Abstract: A cloth bonding apparatus comprises a nozzle (17), a feeding portion (22,25) and a pressing portion (22,25). The nozzle (17) includes a discharge port (86) for discharging an adhesive. The feeding portion (22,25) feeds a cloth (152) in a first direction (401) relative to the nozzle (17). The pressing portion (22,25) is present in the first direction (401) relative to the nozzle (17), and presses an adhesive-applied adhesion portion (431) in the cloth. The cloth bonding apparatus starts or stops a processing of discharging an adhesive from the discharge port (86) toward the cloth (S33, S36). When the processing of discharging the adhesive is stopped, the cloth bonding apparatus outputs an instruction to the feeding portion (22,25) thereby to feed the cloth in the first direction up to the position where the pressing portion (22,25) presses a terminal portion (432) of the adhesion portion (431) (S37,S38). The cloth bonding apparatus can prevent partial drop of the bonding strength.

Abstract: Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces sequence-specific post-transcriptional gene silencing in many organisms by a process known as RNA interference (RNAi). Using a Drosophila in vitro system, we demonstrate that 19-23 nt short RNA fragments are the sequence-specific mediators of RNAi. The short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are generated by an RNase III-like processing reaction from long dsRNA. Chemically synthesized siRNA duplexes with overhanging 3' ends mediate efficient target RNA cleavage in the lysate, and the cleavage site is located near the center of the region spanned by the guiding siRNA. Furthermore, we provide evidence that the direction of dsRNA processing determines whether sense or antisense target RNA can be cleaved by the produced siRNP complex.

Abstract: A circular knitting machine for the production of cut pile has latch needles (N) in the dial (R) and pile elements (11) in the cylinder (Z). Each pile element has an upper pile forming portion (11a) for example shaped like a hook, and also, spaced substantially therebelow, a cutting edge (11c) which cooperates with an opposed separate cutting edge (12c) of a cutting element (12). Cutting is effected thereby in the direction transverse to the axis of the cylinder (Z). Pile loops (H) are pulled downwardly by the fabric take down (arrow W) from the pile forming portion (11a) to the cutting edge (11c) sufficient time being available, before they are cut, to extend the pile loops (H) as desired and to tension the needle stitches over the just formed pile loops (H). The opposed cutting edge (12c) can be angled or skewed with respect to the cutting edge (11c) so that even with fine gauges, a real scissor action is guaranteed with only point contact of the cutters. Fine gauges are not excluded on account of the fact that the opposed cutting edges (12c) operate neither in the slot for the pile elements in the cylinder (Z) nor in the area of the needles (N).

Granted: 1987-11-04
Abstract: The invention in question concerns an articulated portable trolley designed to facilitate changing the wheels of trucks, coaches, tractors and similar vehicles. The trolley, which is inserted under the wheel to be changed after it has been raised from the ground, can be adjusted according to the size of the wheel and raised to bring two arms with rollers into contact with the tire, which is supported, in this way, during dismantling. After having unscrewed the bolts, the trolley enables the wheel to be changed to be removed and lowered to the ground without effort. The new wheel to be mounted is then placed on the two lowered arms of the trolley and is, in this way, easily raised to the height of the hub and brought close to it. One of the two rollers may be made to rotate to make the wheel turn slowly to align the holes on the rim with the corresponding connections on the hub. The trolley is adjustable so as to be adaptable to wheels of differing sizes and can be dismantled in such a way as to be contained in a small case.
