Abstract: An electrical crimp connector comprises a metallic crimp barrel adapted to receive the bared end portion of an electrical conductor and a heat-shrinkable polymeric sleeve in which the crimp barrel is received. The insulating sleeve is comprised of an ionic polymer derived from the polymerization of an  alpha -olefin and an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid , a proportion of whose acid groups have been reacted to create ionic carboxylates of metal ions. The ionic polymer sleeve has high impact toughness, high abrasion and chemical resistance, high resistance to splitting by crimping tools, high degrees of flexibility and transparency, and a relatively low heat shrink temperature, making it more suitable for use in such connectors than sleeves comprised of other materials such as polyamides or polyolefins. <IMAGE>

Abstract: CD44, the receptor for hyaluronic acid, has complex functions in cellular physiology, cell migration and tumour metastasis. The inventors have previously found that human CD44 receptor overexpression in mouse fibrosarcoma cells inhibits subcutaneous tumour growth in mice [Kogerman et al., Oncogene 1997; 15:1407-16; Kogerman et al., Clin Exp Metastasis 1998; 16:83-93]. Here it is demonstrated that a tumour growth inhibitory effect of CD44 is caused by block of angiogenesis. Furthermore, the inventors have found that soluble recombinant CD44 hyaluronic acid binding domain (CD44HABD) inhibits angiogenesis in vivo in cLick and mouse and thereby inhibits human tumour growth of various origins. The anti-angiogenic effect of CD44-HABD is independent of hyaluronic acid (HA) binding, since non-HA-binding mutants of CD44HABD still maintain anti-angiogenic properties. The invention discloses soluble CD44 recombinant proteins as a novel class of angiogenesis inhibitors based on targeting of vascular cell surface receptor. A method of block of angiogenesis and treatment of human tumours using recombinant CD44 proteins as well as their analogues is disclosed. As a further embodiment of the invention, methods for screening for new drug targets using CD44 recombinant proteins and their analogues is presented.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for dispensing chemical material, and in particular, granular, agricultural material, from a moving device driven over terrain to be treated with the material. A metering system for dispersing the material includes on apertured metering disk (70) positioned above a rotatable impeller (114). The apertured disk meters material from a product container (6), by gravity feed, onto the impeller (114) below at a rate proportional to the linear speed at which the apparatus is driven to dispense material at a uniform density over the terrain. The metering disk (70) is a component of a product container (6) which is removably mounted to the device. The impeller (114) rotates at a constant speed to disperse the deposited material at a uniform distance from the apparatus, and the position on which the material is deposited on the impeller (114) is adjustable. A clutch permits the user to discontinue dispensing material from the device at the selection of the user, and automatically discontinues dispensing of material when the apparatus is driven in a reverse direction. <IMAGE>
