Abstract: A novel suture anchor installation tool which comprises an elongated member having a first end and a second end and a slot extending from the first end towards the second end, the slot being sized to snugly accommodate the suture anchor's barb, whereby the suture anchor may be attached to the elongated member at the first end of the elongated member by fitting the barb into the slot so that the barb extends upward and outward from the first end of the elongated member, through the slot, with the body of the suture anchor engaging the first end of the installation tool. In use, the suture is first attached to the suture anchor and then the suture anchor is attached to the elongated member in the foregoing manner. Then the first end of the elongated member is pressed into a predrilled hole in the bone, forcing the suture anchor in ahead of it. As the suture anchor is pressed into the bone, its barb engages the side wall of the bone and is forced to retract backwards into the elongated member's slot so that it extends somewhat parallel to the elongated member. When the suture anchor bottoms out in the bone hole, and the elongated member is thereafter withdrawn, the barb's engagement with the bone wall will cause the suture anchor to separate from the elongated member, leaving the suture anchor (and its attached suture) anchored securely in the bone.

Abstract: A stationary driving device for directing the goods carriers from the branch section into the main section of a power-and-free endless conveyor has two belts (13, 14) which circulate in parallel in the same horizontal direction and accelerate the load carriers (3) by means of a frictional connection. At the same time, the drive belts assume guide functions so that a building up of the load carriers on the running and carrying rail is effectively prevented. The drive device is also suitable for leading a loaded goods carrier evenly past the unloading point. Since no building up can occur here either, fully automatic unloading is possible when using known unloading devices. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for modifying a wild strain of an entero-invasive Shigella to produce a modified strain of Shigella that can be used for making a vaccine against the wild strain. The genome of the wild strain is transformed by deleting all or a substantial part of: a) both its ompR and envZ genes; or b) its ompF gene. This renders the strain substantially less invasive. One or more additional genes of the wild strain, such as the icsA gene, are also deleted in whole or in part so that the so-modified strain is sufficiently non-invasive to be safe for use in a vaccine but sufficiently active to provide protection against the wild strain.

Abstract: Dispositif d'ajustage du foyer d'un capteur optique dans lequel la lumière réfléchie par un support d'enregistrement est focalisée dans des points de deux systèmes par l'utilisation d'un filtre de dérivation optique, un premier et un deuxième photodétecteur sont disposés, respectivement, en face d'un foyer et à l'arrière de l'autre foyer, et un mécanisme d'ajustage de foyer est servocommandé en réaction aux signaux de sortie provenant des deux photodétecteurs. Chacun des photodétecteur comporte une surface photodétectrice centrale sur l'axe optique et une surface photoréceptrice périphérique située à la périphérie de la surface photoréceptrice centrale. Selon un premier procédé, le mécanisme d'ajustage de foyer est servocommandé de manière à réduire à zéro l'écart entre le rapport de la quantité de lumière reçue au centre à la quantité totale de lumière reçue au centre et à la périphérie du premier photodétecteur et le rapport de la quantité de lumière au centre à la quantité totale de lumière au centre et à la périphérie du deuxième photodétecteur. Même si les deux détecteurs reçoivent différentes quantités de lumière, la différence est annulée entre le dénominateur et le numérateur du rapport de la quantité de lumière au centre à la quantité totale de lumière au centre et à la périphérie, et l'appareil n'est pas affecté par le déséquilibre de la quantité de lumière. Selon un deuxième procédé, le mécanisme d'ajustage de foyer est servocommandé en fonction de la différence entre les quantités de lumière reçue aux centres des deux photodétecteurs. Dans ce cas, la différence de la quantité totale de lumière reçue par les deux photodétecteurs est calculée à travers toutes les étapes, et cette différence est utilisée pour calculer une valeur de correction multipliée par le rapport de la quantité de lumière au centre à la quantité totale de la lumière reçue à l'état focalisé. Etant donné que la valeur de correction calculée est soustraite de la différence de quantité de lumière reçue dans les centres, le signal de sortie asservi ne contient pas de déséquilibre dans la quantité de lumière incidente sur les photodétecteurs des deux systèmes, et l'appareil n'est pas affecté par le déséquilibre de la quantité de lumière incidente.
