Abstract: A supervisor program (130) for monitoring a self-service terminal (10) executing a terminal application suite (70,80) is described herein. The supervisor program (130) comprises: an internal interface (132) for communicating with the terminal application suite (70,80) to collect supervisor information and at least one supervisor utility (150). Each supervisor utility (150) is configured to collate specific information and each utility (150) has an external interface (154) for directly communicating the collated information to a service provider (114,116,118) external to the terminal (10). This enables the external service provider (114,116,118) to determine if the terminal (10) requires attention. A method of supervising a self-service terminal is also described.

Abstract: In order to provide a passenger constraining apparatus in which an inflated inflatable portion can be placed at a high position on a lateral side of a passenger's head without using a high-capacity inflator, a push-up device (20) for pushing up a shoulder belt section (10) is provided on an upper side of a seatback (3). The push-up device (20) is configured in such a manner that when the shoulder belt section (10) drawn between a belt guide (21) and a rotating member (23) is inflated, the rotating member (23) is pushed up by an inflating pressure of the shoulder belt section (10) and is rotated upward, and hence a lever section (24) is rotated downward in association therewith. The lever section (24) rotated downward comes into abutment with an abutment member (25). Then, in association with the process of inflation of the shoulder belt section (10), the lever section (24) is further rotated, and hence the lever section (24) raises the belt guide (21) upon reception of a reaction force from the abutment member (25), thereby pushing up the inflated shoulder belt section (10).

Abstract: Highly purified and specific glycosaminoglycan degrading enzymes, chondroitinase B and chondroitinase AC, are used to treat fibroproliferative diseases. The enzymatic removal of chondroitin sulfate B (dermatan sulfate), and to a lesser extent, chondroitin sulfate A or C, from cell surfaces effectively decreases growth factor receptors on the cells and thereby decreases the cell proliferative response to such growth factors. In addition, removal of chondroitin sulfates reduces secretion of collagen, one of the major extracellular matrix components. Through the combined inhibition of fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis, treatment with chondroitinase B or chondroitinase AC decreases the size of fibrous tissue found in psoriasis, seleroderma, keloids, pulmonary fibrosis and surgical adhesions.

Abstract: A transformation protocol is described for the particle mediated transformation of soybean. This protocol is based on gene delivery into the growing meristem of a soybean embryo. Prior transformation protocols based on meristematic gene delivery in soybean did not depend on selection due to difficulties in using selection agents in differentiated tissue in soybean. It has been found that a post bombardment culture with glyphosate selection can dramatically increase the efficiency of such a transformation protocol.

Abstract: A holder for holding biological sample containers such as well plates comprises a flat vacuum bed surrounded by a seal, and an exhaust outlet. A container placed with its lower perimeter on the seal has its flatness increased by removing air from between the vacuum bed and container via the exhaust outlet so that the reduced air pressure causes the lower surface of the container to be pressed against the flat vacuum bed. Samples in all portions of the container may then be imaged using a camera without the need to refocus the camera on each portion. A sample in a well of a well plate can be imaged when illuminated by a beam of light arranged so that a part or all of the sample is illuminated by direct rays that have not passed through the well plate. The beam is redirected to other parts of the sample if a single illumination does not cover the whole sample, so that the sample can be imaged using a series of partial images. To image many wells in a well plate, the well plate is moved continuously past the illuminating beam and the camera along a path that brings each well or part of a well in turn into a position for imaging. The beam is turned on and the camera shutter opened when each well is in the imaging position. The camera shutter may be open for a longer period that the period of illumination, so that the latter determines the exposure time for the image.
