Abstract: An apparatus for checking the diameter and the roundness of pins, for example crankpins and main journals of a crankshaft rotating about its main axis of rotation ( 8 ), includes a measuring device, coupled to a Vee-shaped reference device ( 20 ) and including a feeler ( 17 ) axially movable along the bisecting line of the Vee, or a direction slightly sloping with respect to it, and a movable support device for the reference Vee. The support device includes a support element ( 5 ) and a coupling mechanism that carries the reference Vee ( 20 ). The coupling mechanism includes, for example, two support sections (e.g. parallelogram structures) in series and enables plain translation displacements of the reference Vee. While checking an orbitally rotating crankpin, the Vee-shaped device maintains proper contact with the surface of the pin by virtue of the force of gravity, and the angular arrangement of the direction along which the feeler ( 17 ) moves remains substantially unchanged.

Abstract: The ability to design and construct solid-state materials with pre-determined structures is a grand challenge in chemistry. An inventive strategy based on reticulating metal ions and organic carboxylate links into extended networks has been advanced to a point that has allowed the design of porous structures in which pore size and functionality can be varied systematically. MOF-5, a prototype of a new class of porous materials and one that is constructed from octahedral Zn-O-C clusters and benzene links, was used to demonstrate that its 3-D porous system can be functionalized with the organic groups, -Br, -NH2, -OC<SUB>3</SUB>H<SUB>7</SUB>, -OC<SUB>5</SUB>H<SUB>11</SUB>, -H<SUB>4</SUB>C<SUB>2</SUB>, and -H<SUB>4</SUB>C<SUB>4</SUB>, and its pore size expanded with the long molecular struts biphenyl, tetrahydropyrene, pyrene, and terphenyl. The ability to direct the formation of the octahedral clusters in the presence of a desired carboxylate link is an essential feature of this strategy, which resulted in the design of an isoreticular (having the same framework topology) series of sixteen well-defined materials whose crystals have open space representing up to 91.1% of the crystal volume, and homogeneous periodic pores that can be incrementally varied from 3.8 to 28.8 angstroms. Unlike the unpredictable nature of zeolite and other molecular sieve syntheses, the deliberate control exercised at the molecular level in the design of these crystals is expected to have tremendous implications on materials properties and future technologies. Indeed, data indicate that members of this series represent the first monocrystalline mesoporous organic/inorganic frameworks, and exhibit the highest capacity for methane storage (155 cm<SUP>3</SUP>/cm<SUP>3 </SUP>at 36 atm) and the lowest densities (0.41 to 0.21 g/cm<SUP>3</SUP>) attained to date for any crystalline material at room temperature.

Abstract: A means for joining together modular pipes is devised without it being necessary to have supplementary gaskets made of synthetic material; this is achieved by using a metal-to-metal attachment that keeps the modules together by applying a slight pressure at the beginning of the process. <??>With a view to achieving this, one of the modules is non-cylindrical in shape, and its diameter varies gradually and slightly along its length, this variation being with respect to the end of the contiguous model, which is provided with one or more annular protrusions with arched, polygonal or mixed sections, so that they can be arranged tangentially and in peripheral contact with the wall of the module to which they are joined. <??>The "male" end (2) can have more than one annular protrusion (4, 4') that comes simultaneously into contact with the "female" end (1), which is equipped with one or more conical sections with a straight or curved line (3, 3'), for fitting in with the respective annular protrusions (4, 4'). The same level of functionality is achieved if it is the "female" end (1) that is provided with the annular protrusions (4, 4') and the "male" end (2) that provides the fitting sections (6, 6') with a straight or curved line. <??>It has also been envisaged that not only the "male" end (9) but also the "female" end (8) of the attachment, are provided with one or more annular protrusions (4, 4') that act reciprocally, and which come into contact with the attachment sections (10, 10') and (11, 11'), respectively. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention describes clinically and medically important methods of monitoring the outcome of a cancer patient who is suffering from disease or who is undergoing treatment or therapy for his or her disease. More specifically, the invention provides a method of monitoring the progression of disease or cancer treatment effectiveness in a cancer patient by measuring the level of the extracellular domain (ECD) of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in a sample taken from the cancer patient, preferably, before treatment, at the start of treatment, and at various time intervals during treatment, wherein a decrease in the level of the ECD of the EGFR in the cancer patient compared with the level of the ECD of the EGFR in normal control individuals serves as an indicator of cancer advancement or progression and/or a lack of treatment effectiveness for the patient. As another aspect of determining disease outcome and survival, the invention further provides assessing both EGFR and HER-2/neu levels, in combination, in a patient sample. A finding of decreased levels of EGFR concomitantly with elevated or increased levels of HER-2/neu relative to control levels indicates poor outcome and short time to progression.
