account the criteria of the mechanical and aesthetic characteristics which the cap must have. Based on this three-dimensional model, an actual prosthetic cap can be produced if the cap meets certain requirements.
